Still find it a bit Alan Partridge..

No matter how nice it is, it's still a hotel. It won't have vast suites, it'll be a relatively small space he's in. Cooped up, for well over a year now.

Surely renting a city centre apartment, a house in Cheshire or anything else is a better option? Somewhere you can have your own personal space.

Just find it all a bit bizarre... And not good for your health... which is becoming evident...

The larger suites are 140 sq m. That's bigger than most houses. He'll have plenty of space.
 
God they are hurting - just spoke to my rag mate. apparently the pendulum will wing and when Silva or De Bruyne get injured we will struggle to get top 4!

Silva should have been sent off. They should have had a penalty, we dived and time wasted, our defenders are all over the show and we are all midgets.

I just said did you see the state of the pegs in your dressing room.

THey are really hurting.

On Pogba, exactly. Looks great with the ball but lazy without it. I admit I bought into the hype and saw him play once or twice and a few YouTube videos, so wanted him here. Then I saw pretty much every France game at the Euros and was wondering what the hype was about. He showed absolutely nothing, was even benched and also gave away a penalty in one match. Struggled to show he was worth £30m let alone £90m+.

Souness recently made similar comments on Pogba and is 100% right. Don’t understand why their fans are crying about Pogba being out. They would of been worse off had he played because off the ball he is much worse than Matic and Hererra and it’s a fact that we had the ball the majority of the match. Simple logic really. Yes Pogba might have been more accurate with long balls to Lukaku and big nose but that advantage would be lost with his lazyness when defending. Foden got the better of him in pre season FFS.

Also couldn’t believe the fee paid for Lukaku. I made a post a while back when he was still at Everton detailing his goals and how is a stat padder that rarely scores decisive goals, i.e. the first goal to go up or the match winner and how often he goes missing in big games. Said he would never be world class and some posters were convinced he will be. He is struggling right now with the pressure and it obvious. Kicking out twice (happy to see him escape the ban), getting involved in the tunnel bust up after the derby. He is losing his head. Missed a clear chance against us and assisted both of our goals. He is getting worse and worse. Shocking considering he is one of the most expensive strikers in the history of football.

Couldn’t believe what I was reading in regards to Di Maria when the news broke. They are a joke. Really hope they get Ozil. As you said would be another backwards step. He is yet another player that disappears in the big games and is lazy without the ball but at least he is a big name and will sell shirts!

Just had another look at their squad and they really do have some rebuilding to do. Hopefully De Gea finally decides to leave and move on to better things. Just read Romero wants to leave in January to get more playing time before the WC. Shaw also wants to leave I believe. Understandable as he barely plays and often gets criticized. Looks like Fellaini might go on a free, this was a bit of a surprise but then again it will likely be he last contract and probably wants to make the most of it.

Valencia and Young are both 32 years old. Mkhitaryan can’t get a game and looks to be frozen out. Mata is in and out the team and is 29. Hererra is 28. Big nose is 36. Darmian is struggling for game time and there were rumors he wants to leave too. Martial and Rashford are two young players that have a lot of potential and I feel their talents are being wasted with the rags. If they miss out on top 4, I think they could potentially ask for moves as well. Some players won’t mind parking the bus if it means winning trophies but when you don’t win anything it’s hard to justify it. Will winning the FA cup or league cup be enough to keep them happy?

Another point is which manager would even want to take the job after PEG? The rebuilding job will take a while and they will be expected to win things while rebuilding with an average squad. Can’t see any top manager wanting the job if I’m honest.

I'd have said fat Sam but there's no way he'd leave a struggling club on their last legs for that shite

When I saw that picture of the team celebrating I couldnt get my head around how PEG could hear them at Old Shitford, when our players were clearly getting changed at Hough End.

To be fair, we did time waste. The difference is that we're so much better than them that we can time waste when the ball's in play.

Yeah, I love these claims that they would have won if he was playing. Just like they didn't last season. In fact, last season, they got a better result at the Etihad when he was injured.

Lukaku's problem is far bigger though. When he's got time and space, he's one of the best finishers in the league, but when you play for a top team, you don't get time and space in the box. And that's when his touch of a carthorse lets him down. Players firing the ball into him have no idea whether he can control it, and more often than not, he can't. And that's why most of his goals come when they're already ahead, and the opponents are leaving gaps because they're chasing the game.

I don’t think that’s even time wasting. Surely you can only ‘waste ‘ time when the ball is out of play a la Southampton
