Please don't start with daft formations in the twitter thread again. It makes @Raoul very sad.

That's refreshingly honest. Wasn't it Benoit Assou-Ekoto who said something along the lines of him not even particularly liking football, he just does it because he's good at it and it pays well?
Yeah, it was him. I always find this endears me to a footballer to some degree.
Also the last 2 times we didn't win either of our first two league games we went on to win the League and the CL (98/99 & 07/08) (though difficult to win the CL this season as not being in it)
Anyone with a Times sub?
I'd use the same formation, but swap van Persie for Welbeck. That would give us a good mixture of pace, dynamism, power, creativity, goal threat and intelligence among that front six. It really would be excellent.
I think the issue with this kind of formation is our lack of mobility up front. Mata Rooney and RVP are all fairly slow, someone like Welbeck up top to stretch defences and this looks quite good. Can't see RVP or Rooney being dropped though.
Fletch (seems to have lost his engine) & Cleverley / Fellaini (both useless), arent adequate back-up in CM. Carrick's still out & it always takes time for him to get back in the groove after an injury-spell, not to mention - if he can get his form back more importantly.
Herrera's out injured already & if we sign Vidal - who's to say he wont be out injured given his all-action mentality?!
Our CM is an embarrassment for "the biggest club on the world.."
I'd delete formation posts before people get thread banned.

Done
Four days left and where are all the departures we were expecting? At the moment Hernandez sounds like the only one to be leaving.
Not What Arsenal fans want to hear...
Warnock ? Surely they can do better.
But they're still on the books. Fair enough if we'd sold the but we haven't. Rome wasn't built in a day, its going to take time and few transfer windows for this team to progress. It won't/can't be sorted in this window alone. I agree with the need for midfield reinforcements, but I think we need only 1 now. With Fletch, Cleverley, Fellaini providing backup to Carrick, Herrera and hopefully another one yet to be signed.
Well he couldn't exactly say he did it for the weather or to move to a better league etc...
But yeah, you'd still get footballers thick enough to try and spin those lines. I believe in the "The project".
Dig what what saying, but £1.2m is a joke Hal.
Juve's negotiating team must have said "you bought Evra for £5.5m & now he's 33 - so we'll pay a quarter of that..".
By-passing the fact, that Evra was at one stage - the best LB in Europe & would have commanded a huge transfer fee during his plomb. His importance to the club surely commanded a much larger fee that £1.2m, do you not think?
We got our heads around that fee because we all thought it was a sweetner for a Vidal deal. If that doesnt materialise - then we should be pissed-off..

Careful, we're a 'project' now
must be bullshit
Surely we'll finish above a team with Zigic up top? While we possess di Maria, Mata, Rooney and van Persie! Surely?
I'm genuinely asking.

That can't be real...
Ah the excitement of announcing Neil Warnock.
Wouldn't it be funny if they trolled their fans.
"It's not really Neil Warnock! We've signed David Moyes!"

true, but at least ours is "believable". Leaving Marseille for Dynamo isn't quite as believable Neil Warnock? Seriously? The Palace fans will be gutted.
Could have been Moyes though.
, yeah the "Z" and "N" are...quite a bit apart!...unless you have @Colin129 fingers! SSShhhh, don't tell!
Warnock official.
Moyes has proven he is capable of steadying the ship at a small club. What's Neil Warnock ever done?
That's Palace down. Ah well, it was fun while it lasted.
As if our matches with Palace weren't heated enough
They'd take that in a heart beat.
"A strong voice from #Vinovo: Arturo #Vidal greetings. "Sold". I'll be back in two hours."
Not sure what he's really on about or whether he's worth listening to.
Mother of God, it's happening.
Let's hope so
But I can't see Juve selling, or selling cheap! Not at least at the 34m GBP mentioned! @KiD MoYeS

Well translating that google translate, I get:
An important figure from Juventus' training ground Vinovo when asked about Arturo Vidal said "Sold". Momblano Official will be back in two hours to check if he has gained any followers.
