We can only dream....
No, just a compassionate human being.You a S'ton fan?
Yeah those 45 min cameo's were the best i ever seen. They single-handedly won us the Captain America Trophy that year..
It will be a ridiculous sight to behold, akin to watching that insane Galacticos team in the early noughties. Mind you they didn't win much!
That being said, Ancelotti is an able manager and he's probably the only guy out there who can fit all the pieces to the puzzle. El Clasico will be a muppet's dream to watch eh?
FIFA 15 is going to be a lot of fun isn't it??Not bad!
Smooth.
Sooooooooo, anyone seen him play?
Is there a reason Monaco are bending over for Real when they have an oil baron owner?
I don't rate Debuchy....but imo Chambers has even more potential as Shaw
Chambers will be Arsenal's RB at the end of the season!!!!!
Potassium baron, and ffp.
Also, I don't think Falcao is too happy at Monaco anyway.

They have no players soon
They have no players soon
Arturo Vidal at no time has said that it won't be Manchester United and only said that next week will define its future
What i said was - "This other policy of only goin for players who really want to play for the club is as brain-dead also. Most great players will fall in love with the club once they're here.."
It is a brain-dead attitude to think players only come to a club because of the club. They come for lots of reasons & money has become a major driving force these days. Players choose clubs with no history over clubs rich in history. City & PSG have only won 4 league titles each - yet the players that go there really want to play for the club??
How many players would have joined City, PSG, Chelsea, Monaco & all the other oil-rich clubs in Russia etc. if they didnt have money to spunk on their wages. Some of these clubs could have paid the transfer fee's, but no way could afford to pay their wages - which would have been the swayer in them choosing that club over another.
How many top players move to Serie A now? That bubble has burst many years ago, but many of those clubs are icons of the game - they just dont have the financial power that the aforementioned clubs have now. Thats not right, but its the reality of the new-money club draw.
United makes a shit load of dosh & we've lost out on so many players because we wouldnt compete with these new money clubs.
Well, after last season, we need to put our money where our mouth is & start competing for the best players around. We cant expect every player to have a hard-on for United, but after a while they sure will, because the fans will make them feel adored if the players put their heart & soul into it on the pitch..
There isn't really a thread to put this in is there?
Looks pretty cool!
Looks pretty cool!
Well said..
You know the feeling of having made a very unlikely bet which materializes and wanting to cash out before the superior team turns around the score. I think their owner feels that way right now, he's getting the most out of what happened last season in terms of money he can get out of the players.
Well obviously they go to those clubs because they want to go there and olay for them. That isn't what you said though. Nobody goes to a club they don't want to play for.
But anyway, I'd much rather sign a player who has a desire to sign for the club than someone just picking whoever pays the highest wage.
Looking at whoscored.com if Fonte and the other rumoured departures leave, they will be losing their 7 best players. (Shaw, Adam, Lambert all gone, Fonte, Rodriguez, Lovren and Schneiderlin sound ready to leave).
Yep and lets not forget their manager also left
I'm still thinking....
Seriously man - you'll give yourself a tumor trying to work that shit out. You've more chance of figuring out James Joyce' "Ulysses"..
Proof twitter can be an absolute chasm of horse manure.......
Someone posted a rumour that Arsenal have been put off by Schneiderlin's price quoted by Southampton, so they're going to "explore" signing Pogba instead.
Pogba is now trending on twitter because of it.
Unless Southampton want about £50m for Schneiderlin, how does that even make sense?
Alternate scenario that makes equal sense (made up by me obviously): "Arsenal have been put off by the price of £35m quoted for Banzema, so they have turned their attention to Messi who has a buyout clause of £125m"

If fee is agreed and medical is passed, then what else is there to do? Surely for a teenager the wages shouldnt be a problem?
Southampton seem incapable of preventing any of their players from leaving this summer. The floodgates really have been opened there after Pochettino left for Spurs.
Also can't quite understand why they're selling Chambers NOW. Sure, it's a more than decent fee for a still unpoven youngster who may or may not fulfil his potential, but they should have made some statement and refused to sell him, at least until next summer, when he'd probably cost more than the fee they're receiving from Arsenal right now. He's got the potential to cost as much as Shaw and this move doesn't make much sense. Doubt Chambers has forced the move either.
Even if he has expressed a desire to leave, he could have been convinced by Koeman to stay another season with them so that the other Southampton players heavily linked with a move away (Schneiderling and Jay Rodriguez mostly, Lovren is a goner) could at least be open to the idea of staying at the club, because of the club showing some ambition with keeping Chambers. Now they'll probably be even more convinced to switch clubs and once a player wants to leave, there's so much his club can do about it.
The remaining key Soton first team players are just using the moment to leave for more ambitious clubs. With their squad being torn apart, they know that next season will be a huge struggle and the team is unlikely to qualify for Europe.
Can't be easy being a Soton fan right now - a new manager with an almost entirely new starting eleven by the time the transfer window ends. They can't just replace the squad harmony that Pochettino had built with all those departing players in the dressing room. They made an impression and established themselves as one of the progressing teams in the Premier League - a breath of fresh air in the last couple of seasons. A team not afraid to trust a young player to get the job done in the most difficult and demanding league in the world. They'll still promote their young talents and implement them into the first team, but it won't be the same really. Koeman is nothing special as a manager and I seriously doubt that he would be able to forsee such dramatic transition in the club.

I've never read it but I would even take on the Braille edition if it meant I would never have to witness Tom playing for us again.
Why do people think the Vidal transfer is out of the question now? I thought he said 'No, no, no' in a joking manner when he was asked whether he was going to United. What else would he have said?
Saints going marching down.
I really feel for the Saints. They were a breadth of fresh air these past two seasons. Their first team is just ripped apart. Lambert, Lallana, Shaw, Lovren and now with Chambers and Morgan Schneiderlein. Im really surprised no has come in for Victor Wanyama yet.
We should bid for Ward-Prowse and be done with it.
I hear Arsenal and Liverpool are now battling it out over the signing of Southamptons kit man.
Absolute nonsense. Why would any top-class player want to play for a team in the likes of Qatar or Kazakhstan etc.?
Why did Aguero, Yaya & Kompany etc. join City; Thiago Silva, Ibrahimovic etc. join PSG, or why did Falcao, Rodriguez & Moutinho join Monaco - when they all had their pick of the best clubs around?
Those are just a few examples & i'm pretty sure you can think of many more.
Not every player is like Herrera - where he really wanted to come here. Some players need a swayer, because so many clubs are on a level-playing field in terms of winning domestic league titles & Champions Leagues now.
United dont have the pulling power like Barca & Real have (for various reasons), but we sure as hell have the money as a sweetner & its about time we used that swayer..
Victor Wanyama?
No thanks
