i think the thing is how they'll play together

 

wijnaldum, anita, de jong and abeid are all technical footballers who can bring the same and more than colback for me

 

then you've the likes of sissoko and tiote with their physical strengths that colback doesn't have either

 

colback is decent enough to slot in where/when required but i'll be gutted if he's first choice CM next season at the expense of people like anita

Yup. De Jong, Wijnaldum and Anita all speak the same language both figuratively and literally.

I would want to see that given the chance first and foremost.

wonder if they'll play bony up top with those three buzzing about him:

 

        bony

silva  sterling  aguero

      CM      CM

 

that'd be f***ing devastating in the PL like

Aguero out wide so they can play Sterling central huh?

You are having an absolute giggle mate. That is just shocking.

Giovinco is far too good for MLS.

 

Clearly, it's a coup getting a player like him in his prime and not at 35 years old. He could just as easily be playing in a top European league right now. Hopefully it's the beginning of a new trend of attracting prime talent. Getting Gio dos Santos and Chicharito would represent the same kind of forward-thinking transfer policy.

 

Had no idea Giovinco and Dos Santos were in the league!

Why have they done that?! Are they crazy?

Man Utd are all over the place at the minute. No idea what they're doing.

Keep buying midfielders, which is what they seem to have enough of already.

My goodness. What a disgrace 

 

What's disgraceful about it? We are throwing big money at players we really want for a change. I'd far rather we do that than sign 3rd or 4th choice players which usually end up being a waste of money.

Can't fault the club at all, but it is a bit cringe.

It's like continuing to ask a girl out and she keeps rejecting you publicly.

Hopefully we have other options that are of a similar calibre that we can try for.

£14.4 million seems cheap for Schneiderlin. They should have rinsed them for more.

My goodness. What a disgrace 

Flamingo Land has almost killed me  :lol:

Perfect for Bruce's circus man. Brilliant!

Man, you're going to be so wrong! 

Ha! Well he certainly isn't playing behind the striker for City. No chance. So guess he'll be a shit winger for them. Well worth the £4 million and £200,000.

Ignoring the money for a second, i think some how forgotten how good he was alongside Suarez. Wouldn't surprise me if he performs similar with Aguero tbh.

I think you're mistaking him with the other black guy.

That season Sterling had 9 goals and 7 assists in 33 prem games.

Sturridge had 22 goals and 9 assists in 29 games.

Sterling has been surprisingly unproductive so far in his career.

Doesn't score or assist as much as you would think at all.

It's an absolute joke.

Oh my goodness ... what the hell?!

Can't believe those wages.

What are their attitude issues exactly?

Miserable git.

Palace linked with Coloccini!

:mike:

Interesting thing is we are actually getting players on our "a list" unlike previous years.

 

It appears our offers are now more generous funnily enough.

Probably helps that we don't have a manger banging on about Tomkins and Bent every 5 mins, and claiming not to know anyone Carr suggests outside of the UK.

Why can't Puma do our shirt like the first one?!

His form on those curls is absolutely disgraceful.

Those other clubs like Porto and Roma aren't prioritising him at all.

He should come over. Happy to hear he at least had a love for the club as a youngster.

He'll love it once he comes over.

Yes, he's a definite improvement. The coaching staff looks miles better than last season.

 

As bad as Pardew turned out to be, pairing him with cretins like Carver just made everything doubly bad. Heinous coaching setup.

That's what he wants though, people that don't challenge him or try to have any real input. He just wants yes men under him. He's pathetic.

If we're going to carryo on signing players of the calibre of both he and Wijnaldum, then we have a good chance of being back in Europe by next year.

I think if he does come he won't regret it. If he knows about the club and was a fan, once he gets in the door he will love it IMO. Get Shearer to welcome him too!

I respect his decision to wait to see if a European club comes through. That's certainly his right.

He's a lot like MYM in the sense that he's quick across the ground and comfortable on the ball but he's a lot more physical.

 

If we buy him we need to hope Lascelles develops quickly

It's almost as though Carr is mad we lost MYM, and has gone right in for a similar style of defender now Pardew is gone! 

Actual real statements that make sense after the game. Food for the soul man.

De Jong shedding some light on the approach under Pardew. There was clearly never any intention to try and keep the ball.

Love this guy's personality. Seems a really cool confident sort.

Clearly even Photoshop is unable to remove f***ing Agbonlahor from the club.

 

He's like a Brummie Ameobi.

 

With the Ameobis, Gabby and Anichebe the Nigerian diaspora in England has a lot to answer for.

The shame is a very heavy weight to bear.

I can only apologize. We will get it right one day.
