How is it bull**** ? They may well be planning, infact Id be very very surprised if there wasnt 4-5 clubs or more looking at both of our boys and more in the squad.

He is good, well he is very goodbut yes, I think if he was tall with a blonde afro we wouldnt be getting the scholes comparison

Is that the actual steed malbranque ?

Not a fan of motorcyclists at all, if there is a bike around me I make sure I give them room to **** off. They dont seem to care how close they get to you, cut you up, overtake dangerously, undertake. Pain in the ass

Yup, normally you can rely on finding a wet patch but this certainly muddies the water

This basically, though many people tend to form their opinions to suit the masses

Obv there is a reasonably easy fix, get Valdes and Puyol to sign 1 year deals

Pretty sure they cant stop clubs selling, just stop the registration of new players. Granty raises a good point regarding Ter Stegan though

You cant really criticise the man, he was up against what is going to be european champions again TBH and arguably the best manager in world football right now. They also dropped into more of a 451 in defence and pushed back up to a more 4411 in attack with rooney in behind welbeck but as I said criticising his tactics is a bit dopey. He set the team up well TBH, Id love to have read the comments if he matched them and got a toeing

I agree regarding how far utd have fallen but realistically that was a v v good performance against what is arguably the best team in europe right now, they managed to get forward and worry Bayern and despite all of Bayerns possession it was effectively 2 long shots and a volley. Im really not sure we could have done any better, in fact I think we would have been buried by them.

Im not sure he had much of a choice did he ? Fellaini aside it was a good defensive performance

Looking very able against bayern tonight

Definately, his development of players is excellent, look at the way he has us playing, physical improvements etc and then even the increase in Lallanas awareness and decision making which IMO were lacking last year. Rodriguez seems to be becoming better at converting chances aswell. Top top coach. I think we need someone of that ilk up front imo

Thought it was the other way around. Looking at the three (bony,benteke,lukaku) I think Benteke would be my overall choice, I think Lukaku is v good but the other two havnt really had afair crack of the whip infront of decent midfields.

Really ?

Very chuffed, but these deals are always a bit of a risk. He wasnt setting the world alight at Lyon but then I dont think Bony or Benteke were overly expensive and have IMO been well worth the outlay. Basically though I think 20m over both positions (cb/st) is probably required though I imagine clearing ossie off the wage list will be a sticking point

Deppo is teh scarlett pimpernell donchaknow

Really ? He has 6 goals in his entire career ? There is no way Id play him there, infact of the four (MS,JC,VW,SD) he is the last I would play further forward.

Yeah I would be very chuffed, obviously depends on the quality of the purchase but I think we would need to sink around 20m all in plus keep the players we have interested. And I think that spending the cash to prove ambition is the way to do that. Thats not me being pessimistic, its just how I think itll play out and personally I think the noises being made represent what will be a stern leave our players alone (great news) but we wont be making extravagant signings (unfortunate).

I think this is basically it and what these announcements screamed of, its a tightrope though, if I was Lallana, shaw, morgan I would want to know ambition (commitment to spend) is there and I honestly am not sure if it is.

They could not say anything ?

Henderson is a good player. I wouldnt pay too much attention to the Comolli feat dagliesh spendathon

Cork in the advanced position ?

He will take Lambert, as good as he has been for us it may be too early for J rod.

This No surprise we went off the boil after he got his injury (though also Boruc)
