you fucking southern pansy
Damn straight, sometimes i open up a few posts from those on the list and im instantly reminded why I have them on there.
Of course if im on your list you cant see this, hixx pls.
in a heartbeat, our current options are Cleverley, Fellaini, Fletcher - apart from Herrera for a club like United, its a fucking joke. Some responsibility should fall on SAF

Word is we've pit the most money on the table for Di Maria and offered him the best contract but he isn't sure as he wants champions league football.
No idea why we are not in for Khedira.
Right, which is massively reductive when you consider that the best teams in history are examples of a coach making individuals play as a cohesive unit.
On an individual level Atletico's team last year was nowhere near the best in the league, nor one of the top two in all of Europe.
Look at Dortmund, take Kagawa out of that team and into a soul-sucking environment and he's a fraction of the player.
It's an odd one.
You'd think by January, Roma will be in the midst of a league campaign and could very well be in the knockout stages of the Champions League. Therefore, less likely to sell and the player more reluctant to go.
Maybe LVG has already tapped him up.
Well its assuming Van Gaal is still in the job and that the kind of player we want can now be offered CL football

Would love Khedira at Utd personally.
Any truth in Zaha going to QPR on loan?

It's an incredibly useful feature. Makes many threads a much more pleasant read

Only reason I saw it is cause it's Jose Reyes and my local Miami sports radio show posted it, sorry bruv!
Wasn't this Fergus' later years to a T?

We've been missing out on players for years. Even when we were in the CL.
The only thing that's different now is what Woodward manages it in the most awful and public way possible.
Share pls
I'd definitely take Khedira. I quite like him.
I remember when there was a thread and Meus had half this thread on ignore :lol
I wonder if I'm still there
Yep. Yep yep yep.

Whether or not I would want Khedira would rely massively on what fee we're talking. He's one of those players who definitely has an upper limit to his worth, like £20 - 25m ish.

Have you seen any preseason games for Atlético? How are they performing as an unit?

I think RVP might come off the bench and then start the following matches.
KidA, apologies if this has been posted. But I'm so sorry
Liverpool set to make move for Patrick Roberts

That anyone is so important to the team though. And it doesn't look like we are trying for that anyone.
the two striker system at United needs to die, I thought van Ghaleon would kill it but he's just been sucked into the warp that is United. Rooney cannot coexist with another striker unless it's someone like Danny Welbeck, a player who is going to run around and open up space. Rooney and RVP is going to be a colossal nightmare, just watch.
Fernando was a replacement/upgrade for Javi Garcia -- far more mobile and assured with the ball than him. Ferna and Fernando don't really play the same position naturally but Pellegrini wants 22 players, with effectively 2 starters for every position on the pitch. I imagine that during AFCON, they'll play together with Ferna being more in Yaya's role than in a defensive one.

Marcos Rojo trained with Sporting this morning.

saw a couple of games at the Carranza, and the America game.
They still have the defensive spine Miranda-Godin in defense, in mid Suarez-Thiago-Gabi or Garcia for Thiago. The issue is up front, Madzukic is a different type of player than Costa, costa could drop to the wing, Madzukic is very static. Turan is injured, so I expect Koke, Griezman and Madzukic up front.
Defensively Atletico is the same, offensively they lost a ton of potential. Then again 2-3 counter attacks and Atletico can be beaten. On Real side, the inclusion of James will probably be detrimental to Real's counter.
And you thought Footballers have the worse hairstyles
It certainly explains your managers don't matter theory though!
I just mean in general m8, as in a first team (or my personal first team if we stick with the formation)
Jarnet's right though, Welbeck is better for Rooney and RVP than they are for each other
The lack of pace in our side is unbelievable, and its not even the most pressing issue, we are incredibly easy to defend against.

LVG will be fucking up the easiest league starting schedule in history, delicious.

IC, I thought PEllegrini brought him to compete with Fernandihno, makes sense also considering Rodwell was sold (useless signing). Not sure if I like Fernando more than Javi Garcia, but only time will tell.
And so a person's (in this case you) subjective opinion of individual footballers is entirely worthless and at odds with reality.
Would agree with that.
Rooney and RVP are chalk and cheese at times and I'm wondering if the later is still capable of pulling a rabbit out of the hat.
He's on the wrong side of 30 and has recurring fitness issues.

Rooney and RVP have a very high strike rate when playing together.

Thanks. I love your insight posts. I also agree that James instead of Di Maria will definitely take away from our counter attacking prowess.
Going back to Atlético, I do think they are aware of their limitations on offense, do you think Jiménez can be an impact player for them going forward? I don't know much about the lad, but el cholo must be seeing something in him.

I would give it a shot.
We have yet to see how Rooney + RVP + Mata + Herrera combine together.
With some pacy WBs they might work out.

Doesn't RVP adore LVG?
He might be ok with playing occasionally. Well maybe.
He's still a cunt at times.
