Even Metrolink are getting in on the act. They have messgae on the tannoy/speaker sytsem informing us that they welcome Everton on Wednesday for CAPTAIN WR's testimonial. It shouldn't annoy me.....but it ruddy does.

Even they're having a dig at his yachting skills!

Well I've seen it all now! Just been reading about Wayne Rooney tweeting his support for the awful Sir Philip Green. Sod all the thousands who've been made redundant or those whose pensions are now on the line. Rooney's a mate of the odious fat baldy bully!

I hope he got some stick for that, what price those working class Croxteth roots he bangs on about?

At a quick glance only the Liverpool Echo seems to have mentioned this apparent support of the despised Green.

United PR office working overtime again? Imagine if a City player had made a similar comment. I hope that no City player would print 'would of'. Thick as Shit in every respect.

Whats your opinion on the "Eric Bailly snubbed Manchester City" story?

I'd tell you it is absolutely bollocks, outside the probability of a bit of banter between him and Yaya, helping him settle.

I know we were offered him about 12 months ago by Mendes at a fraction of the price United paid and we decided not to go ahead.

Looking at their signatures to ours this window, how have you come to that conclusion?

Looking at their signatures to ours this window, how have you come to that conclusion?

The rags seem to have gone for a smaller number of high quality additions, at least 3 of which will strengthen their starting 11.
Ibrahimovic scored 50 goals last season, albeit in a lesser league. I would expect him to get 20+ in the PL, huge and physically strong he will thrive in the PL. Mkhitaryan is a class act, 2016 Budesliga players' player of the year, he will bolster their midfield and provide more goals. Bailey is a powerful CB who strengthens their squad defensively. Pogba has been our target for a good while to replace Yaya, another quality midfield addition.

We have purchased a number of young players, with potential, but who will take time to develop. Moreno, out on loan. Jesus, excellent prospect, hopefully joining us in January. Zinchenko, seems raw, probably also out on loan, Sane a good prospect but inconsistent.
Gundogan is top quality, our best signing, but his injury record is a concern. If we can keep him fit he will make a difference.
IMO Nolito seems a squad signing, possibly replacing Navas? He seems lacking in pace, but with better passing and finishing.

Overall I feel the rags have added the stronger players for the coming season. Maybe we can get at least another top quality signing before the window closes?
