Just a question, but who would you like United to sign for central midfield, seen as you've missed out on Thiago.

Personally, I think* you should go for De Rossi if he is available.

*if i was a united fan.

If he is available then we should certainly make a move, but Chelsea's wages, location and manager is more attractive to a player like him I'd imagine.

I think we'll get Fellaini, but apart from that I can't really think of anyone. We missed a trick with Wanyama, that's for sure.

Would love us to make a bid for Kroos because he might be doubting where he'll start, and it might have a knock on effect to Thiago if Pep ensures him he starts all games. Gustavo as well won't get a huge amount of gametime I'd imagine, and I've been pretty impressed with him the majority of the time I've seen him.

If he was a couple a years younger then I'd have no hesitation in signing him. But he's 30 years old now and can go nowhere but down.

I doubt we'd spend £20m for a player of his age.

Hitch, if you're still looking to pick up Tomb Raider and have a capable PC, then it's only £7.49 on Steam.

We're going to win the league.

What the fuck is all this "Aspas scores on his debut" shit all about though? Since when did a preseason game count as a fucking debut?

Vidal is my dream signing, but he probably won't leave.

De Rossi looks to be leaving Roma and he would be high on my list, but we've become such a joke by diluting our squad with mediocre players that the idea of signing either of them is ridiculous.

Fellaini is starting to look like a pretty good shout given that no one thinks we can attract any top midfielders.

Fuck it, let's sign him then.

Since David Moyes lost his first game in charge of United.

I'm better than Welbeck. WTF, how is he playing for United and I am sitting here studying for finals?

So, I'm watching this 50 years of Bundesliga show on TV and they just showed this ad with Bierhoff and Köpke:

Yeah. We're both going down this season.

LOL at Welbeck.

Gustavo as well won't get a huge amount of gametime I'd imagine, and I've been pretty impressed with him the majority of the time I've seen him.

I don't agree on Chelsea being more attractive than United. United have consistently won titles for twenty years, and are favorites to do it again despite the change of manager. Manchester isn't a bad city and Mourinho is coming of the back of a disastrous last season at Madrid, he had more enemies than friends at Real Madrid when he left. I'm sure if you really wanted someone like De Rossi you could. However, I've read that United don't use agents in a modern way, rather that they dictate to them on their terms rather than the players. Most big players don't really operate like this now do they? You can bet that someone like De Rossi would have someone in the mold of a Mino Raiola as did Mkhitaryan did. I can't see United negotiating with an agent like that.

I don't think you missed a trick with Wanyama anyhow, he is only proven in the SPL and a handful of games in the Champions League. In my opinion he doesn't justify his £12.5m price tag, although saying that as he's only 21 even if he flopped you would of got half of that back.

Gustavo move be a decent signing for you, maybe as a bench player. If you want to win the Champions League you need better than Gustavo.

Welbeck's a good player. He scored a bunch in 11/12, had a poor season last year but was amazing in both games against Madrid. He's skilful, fast, can hold the ball up and intelligent.

Robin van Persie didn't exactly set the world alight when he was 22, as I saw on Twitter. Can we give him some time pls

Norwich signings: Leroy Fer, Javier Garrido, Ricky Van Wolfswinkel, Nathan Redmond, Martin Olsson and Carlo Nash. Good business so far.

By the by, it's been widely rumoured that Benteke has to sort out his transfer by Wednesday. Thati supposedly the deadline Villa have put on it otherwise they're not selling him this window.

Sampdoria try out new technology in training. This device will be used to track team movements & positions from top.

I can't wait for proper cameras to be good enough to fit on such a thing, imagine the replays we can get at our matches.

I think at De Rossi's age Chelsea would look a safer bet considering Moyes is in charge now. Might be wrong, but Mourinho has an appeal that Moyes won't have.

Gustavo move be a decent signing for you, maybe as a bench player. If you want to win the Champions League you need better than Gustavo.

The problem is that everyone better than Gustavo isn't available. Genuinely good midfield players aren't likely to leave the clubs they're at now, because they won't want to or because their clubs don't want them to. Sure you can find bargains, and we've missed a trick with players like Dembele, but the reality is there just isn't many available.

The Britannia would end up looking like the setting for Wall-E

 

[Fergie]

Why not? £30m is only £10m more than £20m. If we took the £7m we spent on Bebe and not spent it on Bebe and the £3m we spent on Buttner and not spent it on Butter, we'd basically be getting a £30m player for £20m.

Basically, if we stopped buying a load of rubbish, we'd be able to streamline our squad and have a better first team instead of having Ashley Young on the bench.

We won't be able to match Madrid spending ability, be serious.

And Fellaini is awesome.

 

[Clegg]

I expect Tanc is about to tell us that United have contacted Jovetic's agent.

 

[Shagwell]

These Steam sales are pure shit.

Overhyped garbage.

What the fuck is surgeon simulator and how is it a best seller? First time I've ever looked at Steam sales. Usually only use it to buy Football Manager tbh.

Oh, also, Ibe, Iago, and Coutinho are ace <3

 

[Fry]

Let's be honest, United have been playing like shit for a long time, they just managed to win the title because of Froggie, I don't see Moyes having 1/3 of that influence.

I hope we don't sign strikers, we're full already.

Do not judge moyes on his debut match. These things, they take time.
Likewise with liverpool. I don't care they win 4-0 or 4-1, jury is still out on them.

I'm not talking about spending half a billion in 5 years like Madrid do.

I'm talking about prices for individual players. We won't be able to sign 5 players for 40m a piece like Madrid can, but there's no reason why we shouldn't be able to sign one or even two depending on outgoings.

There's no need to have a £18m, 80k a week player like Young on the bench, or spending £7.5m on a homeless Portuguese kid. That money could have gone towards signing a world class player.

watching a repeat of PSG Ligue 1 championship celebration, wow this is cheesy as fuck lol

 

[Turok_TTZ]

well that escalated quickly. whats wrong mate?

 

[GQman2121]

In my mind, Fellaini has always been a Yaya Toure type of player--not a Khedira. If he moves in the next few weeks it won't be for less than £30-30m. Khedira isn't worth a fraction of that with his performances over the last two years.


Anyway, Chelsea PR:

Indonesian supporters going all in.
