I thought 4th was better too, but my rag work colleagues inform me that they had a better season than us, so i don't know what to believe anymore. They're such an intelligent bunch you see, almost mastered walking upright...

Well both clubs won a trophy and the FA Cup trumps the League Cup in all fairness, but on the flip side we got to the semis of the CL while they were knocked out in the group stages plus we qualified for next year's CL but they didn't. Given the amount of money that the CL generates these days I'd say we had the better season all things considered. I'm not exactly wanking off about our showing in the league though because to go almost 6 months without winning 2 league games back to back is poor for a club with our resources, but I never thought I'd be as relieved and happy as I was to get 4th place.

I think most of us would have got more satisfaction beating Liverpool on penalties than a flukey late win against a poor Palace team, whatever the competition.

I'm calling this right now.

DeGea will be sold. 100%. He wants to leave and now with another year of no CL football will go.

There's only one way the rags can sell him and save face.

They'll sign Kaspar from Leicester. The Schmeichel name is the only way they can save face losing DeGea, plus he is a very, very good keeper.


...and Leicester have just signed Zieler this morning.

DDG to leave is a question of when not if. The one thing in their favour is the pressure seems to be off RM to sign a new keeper so I think it hangs in the balance depending on what RM prioritise this summer. If RM end up doing some other big deals on outfield players they may leave DDG for another year! The Bad news for the rags is they are just sitting on a problem and they are not really in control of it. It will happen to them when it happens.

I think your spot on. I said the same on here last week when there was stuff in the papers about the scum and Leicester both sniffing round new keepers.
Kaspar is a shrewd move. It'll be easy for the rag PR machine to trot out the usual bollocks about him being a lifelong fan and dig up baby photos of him with his dad in scum gear. This will placate the rag hoards into ignoring the fact they are selling their best player.

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

United need to bankroll Jose's hiring/Van Gaal & Gigg's firing and need to do so without champions league cash.

If Hart is worth 40 mil based on the Everton rumours, you would assume a younger DeGea would be worth similar.

If they can get Kaspar for half of that, they'll do it.

Of course deGea will say the right things, what do you expect him to say?

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

But but he was born to play for the rags wasn't he?

didn't want him anyway

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Of course you clowns will suck it up .

It's an open invitation to Real to come and get him - just like CR7 did !
