Also, it looks like Man U's preseason tour of the US did them a world of good. They were clearly much fitter than Man City. I wish our preseason tour would've been more like how Man U does theirs - they are here for over a month just training their asses off instead of trying to fit everything into two weeks.
I thought Clevery looked pretty shit myself. You can tell his vast inexperience, hacking at balls, not keeping possession of the ball in the 94th minute after going up 3-2, the list could go on.
This is a major fallacy in some people's thinking. People ridiculed the idea that Obertan was Barnetta's replacement but effectively that's what he is. A cheaper alternative to buying Barnetta. The interest in Barnetta is now dead I guarantee you, no way will we be buying two right wingers who would compete for the same spot.
Every time I've seen Obertan it's been on the left wing. I may be missing something though.
A side with players like Ben Arfa and Cabaye running on a maximized profit is much more appealing than a team with a bunch of bruisers running on a profit.
They're closer to it than us.
True
Really hope the Scousers struggle this season (wishful thinking........)
Will probably still get into the Spanish team either way, which I think was his actual goal.
