Can't blame it all on the squad. They certainly a squad better than MK f***ing Dons!

United have an unbalanced squad and LVG is playing a system that does not fit them or the whole football culture of England.

But that's exactly it. Had he said no to united, Real would have been forced to accept lower bids.They can't force him to move to united. It's his choice.

He was one of the best players in Europe last season and he was arguably the best player in the WC. Of course he had other options, he'd walk into almost any team in the world. He just opted for united because they are offering higher wages than anyone else and I expect Madrid also pushed for it as well because utd were probably willing to pay the highest fee.

Let's not get off topic, especially with a very "volatile" subject.

I heard he was headed for the nearest bridge...at full speed...with no intentions of stopping when he gets there! In all seriousness, I do feel kinda sorry for him. He's a marvelous player and he just walked into a huge, possibly career-damaging, mistake.

Tim Sherwood for the united job! Someone, anyone, make this happen, please! :D

So...has he handed in a transfer request at united yet?! :lol:

Well done Maribor

How do you know about them, then?

Moved to ex-blues. Best of luck to him. Still, he's a Chelsea boy. Would always like to see him doing well.

Which kinda raises some questions about how much playing time he will get there. I don't know much about this squad, but they don't strike me as a team desperate for reinforcement.

I just love Juliano He's talking about this: http://www.thefalsenine.co.uk/2013/10/30/juliano-belletti-brazilian-born-play-stamford-bridge/

Chelsea legend, Frank Lampard has today announced his retirement from international duty. Chelsea's record holding top scorer has always served his country to the fullest of his ability in his 15 year international career, scoring 29 goals for the Three Lions in his 106 caps. Frank is one of only 8 players in history to make more than 100 appearance for England. Lampard's decision comes ahead of England's preparations for the Euro 2016 in France, thus putting an end to the rumors that the reason that Frank agreed to join Manchester City on loan was to prolong his international career.

Fuck! That settles it. Sign him up!

You'll give them Schurrle and Courtios?!

What the actual fuck? Why would they want that? This is like throwing a party because you caught a cold!

He didn't though. Jose said that everyone had Sunday off. EDIT: Barbara beat me to it. I really need to learn to read the whole thread before replying...

That was in a 4-2-3-1 where Jose went with Willian in some big games for his speed in pressing. In a 4-3-3, Cesc is much less dynamic than Rami and Oscar. If we are going to press high, even in a 4-2-3-1, Cesc certainly won't play the 10 role, imo. He just doesn't have the speed and energy of Oscar or Willian.

Initially yes, but it also depends on what you train with. For example, I'm right handed but left-footed because I always played football with my left foot.

I know this probably isn't a popular opinion, but for me, Ramires naturally comes in for Cesc, not Oscar. That or he comes in on the right wing for Schurrle.

And from 2 shots on target.

Think he'll ask for a loan away from Everton? Now THAT would be funny!
