Great striker. As classless as a pig in a gutter.

Fellaini is being played simply because he offers more physicality in the middle of the park than Herrera. But I do not understand why Fellaini is preferred to Herrera when United plays the 4-4-2 diamond. I mean, Afro guy then plays as a clueless right winger who cannot cross or pass or keep...

Jones is not that good a header of the ball, so it is not a huge loss. But I have absolutely no idea why Rooney or even Di Maria is not taking the corners.

Alba and Busi just lol max this match. And huge mistake from mats. But that is what happens when you start him against big team without match time. Pique should have started. Bad decision. I hope we improve in second half. It is great game though, was fun to watch unlike malaga one.

Couldn't help laughing for this injury news bit. Hope he recovers soon though. :D:D

The injury does not appear to be a long term one. He should be fine in time for the inter milan match. We could have seen Vermijl if he was brought along. Now, I guess Valencia at rwb again.

I dont think Vidal will wait one more year under Lolegri :D He would have wasted one more year of his prime. But that would also act as a strong argument against him going to United seeing as how they cannot offer him CL either.

Song might not be a fit for Barca. But how would he fit into an EPL side, say Man United? What are his main strengths ? Is he a cdm near Mascherano's level?

Rudi Garcia. That guy will be a great manager if he continues the amazing work.

Arsenal sorta looks like a poor man's Real Madrid. An abundance of attacking talent in and around the box but no real striker to speak of. But whereas Real Madrid finds ways to score, Arsenal is yet to.

I agree with you. Just saying that there was no clear challenger in italian fooball except juventus and that would have been broken only by a rich owner's entry. It would be great if teams build up from the bottom and challenge from the titles.

The Asian market, will be fickle. United is popular in Asia mostly because of its success in the EPL. When that begins to go down, a major source of commercial revenue will begin going down.

The gap is too big now as it is. Juventus has romped home thrice now. Nothing short of sugar daddies may make Serie A competitive again.

I was afraid that this summer would be a make or break transfer window for us. Even now, I guess the Glazers are not ready to spend more than necessary after this summer is done. I really hope I am wrong though. And like you said, I hope Woodward does not flex his muscle and break the world...

Maybe he will get fed up of the club and sell it to someone else. But no one is ready to invest in the Serie A right now.
