Just accept the arrogant tag and move on. I can accept the tag, just not over this.

Where's the arrogance? From the fans or from the club? This is 28 million pounds we're talking about here.

We gave them Gibson for pennies though.

I've just posted this to a mate on Facebook and it sums up my thoughts about those two: I don't want either of them. I'll be really disappointed if we splurge that sort of money on those two. Yeah Baines is class but he's 28. He doesn't really offer a whole lot more to Evra in defence or attack, if anything. A major asset of his is his set pieces and he isn't going to be taking anything over Van Persie, who is a better penalty taker and free kick taker than he is. It's not because he's not good that I don't want him, it's because we don't need him. Left back is simply not an issue. Fellaini is only good if you play him behind the striker and use his as a battering ram, i.e. lumping the long ball to his head or chest. He can't pass a ball more than five yards in front of him and has zero vision. He's simply not a Manchester United player. If we bought him we'd have to change our style to facilitate him, which would be completely unacceptable in my opinion. Another major reason is that it would push Kagawa further down the pecking order, who is twice the player Fellaini is. We do need a midfielder, but I'd rather gamble with the team as it is and save the money for next summer and go for a top player then, if there is no-one available now.

Messi's fucking control man.

We're top of the league.

Scum? Samuel L. Jackson on my bet365 adverts...

Love those deals, Man Utd signed all 3 Rooneys didn't they? Only two isn't there? They were both at Everton but we didn't sign his brother.

If Hull had an asshole there would be 11 blue cocks heading in its direction. This is going to be a massacre.

I'll be furious if we've sold RVP to Hull like. As a goalscorer, theres none better than RVP in England but as a player, Mata is another level. Each to their own of course. There's very little in it and it's all a matter of personal preference. I absolutely love watching Mata play.

How good is it to see big Steve Bruce back in the league lads?

Mourinho.

Hull are going to sneak this. Paul McShane to come off the bench and score a later winner.

I think he's been guaranteed games every now and then, as this is a world cup year and he's still our number one keeper. Probably league cup and EPL games next to UCL games. He'll play league cup games for sure and maybe unimportant CL games, but I can't see him playing many league games. Incognito mentioned Turnbull and Hilario there. Turnbull was their second/third choice keeper for four years and played less than 10 league games. Hilario is still there and I think Mourinho has a soft spot for him as well and could give him run outs in the cups. If I was Schwarzer I'd have been looking at another mid table side to ply my trade.

Schwarzer is a good signing for Chelsea. I would have said a shit choice for him since he's still a good keeper and could have started at a lot of PL clubs, but he's obviously happy to pick up the paycheck. Chelsea will have a good second choice keeper for 1/2 years until Courtois comes back.

Reckon he will like. Can see him getting 30 apps. Half starts, half subs. Will probably take the penalties if he's on the pitch for them. I'd say he'll get 5.

Chelsea's Bench: Schwarzer, Essien, Van Ginkel, Schurrle, Mata, Ba, Lukaku. Mother of Christ. :anguish:

Fuck me. No Luiz either. My two big hopes, and my captain and vice captain. Is Luiz injured or something? He's not even on the bench.

Who's giving him stick? Aye we call him a rat faced Mackem cunt but nobody can deny what a good player he's been. I've just been glancing through but a few people laughing at the fact he's playing in the Premier League. I seen that as a negative thing. He done well since coming on. Will probably get 5-10 goals this season.

No Mata. Fuck off.

People on here giving Phillips stick like but he's played smart football since he has came on.

Knew it. Good pel.

He's either going to sky this or score, or maybe put it wide.
