Am actually a little more worried about this than I probably should be. Long term it should be in a midfield three with Carrick (or more likely Carrick's replacement) behind him and Schneiderlin or Herrera next to him. Short term it will be in the two of a 4-2-3-1 until Mourinho fucks Rooney off which is a huge waste of his ability.

I just hope Mourinho has the balls to do to Rooney what he deserves, and that he does it quickly enough it doesn't de-rail our season.

Man City have been busy too, Sane yesterday and Gabriel Jesus today (albeit he actually joins City in January). Pep is making some good signings but I still think he needs to sort out the defence, urgently!

On the subject of weird Madrid signings, whatever happened to Royston Drenthe?

Seems a strange decision when your the best player on the planet to quit at just 29. I realise he's lost four major finals with Argentina but the fact is they keep reaching finals and I wouldn't have betted against them getting getting to another, possibly successful final before he hits the downslope.

Possibly something has gone in behind the scenes and he will come out retirement before Russia 2018.

With United news if we bother to deny something you can pretty much guarantee somethings going on. True for you lot as well?

Lot of people on both sides seemingly pouring cold water on the idea now.

Tbf 'Sky sources' could well just be Di Marzio seeing as he works for Sky (Sky Italia yes, but still Sky), couldn't it?

Take out his hat trick against Villa he got 13 in 37 games. Fucking atrocious. Will have a good Euros though, think he fits tournament football.

Upgrade on Giroud as well whose completely fucking average.

This is basically Arsene's last season and I think he's going all out for it. He's talked constantly about South American strikers for the past two years and I think a Sheffield Chav who was playing non-League not too long ago is the closest you're gonna get to a fighter mentality in England.

Also linked with Mkhitaryan, could be a front three of Alexis, Vardy & Mkhitaryan with Özil behind. If Vardy reaches 3/4 of the form he did last season he could get near 20 goals easy. Giroud contributing double digits and however many Alexis can get and there's enough firepower to win the League there.

His goals last season had a bit of variety to them when you watch them back. We played our best football last season with fucking Theo up front who can't control a ball to save his life so I'm not really surprised.

Clearly trying to assemble the worlds most expensive physio room.

Despite some City and Liverpool fans accusations we don't control the press. Not much we can do if someone to do with Mendes decides to leak the news after the FA Cup final. We've kept the English media in the dark since December over it

Woodward went to see LVG last night at his home in Bowdon to deliver news. LVG now on flight to Portugal - asked for club to delay news

All things considered I think we've handled this pretty well.

Poor form from City fans with 3/4 of them leaving during Pellegrini's farewell

To be fair thats probably true regardless of whether we get top 4 or not.

Lol its gonna be funny still not qualifying.

Really got applaud these fascists mind - who cares about the torture when you've got Kevin de Bruyne!

True, I guess. I find Man City more likeable than Man Utd or Arsenal, depsite being funded by a state currently on human rights watch and being run by disgusting people.

Weird how some people want Sunderland to stay up. They played a nonce for a year ffs.

Terry will only be banned for one game won't he? For two yellows.

Are you trying to outdo us in pessimism?

I love listening to United and City fans this season.

Its basically become:
"We're shit"
"We're even shitter"
"And we're worse than that"
"But, we're really, really shit"

Fucking hell, Fellaini gets banned and we somehow put out a worse side than usual.

Resting players when we've still got a chance of top four. Criminal.

If this happens I will be the first to proclaim Guardiola the best manager alive... but I seriously doubt it. I can actually see City struggling for top 4 next season

Another day and Tottenham could have had this game abandoned.

Rose, Walker, Lamela, Dembele and Dier all could, arguably should, have been sent off.

I've long been convinced we'll finish fourth but City will win the Champions League.

Liking this Iheanacho kid, hoping he gets the chance to progress in the first team more under Pep too.
