[Fearless-Guy]

you know when you're reading an article from an abomination of a newspaper and the levels of TOSH they write still manage to astound you, yeah

 

Nor is it by any means certain that spending £60million on the last player they thought of will do so, either. Until this week Angel di Maria was down there somewhere below the washing powder on United’s shopping list.

 

Of course he is a pretty good footballer. But a Messi, a Ronaldo, a Neymar – or even a Rooney or a Van Persie – he is not.

 

Di Maria’s goal per game ratio is proof of that - only 22 in 124 La Liga appearances for Real Madrid, seven in 76 for Benfica before that, just 10 in 52 games for Argentina.

 

 

someone needs to find out where this guy lives and release a plague of locusts into his home

He's a DM

3 left backs lol

1 CB, 1 LB and 1 DM

Just because you've seen them play LB doesn't mean it's their main position

@MailSport: BREAKING: Manchester United agree £14m fee with Ajax for Daley Blind

if i dont see it on independent or guardian I dont believe

 

the mirror, daily mail , express, metero etc are all gas

[Kompressor]

It's starting.

@OliverKayTimes: Van Gaal: "Shaw needs to work harder on his fitness"

Hodgson: "Yes we said similar during the World Cup"

LVG: "Roy Hodgson cannot judge him"

Then after a few messages calling him out about his dodgy reporting on what LVG said...

@OliverKayTimes: Paraphrasing there, for Twitter purposes, but Hodgson's comments about Shaw's fitness were far more measured than LVG's oriiginal comment

What LVG basically said was that Hodgson can not judge now as he hasn't seen Shaw in a good few weeks and he's been working hard to put things right.

"There's a lotta potential for bloodshed"

Nah, it's the hacks you need to look out for

Daniel Taylor (Guardian) best journo in the country by a mile

Ian Ladyman (Daily Mail)

Mark Ogden (Telegraph)

James Ducker (The Times) but only when he gets briefed

Don't listen to guys like Duncan Castles, Jamie Jackson, Matt Lawton, Neil Custis except if they are ALL reporting something.

[Flojo]

I like Blind he's a tidy operator, not sure how he'll cope with the physicality and pace of the Prem though.

[Sinister]

Ian Herbert is good (Independent) but he don't do columns/stories that often.

1 - Daley Blind made the most passes (2089), interceptions (74) and tackles (77) of all Ajax players last Eredivisie season. Transcendent.

 

[The King]

Blind for less money than Rojo is madness.

Ian Herbert is good (Independent) but he don't do columns/stories that often.

Yep, I was more talking about people who have a good line to the club.

Beg you man use the weekly topic for match discussion

 

You delete the posts?

Formation statement is general not just this game.

[Guest Gooner_Man]

Think of the positives at. Clean sheet, Rooneys lost weight.
