Can't let Ronaldo win, amirite?

Woodward is like the new guy at work, trying too hard to make a good impression with a "big splash" so everyone will like him, when what he needs to do is get his head down and just do his job properly.
Anyone know if LvG has/will have the clout at Old Trafford to get rid of Woodward in the future if he keeps ballsing up transfer windows?
I haven't seen enough of Can to judge him yet, but he hasn't looked great in the games I have seen him in.
(Against United for Leverkusen, although I think he played in defence in that game, and in pre-season for Liverpool)
Would still probably have him over Cleverley, but it's not a high bar.

Right everyone knows that award was nonsense. Ronaldo agrees with everyone? Personally Müller should've taken it.
URight.

So first session he shows what he can do, and second session he has to lower himself to adapt to the standards of Cleverly.

Why does Ronaldo need to talk about it? I prefer Ronaldo to Messi, but Ronaldo has the inferiority complex. It is why he did that ridiculous celebration for 15 goals in the CL. He needs to feel like he is the better than Messi.

Or he was celebrating a record breaking goal....
You really think he wouldn't have cared as much if he wasn't beating Messi's?

He didn't even really do anything major against City, but I saw enough to make a snap judgement that Markovic is gonna be boss. Only like 20 minutes, but he seemed to have a knack for passing at the right time which is often missing in young players renown for their dribbling ability
So.... What's wrong with that? That's his rival, on a rival team.

Copenhagen - Torino? Easy Timerda, easy.
Please swoop in for Welbeck instead of us.

He's an enigmatic genius, like Vincent van Gogh.
Misunderstood by society at large.
Cut his ear off, but wildly talented.

How dare he express his joy setting a new record for a single European Cup campaign. I really don't think he cares much about Messi. Media is making it a thing and you're lapping it up.

Fellaini got screwed.
If Welbeck does join us then he will be vying for one of 4 positions, either as a CF or one of the 3 roving players behind. He will get plenty of minutes.
Of course I assume we would bin Soldado.
Fellaini should be up there.
Torres, for example, provided a key killer goal against Barcelona in the Champions League.
What has he done?

Chelsea wasted £50m on Torres
Liverpool wasted £35m on Carroll
Newcastle didn't reinvest that money (iirc)
The rest of the league and Mike Ashley won
edit: Torres' Barca goal wasn't key imo, it was the final nail in the coffin

Man Utd may have needed another attacker, but the question is was Di Maria the most effective use of the money available? Considering players like Sanchez transferred for half that price. Yes, one should consider that United wouldn't have been able to sign Sanchez, but I still think there would have been a cheaper attacker who would provide much of what Di Maria does.
Can may not be the answer for United but again, there are a lot of good players who transferred for similar amounts and would have instantly improved United's midfield

While of course I do not know his mind, I think that the over the topness was because it was Messi. It must pain Ronaldo that despite being an adonis, football comes so much more naturally to Messi. Ronaldo works and works to improve himself everyday, while Messi is nowhere near his physical abilities. He never needed to give those remarks about Messi, but it was a chance for him to get in a cheap shot.

Holy crap if true lol
Didn't Newcastle buy Kebab from that money?

Think all of the money they've spent since has been PL and TV money

Newcastle bought lots of shit Frenchmen. Nobody won. Torres has done a few good things, like in the Europa League finale, and a few actual important goals in the league and such. But overall he has obviously been a huge flop.

I've been pretty busy during the last 3-4 days, whats the word on transfers regarding Chelsea/Arsenal replacing their injured strikers?

Ignore fake accounts - Arsenal not in for Falcao or any other CFs. #AFC plan to go with existing options but may get CB/DMF before deadline
We will never win the league again under Wenger.

Chelsea's striker isn't actually injured (S*n gonna S*n), Arsenal (or maybe just Arsene) seem happy with Sanchez, Sanogo, Campbell and perhaps Walcott to pick up the slack

Costa is probably fit for the weekend... So Chelsea will only buy a striker if they manage to ship off Torres, which actually looks like a real possibility right now, in that case it will most likely be Destro, although names like Remy and Falcao are also mentioned... Which seems a hell lot less likely.
Arsene gonna Arsene.
