I only saw him that one time and he was playing out of position(striker isn't his position right?) and he was still very impressive.

Can't wait til Puyol/Pique/Xavi start talking about him to the press and force him to move.

I haven't watched him much tbh, just little bits here and there. I think he's naturally a Winger/Attacking Mid. He's got the talent, hopefully Fergie gives him a chance or gets him a loan. He's progressing pretty well in the U-21 side.

He'll be our next giggs. He'll play for us even when he hits 40.

imagine a future attack with: Adnan - Messi - Deloufu. :O

Neymar sucks lol

Lol I love how Ivanovic was showing the ref how Suárez bit him.

Seriously, Suárez is the most awesome footballer in the world.

Do you have the GIF of Messi doing the calm down gesture in the PSG game? I'm sure you're the one who posted it.

I am not convinced by Neymar. He looks so good on youtube, but in the 5 or so games I've seen him he has been shit(not just average, but shit). Worse than Robinho in those games.

Gotta imagine what he will be like slotted into a great team like barca not santos or Brazil (who are trying to rebuild)

Imagine him with Barca?

Why would you do that?
 
De Gea
Rafael Smalling Varane Fabio
Pogba Daehli
Januzaj Shinji Zahallah
????

Could have been our team in the future. Instead, Pogtrayer happened, and Varane getting his dick sucked by Zidane/Liverpool moving in for Jones happened.

Agreed. Funny, he was rated the highest out of all the new young Brazilian players in the national team. Yet I'd take Oscar and Lucas Moura over him from what I've seen so far.

Ugh.

Giggs or Rooney in CM against Villa. No doubt.
I'd take Rooney at CM or the Wing. As long as Kagawa starts behind RVP.

Imagine him with Barca?

Why would you do that?
I excute them with the idea that it may be possible. Even when we know it won't ever happen ;)

How come Cleverly became 1st team and Pogba didnt?

ClevGOD had gone on loan and worked like a motherfucker. ClevGOD was older. ClevGOD didn't have a total douche of an agent. ClevGOD didn't slack and stroll like Pogtrayer reputedly did in reserve games.

It's not as big a case of "OMG so baffling why did Frogie ignore him" as people make out.

Pogba was never particularly impressive on any of the occasions I saw him, he just happened to be one of the best players in the Utd academy at the time. Morrison was far superior any time they played for the reserves.

You never really can tell with academy players, sure it was absurd that Scholes was brought back instead of giving youth a chance but then it's supremely unlikely that anyone at Utd thought that Pogba would explode the way he has.

His last season with United he was half assing the reserve games. He wanted first team opportunities by then.

TOMORROW IT IS!

Bayern. :) This is the moment this season has always been building up to... remember when the first Javi rumours surfaced in June and how we all laughed @elsk for believing that we would actually pay the 40m... :) How we wanted Robben and (for some) Gomez gone and tomorrow they could easily decide the game for us.

*excited*

Yeah, we came a long way, didn't we. Who remember how Bayerns fans were boo'ing Robben in the beginning of the season? lol. Or how nobody thought Van Buyten will have another shot in this team. So many things happened. And tmw Barca will happen! LETS DO THIS! BAAAAAAAAAAAYEEEEEEEEEEEERN!!

We're gonna win the title today!!
It looks that way. Very hard to see Aston Villa getting anything out of the game, I hope they don't. If United win they may take it easy at the Emirates next week and allow us to get a draw or sneak an Arteta penalty win!


Man I am disappointed in Man City. Was it tiredness that caused that meltdown? I know Spurs were fresh after 2 weeks but there was hardly an excuse for a top 4 side not to be able to handle schedule. Happy with Liverpool getting a point as Chelsea only have challenging games left but we still need Spurs to lose and draw 2 of their remaining games for us to be safe. The loss can come against Chelsea hopefully and either Wigan/Stoke/Southampton can hold Spurs to that draw.

Conte vs Marotta

Antonio Conte “The economic debate is inevitable when planning for the future. It’s not easy to win when keeping the purse strings tight, so at the end of the season we’ll try to make do and evaluate all the situations to plan our best future.”

Buy him players you cunt.

He better. We'll be finally free of Iaquinta this summer. Bendter gone. Anelka gone. Quaglia gone. Matri likely gone as well. We'll probably get a few millions for Melo (I'm not holding my breath). We got Llorente on a free agent. CL money. BUY, MARRY, BUY.

They were getting dicked when they tried to dribble (rather than pass) through Spurs' midfield, and those losses of possession tend to hurt. Or, rather, you notice them more - players tend to have drifted centrally towards the ball carrier and it is more of a task to set up to cope with an attack. Especially when you don't have much of a recovery plan, like Barry - who just can't handle players running past him (he grabs at them, like an asshole), and players run past him more than they should if he is a midfielder at Man City's level.

Huddlestone and Holtby were really fucking good. Defoe got a killer goal, but in a way he was the least consequential sub.

Walker - smh. Commentators were praising Hart for snuffing out that chance he had, but fuck. Walker's irrational hesitation in good positions is infuriating even if you don't care about Spurs. Time after time, he just needs to get some kind of cross in. He's not going to produce perfection, but he runs out of time to produce anything.

Gaf, has it already happen that a team went undefeated throughout a season only to finish 2nd ?

I'm talking of Porto.
 
Bears repeating: Paul Pogba has been so good in his debut season that Conte has now changed his formation to accommodate him in a midfield alongside Marchisio, Vidal, and Andrea Pirlo.
