His pre-season games are a worry on the back of his last season, lucky we have about 2034 strikers though. Unlucky that Balotelli is one of them.
Mourinho's got himself into a cat fight with Mrs Benitez. The guy's cracking up (Third Season Syndrome).
Early days yet, but I didn't see anything in the Charity Shield that suggests we made a mistake in letting Falcao leave - in fact, to the contrary, not much seems to have changed at all. Still a lot of endeavour and effort, but no end product............. still
Sunderland may be on the brink of signing Pato for £5m. Unbelievable stuff. Only 25 as well, just a shame his career nose-dived due to injury. I would quite like to see him do well.
Two funny things about our rivals... 1) Looks like City will fork out close to £100m on Sterling and De Bruyne 2) Mourinho who clearly doesnt understand young talent, sold De Bruyne after coming in and assuring the player he had a future at Chelsea. Now Jose is left once again looking like a manager who can only work with established players.
I heard that Wenger's technique for handling young players involves a packet of sweets and a cheery smile.
Falcao banging them in again for fun. That Maureen certainly knows a thing or two about strikers............not
...sometimes But if you're happy for him to close down your academy as he said he will, then good for you.
Right lads, which team do we want to avoid and which team would be the best draw for us on Friday? Manchester United will meet Club Brugge, CSKA Moscow, Lazio, Monaco or Rapid Vienna in the Champions League play-offs later this month
Is this a two legged tie? Home and away? Tbh I'm not bothered who we have but for entertainment value I'd quite like Lazio.
Should comfortably beat any of those teams, whether that happens is another thing! Less distance to travel the better.
Brugge or Monaco would be fine. None of them are huge obstacles tbh. Did we win it last time we had to qualify?
