By Ciaran Ashina Go To PostI hope we keep Matuidi, he's a hustler with a decent engine, and has more good games than bad. Incredibly useful.I reckon he's not technical enough for what Sarri has in mind, but he could still be useful, for sure.
and I can think of plenty of games where he was really decisive. Six or seven competing for a midfield of three is the ideal number
By Bungie Go To PostSix or seven midfieldersgive at least 2 of them to Bungie, you meanies

By Laboured Go To PostSell the fuck. This is your chance
By Laboured Go To Postthat's not a midfielder, that's a god
The main reason why Juventus are open to selling J.Cancelo is because of his really poor attitude: he has had problems with most teammates (including Chiellini) + the coach & his performances in training sessions have been very disappointing. Information from a reliable source.Bye.
By Punished Go To PostLooking forward to watching Evangelion and becoming a weeb.Bye.
Someone do the sums but I bet Torres scored as much in his 3.5 seasons at Liverpool than he has in the 10 seasons after.
Edit: 81 Liverpool, 87 after.

By Punished Go To PostSomeone do the sums but I bet Torres scored as much in his 3.5 seasons at Liverpool than he has in the 10 seasons after.Torres is an odd one in that even at his peak he didn't score as many goals as he should have. I suppose he contributed to the overall attack, but he wasn't prolific in front of goal.

David Villa has played roughly the same amount of games in his career and scored over 100 more.
By batong Go To PostChelsea legend
He didn't live up to his price tag but he did end up playing key roles in us winning two European trophies so he was not the worst transfer we ever made.
The Portuguese press is getting ridiculous now. Record claims that Real Madrid offered 130M€ for João Félix but he rejected them because he wants Atlético.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, right.

Apropos
By Cleff Go To PostTorres is an odd one in that even at his peak he didn't score as many goals as he should have. I suppose he contributed to the overall attack, but he wasn't prolific in front of goal.He was surely prolific at Liverpool, just very injury prone (then lame in his final half season).

Didn't have a great Atleti record but then they weren't a force back then.
By Cleff Go To PostTorres is an odd one in that even at his peak he didn't score as many goals as he should have. I suppose he contributed to the overall attack, but he wasn't prolific in front of goal.He had a slightly underwhelming scoring record before joining us considering the hype around him when he was 18-21 years old (40 in 120 iirc), one amazing season in 07/08, then a couple seasons of constantly returning from injury. Then a pace-e/affecting injury at the 2010 World Cup that combined with the shitshow that we'd become and led to his form and confidence tanking, which he never recovered from.

Villa undoubtedly had a better career, was at his peak for much longer, better in the build-up, much better for Spain in a two and on his own, so I don't think it can really be argued that he was the better player all told. For that debut season though I think Torres was the best number 9 in the world. Just makes me sad to look back on his career really, despite the decent enough trophy haul. You can tell by the way he talks that he's had to come to terms with the fact that basically half his career was a waste and an exercise in frustration.
Sturridge has gone the same way unfortunately, though with him it's an obvious case of injury completely robbing him of his physical gifts.
I have infinite love for David Villa, one of the most clutch mofos in football.
United turn everything into a SAGA
By KidA Seven Go To PostWhich United bro is going to do our chores? Someone has to post AWB news.
United turn everything into a SAGA
By n8 dogg Go To PostAproposI suppose the post Liverpool years skews my perception of him. He fell off a cliff at 27/28 ala Rooney.
By KidA Seven Go To PostI like the new raf simons SS collection
It’s nice. I haven’t followed fashion for a while, just too poor
By Oddinho Go To PostIt’s nice. I haven’t followed fashion for a while, just too poorI'm basically online window shopping right now
I'm a broke ass student
If any of you guys genuinely believe AWB won't be a United player this summer I don't know what to tell you.
By Kidjr Go To PostNo body needs a strikerI would take one. Well a winger/forward at least.
Carrasco was an idiot to move to China at 24 years old. Now he can't get out of his contract and is missing out on high class competition.
By Ciaran Ashina Go To PostBye.It would certainly explain why we're selling him after one season.
Never heard about these rumors, though there was talk about how he apparently isn't the brightest flower in the bunch.
Welcome Trippier.
Man, The Athletic is not fucking around. Sam Lee, James Pearce.. I assume there is a big name journo from the other top clubs switching over as well.
Yeah probably not the smartest move to use that emoji lol
At least Kean did it himself, no idea why our social media department would willingly take the risk

By Meier Go To PostI expect like most venture capital funded media entities they'll be 'restructuring' within a few years. Like the pivot to video.
