Football Thread 2014/15 |OT4| Did you see that Ludogorets display last night?

I also remember people ardently saying he doesnt do big signings, that he will promote the youth.

Either our youth is un-salvageable or he has changed his tone

More the former, apart from Wilson and Januzaj. Over-relying on youth that were never going to be good enough is part of how we got in to this situation.

*looks in Smalling's direction*

Wilbur is a starving boy, who hasn't been fed since this morning. He needs your help can you spare 2 pound. £2 pounds can be used to buy food which he can eat. Text your donation now

The best thing about this transfer window is that Wenger will have to stop whinging about other clubs spending too much money.

The annoying thing about having South American players is them having to jet off to another continent far, far away for the international break.

Don't like Alexis missing the pre-season tour next year for the Copa America either.

Poor Lloyd.
First he had to endure the infinite sadness from Dean and now the overwhelming joy by Wilbs.

To be fair Smalling was ace in 10/11 when Rio was dead all season.

Thought he and Vidic were going to be our first choice partnership for a while.

Then Rio and Evans smashed it a couple of seasons later.

Our CB's are so odd.

Confidence and system are important.

Championship, or even Celtic defenders can look good if they're set up right, with the right protection.

So many of our transfers were gold in their first 1-2 seasons and then go to shit.

All the pointing to other players, the sideways passes, the little jump when he had a chance but completely messed it up all gone.

A fit and performing Carrick was quite often the key to a solid-looking defence for United. Hopefully Blind can do something similar.

To be honest, FootballGAF is the only place where I talk about football.

None of my friends here care about the game. Some are still puzzled that I love football, actually.
 
You'll wish you still had Cleverley when you end up with Anderson waddling about the centre circle, Fellaini elbowing anything that moves within a yard of him, and Fletcher moving with the mobility of someone giving a heffalump a piggyback

No, I'll wish we had Vidal or Strootman m8.
