Yeah, but you don't have to sign a superstar player to provide defensive stability in midfield. How many goals did Holland cencede at the world cup? Their centre midfield consisted of Wijnaldum, De Guzman and De Jong. Where are the superstars there? We already have Herrera and Mata who are better than the less defensive of those three. Add in a decent defensive minded player, willing to do the role asked of him in the system we've decided to play and we'll be grand. It's about the team and how you get the most out of them amd getting them to play together as a team, not signing superstar players just to have a muppet signing.

I'm happy with good players who improve us and who are capable of doing the job we need them to do. Don't get me wrong, I'd love Vidal but I'll not lose any sleep if we don't sign him.

Good man, Nev. A rock of sense, as ever.
 
Surely we aren't paying him that much ...
It was widely reported that he was on 100k+ so yeah I can believe that and if the number wasn't true, I highly doubt Mourinho would pick such a specific amount coz he'd be starting a serious shit storm. That's beyond obscene for a 19 year old fullback, I do wonder how Woodward negotiates sometimes.
 
The muppet in me has died. I just want to watch United play good football now. With or without any extra new signings. Ive convinced myself that winning the league with this squad will give me greater satisfaction and cause even greater dissatisfaction amongst the pool/city fans.
 
Arsenal would be smart to move for Benzema if Falcao really makes the move to Real! Might cost them a lot but he'd be miles better than the players they are looking at presently
 


Real are clearly telling Platini to take FFP and stuff it up his ***

Loan out Falcao? I'm guessing that the option to buy isn't optional because if it is, that's insane. They need another striker given that they've lost Morata now. If they add a top class defender or two then they will have a squad that rivals any squad in the last 10 years but knowing Perez and his obsession with only buying big name attackers who are marketable, I highly doubt he'll splash the cash on their defence.
 
Jaysus, the way Southampton's squad is being ripped asunder would nearly encourage smaller sides to not over do it in the league.

"You're doing great lads but we need to lose a couple games here and there, otherwise you'll all be fecking off."
 
-----------Falcao
Ronaldo---James----Bale
----kroos------Modric

Feck me.
Still won't win the League. I really thought they had it right with Bale, Ronaldo, Di Maria and Benzema (although they didn't win the league then still). Now they have totally ruined it by putting in a load of superstars and selling players who don't need to be like Di Maria. I bet any money they don't win the League or CL this year.

That team could play with a dwarf in goal and still win more than it would lose.
 
Unless Chambers is getting loaned back I don't see the point in him leaving. He'll only be back up to Debuchy.

Not against a top team with a proper game plan it wouldn't. Their defence is their weak point and a second striker was required too, they might fix the latter if benzema doesn't leave but the former problem is one that Perez won't care about.
 
How's yer arse Nev? Surely must be tender after that post?!

Trying to find the ass-kiss smiley, but it doesnt seem to be here.. :smirk:

I feel it's important to mark a sensible post in the transfer forum. If you ever make one, I'll be similarly fulsome in my praise.
 
Does anyone honestly believe Shaw is on 120kpw?, i just can't see how ANY club would pay an 18yo that much money, even an 18yo Messi.

Young player, will play as backup RB.. Actually a smart buy from them and a good move for Chambers too.. Arsenal lost Sagna, and I think Jenkinson is on his way out too
 
Yes, journos being told everything from "Vidal agreement reached" to "Ronaldinho considering breast implants" from their supposed "sources".

They know absolutely feck all and are doing nothing but guessing, hoping for a win so they can claim "credibility" the next time they spout their bollocks, knowing full well that desperate muppets like ourselves will easily forget and forgive so long as they say the things we want to hear next time.

I fecking hate journalists.

Good for Arsenal but surely it would be better for Chambers to be playing regular first team football.

I reckon they will win La Liga but no team can break that back to back CL hoodoo so I agree with you on that one.
Barcelona to me seem to be in transition and Atletico won't win it again IMO. My money is firmly on Real, with Falcao or not.
