David Silva can be so shit at times. Looks out of place playing for Spain.

 

[K1LLER7]

Italy need to get the first.

 

[Fry]

These crowds really piss me off. Mass squealing whenever the ball gets near the goal. Too many kids.

Get used to it. They'll travel to see Paulinho and Bernard play everk week.

 

[KidA Seven]

Ugh Lunchbox is united-gaf.

Lunchbox is a true United bro. A necessary evil.

 

[Arnie]

The idea that United don't have any money is funny as fuck, too.

 

[Meier]

That company Wise Up that you can see on the sign boards is the one that the new owner of Orlando City founded and eventually sold. Language learning schools there in Brazil.

 

[CrashBandicoot]

Giacherrini's shot reminded me of people's first shot after accidentally turning on manual shooting

 

[Lunchbox]

10 is too much. He's 29 this year. Fair play to Everton though since they'll get double figures for him.

some moronic club paid 17 million for Glenn Johnson. so now every goober english fullback must be worth that. regardless of age, champions league experience, future value


spend spend spend then complain why your club can't compete with bigger clubs anymore

comeback fergie :'(

I heard they want to sign Kaka in 2015 on free.

£10m is too much for the best LB in the league, who has a good 3 years left in him? Don't be silly.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Eh, can't say I see it.

Presumably you wouldn't have Baines, Buttner & Evra so the later would move on. Any move would finance this deal.

You usually spend around £50m, right? Throw in a few player sales and you've got a nice kitty there.

If we buy Baines we'd sell Evra. Not sure we can get more than £5m for him though.

I'd rather us sign 2CMs and a Winger so whilst I do really rate Baines it wouldn't be a top priority right now. For me.

The idea that United don't have any money is funny as fuck, too.

Yeah because that's what I said.

 

[Peco]

Giacherrini's shot reminded me of people's first shot after accidentally turning on manual shooting

Accidentally? Manual controls or death.

 

[K1LLER7]

Not too hyped for Baines. Tbh not seen too much of him but whenever I have, he's not played all that.

 

[kharma45]

Yeah that would definitely be best for now.

Get Jones to play CB and tell Garay to sit down.

Pretty much, Jones needs to play there a lot more often this season. Even without Baines we're not badly stocked in defence at this stage. I definitely wouldn't say no to him though, he's another dead ball specialist just a pity he and RVP are both left footed.

Eh, can't say I see it.

I would imagine not. A move for Baines I would imagine would hinge on getting Evra moved on.

 

[Sleeplessnights]

Ugh Lunchbox is united-gaf.

Diversity is important, not many of us would post what he does. We need him.

 

[brokenbeans]

The idea that United don't have any money is funny as fuck, too.

Fergie was always going to step down at some point so it was a must to save a few pennies for the new gaffer to put his own touch on the squad.

Plus its the prem baby everyone got dat money.

 

[Koko]

Italy shouldn't be wasting opportunities.

 

[Wes]

I'm sorry that I keep on harping on about it but Spain are so dull to watch. Forza Italia.

 

[Meier]

I heard they want to sign Kaka in 2015 on free.

Yeah, that is the hope. The new owner has stressed his goal of adding a big name Brazilian player to help make the team even more appealing for Brazilian visitors. Hope the stadium situation can get worked out soon to allow the MLS inclusion to become official.

 

[Arnie]

Yeah because that's what I said.

You have the money to spend £15 million on Leighton Baines, and still sign your Thiagos, Strootmans, and whoever else you're linked with. So, yes, you can spend recklessly. You can spend a large amount on a superlative player in a single position.

Robin Van Persie was a reckless signing. Leighton Baines would be a reckless signing. You can afford it. You're Manchester United, not Wigan.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Fucken Gilardino. Never thought I'd miss Balotelli.

Maggio...

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Ugh Lunchbox is united-gaf.

Lunchbox says stuff so we don't have to.

 

[Brinbe]

Decent chances

 

[Tecl0n]

That was a nice run.

 

[Slizz]

Italy doing well now. Too bad Balotelli isn't there to muff the chances then score a brilliant one.

 

[Error]

Italy getting better chances, just convert one ffs.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Get used to it. They'll travel to see Paulinho and Bernard play everk week.

At Tottenham? I doubt it.

 

[Fry]

At Tottenham? I doubt it.

I'm kidding you plank

 

[Meier]

Oh my I thought that was a goal for sure. Pirlo is a god damn magician on FKs.

Oof another chance. Marchisio probably had a chance to chest that down and try and shoot with his foot.

 

[Yen]

Torres' marking there.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Another wasted opportunity. Spain's left flank looks weak as shit.

Aaand again.

 

[Wes]

#TorresMarking

 

[Arnie]

Come on Italy.

Lovely pass from the Giac.

 

[Brinbe]

lol Spain not used to this

 

[Batigol]

£10m is too much for the best LB in the league, who has a good 3 years left in him? Don't be silly.

10 is reasonable. The 15+ stuff being banded around is insane imo

 

[Peco]

All these unfinished chances are going to cost us the game in the end.

 

[K1LLER7]

If we buy Baines we'd sell Evra. Not sure we can get more than £5m for him though.

I'd rather us sign 2CMs and a Winger so whilst I do really rate Baines it wouldn't be a top priority right now. For me.

This.

Wouldn't mind us going for Di Sciglio. Looks a good player.

Marchisio volley it!!!

 

[Sleeplessnights]

Jenson Button should have scored that.

 

[Gareth Bale]

That was really poor

 

[Phanta]

WTF is Italy doing?

 

[CrashBandicoot]

Accidentally? Manual controls or death.

Why would you do this to yourself.

Oh wait, no fun allowed, I see

 

[Yurt]

That was lovely by Giak

 

[Fry]

Alba is FUCKING shit.

 

[fuenf]

god damn it Italy, Let Spain win this meaningless cup, Spain losing and making some changes prior to the WC14 is the worst possible outcome. Let's crush them in 2014 instead.

 

[Yen]

Jenson Button should have scored that.

Once I asked Yurt why he had Button as his avatar, and he replied along the lines of "haha very funny". I was being serious.

 

[Tim the Wiz]

Fabio's best games for us were often at RB, he can shadow Rafael there whilst Baines does his stuff down the left.

Didn't we just sign Varela, a new RB? I'm confident Fabio could squeeze Buttner out as back-up LB if Baines comes. And in three years time, he has every chance at cracking the first XI. His main problem is his injury record IMO.

 

[KidA Seven]

Play him Moyes.


If Baines is 10m, I would buy. Anything significantly more and I wouldn't. I would rather spend money on another cm or attacking midfielder. Evra was decent this past season anyways, much better than the 2012 season.

I would just stop giving Evra so many minutes and give Fabio a lot more playing time. Buttner can play in the reserves.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

10 is reasonable. The 15+ stuff being banded around is insane imo

I'd say £15m is about right on its own. You'd be lucky for Everton to let him go for that, there's no chance they'll get someone better, and £15m doesn't go far these days unless you do some spectacular business.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Silva won't make the World Cup starting XI.

 

[Yurt]

Four WC winners in Italy's XI..lol.
