Jose himself said Mata is completely fit. Still doesn't start. I pray to god we make another CM signing. Can't bear to see Lamps/Ramires for the rest of the season.

Still no Mata!!! Lampard starting again! Fuck! Lukaku?

I don't understand how this isn't televised here. They show meaningless Europa League matches between unknown sides but not a trophy match between two of the biggest clubs in the world.

Frank played well against Hull but was awful against Villa and invisible against United. No way on earth should he be a first choice player still.

I just think it would be pretty bad if City have Yaya & Fernandinho, United have Carrick & Fellaini, Spurs have Sandro, Capoue, Dembele, and Paulinho, while we have Ramires who wants to constantly bomb forward, a 35 year old Lamps who also wants to go forward and has been very poor the last few games, Mikel who simply isn't good enough, Essien who's past it, and MvG who's still a kid. It's the most glaring weakness in the team and yet we don't even appear to be TRYING to strengthen there. Hope we get a nice surprise. All 3 of those midfields are capable of negating and containing all of our attacking midfielders. We have the weakest central midfield of all of the title contenders.

I'd say around £25m is fair for Fellaini. He's got the ability to terrorize teams right now and is a much better footballer than many people think.He's obviously still a bit raw, but what better way to improve than to play under the best manager there is and with a bunch of players he's familiar with from the national team? He'd fall in line with the type of player we've targeted over the last couple of years. Young and with huge potential. He's got the talent to be a top player.

Shit, I'd even settle for Fellaini as a DM signing at this point. He would offer us some steel in midfield and is capable in both defense and attack. Wouldn't be too expensive and he'd probably love to play with all of our other Belgians. Plus, it would piss Moyes and the Manc's off. What better way for Martinez and Everton to get back at Moyes then selling one of their top targets to us!

Witsel please!

Christ on a fucking bike... This game isn't even televised here!

For the love of god let us buy a top class DM/CM!

Yeah, they've sold off all of they're best players already so I can't see them getting rid of an icon like DDR. The morale of the supporters must already be shit.

Think of this as the appetizer.After last season we need something to ease us in again.

Yes! United fans complaining about our easy draw. We had Juve and Shaktar last year you idiots!

Or the pick of the lot. The legend himself Mikel!

I refuse to allow myself to get excited about signing another striker. I figured Ba would surprise me and bang them in for us but that obviously didn't happen. If Eto'o gets off to a fast start and scores a few in his first few matches then I'll be on board.

I suppose. But what happens when they come back? One world class defender will be unhappy.He's a player we should really be in for.

City are apparently going to trigger Mangala's enormous release clause according to Sky's Pete O'Rourke. Fucking insane how much they're spending.

We're gonna look back at this speculation in a few months and laugh. The fact that sites are actually wasting time posting articles saying we'd sell him to Spuds or Arse is hilarious.

United v Liverpool in Suarez's first game back from suspension.

That looks like a friendly Manchester United group.UEFA doesn't put weights inside of the balls for us like they do United.

They've probably secretly given him that new contract. Sounds like £££ has made him nice and friendly again.

As long as I don't see 10 Cech long balls or 50 yard diagonals from midfield up to Ba or Torres I'm fine.

Yeah, forgot Hulk. Says it all really. Think he hurts Brazil more than he helps.

Surely if he has a really nice season here he can get in the Brazilian squad over that Bernard kid who looks about 10 years old? Maybe even the vastly overrated Lucas at PSG?

Think he's gonna surprise quite a few teams with his quality. Like Skipper said, not a player we were crying out for but will be an excellent addition and will certainly add a different look to our attack. Can't wait to see Willian and Hazard on opposite wings terrorizing defenses.
