Already voiced where I stand on the matter. I will say it is a good thing that Memphis isn't with us, the photo of him having a cigar and a glass of cognac would have dominated the thread :P or back in the days where Barthez and LeBlanc would be having smokes after training and matches.

Adamocovic wrote: » People feeding in to criticising Luke Shaw on his holidays over some picture the Sun put out. Gas really. Most football fans complain about tabloids like them but in all honesty they get views and money from the same people who complain. I'm guilty too. Anyway, it's June. He's on his holidays. I couldn't care less what supposed "shape" he is in. If he comes back for the start of next season out of shape and lethargic then I will care. Also for those who complain about him not spending his entire break with a PT since he was not picked for England, and saying it shows his character or attitude, are we forgetting he did exactly that during the international break when the majority of players not called went on holidays during the season? Criticising José for his living situation in a hotel, Shaw for going on holidays and not looking season ready, Sterling for having a tattoo of a gun on his leg, this is football reporting now it seems, and we bloody love it.

Its far from ideal and I said before horrifically overpriced but I can't see us signing 3 more players (RW, ST & LB) so we need players who can play more than one position. Mandzukic would be a good back up ST but afaik is only LW so wouldn't help us on the RW at all

Unless that photo is a few weeks old, he's just going to pi$$ Jose off more when he rocks up next week. Having said that, I'd also doubt the Evra photo is recent going by the 10 year old Jersey he has in his hand.

Any time rashford plays well for us it.is always cutting in from the left and similar to Jessie. With Valencia more then likely been first choice then we need a proper right winger that can put in crossed and work the right side if the pitch effectively and widen out attack if we don't we will end up same.as this year with six players fighting for space in the centre of our attack and defenders playing narrow to stop is and doing it easily.

Mitch Connor wrote: » In the current squad - there are many MANY teams that would fecking love to have Martial, Rashford and Sanchez as second choices at Striker. Yes, it would mean we have to play differently to how Jose likes us booting it to lukaku but maybe that what the manager should look to do rather than spend millions on a big tall guy cause he is big.
pjohnson wrote: » Meh with the exceptions of City and Leicester most sides play with a tall leading striker. We saw how well crossing balls into Rashford went against Chelsea in the FA Cup.
I thought you were one of the people who wanted both FB's changed no?
