You're right. That Meta score over 49 critics is absolutely amazing, did not expect this tbh.
For Fernandinho, proven Champs league quality?
And Navas, like 300 games for Sevilla and has won the WC and Euros.
Don't tell me you think both of them are unproven.

Redknapp: I'll quit if board interfere over transfers
As if he's done anything to prove that he can be trusted at all to play it smart for the club in even the medium term. I wouldn't trust the twat with my lunch money if I was his chairman.
He was utter dogshite last season regardless of the position they were in when he took over.

Adkins has dropped a right bollock joining Reading imo. Should have waited til summer.

In my experience RI is the most reliable source for United news.
The people who run it are very hard headed though and tbh, just plain offensive.
But yeah they seem to be first to alot of MUFC stories. In the past people from within the club, like Froggie, would give them regular interviews and snippets of info but they've burned most of those bridges now.

Strootz is in the bag lads.

I knew this was the case but had to wait for my source to confirm it first
Not too hyped
Why? Both are quality players. Of course it means they'll either have to let a few players go to make way, or their bench is going to be even more crowded than normal.
So is the £34m for Fernandinho confirmed? That is a large number for a player that I don't necessary think City need. He did boss us over two legs of the group stage last year, but I don't know. Are they still in for Isco?

May fix the PS3 soon in preparation for The Last of Us. Is watching the demo videos worth it? Or wait for a quick look?

Wonder what the price will be.I knew this was the case but had to wait for my source to confirm it first
Not too hyped
I'm not hyped but it's much needed. He's good with potential to be great. Also he isn't a pussy which helps.
Up For some Clubs?
The In Bed With Maradona blog has a good write up on Strootman.
So hopefully he's not shit.

Price isn't confirmed, may well never be, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's near that with add-ons.
Shakthar were very reluctant to sell, not sure they would have suddenly decided to accept almost half of the release clause. Also Txixi has a record of paying whatever it takes to get the deal done so I wouldn't be surprised if he sanctioned a fee which is a little bit alarming.
I think it's a really good signing for them though, you say it's not needed but apart from Yaya their CM is very poor. Yaya himself can be a luxury player. Fernandinho will offer another option and may also spur Yaya to perform more consistently. At £30m, maybe more it's alot of money for a player of his age but purely in terms of adding somebody to the squad I think that's a really smart signing.

Can't sorry, I'll play a match against my brother then go out!
Lets hope this doesn't change. I think he'll help make our midfield solid, but I think he may be too similar to Carrick. I want a fluid midfield, one where the players are always moving and looking for space. Thiago pls.
For the fee, i'm guessing around £17M. That's the rumoured figure. What does your source say?

He won those WC and Euros as much as Valdes did. Which means he did jackshit.
@barcastuff
Barcelona look for tall, fast, and not too expesive centre back with CL experience. Valencia players Mathieu and Rami are options. [md]
Let Abidal go
Looks for player who is like Abidal.
Whoever is in charge over there is brain dead.
I think it's a luxury signing, but one that absolutely makes them better. He'll give them more options to play around with regarding shape. Barry, Milner, Rodwell and Javi are all going to have to battle for minutes.
I still think they'll sign a wide player too.

Well apparently they're going to be shipping a number of players out so I guess at least one of those you mentioned won't even be there come the start of the season.

My most hyped game along with Beyond. Ps3 exclusives ftw

Anyone watching the opening match of the U-21 Euro? It's incredible how Norway aren't winning this. They've hit the post twice, missed a couple of great chances but the game is 1-1 with Israel doing nothing to deserve it and they will be playing the whole second part with one more player after Norway's LB got a straight red.

Woodward was busy.
Just told me Strootz will come after u21's.
I hope it's not more than £17m.

I thought Lichaj was still playing at some point? Maybe I am wrong, didn't really pay attention to Villa often :lol
City have a couple kids on that Norway team. Abdi Ibrahim and Omar Elabdellaoui. I see Eyal Golasa is on Israel's squad.. he was a nice signing in FM a few years back but it doesn't look like he's made the jump yet. Nir Biton was a City trialist last summer. Pretty solid player.. looked good in a few friendlies.

So the Germans are doing less well in the formation department ? Or is the scouting of European young talents just another axis of development they are investing in?

WE SOLD BRUNO ALVES TO FENERBAHCE!!!!!!!! THANK YOU BASED GAZPROM!!!!
Also explains why the Tottenham scouts are not there as well.
Assuming Viva isn't trolling then we're signing Strootman.
Would this make a possible move for Fellaini less likely to happen? We probably won't play with three in midfield next season and you'd imagine that Fellaini or Strootman would be left on the bench coz Carrick isn't going to be dropped.

I hope we're at the tournament to scout Cheryshev. We desperately need some young players with Russian passports.
What's up guys!
YENROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT
I missed you man!
Hey Yurtnik. While you were gone, we signed ... Hey Yurtnik!
That was meant as a joke but it's actually true.
They're parked outside Melwood now in a Vauxhall Corsa.
