That green stuff which makes the world go round. Bogeys.

If United play Mata they'll be even more defensively vulnerable. We know this. We've experienced this. It's not like they're signing Hazard.

Hope people don't bring down the forum by updating us every time he scores/assists ala Sturridge.

We should have signed Adam Lallana instead of Eden Hazard. Then we wouldn't be having a silly discussion about all this. #English We should also probably replace Oscar with Barkley now that I think about it. This 'English core' seems to be pretty important. More important than what the players actually bring to the team.. Think it might be Manchester City's English core which will give them the edge in this title race

Just buy the better player whether it's Shaw or Ricardo. There seems to be a neanderthal mentality slowly growing on here and it's really awkward. I'm reading what I think are suggestions that players should be prioritised due to their origin...or should we say, 'people'; not 'players'. Let's just leave nationalities out of it. On the pitch they play with their feet, not their passport. Signing Shaw over Rodriguez because the latter is Swiss or the former is English would be beyond ignorant and definitely questionable. Just don't want visitors on the forum and rival fans thinking we're xenophobes personally. Now on from that; Anyone who has watched Ricardo this season will probably agree that, on form, he's currently the best left back in Europe without a shadow of a doubt. His attacking, fluid and flair-like style of play would compliment Hazard perfectly on the flank and I think he's the sort of player Jose wants for our future. Shaw is a superb option too, but I have reservations regarding his link-up ability. Physically he's a beast; but technically, Ricardo has his number and more.

We'll probably loan Cech out to relegation teams until he gets his record. Well I would.

Hoping to see more Garden of Eden banners & flags again at the Bridge

All of these Man Of The Match interviews he's getting sure are helping polish up his English

Best winger in the world right now.

Anyone who thinks we'd sell Hazard, especially this soon, may just have a mushroom under their noggin instead of a brain.

AN ENGLISH (youth) PLAYER HAS MADE HIS DEBUT FOR US!!!!!! IS THIS THE FIRST SINCE MCEACHRAN????

BAKER!!!!!!! #MourinhoIn

We should injure their striker so Bamford has more of a chance there.

GET BAKER ON U HEARTLESS MAN

POW POW POWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

DROGBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Edit: Mikel?

No longer going to get my hopes up when I see a youngster of ours on the bench. Ever. It's sad now.

Playing with 2 defensive midfielders against Derby annoys me. Baker on for Essien would make my day.

Football is not as simple as so many of you make it sound lol

I can already picture him breaking Giroud in half

And that's why the fuck Oscar starts and Mata is on the bench. He makes shit happen. I loved Mata last season; I still do this season, but people must stop putting him before the club. I hope he finds a good club to go to in this window tbh.

If Azpi goes off and Kalas doesn't come on I might attempt self-rape on myself out of pure frustration.

Talk about ignorant. What a shame.

Pirlo and Matuidi are both available on a free in the summer.. that could be our midfield problems sorted.
