Breaking story in spain.... Iker muniain and David de gea involved in potential rape case. If iker Casillas starts in opening match we will know why.

Here's link in Spanish, daily mirror will also break the news

http://m.eldiario.es/politica/Gea-Mu...524948592.html

Sounds like De Gea set up the meetings for Isco and Muniain rather than 'participating' himself, but it still looks very bad.

Does Perez fancy swapping Navas now?
 
If it was City that signed him or Zaha and they flopped so terribly, it would have been a case of City ruining football.

Some young players were given a chance but didn't have the right attitude to succeed at the club, I fail to see how that is on United.

How's Patrick Roberts doing, again?

Some shit is going down in Spain. David de Gea, Iker Muniain, Javi Martinez and Isco are apparently all being implicated.. seems more names keep coming out. Someone translated the story from El Diario here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/4ng2qt/munian_and_de_gea_implicated_in_torbes_case/d43maed

A protected witness of the investigation against the pornography businessman Torbe - Ignacio Allende Fernández, in jail since last April for his crimes of human trafficking with sexual exploitation purposes, sexual aggression, under-age pornography, relate to prostitution extortion, and against public safety, including money laundering and against the Public Treasury – has implicated two international football players in the case: David de Gea, currently Manchester United goalkeeper, and Iker Muniain, striker for Athletic de Bilbao.

I don't necessarily see how it is either, it's just how it would have been framed if City had been the club involved and not Utd.

Roberts is on an 18 month loan at Celtic. Had a great start with them in the past few months -- scored some absolute bangers. He's skipping the U-19 Euros this summer to play in Celtic's UCL qualifiers.

Utd have a history of bringing through and buying youth and giving them a chance, City do not have that same level of history so the reporting of those kind of stories are going to be different. Especially when those youngsters don't do themselves any favours at the club like Zaha and Powell did.

I saw Roberts in the flesh against Palace in the Capital One Cup. He doesn't look at an inch over 5 foot and looks like he weighs 7 stone wet in a monsoon. If he makes it in the Premier League i'll be amazed.

I remember when Nick Powell was going to be the next big thing.

He's just been released by Man United, as has Victor Valdes.
Man U have a habit of letting youth go who turn out to be decent. Simpson… Drinkwater… Cleverley… Welbeck… Cathcart…Gibson… Rossi… Pique… Pogba… etc. etc.
 
Have you got that Torres laughing one still? Cracks me up.

Lorient's director of sports just confirmed Guerreiro is all but done. Expected to be announced in the next few hours.

Also, Orel Mangala is joining our U19 from Anderlecht.

All these signings

Skip the Euro and let's start the new season, I'm HOT

I'm now doing matched betting while bored at work. £50 up in 30 hours so far.

Our "fans" are showing themselves up in France apparently

Hopefully the daft cunts all get locked up or shipped home.

I have to say thst on the day at games and on the way to and from them, rugby fans are a much nicer bunch of people. Only got into it a couple of years ago as the missus loves it.

Why does he wear the mask!?
