Berba you beautiful man you.

Looking at this lad looks like he could be a good signing, would love to see him play for united.

Lord TSC

Could Berba not move to central midfield where he could be as slow and methodical as he wants controlling the ball and distributing it like that :P

After seeing that berbatov gif, why did we buy this shinji lad at all?

Presumably because he does it when he isn't playing against a load of rubbish players more consistently, Berba showing off yesterday is being blown far out of proportion.

The thing i see from most of those clips is players were running past him. Allowing him to play those balls. If Berbatov is stuck up front with nobody running off him he will not even try to play like that.

If United could play that way all the time it would suit him.

Unfortunately most teams defend deep and stop United players running into space.

wheres me jumpa

I would echo the comments about the jersey, it looked pretty good on tv / the players. Bizarrely I like the socks. Its surprisingly hard to get decent footy socks!!

This man knows his stuff, as long as Berba had quick players around him, a bit of security behind him I'm sure he could strut his stuff in cm at the very least in the league, would be found out alright in the champs league but in the premiership his touch alone would buy him the time and space to pick those passes, sure just look at scholes sure, he is the master at carving out those few yards for himself and pinging the ball around, no doubt a player of Berba's ability could do A similar job

Cantona's Collars

More sh1te from twitter: "Moura has foregone his signing bonus to help complete a move to United"

Well I was thinking more of an attacking Playmaker role - Sneijder, Riquelme, Kaka, Baggio - what Kagawa is going to bring hopefully - rather than Central midfield playmaker like Pirlo or Xavi.

Samich

Also maybe there are some solid truths about Moura. We were in for Hazard after all and i think Kagawa was more or less tied up way earlier than Hazard.

Ummm, I'd liken him to a xavi/scholes role more than an attacking player as mentioned above, I just don't think he would have that explosiveness in his game :P

Barely breaks a sweat as is!!!!

Marca Brazil report saying Utd representatives were in Brazil.

Also that snake would weigh a fair bit too!

Right so, fantasy football is back and theres usually a United league, I don't see any codes/mention of one so I created one. Anyone who needs the code give us a PM and I'll send it your way.

I'll be up before a judge soon. How dare I remark that a black guy looks like a former United player.
Now I know how Randy Marsh felt.

He's just trying to insinuate that you are making a judgement on racial stereotypes, and that you think all black people look the same, petty but the thread has been like that for a while.

BTW the accentuated cheekbones do make that lad look a bit like Djemba Djemba.

Because about 500 people will be in it then, and someone who doesn't post here will probably end up winning it.

I came in the top 5 last year I think. I'm aiming for the top spot this year.

I would actually rather talk about Sneijder at this rate.

Who made it last year? If they just restart it I think we're automatically all in there...

I was winning the United league for about 3 months until the last 2 gameweeks if I remember correctly, the wheels really came off there

Just to stop the random people, who may either come across it, or someone, who isn't a United fan may join.

And there is a slight resemblance with that fella and Djemba Djemba.
It's not a great lookalike but I doubt he just said it because they are the same colour.
I mention lookalikes all the time that most others don't seem to get.

United representatives met with Lucas Moura's parents & agent today to finalize a deal worth €38million.
Sao Paulo's officials. "We sat down and spoke for a while, it was a really good meeting Man utd are very professional".

Are Lucas's parents and agent not the same?? His dad

Also, are the Sao Paulo officials his agent and parents?

Strange one that!

Anything up from the more reliable Brazilian lads?

Startin to believe this is actually happening. What is fergie playing at? We will have soooooooooooo many attackers next season.


Still want berba to stay. In fact I'd sell Rooney, still haven't forgiven him for acting the bollix and airing grievances in public. Between that and his other indiscretions it isnt the united way.

Al Capwned

Jaysus lads, can we give the lookalike sh1te a rest!

Samich

as I said earlier, we were trying to sign Hazard and the Kagawa deal was tied up more or less at that stage anyways so could well be possible we're spending that amount on a young talent.

@United_CR7 The meeting seems to have actually happened, but São Paulo were not involved in that meeting

Im actually amazed that a meeting seems to have happened!

@jayemufcfeast @erick_ellie I believe it's true, but doesn't mean as much as looks like at first glance because they have met Inter too.

Less amazed now

VW 1

He must not be any good, didn't get in the Brazil team for tomorrow.

Joking aside, should be a good game, lots of our lads to keep and eye on in it.
