A bit late but I'm not sure that selling de Gea is such a bad idea. That is if Fergie is smart enough to sign Rene Adler then. HSV fans won't like it but Adler is a huge United fan and I can't see him resisting a good United offer. De Gea has all the talent but Adler has already all the class and another good 8 years in him.

Reminds me of the Bayern situation a couple of years ago, there'll always be scrutiny with a young GK.

Paul Getty (the billionaire) bought the (British) Hulton Archive decades back (Stephen Poliakoff made the excellent television drama Shooting the Past about this acquisition) and a bunch of other image archives. That kicked off a business his son Mark has continued and expanded.

Just immense foresight and financial muscle on Paul's part, really. He picked up (and in some cases, rescued) a bunch of tremendously large and diverse photographic archives and once they managed to resolve all that material into a business model, it was always going to be a winner.

Perfect gif usage, bravo.

Well, it gives me hope that Juventus are interested, because Conte's solid in the transfer market.

@LiverpoolGAF

Quotes are from yesterday, and contradict what Ballague believes, in that Coutinho has told a senior Liverpool player that he's receptive to a move. What's also worth noting is clubs rarely go and bid serious money for a player unless they're fairly certain that they'll join, to save face.

What's also worth noting, and it's something that Salazar would rightly point out, Ballague's been known to talk out of his anus. I like the guy, and his knowledge of Spain is, again, solid, but we could be barking up the wrong tree with this one.


Gym was good. Body feels torn at the moment, swam 10 lengths, too, which is all my dwarfy, thick shaped body can handle. Sauna and steam room was naughty, though. Sat there brooding in a sweaty daze for what felt like hours.

My god he's naff

People ask me whether I am now finished with management. You can never say never. I have been offered four or five jobs since I left Newcastle in such terrible circumstances but none was right for me.

The only way I would come back is if I could see myself as part of the vision, which is far more important than financial reasons.

Newcastle was a pull to me. I’d played there and my father came from there.
It’s got to be something more than money. But I’ve listened to the job offers and thought that the dreams I was being sold could not match reality..

[Vivalaraza]

Individually I don't see many errors coming from De Gea and he seems to make some fantastic saves every match, but I feel like every time United have dropped points this season, De Gea's dodginess has been front and center for everyone to see. He seems to have chronic miscommunication issues with the defense, with defenders coming in for balls that should be his, or flapping at crosses that he should be leaving to his defenders.

I agree with those of you saying that when you take on a project player, you can't just put them out to pasture when they make mistakes. Ultimately it's because of this that I think Fraugson won't give up on De Gea just yet.

|OT12| Fuck Bayer?

Not really though.

- The loss to Everton on the first day was basically Fellaini bullying us. De Gea kept that game at 1-0.
- Loss to Spurs he could do nothing about.
- Loss to Norwich the same.
- Draw at Swansea wasnt his mistake either.
- Draw at Spurs, makes a mistake for their goal, fair enough.

I agree he does need to improve and we can't pretend he is free of faults, there are games when he has been shaky (Newcastle away) where we won - but the dropped points have not been his fault.

Fuck Bayern.

And De Gea isn't so bad. It is frustrating to see him repeat mistakes (i.e. his parrying shots into strikers' paths or unconvincing punching) but overall he has been good and he is really sodding young for a keeper. Things will get better if we persist.

At least it'll suppress Kyoufu's whinging, temporarily, like a dummy.

Times has a bunch of Ferguson quotes directed at officials, and whilst the majority are just classic Ferguson, and wholly out of order, one's too fucking funny for me to be at all arsed:

'Herbert Fandel incurred Ferguson's wrath when he supposedly allowed Porto to get away with gamesmanship against United in a Champions League tie in 2003, and then sent off Paul Scholes four years later against Roma. When the manager heard Fandel was due to referee United again, he said: "Have we got a supply of Mogadon?"

loooool

Tremmel? He's a back up keeper and I think it's mostly that Swansea's defense has been good about restricting the quality of chances. Their No 1 is a formerly unremarkable Dutch keeper who became the standout keeper of the year last season.

That said Tremmel really has been quite good
