If for whatever funny reason Rafa does get the job he'll need to buy or loan a couple of midfielders given his prefered formation, Cambiasso or somebody like that maybe.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I wonder will this be a way back into the team for Fwank?
Aquilani!!!
They may as well try to get the best operator for that 50 million pound investment before giving up on it.
Without bothering to search the thread to see if it's been mentioned, or actually checking the web to see if it's a facht, but didn't Di Matteo win as much in half a year as Rafa did during his entire time at Liverpool?
Rafa can finally get his dream pairing of Keane and Barry.
Benitez must be relishing the fat payoff in 6 months time.
To be fair he puts relish on everything.
shhhhhhhhhhh.
Robbie Keane is available in January....
If Torres does start playing well now Rafa is there it's a disgrace and he should be ashamed of himself. Being crap is one thing, actually not trying is something else.
Sell Hazard 40 million
Buy Doyle 25 million
+15 million profit

Di Matteo might be gone but at least Eva Carneiro stays 
Bring Crouch in.
Then get rid of Crouch
Then get rid of Crouch
Why do you think he's not trying?
Rafa's arrival and Torres's continued poor performance will only prove he's past it i reckon.
Torres was poor before Rafa left Liverpool. As Varun said, I can't see Torres' performances improving much even if he does go there.
Maybe Roman is hoping that Rafa will somehow boost Torres' performances, giving him a potentially bigger price tag when he's moved on (and thus providing extra funds for the Falcao purchase).
Chelsea and hoofball.
he'll be out in one season.
he'll be out in one season.
.eerrr.. ok I'll buy that.
Unreal.
Hope he gets the job if only to roll out the "you're just a fat Spanish waiter" chant in the stretty
Fact

I can't stop laughing. Mate texted me earlier and I almost spewed out my coffee.
Sounness actually spoke sense there, Abrom brought him in to make torres look good so he looks good
From lots of sources:
'Chelsea set to confirm Benitez's appointment imminently.'
'Chelsea set to confirm Benitez's appointment imminently.'
This'll be fecking fantastic
Balague earlier today: "There's been no contact at all"; five minutes ago: "Rafa Benitez will be the next Chelsea manager".
Marvellous
Lampard now has a pie-eating competitor. Sweet.
This is like some sort of dream! What a wonderful gift from the football gods!
This is a glorious prospect.
Roman really is going full retard.
Benitez with millions to spend will be unbeatable unfortunately.
benitez could have them finishing out of top4 and they won't have the CL to fall back on.
that said, please take full points off city this weekend. ta
