Mate, it's the argument that Arnautovic can be racist even though he's friends with Balotelli. This line, look I have a black friend I can't be racist, is often used by racists.

It's not about you, it's about Arnautovic

He’s stating I’m using an argument racists use.
 
Report him if you think so but you're not reading the whole post. He's talking about the relationship between the two players and how it's used by racists in an effort to prove they aren't racist (my best friends a xxx) therefore it isn't a good example to cite.

Don’t worry, reporting it is the first thing I did. First time I ever reported somebody in over 20 years on the Caf.

Exactly, but racists use it about themselves. Your citing said example as a third party and it's clearly no reason to believe Arnautovic is not a racist and totally invalidates your point. That's why they said it was used by racists. You're outside the scenario.

Guys, chill out and leave this thread for a few days. There's going to be a huge deal made out of our loss and there's no way FDJ won't know about it. Let's be surprised if he indeed decides to come but I think there's very little chance of that happening, especially after today. Let's save ourselves the inevitable heartbreak.
 
I can see the RedCafe clique is out in force. Spin what you like, I know exactly what he meant and he does too.
 
You’re implying I’m a racist, and now your trying to spin it as if you didn’t…
Literally 5 posters have told you the same thing - I did not imply you were a racist. The conversation we were having was about Arnautovic. NOT about you. I implied he is racist and tried to make a point that even though he might be friends with Balotelli, that doesn't mean he isn't a racist.
 
I'm not sure he would be able to dribble like that in the Premier League. Only De Bruyne can do it.
 
We’re not in a position to mess about a few mill. Honestly not Barca either but they dont seems to give a feck. Just pay up and move onto the next one please.
 
After pulling umpteen levers and spending a huge amount of money, they still couldn't beat a Rayo Vallecano team that finished 4 points above the relegation zone last season.
 
The mods have got a lot of clearing up to do in here tonight.

Anyway FDJ was busting a gut to make a good impression tonight, which he did as a sub, and I don't think the intended audience was us or Chelsea. Barca would be mad to let him go with him desperate to stay. They should be looking for any financial path that doesn't necessitate selling him.

I'm still dreaming about him joining us, he'd be hugely influential, but you can understand his reluctance more than ever tonight.
 
His supposed doubts in coming here are well justified.
You'll arguably be the best player at the club and you'll be tied down to a 3 year contract to a club that still seems in complete disarray, playing under a familiar coach who may not even be here come the end of the season, because that's the kind of club we're now.

I would try and stick it out at Barca and see what comes up in January.

It will take a bit of time for all the new pieces of their jigsaw to fit together.

Exactly, after all the players they brought in, that was a horrible home unveiling. They should have won that game easily. They got out hustled.

I think we passed the point where it's only about a couple of millions a long time ago. United doesn't play the CL this season and there's absolutely no sign they'll be able to compete this season, it's going to be about far more than a couple of millions.

Well, if thats the case then move on to other alternatives. We need a new midfield, a £100mill investment in our midfield to even challenge for EL spots. There are atleast ten other players that would improve our midfield, Tielemans for one.

So far I have an average of just over 50 posts a year. Which it is safe to say would rule me out being in the clique, if there ever was such a thing. There is also no reason for me to choose sides.

When I read the post that seems to have upset you, to me it clearly was referring to Arnautovic and not to you. Surely if everyone else saw it that way, maybe you was mistaken?
 
Ahem...You wouldn't be part of this clique without me. So I better be part of this as well :D
I mean we played such a great con game, barely interacting with each other over so many years to keep the clique secret, but he still read us like an open book
