Two goals from an offside position is an even bigger farce than City's attitude.

The seeding is based on what the club has done in Europe the last 5 years(and the country ranking is added to it). It's the right way of doing things.

64M for Di Maria???? Apart from last season(where he played more centrally and complemented a class team well) Di Maria has always been very inconsistent. This is a ridiculous fee.

This is such a surreal deal. Rojo is very average and yet United have acted so desperate to get him. Instead of selling Nani, making some money and getting rid of his salary, they loan him out, paying his £5M salary and pay £16M for Rojo!? Sporting is literally laughing all the way to the...

Rojo is a very interesting case. He arrived at Sporting with no credit. Out of favour at Spartak Moscow. Sporting was a sinking ship in 12/13 and he looked awful. Got sent off in the big games. Completely out of sorts. Amazingly enough... he was still getting called up for the Argentina NT and...

Re: Fernando Porto fan again. This thread has been a good read. Some of the things described are exactly why he was somewhat of a cult figure at Porto, while other players were collecting accolades and receiving attention, he was the unsung hero who did all the dirty work. With that said, I...

I am curious to see if Van Gaal will play the 5-3-2 at United. I can understand what he did at the World Cup. Holland have average players and this made the team more compact and harder to beat. Not having the talent that they once had upfront or even in midfield, he made them a tight bunch...

Re: Eliaquim Mangala Mangala might have preferred London(and Mourinho...), PSG(even more money and boyhood club), United(history I suppose)... but he is at City and from what he showed at Porto, you are getting a guy of high character. Hard worker and very committed. Despite not always being...

Re: Eliaquim Mangala Mangala was bought in August 2011 for 6.5M from Standard Liege in Belgium. Release clause 50M. Later it was revealed via the trimestral report to the stockmarket that Porto only had 90% of the player. Additionally commissions paid out took the overall spending to 7.52M. In...

Being a fan of a rival team, it would be like asking you to comment on a Manchester United player, more often than not, even if you thought you were being 100% neutral, your opinions are fueled by the rivaly. I always had that issue with Benfica players, because Ramires and David Luiz for...

Porto fan here. Just signed up to the forum. Long time Premier League watcher. Occasional lurker on this forum. Especially since the Garcia signing from Benfica. I thought about registering then, alerting you to what you were buying, in the end I didn't, but I do now, because I am very curious...
