Most definitely. I hear that's just as good.

Dredd is quality. Really hope one day they can get a sequel out that's a bit more along the timeline so we're not stuck with modern day aesthetic punctuated by futuristic elements like his Lawmaster and Lawgiver.

Orlando City are signing Rene Higuita's son, Cristian. Also signing his teammate, Carlos Rivas, both of Deportivo Cali. Feel free to get on the hype train, Pulga.

Definitely haven't seen enough to say those are successes yet.

Been half a season and they haven't even been great in that period.

Basically this. I think "success" require a player be good for a number of seasons, but to be fair Lovren has the talent to turn himself around and could end up being a good CB for us.
 
Too early to call any of them successes, but aside from Lovren, Balotelli and Lambert, they're all on the right path, and I'm not annoyed to see them on the teamsheet. Unofortunately, 2 of the definite failures play up front, which has been ruinous in Sturridge's absence.

Is Kane just a guy on form or is he legit. Haven't watched him over 90 mins to decide

Both. He's got a great shot and a quality touch. He reminds me a lot of Torres in that his finishes are no-nonsense and just quality strikes, but obviously he isn't quite as quick as Torres.

Deportivo Cali?

Whats Fredy Montero up to these days.

He was amazing in MLS and then wanted to move on so he went on loan to Sporting. They included a low buyout clause in the loan and he scored a load of goals so they took him permanently for like $2m or something nominal.

Actually, it looks like it could increase to $4.5m apparently so not too bad as far as MLS transfers go. He scored 13 goals in 16 league games for Sporting during his loan so the price was very low comparatively.

Statistically, Lovren was shite at Lyon. He played well at Saints with two or three defensive-minded midfielders in front of him. But Liverpool set themselves up more open than some kind of open-thing. I'm concerned. As a knee-jerker, I'd get rid in the summer, take the £10m hit on him.

United have 25 points from a possible 30 at home this season.

One loss at home this season compared to the four this time last year.

He's basically Skrtel at his worst. Maybe he has the mental fortitude to turn things around, but I'm not sure how long we should give him to show it.

He just makes the wrong decision again and again, and even when its the right decision, he fucks it up as he did for his booking today. Not sure Ilori can be any worse tbh

Shame as he was very good last season, and seemed to be what we were missing, but clearly not

At the same stage last year we had 12.

Lost the very first game of the season and drew against Chelsea. 8 wins in 10 is better than City's home record, I think.

Need to start winning away though.

Gimme a source hot stuff.

http://www.winnersports.co.uk/man-utd-fc-looking-at-neven-subotic-95777

I guess it's just bullshit, never heard of the source before.

Anyway, would be a great signing if he get's back in form.

Oh god.

Just flogged him for a loss on FM.

Immobile and can't concentrate.

With the proceeds I signed Rojo.

Played great the first two seasons, now he is pissed off that I'm giving Ginter some time on the pitch and wants to leave the club.
Ginter is already better though, that talent.

Thing is, 343 gives Skrtel a lot of protection and allows him to be a bit deeper than the other defenders.
Sakho is good, Can is good, Ilori is tall, good on the ball and fast (there's also Wisdom). We can ship out Skrtel and Lovren in the summer and be ok, assuming we can get one solid centre back. Solid is all I ask. Courage is solid.

Skrtel does my head in, but I don't feel comfortable when he's not there for some reason. I'd like us to offload Toure as well, and getting rid of 3 in one window is too much for me.

That Coleman thing is Palmer saying United have made enquiries into his availability, but Everton are desperate to keep him. Standard story but from a decent enough journalist.

Last night was a sweet day for me too. My custom dining table + bench finally came in after a 4 month wait, I bought a new TV, had a 4-course French meal with my girl and got engaged. Then I come home and Liverpool are winning :D

Really love the new table and bench. Came out just how I wanted.
