Being serious surely. Didn't even bother clicking any of them links but i'm guessing the general gist is they think he was Belgiums worst player or something? They can have that opinion if they like but my own was he was their best player, don't know who else people could make a case for really?

looking forward to see Ronaldo and Portugal tonight, could be a tough night for them though

Yeah looking forward to that game too.
The Icelandic people are a mixture of Irish and Scandinavian ancestry.

Normally I support Ronaldo, but hope our neighbours north of this island win.

Be nice to get another transfer in, we made a good start but utd need to follow this up now

gosplan

As a neutral, Fell was grand but his inability to contribute as an attacking force held the team back.

From an attacking sense, he seemed like he always does, a bit of a square peg in a round hole.

Saw this morning that 70% of his passes were backwards. That has a place but against a organised capable defence it's not really what you need.

KDB the worst though. Seemed as though he mentally lost it.

That's the thing though fellaini actually created chances and as tsc posted few pages back he created 7 chances for team mates only person to beat him so far is payet.

The greatest thing there is that i don't even think you checked the last one, :pac: no Belgian player had a better rank than 6/10, Fellaini had 6/10

You can't let people judge with their own eyes and opinions, instead you continuously try to force your view onto this thread, using Goal.com and hitc.com (wtf is that).. its ****in tiresome at this stage and you don't seem to get that, its one of the main reasons people don't take you seriously when you post decent stuff here.

maybe its because he is a United player i was keeping a closer eye on him during the game last night and didnt think he was great, maybe he was the best player for belgium and they were all extremely poor

Even though you were watching him you wouldn't have been watching him objectively as you don't rate him anyway. I know personally if I don't rate a player it's very difficult to give credit where credit may be due and I would notice the negatives sooner than positives.

I do agree that Belgium were absolutely awful, they played like a team that never played together before.

I'd be annoyed, simply cause I want that winning mindset at United. But I have a worry that Bayern might be a significantly more attractive proposition for anyone at the moment

I'd say this film tie ins are going to freak out the enthusiasts. Appreciate its commercial, getting some money in etc. And I'm pretty chilled about that sort of stuff, but even this is starting to make me cringe a fair bit.

What's wrong with just spamming a few posters and trailers of the ACTUAL movie. It's not like these blockbusters need actual endorsement by players to get some people going to it. Like who's sitting on the fence about Independance day 2, and sees Wayne Rooney in an ad and goes" having that"

The X-Men one got a tonne of publicity, even if it was "This ad is so bad...". It was all over the internet. So I guess they decided to go with the "No publicity is bad publicity" ideology, and are trying again.

http://sportbild.bild.de/bundesliga/vereine/bundesliga/meine-bayern-geheim-gespraeche-so-lockt-ancelotti-zlatan-ibrahimovic-46285716.sport.html

seems that it is an opinion piece

Translation from Google so bear with it :P

As might even Arnie Schwarzenegger be jealous . So wide and proud to Bayern president Karl Hopfner throws ( 63 ) in the chest when he congratulated about renewals Karl-Heinz Rummenigge ( 60 ) . Hopfner , pure breast technically more of a herring had , if he probably Hoeness again clears well before the next elections in November the place set an exclamation mark .

As Chairman of the Supervisory Hopfner was spokesman of the high-level nine-member committee , wanted Karl-Heinz Rummenigge ( 60 ) extended his contract as CEO ( since 2002 ) to of 2019. As long as most of the players are under contract . A year longer than Captain Philipp Lahm ( 32 ) - one of the favorites to succeed Rummenigge . The could teach him a year yet . If he does not feel himself pleasure , ran two or three years to hang .

The job is stressful. Recently he went to the reserves, as Uli Hoeness failed during his imprisonment. Rummenigge has grown in time. And yet glad that Hoeness is back, that he wants to explain in July after his holiday on the Cote Azur, he again fully engages in Bavaria.

