Elliottman

He must be the bums on seats player Pardew was talking/lying about. I guess so. He'll entertain, his pace will certianly help too. Guess time will tell with his end product, but seems a decent signing.

Just watched a few vids of him, the guy has got some crazy skillz!!!

I think we'll sign Long based on nothing whatsoever.

"Cheik Tiote - AP expects Tiote to be back sometime this week. AP also expected a new striker in before we went to the USA" Its either believe him or a wild guess from Mick Lowes....

Cany wait to see Cabaye.

2-0 Tiote and Obertan.

Title change

Good news. Actually looking forward to seeing him. Could make a big difference away from home.

This has all come from a comment from Mick Lowes right?

Wouldnt suprise me in the slightest if we beat them after all this.

I know, what a w*****. He'll be laughing all the way to the bank! Evil genuis that he is. He's got a weather machine don't you know, it cost £35m Its all starting to fiy into place.

4-4

I know, what a wanker. He'll be laughing all the way to the bank! Evil genuis that he is.

I'm fairly sure we'll replace Jose, as daft as they are, I dont think they are THAT daft. If we sign a centre half, he is going to be young, maybe a championship player. Cant see it happening though.

To replace Jose or elsewhere?

Thinking Ben Arfa is going to be played up top. But yeah, forgot about Vickic. pretty healthy.

If we sign Obertan, we are well stocked in midfield (if Barton stays) I think its nailed on Ben Arfa will be played up top with Ba, so get another striker in, Ba, Ben Arfa and new. Things really arent looking too shabby.

Say Barton stays, thats Barton Jonas Obertan Marveux and Tiote Cabye Gosling Guthrie in the middle. Not bad options at all to be fair.

Same as Zoggy?

He's only actually played for Man U 14 times according to Wiki, so i'd be really interested to know how many of those 14 times people have seen him play? Esepcially the ones with such negative views.

Looks like he has good feet and some silky skills!

Bwahahahahahahaha What a great argument. It's true though. Yeah there's exceptions, but it's not often Ferguson lets a young player who's worth his salt go unless his hand is forced like. Forlans a fair point but he was an expensive flop, something Obertan isnt. Rossi is afiar one, but didnt he want a way for first team football he wasnt going to get at man utd? Same as Pique? No, its not true. What you have to realise first and foremost is Us and Man U and in totally different leagues. What is not acceptable for them might be acceptable for us. Look at their midfield, when is this guy going to get a chance?? They are the 2nd best team in the world ffs. Its no shame taking some guy off their hands. Its not like the Mackems taking a couple of 30 odd year olds either, this guy is pretty young. Im not saying he'll make it, but im not being so negative like you either.

What I would like to ask a lot of people on this boeard who have decided to judge, one way or the other, exactly how many times have you seen this guy play? Would love to get a honest response.
