    He looks much more comfortable in himself. He's making more and more of the right decisions when on the ball these days.

    Friday, meaning we still have 5 days to balls it up.

    barcastuff ‏@barcastuff Barcelona president Rosell has written a letter to Man United to explain Cesc is not for sale and to ask them to not insist anymore. [sport]

    Don't mind that I really can't see that one happening don't think Fabregas would want the move nor can I see Barcelona be willing to sell after Thiago. Unless for some strange reason the new manager wants him out. Moyes going public with it stinks of desperation from United and Moyes, like I said earlier in the transfer window I don't think Moyes and new unfound uncertainty at United will make United as big a pull on players as they have been normally.

    Moyes especially is unknown outside of EPL and will not have many players wetting there lips wanting to work under him.



    How reliable are L'Equipe? I don't know anything about Bernard but someone posted a video were it stated his weight as 54kg I'd be fearful the better defenders in the league would just have to blow him off the ball.

    Agence France Press reporting it too. That's pretty reliable

    Walcott managing to be frustrating in a friendly. Two goals he has messed up now

    ahem :pac:

    What a pass from Zelalem though. Serious looking crop of youngsters we have coming through.

    I know its pre-season and all but Zelalem is crazy good, he will be an assist machine when he reaches the first team.

    The general consensus seems to be that he'll be a first team fixture very soon. A Wilshere/Fabregas level talent.

    I really like the look of Gnabry and Zelalem two really bright prospects for the future, might still be to soon to see much of Zelalem this season but hopefully see more of Gnabry or he gets a good loan spell.

    Agreed. Gnarby I have a fierce soft spot for as well. Looks real quality.

    What a finish from Gibbs there :)

    Zelalem is still a bit scrawny isn't he? His passing is class though.

    As the joke doing the rounds on twitter would suggest 'Arsenal are waiting for M'Vila to be finished with the treadmill' :D

    I am feeling giddy for Giroud next season. I think he will shine.

    Modric for one coped with the demands of the Premier League among others. Look at Juninho who was roughly same height and build. Brazilians tend to adapt well anyhow. Thousands of pro Brazilian footballers scattered all over the globe. This lad was a super sub for them. I really hope we do get him.

    Brazil (or South American football) not lacking in physicality either and their national team proved against Spain in the Condederations final recently that they are well able to up the ante.
