Rene Meulenstein is an absolute spoofer. He should stick to what he is good at, and that's coaching developing players. He has no business being a manager at the highest level and will absolutely relegate Fulham.

That is all.

Whats that got to do with the January transfer window ?

As regards him having no business being a manager, could you also give me some numbers for the lotto?

Cantona's Collars

Ryan Bertrand gone on loan to Villa from Chelsea.

agreed cock sure for a guy with no experience. He is banker to take fulham down.

Careful you'll upset the united faithful.

Saw this doing the rounds on Twitter. Apparently Remy Cabella's dad is saying that he'll join Newcastle...

Don't know who this fella is. Any football manager enthusiasts care to tell me how great or otherwise he is?

attacking midfielder ,he was linked to United in the summer .I have only seen him a few times .He has been a regular in their team the last 3 or 4 seasons including the year they won Ligue 1.
Any word on the fee?

Napoli sign Jorginho. €5.5m for half now & another €5m to buy the other half in the summer. Compared to other fees paid so far in January thats an absolute steal. As a Milan fan i'm raging at that.

Lacina Traore to Everton, hes huge :eek:

Steal, been watching him for a few months as I wanted United to sign him or Nainggolan and to see both move for small money is annoying.

Don't get that one. He won't play ahead of Lukaku and he's not going to be joining at the end of the season so little point in grooming him as a backup.

considering Everton only have Kone as back up to Lukaku,he should get plenty of game time.Kone is injured and they have no other proper CF its a good move for Everton .

Kone and Jelavic didn't. Lukaku is usually a good bet to get the 90 minutes.

Kone got a few 15-20 mins for them before injury,I think he got injured after about 6 games so hard know how he would ahve been used.
Jelavic started the first 5 EPL games,didn't score and didnt get much of a look in since.Hard to give lads time when they not performing/injured.

Everton need a striker with Jelavic gone and Kone out for the season,Traore should get plenty of time they have no other recognized CF ,they would end up with naismith or miralles if anything happens Lukaku.I think thats one of the main reasons Lukaku usually plays the 90mins.

Wasn't aware of Kone's injury for some reason. Still think that with the likelihood of them losing Lukaku in the summer they should have brought someone in who could have feasibly replaced him next season as I don't see that person being Kone next year.

Saw that earlier, can't see Guarin getting into the Juve team and Inter shouldn't be trying to get a 30 year old.

It's turned into a bit of a soap opera. Apparently a deal was agreed but Inter cancelled it due to a furious reaction from fans on Twitter and now Guarin has refused to leave the Juve offices and has threatened not to turn up for training at Inter on Tuesday...

Seems a bit of a bad deal to me anyways, guarin seems highliy rated and vucinic is what 30?


Bastos has joined roma also, him and naingollan are good signings.

Moneymaker

More tidy business from Roma after the additions of Strootman and Ljajic in the summer. Rudi Garcia is doing some job there.

Paully D

Sunderland had agreed a loan deal for Bruma, who then went out and got injured and is out for the season.

That just sums up our season to be honest.

Guarin is an awful, awful player. No idea why Juve are after him.

I wouldn't say he is awful, on his day he is capable of winning a game single handedly but the problem is he doesn't do it enough, for every good game he has 4 or 5 where he is nonexistent. I agree with you on not knowing why Juve would want him though, they have much better players already.

I know, just busting your balls!

I'd be surprised if he does go to Utd, in this window anyway. I know Jose says United are out of the title race but signing Mata might give them the kick up the ass they need.

Haha! I don't see it happening myself either to be honest! He didn't want Arsenal to have Ba as he sees them as a rival! Don't see him letting Mata go to Utd either!

racso1975

Chelsea don't need to play Utd but Utd have to play Chelsea's rivals. So he could do himself a favour by by strengthening the utd team in the hopes they might get so points from Chelsea's rivals. Plus he off loads a player he does not seem to want and gets good money for him.

I would be fairly surprised if it did not involve another player going their way in the summer but that is just pure speculation

This keeps getting mentioned, but I don't see the logic. Sure it might help him for 6 months, but then from next year you've basically given your best player to a rival. Doesn't make much sense to me long-term.

Yup, can't see it happening myself.

Even if United get Mata does that really answers the issues in the team? He's not the type of player they need at all in my opinion. It screams panic from Moyes imo

Ozil didn't answer our problems, we were still absolutely right to get him. Same applies for Mata.

Never really been Jose "3 Year" Mourinho's priority though.
They manage to win the league this year it'll be all about the Champions League next year, then a year of moping and complaining and then he'll sod off again.


Or maybe he'll leave after 2 years to replace Moyes. :pac:

When have Chelsea ever thought about the long-term though?
