I already really really don't like liverpul and with Balotelli they have just increased the potential hate I can have... Hopefully he keeps up being inconsistent and mentally fragile instead. Good we didn't go for him, but honestly I'm happy he's back in the Premier League

I'm writing one on Costa

Maybe, but it can go the other way around and they don't offer much better terms due to recent disappointing income they had, and with iphone 6 getting ready to launch, it can go various ways. We'll see soon for sure

I do agree that he isn't that good but I actually forgot that he's only 21 at the moment! He has so much maturity and experience for his age. I generally tend to be very forgiving to CBs under 23 so it may be that (for a reason) , but I think he has done very well considering his age and the difficulty of the Premier League. Gotta agree though that Savić looks as a player with more potential though. But not a player we should be looking to bring unless we could get him for something cheap since we could resell him later and make some nice profit.

Yes Guardiola needs a new centreback since Martinez is injured hahahaIt's a false rumor for sure, Khedira must play at Dortmund to get a Bayern transfer...

Aye but its difficult to convince players like Vidal or di Maria to come to a team that not only doesn't play in Europe but it has rather slim chances of playing CL next season. And it's bad publicity for the club to have rumors of those players rejecting MANCHESTER UNITED to whom most of media wanks to... So they kept it very silent and you have that feeling that they never went for a player while they maybe have even had a bid accepted but player refused to join them.Why would Vidal actually go to them? Money? Has that at Juve. League title? He won't get that at United but will maybe at Juve. Europe? Champs league at Juve while no Europe at Manu. Yes he would maybe want to play in the Premier League but he knows that if he signs for them he risks Europe but also reduces his chances of other PL teams since they won't sell him so easily even if he would want to leave later... And I am not surprised to see them crumble at all. Since their CL victory they've been getting most of their results through Fergie and media support he had. I was always among people who thought guys like Evans, Smalling, Young, Kagawa, Cleverly, Fletcher, Carrick (last few seasons) aren't United quality. Now when they have to step up is clear for everyone to see. They need to feel other teams'pain because not all of them have Fergie at the helm for 25 tetras years.

Well he played a lot as an attacking midfielder at Madrid last season but I would really really be happy if he was on our wings in a few weeks. Brilliant crossing and vision but also great technique and pace. Really complete offensive player. I only see Hazard being better then him in our team.

That is way too much money for him considering that we have 2 players named Nemanja and Francesc that would walk straight into any starting 11 in the world. Crazy, 35m while we payed around that much for Fabregas and we all know how good is he xD Just agent giving his client advertising and a future new contract...

Nice Sick xD

Wait wait wait, Guardiola actually wants a real CB to play as a CB instead of converting a defensive midfielder there? Haha something is seriously wrong here

Watched him today considering we may be looking into him. Nothing spectacular, but Swansea were defending a lot and he was left alone on their half trying to battle for long balls. Can't do worse then Torres I guess. I'll watch him closely against Burnely in their next game.

Would make no sense to me either mate

I remember the hype around him, crazy. Shame really, he's 21 already, should be kicking ass by now

Even 12 mil is a bit much for him considering he is on the last year of his contract and wants to leave. If it wasn't for Arsenal, I'm fairly sure Jose would convince him to come here on free next season

Here's what I think will happen with CFC's transfers. We will sell Cech because one foreigner must go. He is the one we can afford the lose even though my heart tears every time I imagine him gone If we are able to bring in Khedira, we will replace Mikel with him, but I feel it depends on Jose and his plans. Jose knows him very well, and if he feels Khedira is an upgrade over our midfielders, then he'll want to bring him. It appears that Jose wanted to bring him for free for the next season, but Arsenal are chasing him and we may not risk it. As for a striker backup, I believe it's entirely down to Torres. If we manage to sell him, then obviously we will bring another striker, and I'm pretty sure that we have a long long detailed master list on the best strikers in the world considering how well our strike force had done since Drogba Cavani? Nope, can't see it happening at all considering our system, how well has Costa done and his wage. Guardado? WHY would we bring him? I mean, yeah a good squad player, but we are kinda really heavy on players, and in order to bring him, someone else would have to go, and that ain't good. Benatia? Maybe, but I doubt it. It would be lovely if he would stay at Roma and we could bring him next season, but it may be the similar case as with Khedira. Perhaps Benatia is the perfect replacement the club found for our centre backs so they don't want to risk losing him.

