So they lie and say we offered the two player who our fans love the most. Fucking assholes! Now I hope more than ever that Rooney kicks up a fuss and puts in a request so we end up with Rooney AND keep Mata just to shit on them.

Don't think I could ever get over this deal if it were to happen. Seeing our best player in a United kit? For this measly fee? Literally makes me sick.

Absolute MADNESS if we give up Mata. Mata + cash!? Are you fucking kidding me? If Bale is worth 80m, Mata is worth 85m.

Obviously a sensationalized headline but true including wages and likely transfer fee. Rooney is one of, if not the most marketable global footballer, so making that money back in shirt sales and whatnot shouldn't be a problem. Everything seems to be aligning for us here. No other top strikers available so this is our chance to act and bring in one of the best players in the league in a position we need. Rooney & DDR and we'll be one hell of a squad. I may almost feel bad for some of our league opponents next season if these two signings happen. Almost.

We've just about run out of options and some of you still wouldn't want Suarez. If the man who he bit forgave him, than I think you guys can as well. He would MASSIVELY improve Arsenal if he went there.

Negredo and Jovetic in addition to Aguero and Dzeko. Nice selection for them once again. Pretty crazy how City already have such a crazy expensive squad and have gone out and spent another 100m. And notice how only one of them is a young player. City are obviously heavily focused on winning in the immediate future and don't have NEARLY the promise as we do long term. Still think City are ever so slightly ahead of us until we make one or two more additions.

Exactly. Ibra would be a 1 or 2 season signing. Perfect for Lukaku to play with and learn from.We'd absolutely PISS the league if we signed Ibra. Would only happen if we sold Torres though. Really hope there's nothing to the City link.

I do think a player who actually chooses to go to the French league like Falcao did lack ambition. Cavani pretty much went to PSG because it was his only option other than staying at Napoli. No one else was willing to pay his release clause.At PSG, if they don't win the Champions League, no one cares because winning the French League is so meaningless these days. With the absolutely staggering amount of money their squad costs it makes their domestic league an afterthought. The standard there is low, so if they don't win the CL their season is really a failure. If a player has the option to go to Real/Barca/United/Chelsea ect and chooses to go to the 5th best league in Europe, it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Ibra, you know what to do!

Agreed. But they'd also be 2 or 3 times the price.

Can't see it mate. Cruised the league last season and won the treble and have now added 2 of the best young players in world football and a manager who's won countless trophies. It'll be interesting to see how Pep incorporates everyone and makes them all happy.And to think they'll be getting Lewandowski for free next season... We may see back-to-back-to-back trebles! Bloody hell!

So.....what will the points gap be between Bayern and the 2nd place club this season? 30?

But if we went to a 4-3-3 Mata would be pushed out wide. While he's still an effective player on the wing, he isn't at his best there.It could work against some teams, but I don't know if I want to see Mata out on the wing trying to deal with Zabaleta for instance.

Exactly what I wanna see.Ramires or MvG playing games next to DDR with Lamps playing lesser opponents or coming on as a super sub. We'd go from having the worst central midfield at the top of the league to one of the best with DDR here.

If Rooney and Suarez aren't possible, then yes please. If all other options are unavailable then I'd take one of the all time greatest strikers who's still world class. For 1 season, why not?

I love Twitter. But at the same time I fucking HATE Twitter.

The trophy had a United crest etched into it pre-match and they lose it. LOL

Singha look as bad as you'd think, but somehow Utd look just as bad. Down 0-1 now. We'd put 12 past this lot.

See a lot of people putting Lamps and Schurrle in their best XI's. Some here really underestimate the ability of De Bruyne. --------------------Cech------------------- ---Azpi----Ivanovic----Luiz----Cole--- -------De Rossi------Ramires------- Hazard--------Mata--------De Bruyne -----------Lukaku/New Striker----------- That's a league winning side. The likes of Schurrle and Oscar will still get a shit ton of games. Lamps will play against weaker sides or will be subbed in late in games if we need a goal. Can't see him starting many games against the big boys.

Thiago was never a target since yesterday when Pep said he wanted him. Hope they get Leon Osman now.

You do remember how many goals Torres scored in the league last season, right?You want that waste man leading our line again?

Unbelievable.

So it goes from out a month to "niggling" injury? Maybe he's trying to tell our medical staff that its nothing to worry about.

They'd seriously piss off their fans if they said he's injured and then sell him.
