We are going to have to score a few against City, Aguero can make mincemeat out of any defence when he's on form

Hopefully Toure has another off day, getting a lot more frequent too

Plus Falcao could be out aswell.

I'm far less concerned about Yaya than I was last year for two reasons. Firstly, he looks like he is dialling in performances so far this year. Secondly, we have far more in midfield to deal with him this year.

It's Aguero that has me worried.

The thoughts of the pace and power of Di Maria on Bale on the wings is scary but not a hope Bale joins i thought he has been very good for Madrid.

In a couple of years, when his daughter reaches school-going age, he'll more than likely come back to England.

I find it odd that Aguero wasn't hauled up in front of the FA for his stamp the other day.
The statement was that "the referee dealt with it",maybe I watched the wrong game but the ref did nothing at the time.Did his report state "I saw him stamp 2 footed on his opponent but felt it didn't warrant action"?
I thought retrospective action was to be taken if the ref didn't take action for an offense.

If it was Rooney who did it, there would have been an outrage.

100% agreed. Aguero is not a member of the The Rooney, Fellaini, Ballotelli, Terry, Van Persie, Joey Barton and Kevin Nolan easy to slate group

We'll need to do something like this if they go with

Ferdinho Lampard Yaya
Milner/Navas Silva
Aguero

Even with Chelsea at home to QPR, I am considering it. That's how concerned I am.

Hopefully Rooney and Falcao are ok.

Aguero has a nasty streak hes done it twice against Chelsea, in the FA Cup semi final he had a wild two footed stamp on Luiz down his thigh.

Hes probably the best CF in the league but hes got a nasty tendency and hes got away with it so far in England while others would probably have been hung out to dry by some quarters.

Homegrown talent table here, we're up in second behind Barcelona.

City have gotten away with absolute murder when it comes to the lack of punishment of such incidents.

Don't worry, I'll captain Aguero. I stopped his goalscoring run by bringing him in for the weekend so will double up the pressure this week

I did the same thing after swearing never to buy Aguero again after getting stung with him previous seasons.

He always seems to pick up an injury directly after I buy him.

Any way of changing up the Anderson chant to make it for Fellaini instead?
1st or 2nd name could work as they both have 3 syllables and he did a lot more sh!tting on fabregas at the weekend then Anderson ever did?

We should tell them pay the 17m or Fook Off, They always get premium price for the players they sell. We sold them Ruud for 9m which was a joke

They really don't you know, its quite often the other way around in fact, they off load for less then they should, they pay a big premium a hell of a lot.

Only caught the last hour, emotional stuff. In todays game no club could recover so quick, and only a handful could recover from it without it crippling the club, horrible to think about it

Yup, watched it before and there were tears shed.

In a somewhat related topic, I read this article around the same time and found it very interesting, hadn't heard about it before but would have thought there'd be a tighter bond between Real and United afterwards? (as in more recent years)

I support Real Madrid as my Spanish team for this reason, even if I think their transfer policy can be bewildering at times.
But at least it benefited us for a change.

Fellaini ni ni
Doesn't have a dodgy knee
Fellaini ni ni
Vidal no longer do we need
To the left to the right, do the Afro dance all night
He is class with the pass
And he sh1ts on Fabregas*

Seen a few rumours linking us with Virgil van dijk, Aymeric Laporte and that man again, Ezequiel Garay........

I'd be very surprised if we don't sign a central defender in the next window, would any of the above 3 be commanding enough for us ?

Jones, Smalling and Evans just not up to it......

I think it's more a case of not keeping fit than not being up to it.

Evans has shown in the past he is more than good enough.
Jones when finally given a run of games has improved massively
Smalling i seen him Sunday and off the ball his movement and anticipation is fantastic my worry is his ability on the ball
Rojo i am still not sold on

I'm well aware of their fitness problems but outside of that i've yet to see any sign from them that they will develop into the commanding no nonsense centre half our defence really lacks....

Fellaini woah oh
Fellaini woah oh
He looks like a massive tree
He completely bossed Chelsea....

homerjay2005

he's big, he's bad, he's Marouane,
sh*ts on Fabregas, like no man can
with affro hair beware,
try and have a go if you dare.

Just an update on the Bale story,there was a piece on the Clasico on Off The Ball last night and the topic of Bale came up.Seems like he hasn't integrated with the locals at all over there and isn't fulfilling his role with the fans & the media as is expected of players.He basically lives in his own bubble and even admitted that he still finds it difficult to get to the training ground without his sat nav.
Isco has become the new golden boy who is keen & works hard plus he's a local lad & a fan favourite unlike Bale who despite his professionalism isn't a huge hit with Madrid fans due to their perception of him being aloof & insular.

A return to England might not be as unlikely as it looks.

yes i heard that last night too. i have a little bit of insider info as i work in the football world. he is definitely struggling to learn spanish also, utd are the only team i can see him going to and with adidas taking over our jerseys from next season the deal could become easier. i am aware real madrid are adidas too but they could be happy to at least have him move to another club they sponsor.

other bit of news i have is afaik rooney is fine for sunday and that comes from one of the players.

I've yet to see a transfer happen because a club and player share a sponsor.

I wouldn't mind the cost,as I said before,we were willing to outbid Madrid.The prospect of Bale instead of 'Turn Back Tony' on one side & Di Maria on the other would be a scary prospect.

Any word on Falcao,it seems he got a kick but isn't too bad?

Blatter

I also remember reading something a while back in the Telegraph about Bale and his wife wanting to move back to England by the time their two year old child is able to start school.

We need Rooney back for Sunday, he usually raises his game for City. Any word on Falcao?
