Fernando

Well maybe your right, but Dortmund has to sell him next summer or extend his contract otherwise will be the same scenario.

Well how many years he got left in his contract before he does a lewandosky?

Mourinho will upgrade if necessary. Remember Mourinho first season with Maka? Most people back then would have said why you need Essien when you got Maka? And later we realize why it was such a good signing. So, as long as it's a target that can upgrade us and we can get him we will go for him. Reus would be an amazing upgrade but as some said he has Bayern writing all over it. I believe we more chances of signing Pogba then this bloke.

Think it was that Belgium guy paolo something. And he was also hating us for KDB....have not even seen that thread be active any more. In less then a year the KDB fans, Mata fans and so far Lukaku fans have been put in their place by Mourinho. Never question Mourinho. :blue scalf:

Yeah some of those buys is best to judge them this second season. Don't have crazy villa boas around anymore and the players should be more adapt to the league. I think Spurs might be a tough team this season despite them getting thrashed by Liverpool.

Yeah very good business. I do have to say one player that have caught my eyes is Federico Fazio to Spurs. I rated him highly at la Liga, and Pochetino got himself a great player. Let's see how well he fits into the PL, cause that's another thing as wellll.

There was never any level playing field intention with this. It was like I said, just spend what you earn. Platini made it clear from day one. You can spend an immense amount of money just as long as you make it via revenues.

That's like saying what if Costa and Remy gets injured....

How is it going around the system? FFP only stops you from spending what you don't have. If you have big revenue coming in you can spend all that.

@Chelsea Legend 11, The only player from 12 season I would have loved to kept besides the obvious one in Sturridge would have been Meireles. He was very useful CM. Don't know why we let him go.

FFP, and taking the cue from Chelsea. After being criticize for revolutionize this technique, now it seems like the cool thing to do nowadays

Well if that project is over then there's still some good young players. Remember kondgbia and ocampos? I think they still there.

Well I remember uefa saying they would cut a break for teams that fail to qualify as it reduces their revenue. So for me I don't get it why United would worry about such things. Especially when they making so much money.

That still doesn't make sense. United are not in cl so FFP should be of no concern till they get back in right?

Oh ye of little faith. Don't you know that Mourinho is always the best in his second season? So no matter who brings who, statistics will never be wrong! ?

Wait I thought it was a loan? Are they obligated to buy him next season? Is that even allowed?

But Falcao is not in form. He had a serious injury like Torres. It is why no one wants to buy him outright.

I think your right. I don't think hazard not tracking enough is the problem, it's our defense that has been very average at best. Everton scored two goals from headers, headers!! I thought Terry and company was dominant in air? So this is where I believe Mourinho will focus on, defending better set pieces and high crosses. I also said it in another thread that for me azpi and Felipe will move to each side and Ivan will move to the cb, because cahill and Terry ain't as good as people here hype it up to be. The main reason they was good last season was because we was defensive. Now that we're trying to be more expansive you can see their frailties.

No that's wrong he also had a good defense over there. Ramos was a beast and much better then anything we got. This is where I'm expecting Mourinho eventually shifts Ivan to the cb and puts azpi and Felipe on each side. Will not happen right away but by December we might start seeing this. Because this defense is not that good and something needs to be fix.

Not used to the high tempo game of the pl. But he's still been good.

No, Terry and Ricardo was beast, as well Cole, Lampard and Drogba. That team was better then this one.

Too crazy for me. I expect Mourinho will tighten that defense.

Well I was saying pre match that our defense is shaky. This is just a sign of how shaky it can be at times. While entertainment I still prefer a very tactical discipline display then being all over the map.

I actually think our defense has been a bit shaky the last couple of games. Let's see how shaky they are today....

I wonder if Oscar was not injured would he would have start? I still think so.
