    Yaya is only doing a Rooney to get a better contract after a great year. Those Arabs will give him anything.

    Everything dimitry said is true . He speaks for me . I will give an interview after world cup to explain

    G'wan woody throw a bid in for auld Yaya..I'll bake him a cake.

    yaya knows Barcelona are lacking a midfielder of his stature, size etc and he is working a way to go back there.... barca also know they may need to sell one of fabregas sanchez pedro to fund one of many moves they will be making. would be great to see yaya go back to barca and cesc to come to Manchester UTD

    I'd be off the contraversial opinion that Carrick is now surplus to requirements.

    No, even if we sign Vidal, Kroos & Fabregas, he'd be needed as backup.

    We can't replace half the team (potentially 5 1st team players coming) and not keep some experience/ backup like Carrick for a season.

    I don't think he's an influential a figure as people make out. No one knows what happens behind closed doors, but I can't imagine he gives out or gets lippy with anyone, and I doubt he inspires any fire in the belly sort of stuff. Seems a very bland, boring individual.

    Hasn't really transfered that "experience" onto the pitch or the team this year. Has looked ruffled and flustered plenty this season past.

    I might be misunderstanding you, but Van Persie is only 4 months older than Robben and was signed two years ago, so he was 1.5 years younger?

    Fair enough on the age thing.

    The fact he is contract though till 2017, his team don't want rid of him and he is a top player means we would have to pay big anyway. 30m to me would be about right.

    There's a video of the club presenting a birthday cake to Toure and sang happy birthday. He didn't even take off his headphones or look up from his laptop. They used social media to wish him happy birthday.
    What the f**k does he want? He's a 31yo not a f**king 10 year old.

    He's always moaning about something.

    March 2013 YAYA TOURE’S decision to quit Manchester City has nothing to do with money. It is about principle
    May 2012 City shocker as Yaya's agents invites offers from Barcelona, Chelsea and Bayern

    Hopefully City don't pamper the f**ker any more because of it.
    He's making a bit of an effort to get back to Barcelona. If they don't take him he won't go anywhere.

    Used to always hate Robben over the years but saw a load of interviews with him randomly over the last two or three years and he actually comes across as an extremely likable, jocular, jovial chap.

    There's an ongoing argument in my gaff over who we'd like to go on the piss with and Robben is close to the top of the list of soccer players!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,134 ✭✭✭✭Rayne Wooney


    If we got Robben cheap it would be a masterstroke, himself and Ribery are still pretty much in a league of their own when it comes to wingers and he still has a few years left I'd say

    just took a look at that Giggs thread, good grief talk about bitterness and vile in one thread.

    Yeah, can never figure out which I think is worse; people who are obviously looking for a reaction or the people who dedicate quite a bit of time falling for their tricks..

    This is the reson I rarely post on the soccer forum. A few bad eggs ruin it for me. I still follow it but id rather talk about soccer in other forums off topic threads than here.

    Whether its trolls, bitter rival fans or just argumentative type posters, the soccer forum isnt a place i like to have discussions.

    God above but Mata is an absolute class act altogether, so glad we got him.

    next year he'll have his fingerprints all over the success of this team

    I like to think Mata spent an hour this morning on photoshop creating that graphic :P

    Such a refreshing attitude he has. I thoroughly enjoy his blog posts also.

    Im not going to waste time looking at the giggs thread but could someone give me a rough idea as to what has been said. Im guessing stuff relating to his personal life

    that's exactly it, had a brief look through... wouldn't even bother writing anything.

    Looking forward to hopefully a few world class signing coming in. It will be exciting over the summer with the transfer speculation on who is coming in and leaving.
    I'm happy with LVG and RG taking the club forward. For me Champions League qualification, a good run in the FA and League Cups plus one or two younger players coming thru is realistic.

    Was more encapsulated by the above with how many stars we have had in that time, my word
