Reddish-Blue

None of those clubs need Mikel...except maybe Arsenal considering all their midfielders are injury-prone Anyway to be fair to Mikel...if he replicates the type of football he plays for Nigeria, he should do well at his next club.

You're missing the point. People are blaming Ferguson because he left a group of average players (except Rooney, RvP) for the new manager. United won the title last season because everyone else was shit...and Fergie got the best out of his players. It was always going to be a difficult task succeeding Ferguson...and the most puzzling thing is that Fergie chose Moyes, who is NOT a winner to take charge of a massive club. I feel bad for Moyes because United is a step too far for him. At United, you need someone that wins titles, someone that immediately commands respect (e.g. Mourinho, Hiddink, Ancelotti, Guardiola etc)

Not sure about De Gea...but agree with the rest of your team.

It would be an even BETTER season if we win a trophy :blue scalf:

Out of Nando's 22 goals...only 8 of them came in the Premier League. THATS THE PROBLEM. I can see why you don't want Benzema at Chelsea...but based on statistics, his shot accuracy is identical to Diego Costa...and he has created MORE CHANCES than Costa this season.

In terms of finishing Costa is just as bad as Benzema...the only difference being Costa is having a very good season because the team is built around him. Benzema is a natural goal scorer...there aren't many BETTER options out there except Cavani.

Depends if the player is mentally tough or not. If the player is mentally tough, he will just brush it off and use it as motivation to prove the manager wrong in the following games... If the player is mentally weak, he'll get pissed off at the managers comments and lose focus

I'm glad United & Mata aren't doing well.. He left the club and it just proves the grass isn't always greener....

To be fair, the only player I'd keep out of Mata, De Bruyne and Essien....is De Bruyne, due to his potential. As for Lukaku, selling him makes no sense UNLESS you are buying a world-class striker (e.g. Cavani, Suarez, Ibra, Falcao)

I'm confused....is this a serious post or sarcasm?

Yea, Fenway group seem to have learnt from Dalglish's failure in the transfer market.. With UCL football on the way for the scum..i'm expecting heavy investment in the next 2-3 years

Maybe Kroos grew up as a United fan? Other than that...I don't see why you'd want to play for Moyes.

Potential means nothing unless Kovacic is guaranteed regular football next season...

If he had stayed at Chelsea, he wouldn't have developed as quick as he did at Benfica.

What a game. Once again, Matic shows his dominance in midfield A bargain at 25 million...considering United bought Fellaini for a similar price :blue scalf:

Kovacic has a long way to go before he'll be able to start regularly in the EPL. The question is: If Lampard leaves....will Jose trust a midfield of Matic, Ramires, Van Ginkel and Kovacic? The lack of leadership is worrying...

As long as we don't get complacent, we should get the win

Barca have every chance of getting knocked out by Atletico

Good draw for all clubs except United

11am GMT time....currently it's 8.30am Basically the draw will take place in 2hrs 30 mins...

You'll never know if the team is ready without a test! The reason I don't want United is potential embarrassment if we lose to them

Drawing United wouldn't be a challenge for our players. I'd much rather Dortmund or PSG....just to see how we go against solid European opposition

I feel bad for Olympiakos....they didn't deserve to lose 3-0 If United get Madrid, Barca or Bayern in the Quarters, I'm predicting a 5-6 goal aggregate rout..

Would prefer: Dortmund/PSG Hoping United get Barca/Bayern

Unless the Costa deal includes Torres....I'd much rather sign Balotelli
