Mehdi Benatia

[Newman Noggs]

Never trust Gianluca di Marzio, never ever, Sky Sport and him are biased as hell, they only speak about Juve-Inter-Milan, seriously embarassing journalism.

They started a ridiculous campaign against us because they know Roma's supporters are shell-shock and nevrotic, they know the team is good, we'll see if better than Juve , and that the environment here is unstable, therefore, they're trying very hard to undermine our image sowing discord whenever is possibile. You can sense we are dreadred, they can't swallow the fact that we're good and stand a real chance of winning this year.

When Juve was after Iturbe, he was world-class, extraordinary skills, unreal potential and so on. Then we bought him, literally filching him from them, and he misteriously became over rated and payed, too risky of a player, he succeed only because he was in Verona, etc..., letting it pass like he was an ordinary signing, I don't know how 22.5 + bonus in cash can be seen as and ordinary transfer in Italy, nowadays more than ever.

Morata, who scored 10 goals in la Liga, is obviously is the next big thing in football just because he plays for Juventus and come from Real Madrid. No one pointed out they used a beggars kind of formula to get him, no one said that If you're the best club in the history of the Italian league, coming from 3 "scudetti" in a row, a buyback formula is unacceptable. Your message is clear "I can't compete", "I surrender".

We have supposedly sold everyone because the players are unhappy, everyday a new case comes up. Benatia, Destro, Ljajic, Pjanic, Strootman they're all gone and we need to always sell in order to buy but no one left yet, they're still there, the rest is crap.

This isn't Journalism, it's misinformation.

Right now Sky sport are saying that MU "is ready to offer € 38-40m", what is that even suppose to mean? Did they offer or not? It's a freaking fax to draw up, I'd say two minutes maxinum and it's ready, it's always ready, the point is "do they want to send it or not?". The funny thing is that at the same Di Marzio, who works for them, is saying "no offer has arrived" and again " Benatia won't leave for less than €35m".

He gave tree different news, he covered every scenario and its opposite, so he can say "I told you", no wonder he gets it right, Sherlock! This is only purpose, he covets glory without deserving it, he wants to be cool but he's lame. What a clown.

The Astory signing is the demonstration they don't have a clue on Sabatini, they can't trace him, he's too good for them.
I really don't care about the player we signed, he's just fine, good experienced replacement, I don't even care about Lazio, I pity them, but the way Sabatini spanked Sky Sports' "experts" in the field is simply priceless. They were gobsmacked when they heard the fact, they were sure he was going to Lazio and he proved them wrong on TV. Then, of course, they tried to flip the omelette in their favor to mitigate the pain.

Today we are chasing Balanta again, he's extra and he would be the 4th lefty behind Castan-Astori-Romagnoli, I missed the part when we were playing YENGA.

It's what we call an agenda over here. Beware though, there will be those who deny it's existence. Just ignore them !

It won't happen, but if we got 30M for Rodwell 10M, Sinclair 5M, and Garcia 15M, we could have a back three.

Just imagine:

Hart
Zabaleta Benatia Kompany Mangala Kolarov
Dinho Toure
Nasri Silva
Aguero

I don't know why so many of our fans are eager to take an attacker off for a defender. Playing a back 3 with Kolarov and Zabaleta as wing backs means sitting a striker or an AM. Our squad just isn't built this way.

A back 3 is an outdated system favoured by some teams in Italy and one manager in the PL who is long past his sell by date.

Why go 5-2-2-1, when backline of 4 is enough, our fullbacks won't be more aggresive because of it. It's just like wasting another space for a striker or attacking midfielder.

Not sure about outdated but a back 3 is what you go too what you are in the shit and when you are i the shit going 4 4 2 is pointless so dont get it

If Ragd do go 3 at the back there will be an awful lot of space down the flanks which all prem teams will be able to exploit - personally i dont think that the Rags back 3 are good enough to play this formation

IMO playing a DM like Fernando already allows our FBs that attacking freedom, why play a redundant center-back too? I also think in a 352 that aims to be attacking your WBs/WMs should have a lot of pace and stamina.

I mis-read this as "if we got 30M for Rodwell". After I had mopped up my spat out cup of tea, I re-read it and realised what you meant.

My Spider Sense is telling me we're gonna come back in for this guy ... a) he looks a top CB .. And b) We dont want rags or Chelsea buying him :-)
