Ginola

Nice to read some unbiased opinion. Thank you.

I think this is it really. He's not set the world alight for Man Utd, but he has shown glimpses that there is a good player in him, and he's done well in pre-season this season (from what I've seen), so it's just a matter if we can get the best out of him or not. As Ronaldo mentioned, he's definitely an improvement on some of our current options as well.

While he's obviously not a world beater, I think he'll be a decent signing. From what I've seen he's had a good pre-season for Man Utd this year and could make a decent impact given the chance. Not over the moon about it, but he should be decent enough.

Very iffy. He'd definitely be a good signing though

Well they've got to start somewhere right? DUH!!! Indeed. But our side needs leaders/experience. We shouldn't have signed anyone without PL experience then?

It can't be that hard to put a negative slant on one of our top 3 players from last season potentially leaving on a free, surely?

So why include Routledge, he wasn't going to be in the first XI.

They had that Swedish keeper as well who played for a bit, but did pretty badly. Think he went to PSV.

Aye. It was a rhetorical question in response to SUPERTOON, but thanks He can, but I wouldn't say he's a natural winger and is better used in CM.

Defoe's already said he wouldn't come here, the cunt. Finding it rather hard to begrudge any player who doesn't want to join us, if I was a player with no connection to the club then we'd be very fucking far down my list at the moment. Agree, 100%.

Marveaux, Jonas and Ben Arfa (lesser extent) are all wingers, aren't they?

Yes, you do know what position Barton plays for us don't you? Er aye, the right side of midfield. I'm sure Ben Arfa, Jonas and Marveaux could all play on the right side. Routledge gone is no big loss seaming as we were never going to play him and he's not goof enough for the Prem. He is a loss in terms of numbers but nothing else. I'm sad to see the back of Nolan but I'm sure with Cabaye and Ben Arfa we have cover for the "hole" Nolan spent most of his time in. Im sure they all could play there, im sure we could play any player there wether or not they are any good is a different question. Going into the season with no proven right midfielder is suicidal. We did exactly that last season. We have players on the books this season who are more proven as right midfielders than Barton was at the start of last season. I'm not saying we don't need a replacement if Barton goes, because I think we do. But that statement is just stupid.

Class

Midfield in : Marveaux Cabaye Midfield out : Barton Nolan Routledge Are we just disregarding Abeid?

That's all he ever does, isn't it?

Bad, but predictable news.

What was he having done? A tattoo, he just said.

Anyone else notice that Shane Ferguson is the only 4.0m midfielder available? Wor Sammy isn't available either, I'm devastated.

Get the fuck in

Next big thing in world football.

Signed for Roma, unfortunately... Oh really? Well based my FM knowledge tells me he'll be a good signing for them.

Erik Lamela. This suggestion is based entirely on FM, mind.
