Richard Dunne aint British tbf Based in Britain. Cuellar isn't British either. John Carew & Guzan are the only ones in that squad that werent signed from clubs within spitting distance.

Curtis Davies is there only CB atm isn't he? edit: Cuellar too. If they play him at CB.. which they should..

If our outfield wasn't so fucking amazing i'd say quite the opposite. He's got faults that could see us drop quite a few points really; i'd certainly put the blame on him for that goal at West Brom earlier in the season. He's always been a really good shot-stopper but he's got all Given's other faults, just sorta multiplied. I don't love Harper at all, I think he has a fair few flaws, but I think he's still a lot more polished at his trade than Mr.Krul at this point in time. Understandably so.

(alm d()wn man

Really nervous as fuck about the Lovenkrands deal... It would be just like NUFC to have it fall through Doesn't have to be done by 5pm.

Every link today has been unsubstantiated shit

I voted pre-season. I voted 8. Now I'm a 2.

? More dets

Aye, Krul really dominated his box against Huddersfield when he whimpered out towards the ball, expecting their strikers to just let him have it rather than imposing himself and taking the ball. He was fucking diabolical.

Not this shit again.

Bentley heading to Man City? Would be a bit unwhelmed by that if I were a Man City fan. Is a good player imo. At blackburn was one of the highest scorers in the old 'gets crosses into the box' category. I don't understand why he's been frozen out to the extent he has at Spurs. They shouldn't pay much for him, but they will no doubt. I don't see where he'll fit in either. But M.Hughes = the reason why he'd go there / they'd want him.

I wouldn't. He's really got no product and would probably cost us in wages. Note: I'd still get a Beasley NUFC shirt in a heartbeat mind you.

Our start will have encouraged people to stay at the club yes, perhaps even a few to come to the club. However, these clubs that have a 'good chance' of going back down, ultimately are in the PL right now. Even if they go down, it's hardly unheard of to have the player then leave for pastures new (probably a team with a good chance of getting relegated from the PL again). Plenty of players play this game.

A manager took a risk on Harper once. A manager took a risk on Given once. A manager took a risk on Buffon once. A manager took a risk on Casillas once. They don't take the risk on these players by randomly deciding to drop their first choice, perfectly competent goalkeeper and replace him with an unknown quantity. They work their way into the team over time, often not being a frequent team member until mid 20s. Through coming in when other players are injured or unavailable.

Savio is poor though, he was blatantly only signed cos of some random family tie between west ham & brescia.

I will bet you £100 that Colo will still be here after the window closes. ... although the second I typed that I felt a lot less sure

We'll gladly let you guys have your league back as soon as possible by going right back up. Sorry about that. It just annoys me that our first game on TV is a home game (and the only game on TV scheduled for us, I think), whereas you lot seem to have every home and away on TV atm. You won't be moaning when NUFC - Watford ends up on tv. Ultimately I guess we're the big dog as far as viewing figures go, so I wouldn't expect much to change. We're Man Utd.

Agreed, but wouldn't want to see him in there too often as we will end up getting bummed in the air.

He shouted a fair bit. He spent the entire game battling with Steve Howard tbh, needless Smith hate. He did well imo.

Don't get carried away now.

Let them?? It's an international match, we didn't have a choice. And even if we did, it'd be retarded to have kept him imo.

Nile on tv > Martins on tv

MOTM NILE

They worked hard and created a few decent chances first half, but we still should have made this match more comfortable than the scoreline suggests. I feel sorry for Steve Howard cos he did everything he was employed to do but absolutely no-one else was on the same page.
