We can forget about top 4 next season if Antonio Valencia is going to be playing in CM. He's one of the most technically limited players I have ever seen in a united jersey.

This summer more than ever before, we needed to get in proper players, and to get them in early. It's looking likely now that we will have to do our business post WC, which is an overpriced and overhyped free-for-all.

The club is becoming a joke.

He's not going to play CM for us. Some people were merely trying to show that he has played there before.

As for the last line, that's daft but you're entitled to your opinion.

He doesn't, he has 100% definitely played CM for Ecuador a good few times 100%

Stop being so adamant when you're so blatantly wrong.

Oh, actually, you're the Reus in CM guy aren't you? bit of a blind spot for that position, clearly.

So I sent a tweet to Tim Vickery, to ask had Valencia played Center Midfield for Ecuador and he just replied to me that its were he started in his career!

I don't believe he would play there for us. But the fact that people are even talking about it shows how bad things have gotten.

Every club is/should be based on what happens on the field, and the success achieved on the field. I say our club is becoming a joke, because the business side seems to be all important these days, and ensuring success on the field appears to have taken a back seat.

Liverpool had a very successful season and appear to be strengthening already. We had a nightmare season and we're dancing to Southampton's tune over a 19 defender - who could still be picked from our pocket by cash rich Chelsea.

Jaysus lads I just made the suggestion LVG could try him there. Chances of that actually happening are highly unlikely.

But but but but Bangkok......he said he never did

Ferguson -

“There’s a natural instinct in him to help out and defend” “Of course, we know all about Antonio’s qualities as an attacker, but he’s so quick and so powerful that he’s also suited to a full-back role. He’s incredibly difficult to beat if you’re trying to get around him. We also see him as an option in the centre of midfield. He’s very disciplined and able to carry out any instruction we give him.”

Not that he ever used him there! I did watch the firs 20 mins of the Holland v Ecuador game a couple of weeks ago and he was suprisingly impressive.

Van Gaal is in for some shock when he sees how bad Center Midfield is, I wonder has Robin given him a heads up!:eek:

Chelsea won't pick our pockets, the most reliable journos agree we're the only club to actually lodge a bid for the guy so far, he's also told City he's wants to play for us when they made enquiries (allegedly!) We only need to agree a fee and that will be done. I'm sure other deals are being done in the background, not just of the potato snack variety either.

I reckon they converse in Dutch. :P

"Louis, ze kunnen gewoon niet voorwaartse pass de bal. Ik begrijp niet waarom ze zo stront. Ze zijn allemaal oud-kampioenen. Waanzin!"

And if we need an interpreter next year we could always hire Steve McClaren...

This one is so much worse. It actually makes my stomach hurt.

Just reading about the Bundeliga there, I'd love English clubs to wear stars on their jerseys to represent their title wins like Italy and Germany, I think it would be cool!

United's jersey would have to be made out of stars then.

It would be cool to have two stars to represent the 20 titles, 10 each, that's what Bayern have, they only brought it in, in 2010!

13 more Premier Leagues tbh.

Lucas Hood · 30-05-2014 04:28PM

Don't they get a star on the jerseys for every ten titles they win ? So we'd only have 2

Well that could be cool. United, Liverpool and Arsenal would be the only teams to have them, and only United would have two. Do it!

Sure we'd look more like the American flag than a football team.

Why do City have three stars does anyone know? I know some clubs have stars to represent league titles, and others European cups, but what's City's rationale?

League titles if not mistaken

Number of times they've beaten United by a 5 goal margin. :pac:

Vic Vinegar · 30-05-2014 04:48PM

Luke Shaw deal could be wrapped up by Monday according to several sources.

Schweinsteiger could be moving too, Pep will allow him to leave apparently. Isn't Bastian a United fan? think i heard that somewhere, could be mistaken.

Lucas Hood · 30-05-2014 04:50PM

The stars above citys crest are there for decoration.
" The three stars above the eagle constitute a design element that relate a more continental feel to the design."

Explained before that the stars are the biggest load of ****e ever.

Were introduced to denote world cup victories ...and then everyone started putting them on their crest to denote league titles and in some cases even domestic cup victories.

They should be on national jerseys for WC wins and club teams for champions league wins.

Be good if it was uniformed but instead its just a random crock of ****.
