I'm not gonna build my fantasy team just yet. So many players are set to leave these shores.

Suarez, Rooney, Bale etc.

Gomez: Why I chose Fiorentina

“This move may seem strange to some, I had everything in Munich, but here I will have the chance to also play for my World Cup place.”

“Nobody had to convince me to join this club, but Guardiola confirmed to me that the Fiorentina project and their attacking play was the right reality.”

Good luck, Mario. <3

13/14 season:

1. Napoli
2. Fiorentina
3. Juve
4. Milan
20. Inter

Hey I'll sign up for this!


So Ogbonnator's number is 5 then. ;)

I love how the Thiago saga ended with the revelation that Moyes' indecision caused a wobble. All those days United-GAF were getting tetchy, and we all assumed things were ticking along behind the scenes, Moyes was actually locked in deep thought about Thiago's physique.

so I guess Sagna's not getting sold this summer? It's the right decision, if so. He's experienced and we wouldn't be getting a particularly respectable fee for him anyways, even if he's lost a step or two after the two leg breaks.

I feel the same. Not getting any money for him when the contract runs out is bad but we wouldn't buy any worthwhile replacement even if we did menage to sell him this summer.

Fucking Virgin Media bell ends. Phoned up to cancel, was told this had been done and just got another bill as it appears they never fucking did what I asked in the end. Morons.

What's Cesc Fab's best position? It can't be CM?

If he's a trequartista, then you don't really need him. You still have Kagawa and Rooney.

All Arnold's little Moyeezus jibes will be hilarious when we win the league and Liverpool come 7th again
After losing to the Singha Shitehawks, United fans aren't even sure that their team will beat an Owen Coyle Championhip outfit. That's all I want at this stage. The slug's doing everything I'd hoped.

I think ill start calling him Moyeezus, too.

P.s. my work sarny is full of Nandos chicken and sauce.

He played aside Gilberto in a loose 4-4-2 and did great, I'd definitely say his best position is CM.

Wigan don't even have Kone to bully our fragile defence anymore. If we don't win 12-0 I want him sacked

Enjoy mi amor. You'll be the talk of the town when someone sees you rocking custom made Nandos sandwich, that's ingenuity on a cosmic level

I like getting a quarter chicken and tearing it all off the bone with a fork into a wrap and then halloumying the fuck out of it

For Barca he really can't fill in for Xavi, does better job of replacing Iniesta...too bad it needs to be the other way.

I wouldn't say that's because he can't play CM though, just because he's an entirely different player than Xavi. Far more direct, doesn't set a rhythm like Xavi does. It's like Sanchez; he's certainly capable of playing on the right but looks out of place because his game doesn't necessarily fit Barca's

Gonna hit up Budgens for a coke and a ripple, too. Lunch is gonna be m a d.

Receptionist is ill at work so a few of us are doing shifts to cover her. This is great, the first time I've been able to twaddle about on GAF for weeks.

Ah, right.

Is Carrick as good as Gilberto defensively though?

Nah, probably not. Underrated defensively, but probably not. I don't think it would be too much of a problem, but then I suppose that's why we're looking at Fellaini as well.

Which is quite promising, because it means - at least until Carrick gets older - we might be using 3 in midfield and I think Fellaini-Carrick-Fabregas would be wonderfully balanced (but I'll repeat it isn't happening lol)

Budgens near my work is fucking odd, the guys behind the counter are always arguing and telling each other to serve the customer. Pair of sporks always forget to charge me for strawberries as well LOOOL. Get fucked, local commerce.

First Team:

Neuer

Lahm - Dante - Martinez - Alaba

Schweinsteiger

Robben Thiago Kroos Ribery

Götze

Muller instead of Robben for sure. Muller will be like the new Pedro.

Robben played himself into my heart last year. I would rather exchange Kroos with Müller.
 
Rio Ferdinand is conducting what can only be described as a merkathon on the Man United Twitter account. Apparently Zaha is bad at 'banter' because he can't back it up, Rio and RVP are the best at 'banter'.

I'll keep you all updated.

I was thinking something like:

--------------------------Muller--------------------------

-Ribery-----Thiago-------------Gotze-----Robben-

------------------------Scweini--------------------------

-Alaba-----Martinez----------Dante--------Lahm---

-------------------------Neuer---------------------------

Would Gotze even work there? If not, swap with Muller.

Probably a bit too attack minded but fuck it, it's Pep.

Man that looks weird. Why go 4-1-4-1 when you have potent guys Kirchhoff and Gustavo at disposal ? One thing sure: Badstuber career at Bayern is over. Look at the crowd in the back 0_o
When not playing 4-1-4-1, I see the following formation:

Neuer
Lahm-Dante-Alaba
Schweini-Martinez
Robben-Müller-Ribéry
Thiago-Mandzukic

Fudge, it seems like we're stuck with Motta, Jorge -Uruguayan Bebe- Martínez, Ziegler and Ashton Kutcher. -_-

Where's the Ballon d'Or winner? He should be starting over Robben.

When we last won the CL we had Scholes, Carrick, Hargreaves, Fletcher, Anderson in the squad.

Now it's really only Carrick and Cleverley; Anderson (pies), Fletcher (AIDs), Jones and Giggs don't exactly qualify as reliable midfielders.

Fabregas, Carrick, Fellaini, Clevdog, the almost-midfielders: at least that comes somewhere close.

I think you need wingbacks when you play with 3 at the back. Playing 3 at the back isn't really a method of cramming as many attacking players as possible into the XI.
