Re: The generic transfer thread

Tbf Dani Alves is only a 'full-back' because the team sheet would look weird otherwise.

1994 was the one I loved - no home nations bollocks, players still vaguely unknown. Lovely. Stuff.


Leonardo's elbow on Tab Ramos. :shock:

Winston Smith Dani Alves joins Juventus

Denis Suarez goes back to Barcelona to replace him


Isn't Suarez an attacking midfielder?

TBM and as for taking a corner - that's hardly rocket science.

Re: England - the future....

Oh and why the fcuk is Harry Kane taking ALL the free kicks, corners etc?! He needs to be in the box - i mean its not as if we don't have other players who can't deliver a decent ball into the box Quite. As Ray Wilkins (I think) said yesterday - so what he's our best set-piece taker, get our second...

Italian 90 was great for everything except the football. :shock: Cameroon's shock win over the Argies. Francois Oman Biyik. Cameroon defenders trying to cut Cannigia in half.

Re: England - the future....

“If you play with them both through the middle with Rooney central as well you can’t defend the wide areas. There were some moments where you might be right and Kane and Vardy were a little too wide but their job is to split and come together at the right times. If you play with a man in behind the...

Re: England - the future....

Rooney was the best of the front three because he was the only one played in something resembling his normal position. Hodgson had clearly asked Rooney to push on, which, with the added defensive responsibilities on the Portugese full-backs, had our two centre-forwards (and they are as close to a ce...

Re: Euro 96 v Euro 16

The simple truth though is that we played well in the 2nd half against Scotland, were excellent against Holland and very good against Germany in the Semi-final. However the opening game against the Swiss, the 1st half against Scotland and the Spanish game were every bit as *dull & uninspiring* ...

Re: Euro 96 v Euro 16

On the subject of the OP, I wondered (stupidly really) if there was anyone who had survived from the '96 tournament, to make it into '16 (maybe a defender who was 18 back in 1996 or something). Answer was no. Indeed there is only one man in the named squads who played in Euro 2000, Tomas Rosicky. Ik...

Re: England - the future....

Media saying today that Rooney will be playing off Kane tonight in England's likely attack for the Russia game. Which either means no Vardy, or Vardy shanted out to the wing again.

Please Roy, prove the doubters wrong this tournament. Show people you get it.

Re: We're ManchesteROFL United, we do what we want

No Fixed Abode The media love for Mourinho is back to full scale. They seem to have got over the fall out from the Caniero debacle.

How long will it be before the media start to hound Jose again.......


Probably in about three weeks when Caneiro's case is heard and more details emerge.

Re: The generic transfer thread

Moves that apparently will scupper a potential transfer of Thomas Vermaelen to Liverpool, the defender less likely to leave the Nou Camp if chances of playing time increase.

Re: We're ManchesteROFL United, we do what we want

Well, he would still get game time but might not be an altogether bad thing if he's not 1st choice striker just yet. We don't want England's most promising young striker for a decade or more getting burnt out through overplaying. Just a thought. Mourinho is still a total Cnut though. Absolutely agr...

So then why not increase the rating of friendlies, to make them more relevant, rather than making them totally irrelevant?

I wonder if Mourinho's uselessness with young players will have changed. "Will Marcus Rashford build on his breakthrough season and feature heavily under Jose Mourinho." Ink not yet dry on his contract, and the Indy reports Jose Mourinho identifies Real Madrid striker [Benzema] as priority...
