Even though Jose is usually false with the media, he seemed absolutely adamant that there would be no striker bought this month. I believe him. Not gonna happen.

"With Eto'o being given a contract extension..."My heart skipped a beat for a second there until I finished your sentence. Thought I may have missed something and that he really did.

Just can't see any way United let him do a Lewandowski and leave for free at the end of his contract. Not only do they have huge debt at the club, but it would cause an enormous uproar amongst their supporters if they let him go for free instead of getting £30m or more to go towards a replacement. Seriously, what would it hurt to test them again this month? Like Jose said in the summer, what does he have to lose? An email? Bid £30-35m and see what happens. It's the most they can expect to get for him with his contract situation. If they wait longer and he has a poor World Cup the price just goes down. Just cash in now and let us have him you bastards!

Can't imagine Rooney playing outside of England. I actually do think he's attainable if we were to offer the right amount. An amount that they'd just want to be rid of the headache. Mata + cash actually isn't looking so bad now. I actually laughed out loud during this past summer when United fans suggested that Rooney was worth far more than Mata and that a direct swap would be really lopsided in our favor, but seeing as to how we're managing to look good without Mata and Rooney has been in terrific form I think cash + Mata could be a fair deal. Think we'd win the league fairly easily with Rooney leading the line. City and ourselves would end the season with a pretty significant gap over the 3 place team.

I was watching in tv and still thought it was a Torres error. Commentators didn't say anything about the keeper and they didn't show a single replay for me. I was wrong, then.

Anyone else laugh hysterically when Torres missed that open net sitter? Did all the hard work to round the keeper and then the ball hits his own foot and bounces away.

Exactly.Obviously he shouldn't be played there but people are acting like he's been horrible. He's been decent.

I feel like I say this all the time, but we have no plan or ideas around the opposing box when teams park the bus like this. We just give it to one of our AM's and say "make something special happen." We need to be moving the ball around quicker and not slowing down and shooting from distance.

Still would've thought Ba would play a bigger part for us this season. Especially against lower league opposition and bottom table Prem sides. His sheer size and physicality would be difficult to handle. He'd score goals for us if he actually played regularly.

JT will surely have his contract extended on this form. Don't see him leaving any time soon.

Did John Terry die or retire?Been arguably our best player this season.

Officially a Bayern player. 5 year contract. Kind of a scummy move on his part. You'd think a player would have a little more respect to the club that helped make him the player he is now. This would be a bit like Rooney running his contract down and joining City on a free. Just a bit fucked up.

The way Bushman types reminds me of Yoda. A strange sentence structure you have. That's the image I get in my head every time I see a Bushman post.

Ha!I'm not upset or anything about the situation since I'd probably have been pissed too. Just kind of adds fuel to the speculation that he indeed isn't happy here. It's a bit like the Rooney situation over this past summer. He could've ended all speculation and rumor with a single tweet but just kept quiet. Makes me believe that he genuinely wanted to leave.

I kind of expected Juan to apologize on twitter or something, honestly. He seems like the kind of person who would do that. Something like "I know I shouldn't have reacted that way and am happy that the team won," or something. Or say how hard he's going to work to earn his place back.

It's all Barbara's fault.One should never boob-bomb a thread and expect it not to be derailed.

Imagine when that woman is like 50, though. Her chest will be swinging around her belly button.

Personally, I like smaller tits. So long as she's got a Jennifer Lopez ass. I love where this thread has gone, LOL!

Jesus, Barb! These giant posts. When's your footy novel coming out? I'll buy a few copies.

Pretty sure Costa just renewed his contract.

Yes, I suppose so. hahaha

Glad that we're waiting until the summer for a striker. Judging by Jose's answer to that question about whether or not we'd be active at all this window it sounds like a CM will be a certainty this month.

Yeah, judging by that press conference I'd be shocked if Mata is sold. Unless some silly money offer from PSG came in.

If we are serious about getting a top class striker this window, pick up the phone and have a word with PSG about Ibra. It's not like they don't have another world class striker to replace him.

If we were looking to spend silly money on a striker why on earth would it be Higuain? Laughable rumor.
