Veratti + Thiago
Mmm...
Yeah, I've been wanting to say it won't happen for weeks now, but I don't quite know how to articulate "all the signs point to it being guaranteed thus all the signs point to it not happening" the way I want to.
LEON OSMAN WE'RE COMING TO GET U
I'd put Benz up there instead, think he has more talent. He'll score and he'll assist. Pipita is a lone striker and with the focus on Fake-Ronaldo that kills his role pretty much.
This is not how the summer was supposed to look like. First it was all about getting Bale but then the rumours died down and it started to look more like he wouldn't come this summer but it was ok; by the time the rumors died down we were getting Isco which is a top quality player (despite us already having solid players in his position). We took Carvajal back so all that was needed was a great striker to replace Higuain/Benz and we'd had done well in the transfer window. Cavani looked like a great option and with him describing his love and admiration for the club it looked more likely he'd join us till the shitty oil-club Paris Saint Lol went in for him. There's still no talk about Suarez (whom I'd prefer less than Cavani but still a great player) and now there are rumors of Pipita staying. Fuck this shit, I want Higuain to be replaced by a better player and then fuck off from Madrid
(so I can see him in an Arse kit <3)
Well considering he was closely linked to Spurs it's actually somewhat of an upgrade, especially when you consider that no prospective club was going to be able to match Barcelona from a footballing perspective. Canny move.
Speaking of Spurs, now that Villa's moved elsewhere I bet they're annoyed that they didn't move for Kone whilst he was on the market...
JUST FUCKING KIDDING LOLVERTON LOL LOL
He won't feel so special when Monaco win Ligue 1, get bent.Blanc already making Ibra feel special.
With the Abidal going to Spartak Monaco then Digne should be coming!
Morata, Jese...young talent right there. Perez can fuck off if he let these guys go, bith show lots of potential and definitely show the quality to be future players at Madrid. Illarramendi would be a great signing as well (although for competitions sake I'd prefer to see him stay through Sociedad another season with them in CL)
I like Bryan Robson.
Helped destroy The Blunts and said we were the best purchase in English football on that program about shady takeovers.
Don't think I'd trust his opinions on football though. Bloke talks a LOT of bollocks outside of the above two examples.

Verratti and Thiago huh? Sure, I can dig it.
I'm hoping Ancelotti will do great, for now I have hope in him making our team very challenging both in Spain and in Europe. He has all the experience you'd hope a manager would have, besides doesn't he like investing in players from the academy? That would be a good thing.
Just put yourself on the United list already.
Mad we haven't signed Khedira's replacement yet. Khedira is the same player since the day we signed him 3 years ago. zero improvement since that time. Lacking technical ability, Lacking tactical awareness and positioning, too damn sluggish/stiff/slow. A decent tackler at least but he is good at nothing save physicality. average at almost everything, it will bother me a lot if he continues to start and not improve.
you cannot come soon enough Illarramendi!

:lol wtf. The guy will become a legend just on his name alone.

Because, as per usual, your pre-conceived notion is misaligned with reality; hence your inability to understand things.
Serious? PSG are pretty small time

I lump him in with Meus.
You mean "Ronny" isn't "coming home"?
I wonder if his middle name is "FACKIN"
PSG are richer than manutd, are in cl contention, are not a selling club, and have no reason to let verratti go. there isn't a release clause for verratti, not that i remember of.
gl to manutd but I don't see them signing verratti unless verratti's contract is in his last year and he wants to move on.
PSG aren't small time. T.S. is better than any defender united has and RVP got nothing on Zlatan. Shinji is cool but Lucas Moura is cooler.
If Blanc can recreate the bourdeax team he did all those years ago, this psg side can take out manutd np.

It's Ronnie. Can't even mock right.
Haters gonna hate etc etc.
I don't see the point in Isaiah Brown joining Chelsea from West Brom. He made his league debut last season at only 16 so surely he'd be in line for more game time over the next few seasons.
Chelsea have a poor record with young players. He'd be loaned out for a couple of seasons, forgotten about for a year or two, and if he's good enough maybe he'd become a semi regular in the first team by the time he's 22.

I think the more important question here is whether it's technically possible to use more Instagram filters than Zaha does?

I completely understand your points, what I would say is that seems to be a clear intention to use more of the younger players (note the word intention, no idea if it will actually happen). We've got a team that is growing ever younger with the signings we make. I think the club have invested a lot in these younger players (ones outside the first team) and are hoping that some of them do make it. If we can have some academy players come through it will mean we don't need to spend and I think thats part of how they see us becoming self sustaining.

I really don't wanna get into these petty club wars but really what do PSG have over any of the English clubs?
They got to the CL quarter finals. That's literally it, a decent run for one season.
Of course they can pay alot of money...but that's the only attraction for players. I'm only guessing but I reckon if you asked any of the PSG players if he could swap PSG for United/City/Chelsea on equal pay he'd say yes pretty quickly.
Anyhow - PSG won't be selling anyone anytime soon.

Nope, but both Cristiano and Florentino have stated their intent the past week to continue the Ronaldo/Madrid relationship.