At the moment it is quiet, Rummenigge flew to its picturesque thatched house on the North Sea island of Sylt. But completely off, you can not stop. Especially since the new coach Carlo Ancelotti last time drove back to the house of his wife into Canadian Vancouver - so do not notice that he may threading after consultation with Rummenigge assists a deal that would still irritate him greatly.

As veteran knows Ancelotti that after the final whistle gets going properly at the EC player trade. That it goes haywire. No one can give the guarantee him despite all the assurances that Robert Lewandowski but not go to Real Madrid. And - this is now not a rumor - there were discussions with Sweden live football monument Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Everything cleanly covered through consultants, so there is not too much turmoil, so that the suspicion falls immediately on the Bavaria or on Ancelotti.

Ancelotti had allegedly also tried two years ago to bring Ibrahimovic to Real Madrid. Not because I now for 7000sten time write the story that Ibrahimovic asked the Italian coach during which time at Paris St. Germain, "Do you believe in God" And when the affirmative, the long lanky model athlete said, "Well, then you think yes to me. "There must have been more amusing conversations between the two.

When I visited Ancelotti in February 2015, Real Madrid, he told this story by itself and also said why he has fallen: "Ibrahimovic is a very funny man. He jokes love, like kidding. But the image that people have of him is wrong ... "And then he waxed lyrical:" Like all great masters he is topprofessionell, a Winner type, a fighter. And a leader within the team. I believe that he is one of the few strikers, which likes rather to give a good pass than to score a goal. "

Then he'd yet fit to Bayern. Quite apart, that it is a supergiant attraction would for Munich, for the whole Bundesliga, for the football scene. The team is likely to be robust enough to absorb even a positive madman. They would even all of it also benefit, although he is already 34th

Ibrahimovic himself said recently at the launch of its new Sport Collection "A - Z": "I want to win the Champions League - and soon." Since hardly clubs not remain. Real Madrid will be Sturm Trio Bale - Benzema - not tear Ronaldo. Ronaldo is true even though President Florentino Perez sometimes attacked him violently as solid million guarantee in jersey sales. Perez wants him ends his career at Real. When FC Barcelona Ibrahimovic was, also are there Messi - Suarez - Neymar set. And Ibrahimovic is not stupid enough to fall for the sham of the English Premier League. Where a potential losers (Leicester) can be master - that says it all about the ailing state of the English football culture.

One can only Bayern. Although Ibrahimovic 1.5 million euros net will, mind you per month. Because he finally comes free, would expect that. Rummenigge is then often times need to take along with Hoeness to Sweden in the arm, look after him well. And if you grow this "Lord" over the head, or the age but gnawing at him, it may be that it is quickly gone. Assuming he has won the Champions League. "Then I sit down to rest in one place," said Ibrahimovic - "... where me no place."

Well the tie up with 20th century Fox works, as it does get people talking about United and the film when they do these advert trailers.

Felix Kroos, the brother of Toni Kroos has said Juventus want €120 million plus Kroos for Pogba.

The money is for Pogba to leave, Skybet odds for where Pogba will be next season:
Real Madrid 7/5
Manchester United 21/10
Juventus 4/1

At that price let RM have him, but then it would be nice to get one over on them...

That's crazy money for him. I think Real Madrid would be a complete disaster for Pogba. He's too inconsistent to step into that environment. He still needs to develop but Riaola will just take him wherever he gets the most money.

I'm not too pushed either ways but sames as yourself prefer it to get done or not. I thought he wouldn't be announced until after euros incase of injury.

Why would Alan Sugar care? Are Spurs in for him too?

StringerBell

In so many ways I see Zlatan as a perfect signing, but I would absolutely agree with Adox, if he is pissing about then just move on. No need to get into anything protracted for him. His agent is a piece of work so assume he will be happily stirring things up trying to get a better deal in any way he can from whoever, would be a surprising signing from Bayern unless its true that Lewandoski is off to Madrid.

Either way, if he is coming, brilliant, I'd be genuinely over the moon. If not, grand, move on quickly and don't let him take the piss.