I absolutely think this guy is gonna sky rocket us to success! So happy we signed him, yes! :D Of course my lady! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/11038621/Burnley-v-Chelsea-Diego-Costa-will-give-Jose-Mourinhos-men-balls-as-new-Premier-League-season-kicks-off.html

I would welcome his transfer here, he's an upgrade over Mikel and Ramires. Great work rate, good reading of the game, solid all around, knows Mourinho well, low fee...much more pluses then minuses.

The guy who comes from behind the sunset Mourinho said: "His village is behind the sunset - you want to arrive there and it's difficult to arrive [it is so far away]. He's still that guy. The way he behaves. The way he acts, he way he interacts. He's still that naive, pure, simple, humble guy. "At the same time he's such a communicator, he's such a group guy, he's such a happy man that, not speaking more than 10 words in English, he speaks with everybody. He can establish a conversation and interact with somebody and he doesn't understand a single word the person is saying. "But just because of gesture and body language and happiness and so on everybody likes the guy so much. And he comes from Atlético Madrid and he comes here and with the adaptation. Happy guy in the group, not shy. He's fantastic. I say to him every time, 'Do you need me to explain something in Portuguese?' and he goes, 'Nah, I understand everything'." "So everybody was blind including myself. He went to Atlético and [sergio] Agüero was the superstar. He went on loan after that. Agüero goes and they bought [Radamel] Falcao and he went on loan. I think he was always behind very important players but at the same time he was developing himself. So when he got the chance to go back to Atlético he was even better." "I have to say I have met so many wonderful characters in football and it's difficult to find one better than Diego," Mourinho says. "In the group, in the club, so nice, so funny, after that he goes to the pitch and he wants to win matches and the fact that he played against Chelsea, a club that he was already connected to, people were having the feeling that he could come to us, and to play against us and play the way he did for his club, I think shows his character.

I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT TO SEE US PLAY! I missed PL so much!

It's funny how some Manu fans only now realize that Mata is not as pacy as Ronaldo and Messi

Oh come on homie, we are talking about a coach who sticks it up opposition's or ref's arse whenever he feels his team was damaged by a bad decision, dangerous tackle or similar. The amount of fines he payed so far is quite a number That alone inspires unity and good squad harmony. Players can talk all they want, but all of them want to win and that's what Jose lives for. He will kick their asses and they will either win or die trying to do it. And this? I never had a bigger buzz before a coming season then this one, and I'm actually rather down to earth when it comes to these things. At the start of previous 2 seasons I've said I would be satisfied with a season without a single trophy if we manage to improve on our football and replace our aging stars. For this season I will not be satisfied at all unless we don't win either PL or CL. Anything less then that is a complete failure.

Well actually I do. Every fucking time he was speaking to the media he promoted that idea, sometimes directly, sometimes indirectly. Didier's transfer was also an important part to it. He managed to keep a happy dressing room even after Lampard left, Mata was benched, Torress was benched...almost every time we looked as a team and not as a team of mercenary footballers. Even when we were playing badly or struggling to get the result, team never stopped going for it. Obviously it's not all Jose, but I can't say he isn't the mastermind behind it all.

It's funny how twitter exists for some time now, yet with Mourinho at the club, only now we see shitload of these pictures of the team and them spending time together. Jose is really doing well creating a great team spirit and a stable dressing room. Absolutely love it!

Aye, SAMSUNG logo looks nice on our kits, but financially it's not among the top deals. If they don't offer us much more money per season I wouldn't be surprised at all if we signed with someone else now. Especially if we win PL and/or CL and use that publicity to negotiate better terms.

The difference between Arsenal and Ramsey and Chelsea and Oscar is that Ramsey gets support when he plays badly (which he did a few seasons ago) unlike here when people can't wait to get on Oscar's back after a run of average or poor games. Hahahaha I still can't stop laughing at United They have even worse squad then last season and yet some United fans even thought about going for the title this season They celebrate LvG like he's the Chuck Norris of football xD And I absolutely hate formation 3-5-2 and absolutely I'm in love to see United implement it. Can't wait to play them and exploit those wings! Young as a left wing back? xD Their squad is just awful, simple as that. The worst United squad I can remember. Evans? Smalling? Hernandez? Carrick? Welbeck? Powel? Fletcher? Cleverley? Anderson? I wouldn't take a single one of them. They need 2 great centre backs, 2 great midfielders and a quality right wing back (unless Valencia can have a good season and stay fit). With players who are available and the inflated transfer market, I doubt they have enough money to plug all the holes they need. I'm sick and tired of Manchesters winning title and it's lovely to see one of them collapsing. And that cunt Fellaini? Should've got his sorry ass sent of for all the elbows, tackles and knees.
