    Seen a few rumours linking us with Virgil van dijk, Aymeric Laporte and that man again, Ezequiel Garay........

    I'd be very surprised if we don't sign a central defender in the next window, would any of the above 3 be commanding enough for us ?

    Jones, Smalling and Evans just not up to it......

    Looks a fantastic prospect.

    Just an update on the Bale story,there was a piece on the Clasico on Off The Ball last night and the topic of Bale came up.Seems like he hasn't integrated with the locals at all over there and isn't fulfilling his role with the fans & the media as is expected of players.He basically lives in his own bubble and even admitted that he still finds it difficult to get to the training ground without his sat nav.
    Isco has become the new golden boy who is keen & works hard plus he's a local lad & a fan favourite unlike Bale who despite his professionalism isn't a huge hit with Madrid fans due to their perception of him being aloof & insular.

    A return to England might not be as unlikely as it looks.

    yes i heard that last night too. i have a little bit of insider info as i work in the football world. he is definitely struggling to learn spanish also, utd are the only team i can see him going to and with adidas taking over our jerseys from next season the deal could become easier. i am aware real madrid are adidas too but they could be happy to at least have him move to another club they sponsor.

    other bit of news i have is afaik rooney is fine for sunday and that comes from one of the players.

    I've yet to see a transfer happen because a club and player share a sponsor.

    I wouldn't mind the cost,as I said before,we were willing to outbid Madrid.The prospect of Bale instead of 'Turn Back Tony' on one side & Di Maria on the other would be a scary prospect.

    Any word on Falcao,it seems he got a kick but isn't too bad?

    I also remember reading something a while back in the Telegraph about Bale and his wife wanting to move back to England by the time their two year old child is able to start school.

    We need Rooney back for Sunday, he usually raises his game for City. Any word on Falcao?

    What about becks to real? Ok might not be a direct cause of him signing but id say adidas played their part

    not a transfer, but nike forced brazil to play an injured/sick Ronaldo in the 1998 world cup final and they did

    Angelo Henriquez with four goals for Dinamo Zagreb in the Croatian Cup against Opatija. That's 11 goals in 12 matches for him, I believe.

    Scored 4 goals coming on from bench.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 56,089 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    Delighted for Henriquez. I was gutted when he left De Chile because he was superb for them

    What sort of level are Opatija operating at though?

    If it were all true theres no way we should be paying more than Madrid did for him, 60 million maybe

    I'm glad the stupid stuff Rio comes out with doesn't impact Utd anymore:D 3 games he won't sit on the bench I guess.

    Rio Ferdinand suspended for three matches and fined £25,000
    QPR defender Rio Ferdinand has been suspended for three matches and fined £25,000 by the Football Association for comments he made on Twitter.

    Twitter is a great thing when used properly. Unfortunately, Rio can't keep his mouth shut for his own good.

    **** that, people can give it but can't take it back. I'd tell the FA where to go


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,222 ✭✭✭✭Will I Amnt


    Strong team for City tonight. Extra-time and a few injuries wouldn't go astray :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,222 ✭✭✭✭Will I Amnt


    Praise Satan, there goes Silva :)

    The age of Ronaldo is over, the time of Rolando has come..

    Ferdinand was out of order.

    Calling a woman a slut on a public platform is silly for a guy that is involved in anti derogatory campaigns.

    Btw, I think Twitter is full of lunatics, I stay well clear!

    There's something wrong here, the team you've posted contains players that all play for Manchester United?

    Look at all those likes, such a sarcastic kiss ass community of beta males we have in here
