Rival Watch Thread Watch

This for example. Seriously mito?

 

sure what else has rooney done bar kick lads....

and di maria is a real madrid make weight. its a phfackt... go think about ti i've left an obvious come back for you dangling with that one #allaboutbanter

fianlly clealry markovic is a top top top young tlaent, after all. he's got the hair, he's got the anme... what more do you want!

 

Top young European talent? Who?

 

see above....

can't you see i'm just pull their legs

 

I don't care if Ronaldo comes back.

He's beginning to get to that age where he will slow down- and although his game isn't all about pace- it is one of his biggest attributes and he won't be nearly as deadly without it.

The amount of money that United would have to pay to bring back an aging superstar would be laughable. He'd improve them, but would prove to be a major burden financially on them.

 

We still need match fitness but aren't getting a decent game from anyone. Could do with a behind closed doors WUMing against Southampton.

 

they'd have to drop the world class carrick... if he ever returns to accommodate the kicker, the money grubber, the rake, the greying just for men advert AND the conner.

Imagine wooney, falcao, di maria and conaldo all counting their wages.... 300k, 300k, 300k oh 500k... RVP would feel left out... ah well at least the left fulls in defence could have another left full as their midfield screen i'm sure it'll be fine.

 

Will be interesting to see come the end of season which worked best - us [young potentials] or them [ready mades/ high earners].

 

nobody will care.... cheslea and city are romping away... we are talking about also rans.

the race for 7th and all that.

Its 5 years time given dimaria's age that will matter.... either LFC will have sold them all and replaced them with more toss or they will be a great side.... its then that di maria can earn a move to us when utd go bust paying rooney and his gang so much fro so little



























see the whistle smiley is there for those too thick to realise its banter any other way

 

We're definitely also rans but the gap between us will be interesting and maybe an indication if panic buys do work sometimes.

As for the smileys, most people don't need to see them to get your drift but agree that you have to gauge your audience as to when you need to use them. They can be an abuse-stopper


........................... sometimes.

 

For me, not using smileys is the equivalent of a dry wit- ie, not laughing at your own joke.
However, it's amazing how many people just don't get it, so I reluctantly resort to them at times to (hopefully) avoid any misunderstanding.

 

Excellent point.

It will be interesting to see, at the end of the season, who has the most goals/assists.
Di Maria or the other three between them.

 

On the Younited board they were saying they could get him if they payed him £500k pw. After adding in Falcao, Rooney, and Shaw... that 4some together would be earning £75mill per year... for just four players. (based on most common estimates of salary)

75million for just 4 players? Leeds anyone? Having a salary commitment like that with no guarantee of CL (and income associated with it- and dropping sponsorship revenues if they don't get CL this year).

 

They will squeeze the fans for even more cash: shirts, tickets, TV subscriptions,... At the end of it all the biggest winners as always are the players and their agents...Everything has a trickle down effect. I am sure players across the premiership will benefit: from Crystal Palace to Chelsea including Liverpool.

I wonder how long this Eldorado will last? Once TV money dries up, the party is over.

 

Just in case you took those seriously .....

 

That could be interesting although you'd expect Balotelli to weigh in with more goals given that his contribution to a football team is goals and absolutely nothing else.

In the league so far Di Maria is 2 and 2.

Markovic, Lallana and Balotelli are 0 and 0.

 

Balotelli has a goal! He's scored more than Falcao! (he's also scored two penalties in a shoot out)

 

It would be surprising if hard headed businessmen have not worked out the implications of the worse case scenario. They will have deserved a Leeds if they haven't done their sums...

 

Has he got a league goal? I recall him scoring in some European competition but they don't count.

 

I'm sure if they started losing too much money and found themselves in too much hot water they'd sell - let someone else pay off the debts.
