I think i'll just keep countering them

Because you don't have a leg to stand on.

You completely ignored the second part of my post too, which supports my first statement even further.

I have 2 legs actually.

Good one!

Now, with your failed attempts at humour out of the way, perhaps you can actually try and answering my questions. That is of course, if you are capable of doing so.

I'm guessing the next transfer related post will be on page 50

I'm very capable of doing so.

You said that Ronaldo is a liar, i then replied i had no idea you knew they guy, basically saying, how would you know? you then came back to me asking how do i know he isn't lying? well i don't, you don't know if he is, and i don't know if he isn't, we are both just having our own say.

Ofcourse footballers lie, everyone in the world lies, i do and so do you, and we all work for money and would jump at the chance to earn more doing the same thing, but like i've said previously, Ronaldo has a strong friendship with SAF, has said it many, many times in interviews etc, IMO he is not lying about that, and why would he? you can sit there and say, "Does he give a s*** about frienships?", well, would you sacrafice a good friendship with a good mate of yours because you're greedy? friends are a huge part of life and anyone that says they don't care if they lost good friends or anything like that are kidding themselves.

Edit: Still waiting for the reply Cruyff14, but that is if, ofcourse, you are capable of doing so.

I would like to see him prove that.



EPL is different to CL. EPL defenders would just happily chop him down.

How long would it take for people to accuse him of being a diver?

 

[Tulip]

Sneijder rumours ended by his agent and AVB. I'm not even holding hope that they are bluffing. Can see the likes of Townsend and Livermore moving on loan in January. Cant see anyone major (Eriksen or Willian) signing, probably go for someone like Ince or Atsu to provide cover to Lennon and Bale. A shame we haven't been linked with any strikers who could really push Defoe and Ade for a starting spot

Zaha is the player we're after to cover Lennon and Bale. Lennon has been quiet recently, think he's being overplayed. Townsend will surprise a few people when he gets regular game time.

He is a bit more of a media darling than Ince hence United and City now being linked. With the right coaching and good game time I think Ince would be just as good an option. Would like to see Townsend get given games in early Jan to rest Bale and Lennon from time to time before going out on loan to Arry at QPR

As soon as he tumbles once. By SAF as well.

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

Would only sell one of them, which would be Welbeck. Been thinking about it and Rooney is very likely to become a CM, has said it himself that he may have to play in midfield later in his career. RVP and Lewandowski upfront with Rooney and Kagawa supporting, and Hernandez on the bench.

Maybe something like:
-----RVP---Lewandowski-----
-----------Rooney-----------
----Kagawa------Cleverley---
-----------Carrick-----------

 

[HolyRioli]

Kagawa us not a wide midfielder. He plays where you have Rooney. Also, I'm pretty sure Utd were struggling earlier in the season with a midfield diamond, and picked up when you reverted to a more traditional 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1

Prefer Ince myself, but thats just whats being reported

 

[kane249]

I don't think he would want to go to PSG but if they coughed up the cash he could be convinced.

I wonder if United get any profits from future transfer for him?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/8094720.stm

The transfer was unconditional, ie no buy back clause or sell-on clause either

 

[jd2010]

I cant see how Lewandowski will fit in.

Maybe a front 3 with RVP and Rooney playing just off him in a 4-3-3. Kagawa - Carrick - Cleverly as the midfield 3 would be rather weak though. And I'm not sure how RVP would go not being the main man

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

He's a CM in a midfield diamond, not a wide midfielder. And we have had both success and failures with this formation. We surprised Newcastle with it by beating them 3-0 and then had some good results in the Champions League too, especially away against Cluj. And then there was that time we played it against Braga at home which didn't go too well so we went back to our traditional shape. Yeah CAM is Kagawa's preferred position but he played in CM against Newcastle in that 3-0 game.

I think he'll just be happy to win a trophy.

 

[jd2010]

I think he'll just be happy to win a trophy.

I meant in terms of playing style. Playing as say a LW or LF instead of the main striker might quell arguably the best striker in the league

Is that official or just speculated?

I didn't read the article I'm on tapatalk but you did post the gist of it.

 

[Magma]

one thing i completely forgot about ronaldo was if he was still listed as collateral by that spanish bank.

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

Yeah it can happen and his goal contribution might fall. But i think the quality player that he is, he'll always be up there in the goal scoring charts if he's playing somewhere in the final third of the pitch. If all 3 strikers start in a game, then another option would be something like the one you mentioned earlier:
-----------Lewandowski---------
-------RVP----------Rooney-----
Both RVP and Rooney would be like CAM's or CF's but would create slight width, if necessary, so they operate in those channels like LAM and RAM respectively or LF and RF respectively. None of these players are wingers and their goal scoring skills would go to waste if they are played there anyway so that's ruled out. But ultimately IMO, we'll play something like that earlier formation i mentioned if we get Lewandowski, which sounds like bs anyway.

 

[SuperCats9]

If we do get Lewandowski, then some players will have to be sold.

OUT: Nani, Welbeck, Bebe, Macheda.

IN: Lewandowski.

 

[Magma]

links between us and villa seem to be growing, same with a 12 mil bid for paulinho. both would make me please. you can never, ever pass up an opportunity to pass up a star like david villa, especially when your strikers aren't being clinical. with mario especially being phased out and dzeko not being able to play in our system, villa and silva linking up again would be more than handy.

 

[Cooldude]

Don't think Villa would fix any of City's problems, they need some genuine pace out wide

 

[Magma]

a striker with villa's ability would definitely help. we've had more shots than united this season. about 30 in fact. we're getting the chances and not putting them away.

 

[chef]

Chelsea being linked with Álvaro Negredo, Gommis and Schurrle(again) with Falcao looking likely to stay with AM for the rest of the season.
