  1. We are going to struggle to find goals with Costa gone mate and fail to beat top sides......wait
  2. Morata Hazard--------------------Pedro Alonso-------Bakayoko-----Kante----Zappacosta Rudiger-------Luiz------Azpilicueta Courtois Batshuayi, Remy, Willian, Musonda Jr., Fabregas, Drinkwater, Moses, Cahill, Christensen, Caballero @True BlueYeah depth is sorted. Hope the media continue to put us in 'crises' mode like they did last season. Puts the pressure off of us.
  3. Drinkwater sounds like a very humble person from his interview. We now have 4 proper CM's. League winning CM's. Not too bad. Morata comes in for Costa Bakayoko comes in for Matic Drinkwater comes in for Chalobah Rudiger comes in for Zouma Christensen comes in for Terry Caballero comes in for Begovic Ake, Loftus-Cheek, Aina, Out Zappacosta, Musonda Jr. In Not by any means a travesty. Definite improvement in some areas, but depth is still very thin. Going to be asking a lot out of Musonda Jr and Batshuayi. As Liquidator hinted, this will take a lot of pressure off of us.
  4. If Roman sacks Conte, it will do so much harm for this club going forward. Players are now rejecting us because of our reputation, now elite managers won't want to come here after Conte's treatment. I would have a tremendous amount of respect for Roman if instead of sacking Conte, he looks at his board, because that is inevitably where the problems truly lie. If that Llorente rumor is true, Conte will lose his hair. Again.
  5. Don't know how true this is or if it is a wind up, but apparently Llorente didn't reject us. It was just that our board were negotiating prices with Swansea, to which Spurs came in and paid what they demanded and got on with it. If so, I wouldn't even blame Conte if he walked.
  6. He's ready. Played a full 90 for u23 and was pissing about
  7. Who'd have won the Ballon d'Or if Messi and Ronaldo weren't alive?

      Viva la FCB

      2013 I would have had Ribery win it.

      I'd go with Cicero's picks tbh. Maybe switch Ribery with Robben in 2013 because the Viva la FCB fan says so and he probably knows Bayern players better.

      I'd also go with Cicero's selection although I would too have Ribery instead of Robben for 2013.

  8. And? Romagnoli, Criscito, and Bonaventura were not called up as well in spite now being better than their counter parts? Zappacosta has some of the best stats out of any wing back across Europe last season, and a definite upgrade on Moses. It's not even remotely funny how I can say with exact certainty that if United signed Zappacosta, you would be absolutely wanking over him and posting rubbish such as, Chelsea got the L on this one. Zappacosta>>>Azpilicueta
  9. And people laughed at Alonso as well. Never has been called up for the Spain side yet is the highest scoring defender in the world since he's joined us and just recently scored a brace against Spurs 2 weeks ago. First full year back in England and already has a league medal compared to Herrera who's been here for 4
  10. I'm saying why didn't we go for him initially?
  11. We have our own little Teso's too His versatility is what Conte has a boner for. But if we want a RWB, why not go after an actual RWB?
  12. Hilarous to think our board preferred to go after Ox initially. A more expensive option and not even a fucking RWB. HG quota my arse. How many players on loan do we have to fill that?
  13. We currently have only 17 players. How the hell do they expect Conte to compete at all fronts with that?
  14. Wing Back situation sorted hopefully. Now a CM, ST, and potentially another AM
  15. The inevitable Rahman/Papy panic stop gap signing. Lovely.
  16. Strikers I'm happy enough. Llorente could be a great game changer and Batshuayi is also a great alternative. Wingers i'm 50/50 on. When teams target Hazard, who else is the creative spark? Pedro can bang in a worldy now and again, but he isn't nearly as influential as Eden. Willian really isn't even near those two in terms of production. Midfield, I'm satisfied. Drinkwater will surprise a few I feel and if he's happy with the limited role, only better. Wingbacks is where we failed miserably and fingers need to be pointed as to why this wasn't addressed. Defence is solid. GK's is Solid.
  17. This is most likely our team for the season Morata/Llorente/Batshuayi Hazard/Pedro/Willian/Musonda Jr Bakayoko/Kante/Cesc/Drinkwater Alonso/Moses Luiz/Cahill/Azpilicueta/Rudiger/Christensen Courtois/Caballero/Eduardo
  18. Happened in the show. He explained it to Bran and Meera. The children of the forest saved him from turning over by stabbing him with Dragon Glass. Also told Bran (when he saved them) that the three eyed Raven sent him. Bran told him the three eyed Raven died, to which Benjen replied 'You sent me'. Giving more indication that Bran (along with getting young Ned's Stark to hear him) that he can alter the past.
  19. He was stabbed with Dragon glass when he traveled over the wall to prevent him from turning into the dead. He can no longer travel back to Westeros so he's made it his duty to kill as many Wrights as he can and answer to Bran, the three eyed Raven.
  20. Benjen calls to the three eyed raven, just as he had done before when he saved Bran and Meera. Most likely Benjen was called upon Bran to save Jon.
  21. Since Herrera has joined United, League titles Hazard - 2 Herrera - 0 Yup. He sure got owned
