Fernandinho will suck, just ask Naughty G. Needs more goal scoring mids
(they should do a Ligue 1 Fantasy League)Just realised Wanayama is only 5.0. Bargain!
Some changes: Luiz, Zaha and Kone out > Zabaleta, Wanayama and Benteke in.

Your last bit is absolutely asinine. He was still paying there since his buy-out clause was €50m/£42.5m and that's a huge fee for a midfielder. They didn't want him to leave since he was their vice-captain and had played 284 games for them. They made a documentary about him even -- he was as loved as a player could possibly be.
We aren't that reliant on his money any more. We did record a profit last season after all and the increased TV revenue is only going to help. It's not like all our transfers are personally bankrolled by Roman, the club has significantly increased its revenue.
And how long has this been said?
bayern sold gomez for only 15.5m euros?!?! http://espnfc.com/blog/_/name/espnfcunited/id/7899?cc=5901
didn't bayern break their transfer fee record few years back to buy him?
i guess pep don't rate him high at all lol
i'm surprised bigger clubs and clubs in CL didn't bid for him

Lets talk about Cesc baby, lets talk about R.V.P.
Damn you guys are fucking masochists.
Your team is a title winning side, there's no value in the market and you already have some good youth players coming through.
Ignore the cescy Spaniard eyeing you from across the bar. He's already got a plan for his tender Catalunyan bunghole and you're not in it.

Look at T Silva. Looks like an angel gliding through the field.
Can't wait.
WONT FIND ANY ARGUMENTS FROM ME
Barca and Madrid really are coated of the same brush. Such disgusting clubs.
I'm sure his fee would have been higher if the club who bought him was in the UCL. Gomez is apparently excited about being a big fish in a medium sized pond. Clearly the fans are very excited about it -- seems like it'd be a great team to play for and they strike me a bit as the next Dortmund. A lot of upside at Fiorentina if they can keep most of their players outside of JoJo.

Borja Valero will rake in even more assists next season.
13/14 season:
1. Napoli
2. Fiorentina
3. Juve
4. Milan
20. Inter
Poor Thiago Silva, being held hostage in Paris when the only things he wants is to play for Barcelona, his dream.

Everyone knows that T.Silva's had Barca DNA. CES.. I MEAN THIAGO SILVA IS SUFFERING.
Also, just read that Moyes says Rooney will only play if backup to Van Persie. I said Damn. Moyes carrying that grudge from 10 years ago like a WWE special event.
THIS IS THE SHIT I HATE

:lol "the physicality of the premier league". They make it sound like they play a whole different sport there.
He'd nutmeg em all.
It's believable.
1) United scouts picked out Thiago as an undervalued player, available on the cheap and willing to move to get more playing time.
2) Moyes comes in and isn't certain that Thiago is the type of player he'd like. Probably going with his instinct.
3) Deliberation continues, United scouts don't want to force their recommendations on the new manager, new manager's doubts delay the deal.
4) Bayern step in, Thiago can be certain that Pep will want to use him, Bayern suddenly become very attractive given their strength in all areas of the pitch, and their recent success.
5) Clubs are happy to do business (Bayern and Barca) because Bayern offers to pay above the release clause, avoiding unnecessary paperwork for all parties.

Peculiar that Cesc would be a target then.
I mean, if we're not just about reinforcing narratives about Moyes.

Why is peculiar?
If what he really wants (in preference to technically gifted, defensively light passing CMs from Barcelona) is Fellaini or Strootman (if, indeed, that is what he predominantly means when he says we are light in midfield), then it makes awfully limited sense for Cesc to be target #1 and Marouane target #2.
Fellaini's cost isn't going down or up. What can happen is that someone else will nab him while United delay. So it can be fairly safely presumed that targets pursued ahead of him are players we definitely fucking want. And seeing as it appears Moyes has an imagination-straining boner for Cesc, it seems odd that he would turn his nose up at a supposedly eminently gettable Thiago.

Premier League proven. And Moyes says he wants two midfielders.
But I don't think he's got a bias against technical, perceptually lightweight CMs per se. He did bring in Arteta at Everton.
