By FlutterPuffs Go To PostTransfer window is closed.

We are fucked.

I can't believe you guys haven't made a single move. You have a thin squad, about to be in Europa and are already flagging. You are in desperate need of attacking quality. Fire or keep Van Gaal it's a mistake.

By Wedward Go To PostKallstrom played well for us.

165 minutes of brilliant football.

Keeping Van Gaal is a terrible mistake but Manchester United are fixed on the idea that they are a different club and that things should be handled differently. A couple of seasons in Europa League followed with the loss of a couple of sponsors and they will quickly lose that notion.

Wouldn't give LVG anymore money to spend anyway.

Although I do remember Triple Wood saying this...

Labyad : “Actually that’s a reason why they brought me to Fulham, because I like to play football,” he told the official website. “Especially combination football, that’s the main thing, not just kick and rush!

“I’m an attacking player, I’m a creative player, I can score goals, and I’m a team player."

He is only been at Fulham for a few hours and he is already deceiving the fans.

yeah, we seem to think we are still special

lets be honest gaal probably thinks he will just walk into the europa league and win it based on being manchester united

By LFMartins86 Go To PostClosed in Portugal as well. The oficial press release from the Portuguese Federation will be out in an hour… Still wishing for a last minute deal.
Ahahah, the names that were supposed to be near a closed deal with Sporting were Quaresma and Luiz Adriano for a loan until the end of the season. Why do I still believe were actually able to get a good deal in the final day? It's always the same bullshit.

Luiz Adriano is a good player so don't knock him, but there is no way Milan would loan him out.

By rossonero Go To PostLuiz Adriano is a good player so don't knock him, but there is no way Milan would loan him out.

That's my point. He would most likely wreck the Portuguese League but there´s no way Milan would loan him and we wouldn't have the money to pay even half is salary.

You sound like a person that lacks #Principles. Whoever we give the manager's job to will become Sir Alex Ferguson if we give them a long enough contract.

Spalletti asked every Roma player to write out their best line-up

Spalletti ' now nobody can complain if they’re left out…’

Megamind indeed

Imagine when Giggs is manager. Players will be bought by the level of hotness of their wives.

Sassuolo just sold their two topscorers, Floro Flores and Floccari.

they're sitting pretty 3 points away from a Europa League seat, what the hell are they thinking?

scum pls

Final list is out. No new striker for us except Barcos. Such a stupid, stupid move today. If Slimani gets injured, our season is over. Fucking transfer window.

By Woodenpapangus Go To PostWere those two really their top scorers? They're shit. What about Penalty Berrardi

yeah! One scored 4 goals (lol) and the other one was on 3 (loler)

Penaldri is on 4...penalties I think.

everybody is chipping in with goals it seems, and they're better for it! Who would've thought they'd be this high in February

Really weird, Spalvis confirmed he had been there for several days checking the city out and so on. Must be really disappointed he is now staying in Denmark.

Word is that the deal was probably done but for next season. We were after a few players but only closed a deal with Barcos for now. We could have a decent squad but we are very dependent right now on Teo Gutierrez getting his head together and focusing on the club and Barcos getting used to a higher tempo after being for a season and half in China and not playing for a couple of months. At least this means that Ruiz will be playing more upfront (which suits him better, in my opinion) and Carlos Mané stayed to play as a second striker and a winger.

Are you Tottingham in disguise?

Berardi really hasn't scored from open play this season?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyFMVjPhl9o

By JesalR Go To PostAre you Tottingham in disguise?

Maybe. Should ask Eric "Judas" Dier about that, although the club is very different right now that what it was when he was around.
On the plus side, we at least made some savings on wages and got double what we paid for Montero plus a striker.
One of the highest paid players (which was stuck on the B team) went to Fulham, Oriol Russel to Vitoria Guimarães, Tanaka back to Japan.

Help.

By Hitch Go To PostBerardi really hasn't scored from open play this season?

1 from open play, 1 from a set piece, and 2 penalties. And this is in 1068 minutes.

Mimmo è morto.

Fuck off you cunts.

Berardi was injured the first game of the season, rushed back, injured again. Then had a three game suspension, but because of a game being postponed and the winter break he didn't play for over a month I think.

He is 21 years old and having his first difficult season.

Get your digs in now before global domination for Juve/Italia starts again.

Arteta to United confirmed

So Sterling won that battle

Like Newcastle dodging relegation

Sporting KC have loaned our 18 year old CB Erik Palmer-Brown to Porto for a year.

Hope they take care of my fetus :(

Pep and City can fuck off

Man that Bernie Sanders speech was touching, I hope the dude goes all the way. I have been a BIG fan of his ever since I first saw him on Bill Maher about 3 years ago now.

Anyways lads, I have some updates on premfaces.com, we're now at v3. Here are the changes:

+ Added a new contacts page, if ever you guys need to reach me whenever to request new features or report a bug
+ Added new social sharing on the details page per Premface (kept this as unobtrusive as possible)
+ Added commenting on details page per Premface (no sign ups, woot)
+ Added a new layout which includes DIRECT image linking and IMG image linking (this was a request from another forum)
+ Added a counter on the new layout page to display the amount of Premfaces in total
+ Added a GUI indicator on successful click during copy (click the copy icons to see what I mean)
+ Added a compatibility module list (Unfortunately Apple does not support copying to clipboard on OSX and IOS, sorry bros)
+ Every Premface is now automatically reduced to 100 x 100 during upload
+ Every Premface is now hosted on premfaces.com, we'll never lose an image again

v3 essentially provides me with a great engine to build upon. The possibilities going forward are now much better now. I'll try to keep it as close to the original concept as possible. The short list to do is as follows:

- Fix new layout so as to display newly uploaded premfaces first and oldest last
- Fix homepage so as to upgrade the to the new layout (as seen on All Faces page)
- Fix details page so it looks less wonky tonky (both on mobiles and desktop)
- Fix Search page to include further "Top Premface X" modules

All in all it's shaping up nicely I think, I thank everyone here for their contribution for making premfaces.com something it's become.
