Not sure I would want to bring back a forward who scored one goal in his last 6 months with us. Maybe we should pair him with Negrado.

I think what gives clubs pause about Mario is not just his poor goal scoring record but the danger that his attitude in training and around the place generally might damage team morale.

United now saying they're not fussed by the snub and won't go for an alternative centre back. Spin!

Has it been spin that they would be signing him? They have a history of penny pinching under the Glazers. They must flinch with every penny spent.
Without a top class defender and marque striker then they have had a poor summer. Rooney, a kid, plus a striker they can't get rid of, not a title winning formula.
City and sniffing knickers.
Come on Blues.

Yes, their back four was a big problem last season, but their biggest weakness was their abysmal midfield (hence the long balls on Fellatio). And that weakness they have addressed by bringing Schneiderlin and Pigfucker in. I think they have done fairly well this transfer window.

I think they've done great. One top class CB and they'd have been nearly perfect. We need a couple more in to compete for the title legit I think. We still could for sure but we need some more freshening up.

They need another striker to back up Rooney and a centre back.

The Mirror reporting we're nervous about Chelsea's pursuit of Stones and may leap in if Mourinho looks like getting him. Would prefer to wait another season though. I don't know what we'd do with Mangala then tbh. Not sure I buy the story.

I don't like him as a player, never did, absolute waste of a shirt 99% of the time. But he was kinda worth it just for this

Thanks for sharing, brings back memories !!

Balotelli is like a old gf, you know why you broke up but you still want her.

Can we sign him for NYCFC ? I would start watching his matches if he signs there, him going to 3rd division Italian league will be such a waste. He would bring so much press, good/bad publicity NYCFC will always be in the news week in week out.

Paul Pogba may have to use the courts to force a move, a story on French TV. His image rights are run by his close friend, who with the agent are happy for him to move, RM and Barca both expect to sign him with us and PSG outsiders.

De Gea played poorly in the scum's 2-0 defeat to PSG last night. Afterwards van Gaal said 'Maybe he wants to go'. It's always difficult to hang on to unhappy players. Still possible he'll leave this season.

Halb Europa jagt Deutschlands "Fußballer des Jahres", angeblich soll Manchester City ein 80-Millionen-Euro-Angebot für Kevin De Bruyne vorbereiten. Der Belgier gibt kein klares Bekenntnis zum VfL Wolfsburg ab. "Ich denke, dass ist etwas für die Klubs", meinte De Bruyne. Die Schmerzgrenze der Wolfsburger ist definitiv hoch. Wenn ein Angebot in einer "außerordentlichen Größenordnung" eintreffen würde, müsse man abwägen, was ein Abgang des Offensivstars für das Team bedeuten würde, meinte Geschäftsführer Klaus Allofs. Klar ist nur: De Bruynes VfL-Kollegen wollen, dass er bleibt.


It seems he's willing to move, perhaps he's always has been, but something is likely going down. Whether it's with us or with someone else, we'll see I guess. Yeah this is vague but it's more concrete than a youtube-video.
"I used to be 6 foot 2 with curly hair, look what it's done to me"

"In my career so far it's the most important goal. You score the goal in the last minute to win the title. You're not sure if that's ever going to happen in your career again. I wish I could tell you how I did it but I can't. I thought for all the world that Mario was going to have a go himself but he just moved it on one more and it fell at my feet and I just thought: 'Hit the target, hit it as hard as you can and hit the target.' And it went in."
