I can see Zlatan playing the Van Nistelrooy role.

Always around the 6 yard box with no chasing back.

Will be perfect for him.

no chance of ibra being like van nistelrooy, totally opposite players, ibra will be doing stuff like this from outside the box...

Zlatan will be hitting thunderbastards from 30 yards and we will rejoice

I see Varane is out of the CL final and possible euros too. Will Jose really take the risk on an injury prone cb ?

Cant wait till he hits the winner against Arsenal and celebrates infront of Arsene!

From what I remember he's had two knee injuries and a few thigh strains

Can anyone make a realistic XI for next season without including players that are currently at Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich or PSG?

Also, bear in mind Griezmann is close to renewing his contract

DDG
Darmian Smalling Bailly Shaw
Weigl Herrera
Mane Rooney D.Suarez
Martial

That's four first team signings which might be a bit much. Could just sign one of those wingers instead of two and play Lingard more. Buy Bolasie if Mane isn't available.

Martial is a better striker than a winger imo and I'd rather have him there than Ibra. Martial, Rashford, Rooney and Mata is four players for the two central attacking positions, with Martial and Rooney able to play either role.

In reality I think Jose will have Schneiderlin or Carrick as first choice, so wouldn't be buying a DM; will probably keep Martial out wide, and so buy a CF; and may well sell Mata. I really don't like signing Ibra, but Jose is the manager I would trust most to get him performing and behaving.

So Jose has just left his London house in suit and tie.

Sky have neglected to clarify the colour of said tie.

Gutter journalism.

It is pretty desperate but in their defense, they are desperate. There's nothing happening in the world of football.

I was referring to their failure to mention the tie colour as gutter journalism, not the fact that they were reporting his well heeled departure!

Lets hope Memphis puts those words to action. Easier said than done. Its pretty obvious it's his attitude causing issues, not his talent.

The comments under that tweet are gas:

• @SkyFootball this is getting close to harassment now lads
• @SkyFootball wow, what colour are his shoe laces?? I need to know!
• @SkyFootball What the f*ck is wrong with you? This is pure stalking
• @SkyFootball Breaking News! Our Sky sources say that Jose has gone for a piss & chose a cubical over the urinal. What's he trying to hide???
• @SkyFootball *LATEST NEWS* - Man in a suit. 😂

Never seen that footage before - cool

I had an exam the following morning which curtailed my celebrations that night (still managed to knock over someones pint when the equaliser went in and was busy arguing when the winner came :-)) but that made the session the following afternoon all the better.

Glory days

Greatest day ever of the greatest season ever!

Christ that's hard to watch. It's like someone is showing off that they can record on 2 cameras simultaneously, and switch between them. Must be gonna use it as an audition for editor on Fair City or something. They'd get it too

Its cup final day on his football manager save... he only popped out for some snacks.

castletownman

There is a certain irony connected to Sky's pursuit of Jose considering his "voyeur" comments towards Wenger (and the subsequent fall out) a few years ago.

Kerrydude1981

My plan fell into place a day late

Hayley is on SSN and Jose is confirmed as manager :D

The backroom at SSN, having planned to milk Jose until tomorrow, are scrambling now to find something to fill the rest of the evening.

"Gaitán lads, he hasn't been linked with United yet this year has he?"

Amazing on Sky Sports.

Sky announce that he's officially announced. Then in the same segment say that they've had no official confirmation from the club.


They are the biggest BS artists since Brendan Rodgers.

Delighted with this news, the Sky Italy guy who maintained all the long he'd be the next manager, fair dues to him! (DiMarzio). Roll on next season!
