    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!

    i read that United requested to do this with the PL badge, but it needed agreement from all the other PL sides. Liverpool blocked it.

    Did I see someone say they have never seen Koke play? Champions League final? Semi-final against Chelsea? La Liga run in? How do you avoid watching Atletico Madrid this year?

    As for his quality, he's a key player in a team that won La Liga and were 30 seconds from winning the CL. He's 22 and is seen as the natural successor to Xavi in the Spanish team. In a window where David Luiz is worth €50m, Koke is worth €60. But he wouldn't want to come to us even if we have Champions League football, and there is no chance he will come without it.

    I would love Koke, great for a 4-3-3 formation.

    Only 22 years old and a star that is only rising.

    Koke agrees with you;
    "I’ve got a long-term contract with Atleti. I’m happy, this is my home. I’m proud that other clubs are interested, but I’m happy and this is my home and where I want to be for now. Now it’s time for the World Cup and I want to be in the squad. That’s all I’m thinking about, for me that comes first. At the moment I feel I’m an Atleti player, there is a World Cup coming up and I’m not thinking about the future, just the present."

    That was me.

    In fairness, I "watched" a few games but tended to be doing so on a second screen, keeping an eye on the match but not dedicating 100% of my focus on it. And when it was, I tended to focus on other players (CL, for example, was Ronnie, Bale, Costa for his 10 minutes).

    When not watching 100% though, I find it easy to miss solid CM displays as I focus on attackers and defenders :o

    Understandable considering most of us Utd fans have gotten used to not watching midfield play over the last few years.

    ill put my hand you for this :o in fairness i did go to about 28 United games and watch them play absolute ****e so i was usually sick of football to watch Atleti play much
    i didnt even watch the CL final yet:o

    Amazing the hate Welbeck gets from opposition (and some Utd) fans. Questions again being raised about his inclusion in England's starting 11 tonight when he's been one of England's most consistently better players for the last two years. He was also one of the few players to come out of this season with a shred of credibility and was our best performer in the games against Munich.


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


    Rooney playing as a 10 for England, just doesn't work IMO

    They'd be better off putting Lallana or Barkley in there, Rooney up front and Sturridge coming in off the left

    Never heard about that before, couldn't find anything on the Internet. Where did you hear it?

    Not really, you are just complaining about watching something - watch summert else!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,209 ✭✭✭KH25


    Rooney's barely in this game so far. He really needs to be further up the pitch. He's not a number 10.

    Yes really. Your getting a tad bit upset about someone knocking your team. They are ****ing woeful to watch. Im waiting for the Spain match to start anyway.

    Im not upset in anyway. I just dont get why you come into the United thread to say you are bored watching England. Again, if you dont like it, grab the remote!

    You were upset to reply to my post

    'Dont watch us then!"

    I post it on the utd thread because the utd players are in the England team and they are dyer.

    The only reason someone posts is not through being upset. It was also pretty clear you weren't discussing the United lads.

    Meh, enjoy the Spain game later!

    So if we complain about United playing **** should we watch something else?

    Welbeck has played well without having any real chance on goal.

    Rooney has been dire.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,437 ✭✭✭redbaron_99


    Rooney is ineffective tonight. That role doesn't suit him.
    I really like him as a player, but I often feel like he's the odd man out at united.

    I think you mean "dire". Dyer was always injured.

    The Mexican wave has been the most entertaining part of the match. In fairness to Rooney he needs a bit of match sharpness. Welbeck not been bad.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,437 ✭✭✭redbaron_99


    Question: would we want Milner if he was available to us?

    Shaw sitting next to Jones on the bench, as good as confirmed so.
