Welbecks three years younger, has played at a higher level and probably shown an awful lot more talent than Lallana. In comparison to some of the other fees paid for English players £25m is bang in line.

The Sturridge fees the only exception, but I do think you're using the benefit of hindsight. In reality it was a bit of a punt. Spectacularly paid off, true, but a punt none the less.


Yeah exactly 12 million was a punt, yet you want 25?

16 million is about right for Welbeck

Hes probably closer to being worth it than Welbeck is, but no hes not.

We signed Sturridge for 12 ffs

He hardly is smug as youre implying. All hes saying is Mario knows its his last chance and praising his attitude

Bit a coup for United then, but going to struggle fitting all these attacking players in.. Also, a lot has been said of City and Chelsea buying the league, but aren't United trying to do the same? 40 million for Mata, 60 for Di Maria, plus the likes of Van Persie etc, now Falcao.

Went out the window as soon as he played Özil out wide and started the season with Giroud up top and Flamini as our DM.


So pretty much the same problems you had before you signed Sanchez, right?

Just over 24 hours to save our season.

Brilliant. Wenger is a genius.


So much for this being the season and Sanchez being the saviour then?

Caught the end of the game, did we play a diamond or was Sturridge and Sterling on the wings?

3-5-2

Lots of people complaining about it, but its not really the problem. The lack of pace between Mata-Rooney-RVP makes us easy to defend against, the lack of midfielders (read Fletcher) showing for the ball, and the lack of quality in the wing backs gives the defenders no ability to play our from the back so they either overplay it or hoof it in panic because no ones showing.

I'm really worried about us selling Welbeck, at some point LVG's got to admit that Rooney-RVP doesn't work and drop one of them. Neither of them made a particularly good case for being the one that should stay but at least RVP's touch looked better than league one standard.

Edit: Actually, after mid week most MK Dons players exhibited an excellent touch in comparison to Rooney's today, the comparison is disingenuous to them.


Di Maria central?

Injuries killed Agger in the end, him and Skrtel looked so promising when we first got them. Still remember the 1-0 win over Chelsea in CL semis when he scored, one of the best defensive performances I've seen, marked Drogba out the game. Would have preferred to keep him as back up, rather than Kolo Toure...

Another attacking player, just what Man Utd need.


Well, you know, they couldn't even score against MK Dons..

Probably not if you just ride it normally, more likely if you keep doing accelerations etc.

But why?

Not a bad group for us, should be able to qualify.

But the draw is so shit these days. For one how long they drag it out for. Secondly, why are clubs from the same country not allowed in the same group? I know this has been done for ages, but wondering what the reason behind this is. The TV scheduling rule thingy saved us as well, City and Chelsea being in the second half meant we missed out PSG and Barca.
