Great play by United against Celtic the other day, Berbatov was amazing

this,Berba and obertan were epic.we went off the hinges a bit when scholes went off,Gibson has the creativity of a hula hoop.delighted to see welbeck and cleverly back aswell.they will get plenty of game time this year

Obertan was ok but still no end product. I'm not really complaining, I know it'll come, but he is very raw. Welbeck will prolly go on loan, most likely S'land? But yeah I was very impressed with Berba, looked like a man on a mission. Looking forward to see Hernandez join up with the lads later.

[dR3]

Well fuck Arnesen and his transfer politics.

[Sleepy]

Looks like balotelli is signing for shitty .another case of fergie afraid to get the checkbook out for a great investment.we are fucked if we dont sign a midfielder so maybe fergie wants a midfielder

atm,we only have scholes,anderson,fletcher.Gibson wont cut it,carrick is abysmal:his mind is so slow.couple of promising young lads like Matty James(wont be this season as he is gone on loan),Tom Cleverly(scored the other day,should get first team chances) and Paul Pogba looks amazing(imo,should at least get a place on the bench in the carling cup,he is only 16 but he is absolutely wonderful.Tall,strong,quick,very good passer of the ball and very good feet)

Hargreaves is gone,very good player but i think he should retire.

[dR3]

So a player who grew up a Chelsea fan and helped us secure our first ever Premiership trophey which was a first leauge win in 50 years is a Cunt? Yeah i cant agree with him wanting more money etc but REALLY?!?! I suppose Zola is a Cunt for leaving when he's contract was up aswell then?

Relax dude, it was a joke.

Well fuck Arnesen and his transfer politics.

Yeah fuck him for not giving in to the demands of someone who only played a handful of games for us last season..fuck him for being part of trying to make us a profitable club in a fit state so that when Abramovic does leave or passes away the club can continue to operate in a healthy state...fuck him indeed.

If he is that good, why bring Benayoun?

[Sleepy]

its either city or united id say.Its looking very like city at the moment,great signing for them if it goes through.i suppose no one can compete with their money.hasnt Yaya toure become the highest paid player in the league haha.he is good but nothing special at all

Liverpool have also made 2 good signings in Cole and Jovanovic

Sir Alex Ferguson insists he will not make big summer signings at Manchester United

Sir Alex Ferguson has given a clear indication of his readiness to start the new season without further additions to his squad by insisting he is happy with the business he has already done in the transfer market.

Sir Alex Ferguson insists he is happy with Manchester United's squad ahead of the new season

While neighbours Manchester City are set to take their summer spending to £77million with the signing of Lazio full-back Aleksandar Kolarov, Ferguson has invested just £17million in defender Chris Smalling and Mexican forward Javier Hernandez.

Ferguson admitted recently that he pondered a move for Spain forward David Villa prior to his £34million move from Valencia to Barcelona.

But despite the lack of a big-name arrival at Old Trafford since the end of last season, Ferguson insists he has no fears over United starting the campaign with his current squad.

He said: "I can't speak for other clubs, but we're comfortable with squad we've got. We've bought players, in terms of during the season, and we are quite happy with that.

"The players have been great, they have been putting in some really good work (during training in the USA). It's now we're seeing the benefit of our work. It's really bringing us to the right level we expect of them."

Fan-fucking-tastic

i dont believe him tho

Firstly its a joke that makes you seem like a Arsenal fan who mindlessly hates upon any player who leaves for another prem team regardless of past, so really joke is on you.

No joke is on me, I wasn't hating on Joe. Stop trying to turn things around.

Secondly because as much as i was against the signing to it works on many levels. Yossi will be a utility player who will mainly make sub apperances and appear in times of injurys while also keepin costs low. It will help bring in the youngsters which is something Carlo is very known for.

You'll see that almost none of the youngsters will play a full match this season.

[dR3]

Anyway, we need a creative player, we only have Malouda. Lamps didn't do very good last season, I don't know what to say about him.

And I want to see Kakuta playing next to Drogba instead of Anelka, but I don't think it's gonna happen.

[dR3]

I know he scored 22 goals, but he wasn't that good on the creative side. If you know what I mean.

[dR3]

I meant I want to see great and creative attacks. Not just pass the ball and score.
