  1. If Mourinho stops playing favourites with certain players, we might start winning games
  2. We'd have to sell most of our first team squad if Pep was to come as they wouldn't fit his philosophy
  3. The whole mess started with Mourinho and Eva...since that game, every player has looked disinterested and lacking motivation...
  4. Suarez - just a freak Aguero - proven goalscorer, all round ability Benzema - good all round ability Lewandowski - clinical finisher Costa isn't better than any of the strikers I've mentioned..
  5. yeah because every single player will perform as well as they did last season and Willian's tracking back will once again cover Ivanovic's defensive issues
  6. Win the league with a few games to spare? As long as Ivanovic is our starting RB, we won't be winning anything this season
  7. There's no buy back option for Romeu.
  8. You can't create a lineup without Branislav Ivanovic, he's undroppable regardless of how many times he gets caught out of position by the opposition
  9. Not sure if it's fatigue but the players aren't as determined/ "hungry" as they were last season. I saw a number of occasions against Crystal Palace, where certain players looked content to pass it around, rather than force the issue and test the away team's defense.
  10. Willian runs hard for the team, but his end product and finishing ability for a CAM/RAM is well below average. I'm not suggesting that we start using Kenedy...but I would love to see Mourinho change things up and try playing Remy & Costa together, or Falcao & Costa together...it's just frustrating to see the same attack fail to create chances game after game...
  11. Berbatov move to Villa is indeed possible (Guardian)
  12. Without Harry Redknapp sticking his head out of a car window, deadline day is so boring
  13. Regardless of the new contract, his value will remain around the 6-8 million range* (unless he surprises everyone at West Ham) *if i remember correctly, Stoke were keen on signing him for around 6 million
  14. If he wasn't going to be part of the squad this season, we should of sold him.
  15. United should just give Valdes a chance..
  16. And the worst part is...we failed to add a midfielder. Surely Witsel at 25 million (according to rumors) is a worth a shot before the window closes
  17. I think United are buying a striker... Sky sources understand Monaco have agreed a fee worth £36m with Manchester United for striker Anthony Martial. Futhermore, sources in France tell us that the overall deal, including bonuses, is higher than that figure.
  18. Full name: Papy Djilobodji Solid defender, main strength: Interceptions, good at winning headers He's only been linked to a Turkish club and Sunderland of recent times
  19. I agree that our foreign loan success rate isn't that great....but who knows, maybe he can join Kakuta, T. Hazard and Romeu in terms of doing relatively well on loan and earning a permanent move to another team As for loaning him to an English side, he's just had 4 consecutive years in the championship...maybe the player wanted a change of scenery?
  20. I don't think Willian was worth it. His attacking moves are predictable and he can't get a shot on target which is pathetic for a starting CAM He really did overachieve last season and I think he'll be found out this season as opposing defenders will know that he is unlikely to produce moments of magic
  21. To be honest, I don't expect Chalobah to be anything more than squad depth at Napoli Will be interesting to see whether he gets more than a few cameo appearances..
  22. As every pundit said in the off-season, you can't stand still in the transfer market, otherwise you get left behind...I'm getting the feeling that we may have been left behind (by City) The most worrying aspect of our first 4 games is that the players don't look motivated. There were a number of occasions where our attacking players could have taken a long shot and tried to test the goalkeeper...instead, they passed it around, missed the opportunity and Crystal Palace cleared the resulting cross/ball in the box with a simple header. I back Mourinho to turn this mess around, time for him to walk the walk and back up his claims of wanting to stay here long term :blue scalf:
