The Skipper

Surprise surprise...

Ignore him. He's a clown.

The same top manager who fought to bring in Mikel and said he struck gold with him right? Come off it.

He's back guys.

Hey! I'm 19

Looks like he's off to United. Absolutely brilliant signing for them if true...

Just as I suspected.

That's how I feel about it.

If really, really isn't.

DP.

Just because you play in the pivot it doesn't mean you're a CDM. It's mind blowing how you don't understand that.

Go watch our game vs. Tottenham away last season and tell me Mata has no "x factor". Seriously, did some people even watch us last season?

Ramires will flourish under Mourinho.

So Dortmund's general manager represents KDB now? Come off it. If we did want to sell KDB he'd got for a lot more than 15m euros. Thiago's only at 18m euros right now because of his release clause. His true value in the current market is over 30m, common sense.And we really don't need to sell to afford 18m.

No space in the squad for him.

Kid has certainly got a bit of quality about him but I don't understand the overreaction to him going out on loan on here like he's the best DM in the league or something. He's just come back from a serious injury and needs all the game time he can get so sending him out on loan to a decent club that offers exactly that is a good thing in my opinion.

Yeah, 45m is a lot of money, I'm not going to lie - but I have no desire in selling one of our top players whom we should be building the squad around - we're not a selling club. On the flip side, you don't even know how good Mourinho can make him but history tells us that Mourinho can turn him into a great player and I'd definitely take that over money. Like you said in the Cavani thread - football is not just about buying the best players for huge money - it's about the bonds you make with a player, how the player affiliates with the club etc... You can apply the same theory to us selling Luiz. Would you take a 30m offer for Lukaku because we don't exactly know how good Mourinho will make him? It's ridiculous to sell a player off because he *might* not get better.

Happy birthday you absolute legend. 35 and still going strong.

Don't even bother with him. Said Neymar is the best player in the world, said Mata is average, said Oscar is shit. Obvious troll. Should get banned tbh.

That pass.

People overrate this kid a bit, sorry.

Seriously can't wait to see what Mourinho does with him. Nowhere near the "average" defender people call him.

Yeah I agree, but it's not going to stop. There's always fickle people about that'll call a player overrated after only seeing 2/3 games of that player.

Do you blame them though? Neymar usually never plays as well as he does for Santos when he's with Brazil so obviously people are going to call him overrated and stuff. Had a great game tonight though, him and Luiz my MOTMs.

It could be. If you could try and get tickets for the CL game.
