Manchester United, that didn't last long. Seven up

[nirvana]

Pretty miserable that Arsenal didn't really get going in the game. Man U showed their appetite for big games I guess but I thought they looked like a slower, longer ball less incisive version of Everton

[malt vinegar]

Who would we wanna see in a united shirt in jan?


Obv has to be realistic

Watching pogba vids recently it's a shame we didn't keep hold of him

linked with a couple of dortmund players today with kagawa goin back - give that a go

seems to have gone quiet on the spanish players we were shambling after on deadline day

fellini could do with pulling his finger out hes been a disaster so far - needs a wrist op aswell they are holding off on should just have it done now hes staking up valuable space on the bench

Not been here for ages, but couldn't resist closing this old debate.

David De Gea. world class.


Admittedly the rest is pretty depressing for us Mancs.

THE FORTY BEST PLAYERS ON THE CONTINENT (ACCORDING TO UEFA)

GOALKEEPERS - Petr Cech, Thibaut Courtois, David de Gea, Manuel Neuer

DEFENDERS - David Alaba, Giorgio Chiellini, Dante, Mats Hummels, Branislav Ivanovic, Philipp Lahm, Stephan Lichtsteiner, Filipe Luis, Vincent Kompany, Gerard Pique, Sergio Ramos, Thiago Silva

MIDFIELDERS - Gareth Bale, Ilkay Gundogan, Isco, Paul Pogba, Mesut Ozil, Menaja Matic, Blaise Matuidi, Marco Reus, Franck Ribery, Arjen Robben, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Yaya Toure

Can't say it doesn't seem right that there aren't any United outfield players in those lists.

I take it Van Persie makes the list of strikers though?

[Ant040689]

Wait, hold on, I can't see Danny Gabbidon.

[TL900]

Lloris > De Gea

Maybe Mignolet too

[Ant040689]

Lloris > De Gea

Maybe Mignolet too

Thought De Gea was poor for Oviedo's goal but normally he is great and has improved a lot from last season. I think Lloris is the best keeper in the prem, as his command of the area adds so much to Tottenham's defence.

Any truth in RVP rumour?

No.

Any truth in RVP rumour?

Seems fair enough that he wants to leave. He wants to win trophies & now that's not going to happen for a while it's understandable he wants out.

"If you look back to when Fergie was there the first two years of his reign were horrible but you have to give managers time"

Not sure I agree with this view.  Fergie was given 3/4 years because when he came in to take over an aging Man Utd team with a drink culture who hadn't won the league for 15 years.

Moyes has a squad which won the league last year and has added Fellaini. 

I think these are hugely different situations and Moyes saying he needs to add players to be competitive is laughable in my opinion.  I'm not saying he needs to win the league, but taking the champs to 4th spot (if that is what happens) is abject failure. 

I'm not a Man Utd fan by the way.
 

Fergie also got time, I'd think, because he had already had quite a lot of success as a manager. David Moyes hasn't. At the time he was appointed I kind of admired Man U for going for someone like him but I thought/hoped it was a terrible choice. We'll all get to see I guess

Moyes is breaking records all over the shop these days. Gotta chortle - shirley he cannae last there ?

Heard RVP looking to move to Arsenal, said he want to move to a team that can win trophies.
