Weeeeell, I know its cool to hate on Rafinha but lets face it. He is alright.
The problem is: What do we do when we face the big teams in the CL? Leave him there or put Lahm back on that position.

That aside, he's probably the best informed journalist covering United right now. Got a lot of things right in the last 12 months.
he's our weakest link in the defense. he's maybe alright for bundesliga relegation teams like freiburg or dortmund but not for the big players in the champions league
imagine Ronaldo, Lavezzi, Neymar or Hazard against him.

James Ducker of The Times also reporting that we're getting closer to finalising a new contract with De Gea.
Arnie's going to be fuming.

Regardless, Arnold said he won't be signing one.
This is a momentous occasion. Either he stays, or we get a world record fee for a goalkeeper.
What a time to be alive.

I don't actually like Whiskey, but maybe I will find the one for me

And we all remember the 'early christmas present' of Suarez signing an extension at Liverpool. We know contracts are next to meaningless now, but if he doesn't sign at least Madrid have to cough up big to get him. That's something to be happy about anyway.

Exactly, definitely doesn't guarantee him staying but does at least guarantee a fucking huge fee for him.
I thought it was like days before.

Buffon am cry.
The fact that he cost 32m in 2001 or whenever it was blows my mind :lol
That's like, 60m in today money.
Would expect at least 40m for DDG.

Steve Bruce on Evans: "when you look at the case in detail and I don't think most people have really....then certainly Ched has got a case."
It appears that Steve Bruce knows more about Ched Evans's case than the three Court of Appeal judges that refused him leave to appeal his conviction.
Fucking prick.

Do you know what is an abhorrent practice? The PFA deciding to blanket defend anything that happens to one of their members with no consideration of the specifics.
He'll end up either at PSG or Madrid eventually. Thought PSG were gonna have Matuidi/Cabaye/Pogba French trio innit, but sweet Yohan can't get off the bench.
Come to Manchester, Kebaby.

Adnan's boots are fucking top. Just ordered them. He's not showing them off anytime soon so Wembley Power League can take a glimpse instead.
:lol
He was like 22 and the world's best keeper so you can at least justify it in a way but
we paid fucking 41 million for a 29 y/o Nedved!
(what an absolute bragain in retrospect though, but it was still fucking mental! And the way we tricked him into signing for us was fucking Bayern-esque :lool)

Verratti needs to go to Pep, Italy doesn't deserve him.
Yeah, not saying it wasn't worth it, just that it's a huge amount of money for a keeper at the time.

Ironic thing about Mendes fucking us is that, allegedly, when we were buying him we demanded De Gea sacked his agent at the time and signed with Mendes instead.
How'd you like me now

Fuck/thnx Madrid!
We're keeping their Pogba hostage then
Think we paid something ridiculous for Thuram too.
GOD we were cunts
But cunts by proxy thanks to Madrid's halal money

Fucking hell, we paid 20 million for Lovren.
The thing is Steve I did look into it and still dont agree.
I was at Carnival in Huddersfield (love that place) a few years ago and this mascaraed dancer I were flirting/dancing etc getting close through out the whole procession. We had been drinking Wray and Nephew pretty much the whole day, so when we got back to the hotel it was clear I could quite easily have sex with this girl but she didnt have a clue what was happening, so I put her to bed and fell asleep. I imagine Chad saw said drunken girl, and thought she must have been up for it but quite clearly you would have known she wouldnt have been able to give you consent because she wasnt in her right mind, especially when you werent even invited into the party in the first place.
Anyway OZIL IS BAAAAAAAAACCCCCCKKKKKKKK thank YOU!!!!!!!!

Surely you don't mean Juve
Back then we were one of the only top clubs to actually turn a profit! And unlike Lazio, Inter, Parma and the rest we didn't really spend that much.
Now we're shit, but slowly getting there.
Dunno why I even care about our finances...BUY EVERYONE
BUY DE GEA ADNAN AND WILSON

Anderson was £20m.
£28m if you include the room service bills, maybe.

Best one was a couple of police officers beating up a mouthy paraplegic bloke in a food court. Caught on camera.

Listened to that Second Captains Clegg suggested.
It's good.
Seem to be two versions, took me a few minutes to figure out I was listening to an Irish soccer podcast.

Gonna watch it when I have a day off. Worked 11 days in a row m8, all shifts that mean I don't get home until around 11. Will try and watch it next week.
Chelsea didn't sell Lampard. They didn't offer him a suitable contract so he left on a free transfer.
One thing I did pick up, or have reinforced in my mind - Michael Parkinson is borderline UKIP.
"All these Croatians, got nothin in common wi' em"
Yeah, there's one about football and then one about all other sports. Both come out twice a week, Monday and Thursday, a couple of hours about. The non-football one can be pretty interesting actually.

Rabiot wants the Poch.
Link me them lad. The Bungie Boot collection could use a new addition.
fake edit: are they the new balance ones? I saw some training pictures of these and when I looked they weren't available to buy yet.

"According to today's edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport, Leiva has already spoken with Coach Roberto Mancini"
They want him on loan but the Transfer Committee is saying no way jose, you buy him whole or fuck off.
