2012/2013 Premier League Season + FA & League Cup chat

[MUSC4EVER]

So there some PL fixtures tomorrow then, WBA-Fulham and Southampton-Arsenal are the two games on Sky..three games on Wednesday night Newcastle-Everton is the Sky game..

..Also, the transfer window opens as well, What players dou you guys think your team needs?... i think Uniteds squad is good enough, but we might need to bring someone in if Nani goes..as for Swansea..i think we could maybe do with another striker, i know that we have already got Michu and Graham but apart from them we look a little bear in that department..but its not essential..

Ronaldo of course.

But I don't want to trade Nani + De Gea for him... Nani + cash is alright.

Other than that, United needs a leftback/wingback, and maybe a creative box-to-box central midfielder.

 

[Ross]

Lewandoski (I think I spelt that right) would also be quite nice. United have some sort of thing with Dortmund ever since getting Kagawa and there are rumours that we are after Hummels, one of their defenders, as well. Of course a Ronaldo return would be fantastic and according to yahoo, it's £66 million and Nani and De Gea. I don't think that we can afford to let them both go. Ronaldo would replace Nani but we don't have another consistent world class keeper.

To be honest, United doesn't need Lewandowski.

Hummels on the other hand, would be a good signing.

And should not by any means trade De Gea away.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Why would Real Madrid want De Gea if they have Casillas..although he might be getting on a bit!...and swapping Ronaldo for Nani is NOT a good deal!

Nani + a fair amount of money.

 

[Ross]

To be honest, United doesn't need Lewandowski.

That is a good point, we already have 2 world class strikers (RVP and Rooney)

Hummels on the other hand, would be a good signing.

Exactly, we need defenders.

And should not by any means trade De Gea away.

Exactly again. Although, if we can get Begovic, it may just replace him.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

...or we could get Michel Vorm for around £5/6 million..as a United and Swans fan, id be happy to see that happen as we have an able replacement in Tremmel...

 

[Phoenix]

Exactly again. Although, if we can get Begovic, it may just replace him.

Nah, I think United will be better off with De Gea.

If De Gea were to be sold though, I might would have considered Mignolet. He's been outstanding this season.

...or we could get Michel Vorm for around £5/6 million..as a United and Swans fan, id be happy to see that happen as we have an able replacement in Tremmel...

Vorm is also a good option, but i'd rather keep De Gea.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

Id rather have De Gea, alright he is inconsistent but he is still in his early twenties..he'll get better...and Lindgaard is a solid back-up...

 

[m8h3r]

I agree. He has the best percentage of shots stops at the moment. He just needs to improve decision making.

 

[Akmuq]

Just saw that on my Facebook feed. Happy birthday to the most succesful manager in English football.

He's also the most dilusional, disrespectful and hypocritical manager in English football.

 

[Liquid]

Kenny Dalglish?

 

[ASH32]

Kenny Dalglish?

Or Neil Warnock. There are plenty of managers that can be accused of one or all of them things but the game wouldn't be the same without them.

 

[Brend]

I think that a manger who gets away with speaking out of tune again and again is Harry Redknapp.


Don't like that man. At all.

As for United transfers. Why should they get new players or get rid of current? They are winning games at the moment. Why mess up a winning combination? Seems a bit stupid if you ask me. I can't really see Dortmund letting go of Hummels yet. They will only have Santana and Subotic as a full back then. Not enough depth in the position.

 

[Phoenix]

Matchday!

United 1 - 0 up against Wigan, assist Evra, goal by Chicharito.

Why do we have to hear about every goal scored by United in this thread? You don't see me or other members doing that for our favorite teams.

Good game White Hart Lane right now. Tottenham are having to work for this one. Reading is putting so many people in defense.

Is there a rule against it?

I got no problem with other people posting when their team scores.

And btw, if you had paid attention, you would have seen im posting updates for most games, not only the matches United plays.


Edit: 2 - 0, RvP.

 

[Lucas]

Gaaaaaaaal! Ohhh Robin Van Persie!





Haters gonna hate.




Zabaleta, I'm not going to criticize you because you don't score while playing for us, but you always play like ****.

There is no rule against it I suppose. It's just bloody annoying to me as I expect a world class team like Manchester United to score. I don't get overly excited when I see Chelsea score I guess like United followers.

I do pay attention to the fact that other games are occasionally discussed in this thread but, it's the fact that I would guess a good 90% of the coverage is United.

Why watch the game at all, then. I expect a world class team like Manchester United to win each of their games.

That must be because United fans care about their team.

Ugh, why did I even bother trying to get anywhere with this in a thread of primarily United fans. Carry on. Don't mind me.

Might be due to there being many United supporters on here?

As you said yourself, you don't post (that much) when your team scores, while me and some others do when our favorite team scores.

You're wrong, all supporters care about their team, some just show it more openly than others.

 

[Lucas]

I didn't mean to sound rude, I'm sorry if it came through that way for you. I treat United the same way I treat the team I follow all the time. Perhaps I'm more passionate about football when it comes to screaming goals. I have seen a few coverages of english games, and when a goal is scored, you only hear "and he scores! What a goal!", while over here it's more like "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!! CHICHARITOOOOOOOOOO!".

I can think of 1 maybe 2 times that I have given a live update on a goal for a Chelsea game. I really would only say something if it was some awesome strike or awesome finish. I guess I just personally think that for it to stand out enough to post in a thread, it has to be an epic goal.

I can understand and respect that, but like Lucas, im very passionate about my team, and this is one way to express it.

That makes sense. I guess I'm not an outwardly expressing person. Fair play. Everyone has their way of doing things and whatever floats your boat really.

 

[C-ZETA]

Other than that, United needs a leftback/wingback, and maybe a creative box-to-box central midfielder.

We don't need really need a wing-back or left-back, Evra accomplishes that well and gets goals as well. A replacement for him would be nice if Fergie sees Buttner as being too inexperienced.

I agree with the box-to-box mid idea though. We don't really have an 'engine' as such that accomplishes both attack and defense roles and never stops working. Park did that before for us on the wings but we don't have him now.

If De Gea were to be sold though, I might would have considered Mignolet.

We don't really need another goalkeeper at present. Even if we get rid of Lindegaard (I reckon Lyon should have a look at him to be honest).

I agree. He has the best percentage of shots stops at the moment. He just needs to improve decision making.

Exactly. He has saved us in a fair few games.

.

We're only doing it because we have more attack power than anyone in the league, but are about mid-table considering defense at present.

Zabaleta, I'm not going to criticize you because you don't score while playing for us, but you always play like ****.

Disagree. He's done Man City a fair few favors this year.

 

[Phoenix]

That's why I said, if De Gea were to be sold, which I really hope he is NOT.



Edit: 3 - 0, Chicharito!
