Mate texted me when we were 1 down, slagging Obertan off, my response was that he was having a mare, but is more effective down the right, and it doesn't help when **** like Anderson and Gibson are supposed to be supplying him.... 5 minutes later my reply was along the 'I told you so' lines.

Need a new midfield, badly.
No question - and it's not a new thing (though TBF I have more faith in Anderson than you do). Based on who's out there and realistic though, who would you be targeting?

Tottenham have tried and failed in a last-minute bid to sign Sergio Aguero for £38m :mellow:

How the **** does the club have so much cash to spend? If it was Citeh, or even Chelsea, fair enough, as they have that sort of money, but Tottenham?!?

Will be gutted if Torres leaves :(

Think I'll find it hard to support Suarez, can't stand him.
Anybody who bites is another player is a grub in my books. What's his French like? He should go hang out with El-Hadji Diouf, and get some more pointers in how to be even more of a grub :dry:

ENIC's whole modus operandi was to get the club in the Champions League and sell and make a ****load of money.

They've been pissing away huge amounts on fees and wages to get in the Champions League and thanks to Liverpool last season they got in and now their owners want to keep them there. There's no real strategy or plan involved just keep trying and hope something works out.

The whole Levy bs about them being able to fill 60k is laughable as well, the banks are certainly not buying their stories regarding season tickets and their ability to fill and pay off any new stadium.

It'll all end in hilarity. I'll be there laughing at them trying to be a big club. Aguero? Fabiano? Llorente? Heh, **** off.

Heh indeed, my thoughts exactly.

Hoping we make two signings today. Pretty excited.

Think I'm okay with Torres leaving. No doubt he's been incredible for us, but if he wants to go, let him go.

The second being?
Is there a given first? Heard rumours of Adam, Amauri, Carroll, Forlan, and Young. Quite like those players, some more than others, but more importantly, all of them would be a good addition to our side imo.

And Konchesky is out on loan. :cool:

Was assuming Suarez was the first (given he's still yet to be officialy revealed I believe?)

Lassana Diarra and Sami Khedira are fighting for one place at Real Madrid. One of them is likely to leave at the end of the season, probably Diarra, and while not exactly the dream option he'd be cheap, young and a big improvement on what we have.

What's happened to Fernando Gago? The guy was highly rated when he went to Real Madrid, now he just sits on the bench. He's played two games all season. I'm surprised he hasn't moved on.

Don't really know.. he's injured a lot and Real have Alonso, Khedira, Diarra x2 in that position. Probably needs to move on but I don't think I'd consider him as an option for United.

His wages are huge apparently, unless he takes a substantial cut I doubt he'll find many clubs who can afford/would be willing to take him on, and that would be the case even if he had been playing regularly. Shame, decent enough player imo.

Just spent the best part of an hour reading the Torres threads on here

My head hurts. A lot. I did laugh a fair bit though.

But seriously, selling him to Chelsea? If I were Nando I'd wait it out and hop on a plane to Barca in the summer.

RAWK is just about the funniest forum on the internet. The whole place is mentally unbalanced to the most fantastic degree.

Barca scraping by ok without him TBF.
