He was absolutely incredible for us, for the first six or seven months. Just as good as he was at any point for Arsenal.

People have short memories.

I don't think so. The season where he got 15 goals and something stupid like 16 assists in 27 games was incredible. Considering he was surrounded by shit most of the time it was a magnificent feat and you only have to look at him then compared to now to see that he's far more limited as a player now than he was back then. Maybe to do with the system he's currently in, or maybe that was his peak.

He was the perfect number 10 then and could win a game at any point, I reckon if you put him back there he wouldn't perform as anywhere near as well he done then.

Fabregas has regressed so much overall as a footballer since he left Arsenal. He was the best no. 10 in the World when he left us now look at him.

Hate card gestures. Shocker it's from Pedro.

Never understood the taboo nature of it. What's wrong with wanting to get another player on the other team booked if you feel they deserve it?

It's not that, he was shit under Moyes as a striker and shit in Fergie's last year as well. Suggestions that his less than professional off pitch lifestyle might be catching up with him.

Tbh, even when he was frequently scoring goals it was often remarked upon how poor his all round game had gotten. If you remember back to the Moyes era his decision to renew Rooney's contract was hugely divisive.

If we are going to splash stupid money on an English forward, I think I'd prefer Berahino to Kane tbh.

It's not just the last Fergie years etc, he was pretty much second fiddle for a long time. The one season where he was the main man he got like 27 league goals. Never got near that total with CR7 & van Persie where in the side

I genuinely thought Rooney would revert back to the 25 goal season form. Being second fiddle for so long obviously has had a massive detrimental effect on him. If I was United I'd go all in for Harry Kane in all honesty. He hasn't scored yet but he'd be perfect foil alongside Depay & Mata.

Would love Mourinho to fall out with Abramovich. Not just because it would mean that an amazing manager would be gone from our rivals, but it's closer to the fact that Jose could be face-down at the bottom of a ditch

I find Monk very likeable but he's got Spurs/Liverpool written all over him. What he's done with Swansea is pretty good.

I'm really worried that we're relying on a player in Wayne Rooney who is finished at the top level.

There's been plenty of positives so far this season, we look a hell of a lot more solid at the back and the midfield looks compact and solid too, but I think we're going to really struggle to score goals.

I still rate Rooney very, very highly. Keeping him up top and him scoring a goal will kick start his season imo.

Their attack is miles ahead of the rest, add KDB in the mix and it's ridiculous.

Just got back from the game, that's two opening games I've been to and we've lost both. Not as bad as the Villa game though.

Don't think I should go again

Wilshere could be out for months if he needs surgery on his injured ankle, apparently caused by Gabriel in training.

So it begins.

While on the subject of the Oystons, do they really have much money? Because they can't even afford glasses that fit right. Looks like some sort of creepy cowboy (Don't sue me)

Game created a completely awful strategy guide for FM and was charging people for it.

Fantastic bought it and posted it here for free.

He also pretended to be an Arsenal ITK and said we signed Rooney, Higuain and Fellaini.

We raised money through re-developing then selling on property and also from turning Highbury into flats. I think Wenger could've invested the money we had more wisely into players but I think we got good money for pretty much all of the players we sold apart from Cesc really.

Didn't help that Cesc fucked off to the Spanish GP & went on strike forcing a move though meaning we got a lot less than we wanted for him. I think it was all to accelerate the minimising of debt. We've got some really big commercial opportunities coming up though so it'd be worth it in the end.

We've had it quite hard in comparison to the likes of West Ham paying essentially fuck all for a stadium they won't be able to fill.

Move to the Emirates.

Or finance the Stadium in the way they did.

We had to move it was just a matter of when. If we wanted to progress to the next level in terms of stature there's no chance we could've stayed at Highbury.

We got no help from the government and the stadium cost was £430m. We got £100m from Emirates (15 year deal from 2004) and was only getting around £13m a year from Nike since 2004 on a 10 year deal. We also had to regenerate the surrounding areas too. The only way we could fund that was by spending as little net profit as possible each window whilst simultaneously achieving CL football each season.

Thanks to Wenger miraculously keeping us in there with shite like Denilson & Djourou being played over the years, our debt is a lot more manageable now and we can afford to spend 60m each season with our new commercial deals like the Puma one which gets us 30m per season. I'm guessing once the Emirates deal ends we'll also be able to get a large amount from our next shirt sponsor. So things can really accelerate in the next few years to help us progress to where we want to be, which is a Bayern Munich-esque model.
