You are right but in hindsight. When that went through we were dead certain for Jorginho for less money

Truth is this position is extremely difficult to recruit for, particularly for us and the way we play. So I would expect us to pull all the stops, since not only we don't have a reliable backup but there are only a handful of players at the desired level in the world, and even fewer are actually...

Same here, two spares would be greatly appreciated... Evan

Like others say, let's wait and see. He hasn't been with us since he was 5 to be fair, Watford probably felt annoyed when he left them. If he wants to go, the door should be open. We don't want to sound like scousers, with a completely perverse sense of reality where it's ok for playes of other...

BT Sport just cancelled "Is there a particular reason you'd like to cancel?" "I'm a Manchester City fan and I hate Rio Ferdinand"

amusing yet besides the point. is his positioning in free kicks correct?

I love Joe but why oh why does he have to position himself so far away from the middle of the goal when defending free kicks? We seem to be paying for it time and time again. This one that Roma scored wasn't even that good, all it has to do is go over the wall and then he is too far away on the...

I thought I would manage to give this one a miss this year since Goodison park is a right dump But I can't, I'm sick... Can someone magically produce two tickets please? PM me!

Could be worse: we could have paid £28m for Fellaini

Agree! To anyone overly critical I suggest Paul Lake's book to get an insight as to how players must feel in situations like these. Also we bought him because we thought we could fix his chronic problem through complex operations. The jury is still out although chances are small.

Exactly. But he is now 30 so it might be a case of simply trying to get through the demanding league by holding back a little bit. I hope Rodwell stays healthy.

Any videos from the Sky TVs at St Mary's where we were cheering the glum united faces at their home loss vs Newcastle?

Fair enough but note that he was the single DM for Olympiakos and was absolutely brilliant. Greek league not the same obviously, but he can defend if he wants to!

Actually I did but they didn't say anything that everybody has not been moaning about at the Etihad whenever he fails to run back and cover. Also I don't think he is a defensive midfielder, I know so (have been following him since he played for Olympiakos) but has amazing attacking abilities as...

Brilliant However, we do concede too many and I blame Yaya for many of them. He doesn't want to work defensively (which is ironic for a defensive midfielder), especially against 'smaller' teams, everybody seems to be running past him and doesn't bother to run back. So we have people running at...
