Georgi Milanov to CSKA Moscow. I think he was linked with Aston Villa earlier. Honda replacement, I guess.
For a whole season for once. Thats what every United fans problem is. The seemingly guaranteed shit stretch of fitness.
does he have a release clause?
we need Higuain ASAP; hopefully he can gel with the team quickly, and we can hit the ground running this season. why oh why are we so shit at buying and selling players though... I feel like every deal takes two or more months to complete.

looool just seen on Twitter that some people have been betting on Suarez to Arsenal.
looooooooooool

Yeah I liked the look of him. I wonder if we're still in for his fellow countryman Popov.

I wonder if United will change their transfer policy now that Moyes is in charge.
Over the last few years we've tried to get new players in before the start of the pre season tour so they could start gelling with their new teammates. RVP was an exception because he's a world class player and worth the added time it took to sign him.
Would Moyes be willing to go right up to deadline day to get the player he wants?

It'll be a 4321 or a 4222. Book it!Don't worry Marca already figure it out.
As you can see there isn't anything wrong with the midfield 8- )

Correct
Hopefully that'll be just (lol) 5 league fixtures with a CC match early in the season.
Wonder what would have happened if we'd organised some FA-sanctioned friendlies. They banned Rooney for getting sent off in one, wonder if it would work the other way round.
Saw someone today compare his situation to Torres in 2010.
To be fair to Torres, he came back from winning the world cup to a team managed by Roy Hodgson, with Paul Konchesky playing left back. Bit of a difference...

Who's better, Bale now or Giggs in his prime?
Rooney being England's best player says more about England than it does about Rooney

Texting my dad talking about City stuff.
He's crucifying #BasedTxiki saying he's failed to land one single priority target and that he and Ferran came thinking Pep was on the way.
Even my dad, lifelong City fan of 51 years doesn't have faith in Txiki
Txiki is a joke tbf.
Why exactly did you hire him? Is it because he's good at his job, or because he used to be an important figure at Barcelona?

Dunno but if we don't sign somebody by the end of the week I might go crazy.
We hired Ferran Soriano to replace Cook as CEO. I guess he brought him.

I don't know why, under Txiki Barça got top players like Chygrynskiy and Hleb among others.
I think my dad has a more rounded view of City. You gotta remember, for 21 years of my life they sucked, my dad has saw them be successful more than me!

Penalties in Colombia-South Korea.
The Colombian keeper took the second penalty, balls of steel. Hit the underside of the crossbar, unsaveable.

Stop delivering me bad news Sviat!
Well, we're going to get an attacking midfielder before the window closes. We've already signed 6 players whilst some in here haven't even had one. I suppose I shouldn't be too greedy.
Bale now.
The big "but" being that Giggs stayed consistent for so long. Bale has a long way to go on that front.
To be honest, I doubt he knows what the fuck he is doing right now. The back room staff clearout, shouts more about 'bringing his mates over' than about doing what's best for the club.
It took Fergie long enough to get to grips with United. Moyes doesn't have that luxury. We're at the top of the EPL and can only go down. United have bid for Baines, but that a no brainer. They are also on the hunt for Ronaldo, which is another no brainer. Rooney is a problem he is laden with. I doubt he will force Rooney's hand, Moyes, to me, is the kind of manager, that likes to get players on side, and play the best they can for him, for the club.
If Rooney wants to go, Moyes isn't going to stop him. Worst thing he could do is let him sulk on the bench.

I wanna know what Woodward is up to.
All these guys have taken over in key roles and haven't said shit.
I DON'T LIKE IT.

It was sarcasm,
I mean Chygrynskiy was the main clue...(although seems that Pep asked for that one).Most Barça fans I know thinks that Txiki sucks, well he brought Pique I guess.
Anyone watching Hafnarfjodur - Fram (Iceland) ? Entertaining 1st half
Whats happening?
Why is your CEO's pet making decisions for you and on a massive salary?
Cause it's his job to make those decisions lol

Have to say, City fans had fooled me Txixi knew what he was doing.
It's wonderful to read Barca fan after Barca fan reveal he doesn't know anything.

Can't say I agree with that. It's the norm for new managers to bring over their staff when they join a club. Moyes is no different.
You've got a point about having to hit the ground running, though. The club is used to success and anything other than that will raise big questions about Moyes. Many people, including myself, were amazed with what Ferguson was about to do with that squad. Will Moyes be able to do the same? We'll have to wait and see.
Can the club even afford to slip behind?
I wish
scouse cunt will get his way and get a bigger contract because moyes is a bitch
Nothing special, at least Hafnarfjodur is 1-0 up
. Still a good game, both teams are really going for it. Some hard challenges, good chances on both sides and solid allround play. Not able to watch the Icelandic league often, but I'm always impressed with the quality of the league.KidA Seven

What exactly is his job anyway? Essentially DoF?
Reckon Pellegrini will want to keep him around? Can't have made a great first impression when he got back off his holidays to find Isco was selling his soul to Madrid.

Bebe is about to embark on his 4th pre season with United.
4th.
Just think about that for a minute.

Should give him a million pounds for winning United's pre season games. Helps United's image overseas.
Exactly, no one puts Bebe in the corner.
