Halcyon days

 

The fact that there's probably thousands of people on this forum who weren't born when we spending our evenings fighting with Stan Petrov on here is bizarre.

 

Good times.

That free hosted forum was wild.

Coming here and seeing Deano calling someone a c*nt is the least noteworthy thing I could imagine.

6s 64gb,

Aussie dollar being shit means it's expensive as fuck now. About $150 more than the 6 was last year.

Anyway, my first proper iPhone (excluding my 5s work one). Will see how it goes.

This guy.

He could be getting a game at Spurs based on how they've gone this season.

You've signed him based on Rooney's 4 appearances this season to be fair.

How Monaco have got 37m for him I'll never know. They've played a blinder.

How's young Zelalem doing with your lot?


He's looked sharp and has a good pass on him, but we've won 8 out of 8 scoring 30 goals so far this season, so it'd be hard not to look good.

Flown through the first season of The 100 over the last week.

It's awesome. Similar to Lost.

Why are Utd so bad at selling players?

RVP, Nani and now Rafael all for 2-3m each.

The like of Robbie Brady and James Chester are going for about 8m.

His numbers were decent, but he got almost all of them in his first 2-3 months, then did nothing after that.

Could do worse than trying to get Caulker in for 8m.

You really need someone with a bit of experience of England to come in.

Yeah to be fair, net spend is very different.

They've made about 30m in sales this summer already and last summer was about 80m.

He's just doing it to get a reaction though, which is working.

Will Walcott start upfront this season or Giroud?

People on here talk some amount of shite these days.

Di Maria played in his 'proper' position for the majority of the season. Not being able to take a competent corner or pass the ball 10 yards is irrelevant to where he played.

I don't think you can understate how fucking dreadful he was for the last 6 months of the season. At least when Falcao was struggling you could still see he was working his ass off, and it was hurting him that he wasn't performing. Di Maria didn't seem to care.

Look at Mata, he didn't play in his 'proper' position for most of the season, but ended up finishing it being one of Utd's best performers due to him having a good attitude and working hard. Same for Young, Rooney etc.

They could also end up with De Gea changing his mind and signing a new contract.

It's good to see a club making a decision for sporting, rather than business reasons for once. Utd are stronger with him than without him.

Also, if he leaves next season, they have a full season to decide on and sign his replacement, have him in the first day the window opens and go through a full pre-season. Could even bring them in in January. If they were to lose him this season they'd need to rush through a new signing and throw him into the team straight away.

With so many other signings/changes this summer it's important that your Goalkeeper is stable. They've had enough issues with that in the past.

He's a decent striker, but 32.5m is far too much.

That's similar or more than the likes of Sanchez, Costa, Mata and Depay cost.

Utd just seem much more organised.

They know exactly what positions they need and they've just went out and filled them without messing about.

Now they have the chance to sit back and see who becomes available, knowing they have the important ones done.

Very much back to the Fergie days.

Well, the reason I said that is because that's how the cookie has crumbled. I recall Portsmouth being given a transfer ban from signing new players years ago because they still owed money for previous transfers. Watford and iirc a French side, may have been Nantes, had similar bans on signing new players. So, to say it couldn't be enforced isn't entirely correct. However, Barca being Barca, the "transfer ban" they received was nothing more than a registration ban, a completely different punishment altogether. Though, you'd never guess this with the way it's been reported until you read into it properly.


No club has ever been given a 'Transfer ban'.

Portmouth had a registration ban. Rangers had a registration ban. Roma had a registration ban. Barcelona have a registration ban.

Football Associations have no power over whether a company can hire someone or not, only if they can register them.

Many other clubs have had Transfer bans and they've worked in the exact same way as Barca's, so there's isn't 'alternative' at all.

They aren't even transfer bans, they're registration bans.
