It was reckless challenge and deserved red card.

I still haven't seen it, but if it was reckless then you would understand Valencia's reaction being a bit over the top on the eve of a World Cup I suppose

Edit: looks pretty nasty from that vine thing, but I will wait to see it properly. No need for that kind of thing in a friendly just before the tournament though

it looks terrible in that gif..

I was watching it on ITV and to be fair they did show other angles which didn look as bad..

and the commentators thought sterling was hard done by..

anyways there both very lucky there will be no suspensions..

Quandary

The tackle was high and he was wildly out of control. Easily a leg breaker if Valencia wasn't able to jump in time.

Valencia's reaction was a definite red.

sterling makes a good tackle gets the ball and gets a bit of Valencia.. a free kick at most... valencia over reacts and grabs him by the throat and they both see red..

Wtf?

Will I Amnt

Valencia had every right to be livid there, you obviously can't be grabbing lads by the neck though.
I'm actually fuming that Sterling could go into a tackle like that in a friendly with the World Cup a little over a week away.
It would have served him right if he snapped his own ankle doing it.

The_Kew_Tour

Just watch Valencia ankle after the tackle is made. Valencia is a lucky boy, thankfully.

Mitch Connor

Del bosque and pique apparently confirming, by accident, fabregas done to Chelsea.

Costa and fabregas, and united sitting on their hands like usual. Fecking insane.

Ye the English commentators and pundits thought he was harsh done by. The World Cup hasn't even started yet and I'm already sick of the english media.

It was a horrible tackle and deserved a red any day of the week. Valencia's reaction was stupid and he obviously deserved to go but that is not relevant to the fact that Sterling's tackle was very dangerous and he deserved to go.

hands up I was wrong.. first replay of it i thought he gets the ball and than gets a bit of valencia.. i've seen the other angles and it's a very poor challenge especially in a friendly..

Rooney playing from the right is an inspired decision. I called it first.

He was wasted out there. He needs to play up front for England. There is no other option imo.

kryogen wrote: »

So does Sterling have "a bit of bite about him" or does he just have "a bit of dirt in him"?

total cowards tackle imo. Knew there was no fear of getting hurt and could have put a player out of the world cup.

Ya i'm sure if the tackle was on any of the precious english players they'd have a different tune. No defence of that tackle, look at the distance from where he starts making the tackle from there to the ball. Token effort to get the ball imo and definitely a red.

Red is fair for the retailiation too imo.

Apparently Pique said Fabregas was sold for 33 Million but didn't mention to which club

Rafael Hernández @RafaelH117 · 3m

Fàbregas is off to England, reports that Arsenal didn't activate the buyout clause. Who signed him? MCFC, CFC and MUFC the main candidates.

Rafael Hernández @RafaelH117 · 1m

Del Bosque was caught on video when Piqué was telling him that Cesc was sold for €33m, everything points that it's already confirmed.

Kerrydude1981

If Valencia tackled Sterling like that the ITV lads would have gone into meltdown mode.

In fairness, he is probably hard at work on some more sponsorship deals, they're the important things.

After his previous leg break on the touchline against Rangers in the CL, Val is probably on edge whenever a tackle like that goes in.
That on top of potentially missing the WC in his home continent probably excuses the OTT reaction.

No, but he could have put him out of the WC

33 Million for Cesc is unbelievable - Chelsea are now just pulling away from us in terms of quality

How Soon Is Now

So who are we signing.........

Is it September yet?

No team re Cesc mentioned but Pique clearly says "He has told me it's already done... yeah, he's gone. 33m, he told me."

Chelsea get Diego Costa and now possibly get Fabregas all for great prices on the same f**king day and woodward is probably in his office negotiating sponsership deals

So what's the excuse this summer? Van Gaal was to busy with Holland?

That and it's a World Cup year, always tough to do deals.

For such a big club, ran so well commercially it really is a farce how we manage the on the pitch stuff.

How Soon Is Now

If it is Chelsea he's gone to they don't even need him ffs. I think what makes it even worse is never mind the fact we seriously need a player or two in that position but he was shown the door we wanted him last year what **** changed?

What is it with United and transfer windows.

The_Kew_Tour

Sure we are grand. Cleverley is still a young fella.

Maybe he just doesn't want to play for United???
You can't force players to come.

Rayne Wooney

It's definitely Chelsea, a few places were saying earlier that the fee was agreed and just personal terms were left

Which makes sense with what Del Bosque and Pique gave away


City and Chelsea pulling away from the rest now IMO

You could try though, you know, make an offer and see what happens and every single indication on this is that united made no move at all.

Yeah and tbh even a few more seem to be even pulling away from us at the minute too...

I would firmly believe we did and were promptly told he wasn't interested, and that it was decided it was better to pretend we didn't.

But I realise that doesn't fit with the idea of Woodward people want to paint though...far better to pretend he is doing nothing...

The_Kew_Tour

This is what you get when you sit on your arse for 3-4 seasons and do sweet FA about problems that are going to catch up with you.

I still think we will do ok in Transfer market though.

Beyond your own internal thoughts, do you have absolutely anything to base that on? All the press and fanzine snouts say united have shown no interest in him, but if you have some hint at another angle I'd love to hear it.

Would love to have something to base such faith on. United seem to be at sea again, already.

I'm actually getting uneasy now, direct rivals are strengthening in areas which let them down last season - United finished 7th and don't seem even close to completing a signing of any real note.

Larry Wildman

Unless Fabregas is coming to us and Woodward has just played his cards close to his chest...

We are being left in City and Chelsea's wake...even Liverpool are strengthening while we just f..k around.

Why isn't the Shaw deal done yet?

Timmyctc

Lads, lads Calm down.

We are Man United..
We don't just sign players......

I still think we will pull out 1 big name and few other decent buys.

I never bought into the Kroos machine and Cesc was never happening imo, so I was never as disappointed as some and still think we have targets and will get a few of them.

Maybe im too optimistic. If its like this come 1st of August I be ****ting a brick.

FutureGuy

Lads, everyone needs to cool the jets about Fabregas. I heard we are getting Pot Noodle as our Official European Noodle Supplier...good times ahead.

Chelsea check where they need reinforcements. They need a replacement for Lampard and a striker.

They get Fabregas and Costa.

Clinical transfer dealing making United look like fcuking halfwits. Again.
