There's more than 1 Argentinian in our central defense.

If the transfer did not involve Sepp Blatter calling us slave masters then people would be a lot less pissed about it. Furthermore, we were easily one of the top clubs in the world back then and was doing much better than RM, especially when they could not even get past round of 16 in the CL and were busy getting thrashed by some mediocre Liverpool squads while we have just won the CL. Nowadays, we aren't even remotely close to RM. Things and the dynamics between both clubs have changed a lot in the past decade.
Once again, context matters.
Brazil (4): Fred, Casemiro, Antony, Telles
Argentina (2): Lisandro, Garnacho
Uruguay (1): Pellistri
When you look at it from the Portuguese speaking pov, almost half the team now speaks Portuguese.
Ronaldo, Dalot and Bruno is hardly half the team text
I thought the Brazilians spoke Portuguese too? Or some dialects of it ?
Edit: Just saw the white text
Yep! Nani vibes.
Gabriel Jesus has reached Pele levels on this forum, I see
Nani would go for the same money today. Fantastic player who won 4 PL's, i'd take that for Antony. Terrible take.
Who needs oppo fans to take a piss out of our new signing whilst praising our rivals before he even played a game for us ? Eh ?
I hope you stay as a newbie and I’m a newbie myself.
So typical from some fans, u defeating our layers and overrating our rival’s. If Gabriel Jesus was so good, baldy would have never let him go.
He’s going to at least be a Nandayo, please calm down
Nani was PL player of the season in 2011. Robbed by Bale.
People keep going on about how Arsenal got Jesus and Chelsea got Sterling for cheap but there was absolutely no way City were selling them to us.
It reminds me of our current #11
Add Bruno in there and I hope we become the shithouses of the Premier League.

Apologies if already posted, but it's a nice read about Antony and his upbringing in Little Hell, Brazil.
He was destined to be a Red Devil.

Sincerely hope that’s where the comparison ends.
i don´t really get this, i get it is quality. but what is needed is composure and leadership, i think the technical ability is in the team, however, the whole team mindset is just lost, and a 100million signage, that can only fail. because of the price.. i get Casemiro MUCH MUCH more than this, even though he will be a problem to offload.
I also get Eriksen, mostly because i am Danish (Sorry) and that i can see his tactical overview works great, as long as the team is fairly in control, and he is used in his actual place (and he is used more than Bruno as a distributer).
to be honest, i think there are fewer and fewer things that needs to be fixed, Bruno needs to be benched, he scored yes, but he missuses so many chances, and him as a captain just seems plain wrong.
Ronaldo needs to leave, and a better attacker needs to be hired in. IF barca really hates Aubemayang, maybe there is a "cheap" 1-2 year quality striker there. better than what the team has right now. then i think it is mentality.

My favourite is 1:50.
Great goal line clearance!
Stick to Pastry.
Pastor Fred must be over the moon with the amount of NT mates he has around him these days
Now we have that backup keeper, both wings covered, we need a striker. Thought: is the Anthony saga a bit like a particularly well heeled and coarse customer of a second hand shop, who points to an arts and crafts chair the manager is sitting on. ‘I’ll take that’
‘Not for sale’
‘Don’t answer me no. Pack it up. Call your boss. Everyone has a price…’
He isn't far off the same category. In fact, if you believe everything that's being said currently, not sure why you'd either bothering differentiating. They both appear to be scumbags
What does that mean?
People complaining about Pogba probably didn't live through the Ronaldo transfer
That whole thing was absolute nuts. Ronaldo agreed with Blatter's statements that he was a slave, kept going on about how only god knows about the future etc.
We won the damn CL and the next day he was giving interviews about how he wanted to leave.
Ah, so they speak Brazilian in Brazil ?
Day before Rome he told us he was definitely staying and this was his house!People complaining about Pogba probably didn't live through the Ronaldo transfer

our new Nani? lets hope he gets us on our feet
You have to say, since Fergie left basically alot of transfer muppet dreams came true: Varane, di maria, casemiro, falcao, schweinsteiger, sanchez, getting Pogba back when he had already become an established superstar at Juventus... these exotic signings and names were everything the average muppet dreamed of and the type of signings we barely do under Fergie. Casemiro wasn't the first signing since Fergie where people on the caf were saying it feels surreal.
Alot of excitement also with each transfer at the time, you couldn't have known each one of them would be meh (exclude casemiro and varane, we don't know yet).

You are concerned about the teams mindset and instead of signing a young hungry Brazilian International, you want us to sign an undisciplined Aubemayang?
What about Cantona? Rooney? Van Persie? Tevez?
I think he meant there's more than Martinez, because we also got Garnacho.
we had another player with this skill
Yeah and lost him on free transfer
Agree 100%. That's why my argument since the window began was to avoid superstars and make a few shrewd signings like Malacia, Eriksen etc. that can really bring something to the side.
Two 50M mids would've been better than Casemiro for 70M if we just had the planning to target guys like Guimaraes, Kessie, Brozovic etc.
Fecking hell i hope not, then i'll dislike him before he even plays a game for us!
