    nah you don't need any signings. Imagine if you make some, then you wouldn't know if Skipp or Marsh are any good. You have to give the youth a chance.....

    Skipp’s the bollocks, mate. He’ll be a top CM in a few years. Already better than Harry “sideways” Winks.

    Marsh won’t make it. Decent enough player, never breaking through into the first team though.

    Did I rave about his performance today? Are you sure you’ve been quoting the right person today?

    Did you just compare him to Riquelme and David Silva? <whistle>

    style wise. All diminutive great technicians and great passers with time on the ball for themselves.

    Riquelme was lazy as **** though and gassed out so was the ultimate luxury player.

    Mata is luxury cause hes weak and slow and has no energy but tries to put the work in.

    David Silva is the best out of them all cause as well as dictating play he can hold his own and has a burst to get away from players even though he's not speedy (although he started off weak and not as much puff when he first came)

    Thing about England is that we weren't actually that good in the world cup. Hype over nothing. Players like Trippier got mentioned like they are the future of the team, but he's 28 And probably won't play in another world cup.

    Was only joking anyway.

    Loved Riquelme when I was younger and naive about footy. Wouldn't want him in my team now.

    Similar for Mata actually. Wanted him before he joined you guys (remember opposition fans flooding the old 606 Liverpool claiming we'd signed him as a wind up, bastards!) but didn't want him later on because of his work rate.

    I'd have loved Silva though, beast of a player.

    OGS, what a legend. I’ve always loved that guy, he is Fergie in a player. It doesn’t surprise me that he’s the manager who’s finally properly got Herrera and the fact he ****ing loves playing for Manchester United. I doubt it will last as Woodwood will **** it up by recruiting Zidane or Bottler Poch but it’s enjoyable at the minute.

  13. Not welching, at all.

    It's all within the parameters of the bet, laid down at the time I offered it, and Tel accepted.

    I specifically laid down that rule so that neither you nor anyone else (but especially you) gets to choose the avatar.

    It's a United v Spurs bet, not an Arsenal v Spurs bet.

    Tel's probably dreaming up some abomination involving Berbatov lifting the title, even as I write these words! Oh! That would be like a knife through my heart!

    Please don't have an avatar of Berbatov lifting the title, Tel! That would really hurt me.

    Start the season now and under a competent manager like OGS, United would finish third.
     
    #44174
  15. Agreed.

    If we manage to finish top 4 still, it will be an achievement to surpass Arsenal's so-called "invincibles" season. That's the season when the so-called "invincibles" lost 5 times during the season, including home and away to Middlesbrough.

  16. For the rest of the season, we're probably going to pay Moura up front (if he's fit), and Wanyama in midfield.

    I suspect that Lamela is also going to get a lot more game time.
