  1. Baba was really fast...also really useless the majority of the time.
  2. All I'll say is he's getting out of my fantasy team. He's going to miss a fair amount of games this year through disciplinary issues...
  3. Because Mikel has the exact same performance 95% of the time and people like you are very quiet during those times. That was my initial point, if you noticed. Matic has one season like he had last season, yet he was a massive part of us winning the title the season before that. Mikel has had the exact same season for the past 4 years, yet we still get 'remember him in the CL?' shite from some who are now criticising Matic for the exact same thing MIkel has made a living from. Hypocrisy at its finest.
  4. Please Ricardo, come and help the team...but more importantly, help Ivanovic into the retirement home.
  5. Quality player. Changed the game and should have scored twice.
  6. Fabregas back from his year-long holiday. About time!
  7. Mourinho played a massive role. The team we had in 2013 finished 3rd. The shit we have now is down to Mourinho selling quality players to our rivals (Mata &, via Wolfsburg, De Bruyne), replacing with absolute shite/pointless signings (Salah, Cuadrado, etc.) and putting faith in shite players (Ivanovic, Oscar), old players (Eto'o) or half-season players (Fabregas). I know which team I would prefer right now, the one full of promise (Lukaku, De Bryne, Mata) untainted by Mourinho's negativity.
  8. What the fuck was the whole defence doing for that goal to be fair? They all should have been marking a man back. Why the fuck was Ivanovic picking up Deeney and not Cahill? What was JT doing? Why was Kante in the position of a CB? Why the f**k was everyone so deep? Atrocious. We are royally f***ed this season again if a quality LB and CB are not signed pronto. Forget about strikers or midfielders, ffs.
  9. Yeah, it's the same role Mikel has somehow has made a living from.
  10. lol, even his 'fan' Conte doesn't want him. I knew this shit would happen. One of the most pointless/useless signings in history. £28m for a Bambi on ice, unshiftable, loan merchant. Good thing we're not continually pissing large sums of money away on useless wingers while we still have Branislav Ivanovic at RB? FFP and all that. This club needs to be cleared of the idiots responsible for crap like this.
  11. If Mikel played the same role Matic did today, we probably wouldn't hear the end of it (from some) until next season. He'd get to live off a performance like that for another year.
  12. I heard Icardi is supposed to be our plan B if we don't get Lukaku... I know who I would choose. I wouldn't even have Lukaku as plan D.
  13. He's always been a half a season player and last season we didn't even get that. Offers no energy or defensive attributes to make up for his dips in 'creative' form, making him practically useless for half a season every year. I wouldn't be sad if he left.
  14. Sign Ricardo Rodriguez already ffs. Saying it for over 2 years now. Still very young, can actually cross AND take set-pieces - we all know how shit they have been since Mata left.
  15. The way I see it is, the best that can come from Cuadrado this season is that he reaches a level similar to Willain - and that's me being very generous to Cuadrado. (1) I don't think that will ever happen and (2) I don't think we need another player who can barely cross or score a goal. He is still wanted by clubs right now, is in his late 20s and probably on big money (compared to wage bills outside England). If he has a season anywhere near like he did when he first came here, who the fuck would buy him? Especially if they know we would probably accept a loan just to be shot of him? I can honestly see this turning into another Malouda situation where we can't get rid of him for love nor money. I really hate questioning Conte so early on; I really, really do. But I cannot say alarm bells didn't ring in my head when I heard he wants him in the squad. Again, I really hate saying it, but a decision like that makes me think if Conte realises the difference between Serie A and the Premier League - because some players are just suited to certain leagues.
  16. Get rid of Oscar ASAP (I would love for someone to argue why he deserves another season here) and throw more money at Niangolann. We need more dynamism in midfield. That or give time to Chalobah. Fabregas has always been a half season player and we need others who can make up for Matic's slowness and one-footed play. Defence is a travesty in all honesty. It's been like that now for a long time. I don't even know where to start.
  17. I'm really anxious to see what he will do with the team before the end of the window; the likes of Ivanovic, Mikel, Baba, Cuadrado. I think Mourinho royally fucked this team so much that we're in a bit of a precarious position still, even with the good additions so far (the Kante singing was amazing). We were 10th for a reason after all. I'm also particularly worried about what his plans for Christensen is if he actually is looking for two defenders. Maybe he's he has him as his JT replacement already, who knows? I love Conte so far. When he gets chances like this to rectify Mourinho's mess, I really hope he gets it right.
  18. Getting rid of the dead weight can be as important as signing new players. I'll say what I've always said, Ivanovic should have been sold years ago. I hope Conte gets it right.
  19. Yes! If there was only one signing we could make, I would've chosen him.
  20. I just came here to say exactly this. I just loved that line, loved it. So eloquent. Back him to the hilt. If it doesn't work, fuck it. If it does, brilliant. It certainly can't get any worse than last season that's for sure. He is the kick up the arse a lot of the players need.
  21. Where do you think Ronaldo goes when he decides he doesn't want to be on the wing anymore? That day is edging closer and closer by the looks of things. Who do they choose as first choice then? Morata would be a fool to go back there, but plenty of fools have gone to Real Madrid in the past regardless.
  22. Haha, says how desperate he is if he decided to go and prepare a 'list' of youth players he supposedly gave a debut to (he includes the likes of Robben, Zouma & Balotelli, which says all you need to know). United fans would be ridiculing him to no end if it was Benitez. That level of desperation makes me think he's still a bit mentally unstable - yearning to prove he can do things the 'United way' (which he never will). Can't wait to see what happens when he actually comes under some real pressure.
  23. Well then how do you know he needs a team built around him then?!?! You're either implying our team catered to his needs or you have a crystal ball.
