Agreed, I kept thinking blimey this guy is good looking (no homo).

Jose has essentially gone and signed a bunch of nobodies to justify playing Ivanovic every minute of every game for the rest of the season.

You've said you're going 5 or 6 times now and you're still viewing the thread, why are you pretending you have somewhere to be other than behind a keyboard?

The only explanation I can think for these 2 signings on deadline day plus Moses getting a new 5 year deal while going out on loan again is that Jose is trolling Roman for not splashing the cash on Pogba and Stones.

I might put my boots on and go have a kick around in the park, at this rate I have a good chance of getting signed too.

value: 16.75m if only

Why do you say this like its a bad thing?

I will be gobsmacked if, after they've resisted for so long and publicly told their fans and everyone else that it won't happen, it happens in the closing hours of the window. Strange timing for that Willian quote though, unless it was made a few days ago?

I'm just shocked that the club didn't consult Alex before going ahead with the transfer.

I don't think United really give a f**k about 18 million, but at the same time it was immature and something i'd expect more from a club like Liverpool that are scared about losing their relevance.

I think it's been really good so far, probably better than the main series.

You've been saying this deal + Stones was done last week, I think its time to stop believing whatever your sources are.

If he were a youth player I might understand, but he's 25 in December. I like him as a player I just don't understand why we didn't keep him if we're gonna extend his contract.

His name made me think of this

According to The Guardian he's just signed a contract extention (mentioned in the same article as the Papy guy). Can someone explain to me why we'd extend his contract when he gets sent out on loan every season?

I watched a lot of him back when he played for US Sénart-Moissy in the Championnat de France amateur - Group D, he's a truly world class talent.

Papy Djilobodji? We've gotten so bad at sealing deals that Emenalo has gone and made a player up.

The only other club in the world that might want him and could afford him is United, and no I don't think United were in for him as someone would have reported it given that every attempt they've made to go for a player has been leaked even if it was unsuccessful.

If we aren't bringing anyone else in I can't agree with this decision, he offers a more direct and physical approach than any other winger in the team bar maybe Kenedy who we know little about so far. He definitely could have done a job and its not like we have a deep squad as it is. Also f**k the pikeys.

Of course we can, but unless City (or more specifically Aguero) are hit by significant injuries I think already the gap is insurmountable the way us and City are playing.

He was voted into the EPL team of the year last season, I don't remember many people complaining about him over the last 2 seasons at all.

So Pogba scores 1 in 6 of his long shots and our best long shot taker (Oscar) scores 1 in 18. In that case I stand by my earlier comment.

The fact you feel victimized by so many correct decisions and innocuous challenges leads me to believe you might actually be Diego Costa. (I do love me some Diego though)

That would still be a dramatic upgrade on what we have. Seeing Fabregas, then Hazard, then Willian all pass up good shooting opportunities on the edge of the box last night until Cahill whacked it into row z from 30 yards out was ridiculous.
