It seems odd that we are only interested in recruiting from France. Carr does scout in Holland, Belgium and England as well. Being cynical here, it occurred to me with the Sports Direct advertising being in French in the ground last Saturday that perhaps we are trying to maintain our profile in France whilst Ashley develops his brand in that country. cheaper, thats it thats the only reason why we go for french players

oh joy lets continue to do the exact opposite of what our manager wants and sign another frenchman, offered an opportunity to sign a striker who scored 27 goals in a poor team last season? Nah he's british and thats what our manager actually wants and we can't have that. Our transfer strategy alone means we deserve relegation tbh

hey don't look at me I never claimed any of that I just think we should give him a break because of the tripe he's putting up with behind the scenes

doubt it

did Wenger spend the last week counting the individual pennies for the extra 3.5m?

typical mourinhio stuff, diabolical. Forgot how much I hate the guy all the resources in the world and he produces that garbage

christ at least rafa tried to play football at chelsea

bit of a pattern in that tonight, latest strategy in his attempt to get out?

be a footballer and not a diving cheating bastard?

should get sent off for sheer cheek there

too much footballing talent is my guess

Toby Fair ‏@TopTopPundit 56s Interesting. Mourinho looks to abandon his experimental 4-6-0 by introducing Torres and moving to a more traditional 4-5-0.

actual footballers on in a high pressure game? are you mad?!

how can welbeck pull off the finish last week and then pull off that

remember when the top sides went for each other and the games were fun, this is what jose mourinhio does, diabolical stuff

not going to happen

what a strange thread

jamie jackson ‏@GuardianJamieJ 44s Am told by someone who knows that #mufc have not bid for Gareth Bale. And, for good measure, the same regarding #mcfc so who's spurs made up rival bid from?

Same bullshit he tried in the paper most likely but Ashleys stupid enough to believe it.

He wanted to leave because of the way he was treated by Ferguson. That makes it sound like he was treated poorly, but the reality is Fergie didn't think he was ready for the first team while Pogba did. He decided to leave when we brought back Scholes instead of playing him in centre mid. Had he stuck around he'd be in the side now though. Fair play to him though, he's doing well at Juventus. from his POV that doesn't seem great that Fergie would trust a guy who was retired than give him a go instead

we have one available

Llambias said that, now however Kinnear is in charge and nowhere near as competent as Llambias was (never thought I'd write that concerning Llambias but there you go)

Wanted to leave over lack of game time wasn't it? Certainly didn't use him much or give him a chance

seems likely he got in a big huff over missing out on Neymar and went for the current fashionable thing in football ie Bale without any regard as to how or where he'll fit in the side or how ridiculously expensive it is for him.

in all likelihood I doubt players are all that bothered by it since they may/will want to do the same in the future
