For some reason they don't exist on the Shed. But they're "In The Know" and they're on every other fan forum I've seen. They're people with supposed connections to journalists or people with actual information. 99% of the time they're attention seeking idiots who know f**k all, but there are some who have a very high accuracy rate.

They can f**k off. We're not buying Fabregas for them.

We don't need another centre forward. Wingers Roman! To be honest we were always going to be linked with Porto's best players if this happened.

Lukaku could swat Hulk like a fly. That said I agree with your point, under the right management you'd be surprised how a player can be deployed. Eto'o played as a makeshift wingback in Mourinho's Inter.

Supposedly that wasn't even the half of it. He did individual marking reports on opposition players tailored to our own. So the CB's got reports on how the strikers like to operate and move, Drogs got info on the opposition CB's, Cech was even told what corner Owen and Alan Shearer favours when shooting.

He's a centre forward though, I think we've got quite enough and reportedly signing Lukaku on top of that.

Ok apparently its Porto's left back, and he's saying we've stolen their manager but Porto will crack on.

Where's BrazilBlue? :P

Hahaha United trying to usurp us after losing out on Sanchez? Good luck.

To be fair, a lot of us hate those Catalan pratts at Barcelona, but I highly doubt they give a sh*t about us. Not since Jose left anyway.

I supported Ancelotti till the end but his double was the exception, not the rule. Nobody has been even close to Mourinho's success (which was sustained) and he was the last "chance" we took.

Cech is better. Being called Cech from the Czech Republic, how awesome is that really?

BrazilBlue translate plox!!! :D

Harry wants to take on Roman in shady dealings? Wasn't it established that he hijacked a diesel train at some point? Good luck 'Arry!

We've been going with the "safe" option since Jose left and don't have much to show for it. Time to roll the dice.

No need to be thinking about replacing Cech yet. VDS lasted till 40.

@ Gem, he worked under Mourinho at Porto, Chelsea and Inter as his opposition scout. Here's one of the reports he did for us if you're interested: http://www.bragafut.com/artigos/art18.pdf Personally I couldn't be happier about this. My first choice all along. The guy is a managerial phenomenon. I don't care about how weak the Portuguese league is compared to ours, it takes some talent to go undefeated over a whole season, play some astonishing cricket score football and win a quadruple in any league. He subscribes to the "total football" philosophy which Barcelona started with when developing their style, he's worked under the best and he's been here before having fond memories of the City, Club and our players. Match made in heaven if you ask me. I suspect Hiddink has advised this appointment as well since he and Roman seem to talk often. Perhaps Turkey are making it impossible for him to leave at the time being, who knows. Interesting times ahead.

Well if Levy really stands his ground on this there could be some truth to it. Modric is hated by the Spurs fans at the moment for what he said, he'll want to try to repair that relationship if he can't leave this summer.

I've wanted him since he was at Ajax.

I think there's some issue going on about the loan deal of De Bruyne, they don't want prized assets being loaned out to rivals or some such bullsh*t. Anyway when they figure all that out the signing of both of them should be announced.

I saw this last week and didn't think anything of it until now. I thought our press were having a slow day or something but it'd seriously make my life.

Yeah just banter. He's clearly not here on a WUM and even answered some questions on what he thought of Kakuta. Thought calling him a c**t was a tad harsh.

City and United fans are so pissed. Supposedly they both bid more but the player was adamant about going to Barca.

I agree with you Moos. I didn't say it was the right thing to do, just that we're doing it for whatever reason. If it were me I'd let him cover for Lampard as often as I could - but Ancelotti seemed to disagree.

What did you make of Kakuta? "plastic cathedral"
