I was all set to get my kiddo a Balo Milan shirt thinking he was going to remind people how great he could/should be but my inner Jiminy Cricket was telling my, "Nah B, don't do it." so I chilled... Got him the Honda shirt too but he hasn't worked out too well but I gotta rep for my fellow Asians when I can...

Speaking of which, wish I could get a Park PSV or United shirt... Sad to see him beset with injuries & having to retire. Dude was a straight warrior on the pitch...

Park Ji-sung the ultimate effort and hustle footballer. Word to James Milner. Park did all the little things most supporters don't realize or appreciate.

di maria signing will be dumb, where does rooney play in a 433? where do the cam's play? 352 is the way to go and even then there STILL isnt enough room on the team for everyone, di maria isnt coming guys lay off it, united need a DM and another experienced CB

Glazers may appoint a director of football to oversee transfer business at Manchester United. [mirror]

Rooney can sit his *** on the bench, thats where he can play if he complains about it. Di Maria is coming bro, thought you'd be happy

 

[MetalMario]

for the fantasy league, i had giroud starting but he's not playing in the game. if he doesnt go in today, does it sub in the first available player that actually played on my bench which was a defender? giroud wasnt my only forward so im good if he were to be auto subbed

if he didn't play the first (very left) player on the bench would automatically be switched in not counting the GK. but he did so he got whatever points Giroud got

I have Vlaar 2nd on my bench so if 2 of my starting don't play tomorrow that'll be nice

also #TeamMario #TeamBalo

Giroud stretched his ankle, Wenger said it doesn't look good.

what's "stretch" really mean? sprain?


regardless...****

Wenger didn't specify, just said stretched.
I would assume that further signings depend on whether or not we make the CL. No Ramsey, Arteta and possibility Giroud is real loss.

Mario's departure will only benefit Il Faraone's scoring numbers. He has best player in Serie A potential.

 

[Thierry Henry]

I would have thrown hands with pretty boy

Don't like the dude but I can't deny his talent,what a finish by Hazard

why? Hazard seems like a chill guy, why would anyone not like him?

Ox stinks

LOL, do you even football?

BTW, this is why I love this thread so much... We can disagree about things like Balo, but insults aren't being thrown & feelings aren't being hurt (although you might be cursing at me via the screen ). Only one cat in here that's ill & we all know who that oompa loompa is...

#TeamNTfootyThread!

Yup, all know exactly who that oompa loompa is

Giroud!!

who?

Nani missed a penalty in his Sporting debut.

Di Maria is coming bro, thought you'd be happy

no

 

[Coupé It]

no

What do you want Soleman, you're the weirdest United fan on here. You wanted Moyes to stay and ride it out and now you don't want Di Maria, wtf man? I'm trying to understand you.

Y'all finished 7th last season, SEVENTH. Y'all have been in dire need of a winger since Ronaldo left. What's wrong with Di Maria?

 

[imasoleman18]

i already said, DM and another CB

 

[AZwildcats]

Just saw the Chelsea replay.... Hazard in the 2nd half. Not so much in the first half

 

[ROYGBiV]

My boys are gonna have a hard time at Sunderland tomorrow 

 

[Coupé It]

i already said, DM and another CB

Alright bro, that'd be great too. But I still don't get Di Maria feedback. I think he's perfect for y'all.

 

[imasoleman18]

with the current roster, i don't think there is a formation out there that can fit everyone in their natural preferred positions more than the 352 and its stretching a bit still

Well Welback is being sold, that'll free up some roster space. But either Mata, Rooney, or Januz are going to have to sit down. That's the way it works. Di Maria needs to be out there.

But god dam, spending all that money on Mata was so stupid and reckless. ****** Moyes

Mata possibly but the captain? nah,that's not happening...
LvG could switch to a 3-4-3 or a 4-3-3 to accommodate Di Maria but that would put Rooney out wide and Utd will probably not gonna get the best out of him there...

Hind site being what it is, United are lucky that Mikel didn't come to the club... He's scored like 1 or 2 goals in 200+ appearances over the years...

View media item 1148212

He wasn't purchased for goal scoring.

He was purchased to be a defensive midfielder to break up play boss the mid.

And in hind site, I would have gladly had Mikel sign for United.

I don't see RVP staying fit this whole season.

Rooney will be main man up front with Mata in the hole.
