That seems negative. And Garcia is one of the players i would call our weak link (alongside lescott and kolarov)

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Yes, but his weakness is in defence, and passing the ball :)

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Indeed if Sunderland are to pull themselves out of the mire then this is a must win game Dave.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

great decision by ref, Oscar was diving. He might have scored if he didn't look for the penalty.

Well David l thought you was going to stop your players from diving.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

united out of title race now for certain

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

That was the best game of football, that l have seen this season. Its appalling that United players have decided to perform 'diving performances' again.

Its about time refs, got paid for what they achieved Webb had a poor decision day and should have shown more cards.

I can Moyes losing his job this year - Definately wont win the league and aslo might not get into to four - not good enough for Utd.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Well David you are a bloody hypocrite because on one hand you will tell your players not to dive but yet when interviewed you make all the excuses under the sun.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

It is possibly best tottenham game, not best game of all teams.

I seem to remember everyone saying that Man Utd had an advantage, as moyes was experienced premier league manager. Hmmm

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

United fans are used to being involved in Europe, l think they will be unlucky this term. That is what could spell the end of Moyes, who l have never rated as a top manager.

Man Utd are a big club and deserve a bigger manager. Did you see at the end of the game that Rooney went to Webb to complain about something - nothing unusaul there.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

yes, rooney has that habit

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Just got back from OT, I go down on the Metrolink tram and knew it was not going to be a good day when some moronic idiot threw a brick at the tram as we passed under a bridge. I was sat right at the front and there was a huge bang as the windscreen cracked, thankfully it did not shatter. We all had to debark at the next stop and wait for the next one.

TBH Spurs didn't look that good but apart from the first 10 minutes United were dreadful from front to back.:rolleyes:

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Spurs were brilliant, thats from a fan for over thirty years. United kept on doing the dirty tricks as per usual. The only decent player from United was Welbeck.

IF, United dont get into Top Five - then bye bye Moyes.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Apart from the goal Welbeck was poor, the same as the rest of the team, made a very average Spurs side look good, even though United did have nearly double the attempts on goal they never really threatened.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

I don't see Welbeck as the right type of player for man utd. Man utd doesn't need a diver. He cheapens them. A good team does not need that type of player.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Even with his recent goals I have never been a Welbeck fan, he reminds me of the old style players that first came out of Africa 35/40 years ago, very loose limbed, a bit gangly and awkward, some occasional great touches but no real close control to speak of. He stumbles past people a lot of the time. Adeybayor is a similar type of player as well.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

I hope not he is probably 1 of the laziest strikers about.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Rumours suggest they are also interested in Little Pea as well.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

He's better than bendtner 'in the top five players in the world' ©. I think it could be an inspired signing, he'd terrorise the weaker defences and give giroud a rest, I'd go as far as saying he should've been demanded as part of the rvp deal.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

that some figure for a player that isn't playing much for Chelsea.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

He is worth £15 million and no more then that.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

He didn't look happy coming off at Southampton.

I'm not sure about it tbh but Arsenal game would probably be better suited to him than Utds, or Fulhams right now. That said there isn't any doubt he has quality and it'll really annoy Tottenham. Anyway Gary Neville agrees with you...

I wouldn't mind Morata tbh. I'm not a big fan of John Cross, infact I dislike him, he has though written this...

I don't believe theres a deal in place. Morata wants to fight it out and learn at RM, he isn't too bothered about playing more elsewhere but that may change and if it does then Tottenham most probably know he'll follow Ozil.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

You can tell it's a users vote then, Steven Gerrard? Tim Howard? heh. God help us if Heskey was still in the league.

As for Berbatov, stay well clear, brilliant at times but one of the laziest players I've had the joys of watching. It annoys the crap out of me watching him walk around the pitch after the ball for Fulham.

Moyes - Hypocrite, Mourinho too in regards to diving. Infact forget it, all managers play the same card when it comes to diving, then defend their own antics to the moon and back. Pardew admitted Debuchy deserved red, +1 for him, fails to acknowledge Loic Remy throwing himself to ground all the time -1.

The 'hype' was justified at the time, I remember watching him at Latics and he was something special for his age.

A very tragic case with an unbelievable run of bad luck.:(

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Never saw him play, was to young, he was the first player I saw referred to as a wonder kid though, hammers had one around the same time that I really liked called Eamonn Dolan, scored goals for fun in the youth team but injuries and cancer put paid to his career, think he's a coach at reading now, very sad cases of what might have been for both.

Re: Football Season 2013/14 & Summer Window
 

Southampton say ref swore at the player but there is no evidence to back that up. Like the supposed racism towards the Chelsea player, which several microphones failed to pick up, and several other players around the incident failed to hear.

No one is worth that and the most l would pay would be around £25 million.

I only posted because it said "joked". Clarifying that it wasn't serious.

Not sure how much i would pay, but remembering that a good striker is worth paying a premium, given the dross you could buy for £35 million..eg Carroll :D

That was under previous management which also got Suarez for a snip given his current value and praise be to god good old Sam managed to give us back £15 million for the useless Carroll.
