Even the best at the top of their game make mistakes, see Neuer in this years Super Cup against Hazard.

This could be the blue tinted goggles with which I view everything talking, but without Gundogan, Dortmund are half a side. I think their still missing Gotze and the last few times I've seen him, Lewandowski hasn't been that impressive.

Would rather have Modric or break the bank for Gundogan.

2-0 to us, courtesy of Mata and Torres.

https://twitter.com/TheRealEbouee Some funny stuff. The irony of him playing with Drogba.

Essien and Mikel could be interesting. Will be looking forward to see how much the Bison can still offer.

Overrated and a nutter. We can do better.

It would prevent one of the world's best strikers from going to Bayern or a major domestic rival. Obviously I would love to have both but I was just trying to be pragmatic.

I still think that if he was given a run of games, he would prove that he is still our best no.10. Would be devastated to lose him as on his day he's just as good as Ozil and seems like a lovely guy. If we had to lose him though, maybe a swap for Lewandowski?

I would rank us behind Bayern/Real/Barca, putting us on the same level as Juventus and Dortmund, especially if the rumors about them losing Lewandowski in January are true. PSG I don't think have a complete enough squad but could still easily knock anyone out.

I think there would be a wider range of opinions if the thread was entitled 'Your most celebrated goal (other than the 2012 CL run)?'

I know its only the Capital One Cup but someone needs to put them in their place. KDB/Mata/Willian to shred them.

'What is dead may never die, but rises again harder and stronger'

I suppose he has to find a way to stay relevant, we can't all be the captain of a side in contention for the EPL under the best manager in the world playing like its 2005 again.

100 PL goals? That's cute.

Mata/Oscar/Hazard/Schurrle/Willian/De Bruyne/Lukaku/Lewandowski. Bring it.

I love Big Pete as much as anyone on here, but Courtois is the longer term option and I can't think of any other young keepers around of his ability, if he keeps improving at this rate then he could be the best of all time.Obviously a lot depends on his patience, but when the time comes to let Cech go (will cry buckets), I would personally offer him to Juventus. He's too good to not play for a top European side and him in Italy would help screw over Barcelona and he can play against Rafa's Napoli. Also Juventus have a ton of good players we could have in exchange, I don't know much about them but how about someone like Pogba as part of a swap deal to boost our CM's?

Man boobs aside, can somebody explain to me all the fuss of Januzaj? The guy scores 2 goals against one the worst teams of the league and all of a sudden he's Messi and Ronaldo all rolled into one. Is he that good or is this the usual United media love fest?

Do not want.

Missed the first half an hour, but from what I saw was easily MOTM. Touches of Ronaldo about him at times.

Heard there was a few JM chants from the Madrid fans.

Not a huge asset?

The issue is is that he's a Champions League winner which should automatically put him in line for the top jobs, but at the same time there's a widespread belief that the team just ran itself and all he did was keep them motivated and together, not to mention Barca and Bayern missing just shy of ten million chances/Drogba being the beastiest beast that ever did beast.

All I will say right now is that Schurrle and Willian > Benayoun and Malouda
