Come on!!! What did mata have to gain from that letter. Infact if united were not so deaperate to see any player joinin them then that letter could have caused him some winning over of United fans.Plus if that was not genuine then nothing is

As soon as pellegrini had blurted that stuff up in thw presser, he would have been kicking himself. I had no doubt that jose had his answers prepared even before pele had said those stuff. But the way he got into the old guy is just AWESOME. Jose is truly a master of mind games.this is gonna infuriate pele more than anything and more than just mou laying into him it's the way he first includes pele's profession and theb goes on to slate him. just GENIUS.

Jose had the option of ba, he chose lukaku. Tells u what he thinks about it.Lukaku is 20. He has his whole career ahead of him. Which player is complete at the age of 20. All the faults that you have said is very much improvable and pkaying under someone like jose will do exactly that for him. What is the point of selling a 20 year old, who can easily go on to be a world class in a team that has a dearth of it. It was pretty evident that lukaku was in jose's plans this season too. But etoo came in, plus ba to arsenal loan had to be cancelled cos of ozil's acquisition and hence lukaku was loaned out. As for the next season, I have no doubt lukaku will be part of the team. A new striker, lukak hi and one of the 3 we have would be our optiojs. It makes no sense to sell lukaku who could give us 10-15years of top football so that we can keep etoo for an year ( plus I think lukaku still has more goaks than etoo this season)

I had meant that lukaku was subbed in for torres towards the end of the match, that too when we were a man down and playing against the best team in the world. Hardly a sign that the manager does not have confidence in his players.I feel one of cech/courtois will be sold. Its hard keeping 2 WC keepers in the team. And it simply won't be fair to one of them. Can't comment on pva. Have not seen him play except under carlo and that's ancient history now. But hard to see pva playing a role if bertrand could not. I expect jose to have 3full backs in iva, azpi, shaw next season with a back up in ake.

People are actually buying into the psg bs. I expect roman tp buy psh rather than us selling them EH.

Totally agree. Please @alex, @ bluesmaster@ choulo19Make it happen guys

They need a ROMAN. No shame in accepting that they fucked up signing moyes, simply cut your losses

People are really underestimating west brom here. They have been good at home. Specially against big teams. They just got a draw against pool a week ago. Dont see why we need to "rotate". Rotation is for cup games. Plus we are at the top and need to consolidate. With arsenal playing united, we CAN go 3 or maybe 4 points ahead of them if we win (remember arsenal are shit in "big" matches and also have a block against united). Can't see city dropping points so would be foolish for us to take this game lightly. Also cech out for schwarzer in. LOLOLOLOL. What are we punishing cech for??? Too many clean sheets?? Cech Iva Gc Jt azpi Rambo matic Willian oscar hazard Etoo.

Why? How?Teams sell their players for these reasons 1. Raising of funds. 2. Player is not good enough 3. Player does not fit the system. Now with us the first point goes directly out of the window. U can argue that with FFP we have to do it, but if we are so adamant in gettinf funds, we have a string of fringe players like torres, ba, marin, moses, kakuta, bertrand, pva, plus we will be selling one of cech/courtois plus the money we would be saving by letting go off cole and lamps. We have more than enough funds with these players, none of whom have a future than sell a 20 year old striker who is tipped to be the next best thing As for good enough and does not fit the system argument goes, I would just like to say that jose deemed Lukaku good enough to lead us against bayern and more over he deemed him worthy enough to take the Ultimate penalty in the same match. LUkaku is 20, some say he is still "raw" but inspite of that he is a better goalscorer than any of the 3 we have right now. I simply can't see us selling off lukaku. Nope. Not happenibg

Schadenfreude

He definitely deserves better. United were abysmal last night. Young and evra were irritating to say the least. I don't think mata was average for them. Infact everythinf good that happened for united had mata all over it. He made the right runs and the coreect decisions but if your team is simply lookinf to put the ball into the box and hoping foe the best, what can mata alone do. 81 crosses from united and onlt 15 were touched by a united player. Feel real sorry for hin

Please remove his ban. This forun was a lot funnier with him here

Torres for one season costs us close to 19mil in FFP. Even if we keep him, he will be used as a 3rd atriker and we already know about sulking and causing problems in the dressing room. On the other hand etoo seems to be a nice guy who can actually help young players like lukaku, simply can't see torres doing that.Lamps and cole are gone. No doubt about that. But I can't see Jt leave. No way. He is one solid half of our center back pairing. Even today in any big match, people might differ about GC/DL but JT is still a spot on starter. Simply can't see how we would cope with him. Cole and lamps have been phased out but Jt is a major part of our season. Like u said, shaw plus cavani would be perfect.

2007-08. That team was just PERFECT. How that team could not win a trophy that seasom would always continue to baffle me. It actuqlly felt like that team could have done a treble/quadruple.

The striker situation is getting clearer. Give etoo an extension. Sell ba a d torres. And have mr. X, lukaku and etoo as our 3 options.

He is startimg to peeform real good. If he continues on the same vein then I won't be one bit surprised that he would get an extension. Starting to deserve the 1st striker role for now.

Dp

Tough game. Never easy against this lot that too in an away game. Cech Iva GC JT CA MATIC RAMBO willian oscar hazard Etoo We are winnin and playng well. The players seem to have hit a note. No need to change our first team. We will have to grind this one out.
