Serie A is still better than my precious Ligue 1. 
You can take PSG, give us Inter or Napoli to spice things up

I wish. Look at that smirk on his face despite the tattoo. He's got it made in his mind. Total bliss. In fact, the forehead tattoo adds further weight to that theory.
Some say £56m, whilst others say £60 going up to £70m if performance targets are met.
I'll just be happy if we sign him. Massive pressure on the lad but I think he'll be great. No idea how LVG wants to use him.

They were doomed as soon as Pospech left them, getting Hjulmand only made it so much clearer.
Maybe the Swansea result had a positive impact on LVG and Wooderz in terms of transfers.
Hope we can get him in and also get Herrera and Rojo available for next weekends game.

Woowar wants to seem like a big dick OG by getting deals done near the transfer deadline. I'd rather have deals done right at the start since it would mean not losing at home to Swansea, but whatever.
Just like Vidal is worth 100 million pounds if it meant we never saw Cleverly or Fletcher again. Di Maria might be worth 200 million pounds if it meant we never saw Young and Valencia again.

I hope Anderfat plays over Clevdog. At least he isn't a pussy.

I caught the Everton vs Arsenal match on DVR since I was out this morning taking my son to his first movie theater experience.
Hot damn, I thought they would pull it off. Even though the striker was offsides, the Lukaku build up to that second goal was superb. That guy is a beast.
American Superstar Tim Howard wasn't on his game today. He seemed out of position for both Arsenal scores. I wonder how many eff bombs he dropped after the match...

Any way he decides to use him, it will not be in a wing back role. LVG did say that he would like to use 433 if he has a winger like CR7 or DiMaria, it seems we are getting him, so 433 is a viable formation.
Also, he can be used as the second forward in a 352, just like Robben in the Dutch squad and as we saw in Madrid last year, he can be used as a midfielder in a 433 formation.
What movie did you guys see?

Would like for us to move to a 433, but then it'll probably mean Rooney on the wing.
This shows a lack of respect for the world we live in.
What does?

His wages and the fee. Disgraceful. I hope every United supporter feels bad, they could have donated that to ALS, or to stop ALS. or whatever.
Look at what Rooney is supposedly on. It has got WAY out of hand!

They have no morals in Manchester.

I can't pretend to care too much about the fee because 1) were desperate 2) rather send the money to Real than keep it - but I can't help but think we could have spent the £120m or whatever it is better than we have.
Anyhow. Di Maria is looking like he could become one of the worlds best players so that's good for us. Feeling very good about the depth in our attack now.

Yeah, £56 is high but he's coming to the peak of his career. Remember watching his performances last season and he was amazing. Definitely a major reason why Madrid were successful. The "engine" in midfield. Crazy they're selling him but thankfully it's to us and not another PL rival. Really hope (if he comes) he settles in quickly and hits the ground running.
Herrera is a good buy, better than anything else we have in midfield although a little overpriced. However, we aren't really in a power position that allows us to be lowering fees and making demands.
If Shaw can turn out to be the player we all think he can be, than the 30m will seem like a fair price. He's also English. Potentially World Class, but its not a good start with injuries/fitness issues.
In terms of our attack: Rooney, RVP, Januzaj, Di Maria, Mata, Wilson, Chicha, Welbeck, Young and Valencia.
Looks strong and some good depth. A mix of proven and potential.
I really want Januzaj to play tomorrow. Play 433 and start him on the right wing. He needs to play more often so he can develop into the GOAT.

The Real Madrid we saw against Atletico the other day is a Madrid lacking Di Maria. Without him they don't have a runner in midfield and really didn't look threatening once they fell behind.
Currently, they have nobody who is at Di Maria's level who can play in that midfield role. Kroos is too similar to Modric imo. James may be able to potentially, but I don't think he is as good defensively.
Di Maria - Alonso - Modric
This was a brilliant midfield and pretty balanced. Madrid really didn't need to change their first 11.
