Liverpool constantly brought him back before he had 100% ready and subsequently his body became more and more damaged. I'm not blaming his less than successful spell with us on that fact alone but it did contribute to the rest of his career. If he was allowed to recover from his injuries like most players I do wonder how it would have panned out.

I really wouldn't have made Ronaldo captain, his team mates would feel even more obliged to pass to him. When JT rallies the troops he probably talks about getting stuck in, fight etc, just seems like Ronaldo would say 'I am the captain, you pass to me'. Maybe a bit more subtle than that but his arrogance for me means he's a poor choice for captain.

Oops, my bad! I must admit I just assumed that with no research, backfired...! He was at Barcelona since he was 17 so he would have a lot of emotional ties, even if it's not his home.

He's not as much of a weasel than the smug, arrogant man he replaced though.

Yeah... Let's stop the internet worrier posts please.

Of course he'd like to return, a lot of players want to go back to their home town club. However I'm confident he means in a few years time and to see his career out there, I don't think he's being disrespectful or angling for a move now.

On that, now this matter has been settled, I'm closing this thread.

I don't think any personal interaction between the two would be a part of the official club statement.

Exactly what I think.

I would not oppose this exact response from us. Word for word.

Agree with both of these.That said I can kinda understand the latter considering there will be another film and it explains where he has been for the interim period.

I've never bought into the 'one of us' stuff but I'm not sure what you're basing that opinion on. If it's just a few sound bites then that's fine but I don't think his heart has always been there.

I've just had a quick look at his Instagram account and I'm not sure what posts you're referring to when you state they show he is incredibly in love with Man Utd. I don't doubt he'll have a passion from them and will grow to have a special bond with them too but from his posts I just don't see it.

That was my main concern when he was made captain, he'll get picked solely on that.

Who for though? Who are currently Managerless in the PL? Are Watford still...? Surely he won't drop a league now he's in the top one...? :/ he didn't look too thrilled during the play-off win but I put that down to him immediately thinking about targets for next season.

I read not long ago she only took the role because she needed a new car!

Good shout, I also like TCM... maybe a bit quick with my favourite slasher film.

Wilshere is not only a liability because of his injury record but because of his 'u wot' attitude; he's our biggest risk at playing with 10 men. All this does is reaffirm that if a Manager has his favourites you're not picked on form, why should players even hope? Why dream?

X-Men: Apocalypse. Meh, the last half hour or so saved it. 6/10. Bobby - Friday the 13th is the greatest slasher film IMO, I never saw that twist coming.

What really?! I don't recall that... clearly didn't pay enough attention.

Very much so, no pressure on my team to win it so I can enjoy the football without worrying.

Yay! Twats of fans. Liverpool fans think their club is superior but Millwall fans seem to think they're superior. Clowns, eff off and stay down.

Come on Barnsley, duck off Millwall.

Clearly you don't remember Kevin Hitchcock. Got his name & number on my luminous green & black goalie kit. Trend. Setter.

I'm with Brit, I didn't/don't really have a problem with Torres during or after his stay with us but to then moan about he was treated is a complete joke. All that support and good will afforded to him and we got duck all in return. Perhaps if you were fit to lace Drogba'a boots you would have got your chance, just could not be arsed. Anyway, I don't dislike him but those comment left a sour taste. Feel sorry for Luis who didn't get the support and time he deserved here.
