    It always funny people who get worked up by ITK.

    It always seems be posters who only post small amount of time.

    But whats really funny is people getting worked up about my father who bless him is retired making a comment about people leaving a match early.

    How the hell thats ITK im not sure unless word is more broad based now.

    Anyway will just have keep up to date on re regs.....:P

    The Roma fans will be very upset. My own humble opinion is that he'll be an exceptional signing - apart from the African nations thing.

    Even one top central midfielder now and I think we will be back on track soon. Should go for a leader. Vidal would be perfect. De Jong would actually be very well suited to what we need.
    As a City fan I would be gutted if we couldn't have got him if he was available. Mangala is gonna be the real deal in a few years but this guy is in his prime. Easily the best CB in Italy, I'd have him in the top 3 CB in the world with a push. Better suited to England than Hummels aswell so ye should be laughing if ye get him. Very athletic, great on the ball and defensively very very strong.

    cheers for that.

    When SKY run with a "Sky Sources Understand" story then you can pretty much take it as fact.

    I mean if he is actually in the air

    Edit: if we get him, it might help attract other top talents. Vidal will be well aware of how good Benatia is.

    may be some kind of interest, but the stuff about him on his way over tonight etc is being knocked down (quite firmly)


    Supposed it does say "tonight" which could be an out....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,631 ✭✭✭✭Hank Scorpio


    27 years old, should get a solid 5 years out of him

    Now get in a top class midfielder to partner Herrera and 4th should be attainable

    Benatia claim on the Sky website now. Big claim if it's not true, should know more later on from the Manchester reporters when the content of tomorrow's papers is revealed.

    I would be over the moon at him signing, genuinely beyond my expectations right now. He is a super player

    Or before we move on to a CM we could ACTUALLY sign him???


    What's with the getting ahead of ourselves tonight?

    It depends. I think we'll be in for John O'Shea. On loan.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,798 ✭✭✭syngindub


    Just throwing this out there.
    I think john joe shelvey would be a good addition is replacement of Fellani.
    He gets stuck in, he's only 22, English

    Pointed a finger at sir Alec. He will never play for us.
    Khedira, de Jong, bender, draxler, Vidal, McCarthy, blind are all far superior.

    Not getting ahead of myself just expect the transfer to go through since Sky are reporting it


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


    Shelvey? Seriously? Have we sunk that low. I would never want him near the club. Detestable player.

    Draxler is very outta place there

    He spent the game putting in dirty tackles. He wasn't good enough for Liverpool. He's not good enough for united either.

    There's a reason Liverpool got rid of him, a similar reason why United should part ways with Fellaini

    Are we still talking about Man U yeah? :D:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,313 ✭✭✭RVN10


    Christ this thread has lost control at times but someone suggesting Shelvey to United just takes the absolute biscuit altogether fcuk me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,797 ✭✭✭✭LuckyLloyd


    Friendly reminder that MOTD starts in 15 mins for those who need to catch highlights. :)

    He does look good at times. But he looks good against fletcher, who is no where near top level these days. He is out of his depth when he faces top players.
    If we want to be at the top, you need players who excel when they meter top opposition.
    Lars bender could be top class. Surprised big clubs haven't gone in for him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,515 ✭✭✭tupac_healy


    Imagine the ammo we would give the Liverpool fans if we signed Shelvey....


    Spend all summer 'chasing' Vidal and end up with a Liverpool reject.....



    Wow, would be a hell of a lot of social media dodging for a bloody long time!!!!



    Edit: all that aside from the blindingly obvious, he is NOT GOOD ENOUGH
