Its obvious how this Lewandowski deal is going to pan out on here
Yeah but he rarely has those days. He's an overpaid prima donna who thinks he is as good as Ronaldo and whilst he has ability doesn't have the mental resolve to make it at United.

My problem with selling Nani is that even on his shit days he's better than Valencia and Young currently are.
Toure has more skill but Toure just goes missing in games and other times seems to not give a fuck but Fellaini seems much more consistent and is a bully to defenders and midfielders. He has such raw strength that he can bulldoze himself to goals.
I would LOVE Fellaini at Arsenal but it will never happen because Wenger prefers technical players and Fellaini's stength is his brute power.

Exactly. Toure at his best is possibly the best midfielder in the world. He's only anywhere near his best like 5 times a season though. Fellaini is a constant 7-8/10 player, Toure fluctuates between 10 and 1, averaging 6 imo
Fellaini is a good player but if United sign him then he'd be used differently than he is at Everton.
We'd use him as a defensive midfielder to break up attacks rather then being the focal point of attack like he was at Everton. And I have some doubts about Fellaini as a defensive midfielder.

The amount of yellows he'd get is one.

Don't worry about it, none of his fouls will be called up. He had the Midas Touch at Everton in terms of getting away with constant fouls and elbows, he'll get even luckier at United.
I'm pretty sure Moyes will allow him to push forward. I'm really interested to see what kind of tinkering Moyes does with the formations at United because it's unlikely he'll manage the same way Fergie did or play the same way Fergie did.
I mean if Everton had a compentent goal scorer they'd be in the top 4. They had Mirallas always injured and Jelavic lost his scoring shoes. This caused them to draw too many games.

Assuming Moyes sets the team up similarly to his Everton team, absolutely
I hope Fiorentina screw you guys over and sell him to Chelsea. At least he'll be in the PL that way.
Well Cesc is not coming, Thiago unlkely so he probably will come. Who else would you target? *insert Dortmund player joke*
Idk. Fergie isn't the manager anymore and we have no idea what kind of line Moyes is going to take when it comes to player recruitment.
And you'll be crying when Cesc signs for us.
I would love this to laugh at the salty GAF tears.

Its beyond the realms of possibility though. Naughty Dog are fully owned by Sony
Way to bring it back to reality <.<
Huh? Aren't Naughty Dog owned by Sony? Unless I have it wrong all this time.
Thought so.

Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
I was waiting for this, I was worried that the Gold Tie forgot everything about it, now I can calm down.

Fellaini's original position was a defensive midfielder though (standard liege and originally at everton). He was quite good at it, he only became an offensive player when everton was plagued by injuries. But i guess because he was pretty good at it they kept him at an offensive postion....

Valdes :lol
Unlucky Barca.

Maybe Valdes will extend? You can raid Arsenal for Szczesny for goal keeper and Vermaelen for defence.
I don't think Chelsea have any serious interest in him at the moment.
Don't give me bad news.
Honestly a dream deal would be Jack Wilshere to Chelsea with Thibaut Courtois coming to Arsenal. That would be fantastic.
You've given up on Wilshere already?
And wouldn't it be good news for Arsenal if Chelsea don't get involved with their transfer targets?
I think Wilshere will be a very good player but he is overhyped to fuck at the moment. Judging by the media you'd think he was our most important player last season when it reality it was Walcott and Cazorla by far. And I want a competent young goal keeper badly. Wilshere will never be a creative force and I just like Aaron Ramsey.
And yeah it is better if you stay away from our targets but Jovetic is a special case since if you don't take him he will go to Juventus and the EPL dips out which will suck. Stuff the Serie A, I want the best players in the EPL where I can watch them every week.
You've surpassed your previous levels of DC'ing.
Seriously though, we'll see at E3, MS currently in damage control.
Maybe MS are like Nintendo. Panic mode is where they perform best!

I haven't been following the transfer gossip lately, but does this Fabregas story to Man Utd have any basis in it at all rather than speculation surrounding his future and Utd needing a midfielder? If Cesc became available, it'd be odd as to why Arsenal would ignore the opportunity to re-sign him, much less him joining Man Utd of all people; the required level of betrayal is simply beyond his character.
