Am i the only one that would be happy with this? His goal record is phenomenal and yes he may disappear in big games quite a bit but he will sweep up against the lesser teams, failure to do that this term is the reason were in a desperate battle for 4th. United win their titles because they rarely drop silly points, their big game record isn't actually that great, hench the lack of CL's and even FA Cup's compared to PL's.

I remember in the same fixture last season Suarez and Ivanovic had a minor (in comparision) bust up and at that moment i thought of the time he bit the PSV player and imagined him possibly doing the same in that moment. A bit strange he does just that in the same fixture the following season.

Unless he makes a vital contribution in the next few weeks to help us finish top 4/win Europa i will go as far as saying he is up their with Torres in terms of our biggest ever flop, despite only a £6m fee.

Purely speclutive, not a single rumour at this point. Personally i think he is just what the defense need. With John Terry on the wane, Branislav Ivanovic better as a right back and Gary Cahill no better than a (good) squad player, a long term defensive partner to David Luiz is needed in the summer. Roncaglia was signed by Italian club Fiorentina last summer and has helped them climb to 4th place (they finished 13th last season). After losing Nastastic to Manchester City, Vincenzo Montella unearthed another gem in this guy. At 26 is approaching the peak of his powers, just the kind of signing we need this summer. Also to add he is a right sided CB so that means Luiz can carry on playing on his preferred left side.

Sometimes things don't work out for certain players at certain clubs, if we get him we could bring out his Udinese form again. Duff is an example, he didn't work out at Newcastle, they sold him to Fulham and all off a sudden we saw the form he displayed for Chelsea and Blackburn again.

Before we signed Hazard and Oscar. So in other words if this happened this time last year before we got either.

If this happened before we got Oscar and Hazard, i would be fuming with jealousy.

Just a thought, if we kept Robbie and had the exact same results, would we have accepted that this was a season of transition and what has happened is the best we could have hoped for? I think were that blinded by hate to Benitez we are trying to make out this season has been worse than it actually has been. Ok Rafa hasn't done himself any favours at times, but reducing the average age of the squad as much as we did was only going to lead to the inconsistent results we have suffered this term. Maybe we could have done better in some of the cups, but im afraid we have done as good as we could have in the league. We must prioritize experienced heads this summer, in centre back, midfield and forward.

Its harder to score in Serie A than the Premier League. I love how the BPL is made out to be some super league that players have to prove themself's in before their considered great. The myth that Messi won't score as many in England is annoying, he would have an absolute field day against some of these defences.

They say things work in cycles, with Gotze going there, Hummels probably following eventually along with Pep, the next four years could be the turn of Bayern.

@Hutcho, They will defend him publicly, but ill be amazed if their isn't a fair chunk of our squad who privately have the same views on Torres as most of us.

Nope, any one who faces them for the rest of the season

So that's another fucking guard off honour we have to do for them. We need the title back, fast.

For his first season in England, 10 goals is a very, very good return. I have always said his ceiling is even higher than both Hazard's and Mata's, only time will tell if he will get there.

Being in a close promotion race, then possibly the play off's will be good competitive experience for him.

If this United team brake our points record, it will be an absolute tragedy. We must win at Old Trafford.

Random thought but does any one else believe he is the worst right back to ever play for us? At times i was gobsmacked by just how bad he really was.

@Peace., That is such a good idea but sadly there is more of a chance of the fans taking to Rafa, only on Wednesday night i heard the Torres,Torres,Torres chants at Fulham. This guy is a complete and utter embarrisement, i can handle players who are not that good but put effort in, which is why i never jumped on the Kalou bandwagon, but this guy doesn't even try, and acts like his first team place is his right. He has gone on 3 major goal droughts (the 3rd one i still class as one as it was one goal against Brentford in god knows how long), one you might be able to say is down to form, but any more, its a clear sign their finished. He should start 2 or if we get past Basle 3 more Chelsea matches, and in the summer its fuck off or the reserves, hopefully with this perceived 'good form' he is having we might be able to recoup something along the lines of a half decent fee.

Exactly, seeing comments saying that our future is fucked has me banging my head against a brick wall.

Arsenal may on paper have the easiest run in, but can you remember the title race in 2010 when they supposedly did aswell, remember what happened there? Spurs seem to have a mental block when it comes to playing Chelsea, even last year when they were better than us we still managed to beat them 5-1, i can't see them getting anything at The Bridge is the stakes are so high.

FUCK OFF"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please don' give me that shit, Torres was useless because he is a fucking shit footballer, end off

Marin's rubbish and Moses is a squad player.

Liverpool fans bang on about how their academy is the best in the country. Well we just taught their youth side a footballing lesson over two legs, at times in the first half our domination was ridiculous.

PVA is a deceiving player, he has attacking abilities but his defensive side is non existent, he is the left back version of Bosingwa.
