I put one in quotes the other day and it showed up too. I thought in quotes it doesn't show up...the caf is broken

Ah, thanks, I thought it has something to do with my age, you know, old and not computer savvy, so this means I'm not old
Leaving the wealth of options and quality in midfield that is Matic, McT, Perreira, Fred and Longstaff?
It would be suicide. Even if you keep Pogba and bring in Longstaff I still think we are short a proven midfielder given number of games next season and managers preference for high intensity pressing.
I am starting to wonder if Dybala links picking up is the reason for briefing about Bruno not being a priority.
Would love to think you could fit both in the same team but our board wouldn't sanction that kind of move in a million years.

I guess you'd be happy scrapping for 4th spot!
Most fans were happy to get rid of Fellaini, but now they want another version of him in Milinkovic-Savic? Makes no sense.
So 2+2 = 4
Juve don't want Lukaku, they want Icardi and for as little as possible. Conte has demanded Lukaku in and has "bomb squaded" Icardi a la Diego Costa. Juve feign interest in Lukaku to force Inter to get on with it and thus weakening their own position with Icardi even further, Juve swoop in and get him for a song.
First time i've seen anyone suggest they are similar.
It's a ridiculous comparison too.
They're both strong CMs who can act as target men. SMS is the fat better passer and more useful in the final third, but Fellaini does far more work off the ball and can be a genuine box-to-box midfielder.
Well, we can't all be football experts of your high standard. I'm not the first person to notice the similarities, by the way, but we all must be stupid, so what does it matter?
so he's like Serbian Anderson? Do not want
This is a football version of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream but a nightmare instead.
Dybala, Maguire, Bruno... have the muppet gods finally answered caf's prayers? Should we be ready to pull down our pants?
probably not
probably not
I just think it's a bit disingenuous to suggest he's like Fellaini just because he can control a high ball. He has got far more to his game on the ball than Fellaini. His passing game is better, he has a better shot, dribbles better.
He is our most talented player and has bags of ability but for me at least he has never been world class, consitency of performance alone is nowehere near good enough to be considered world class
Exactly. I dont understand the love for SMS. He's a big lump that you need to use as a Fellaini.
Because what he has done for France is completely irrelevant to club football, he is a club record fee and a very talented player........and bar two months, has been at worst awful and at best good in 70% of the games he has played for us.
I hate the fact we spent so much on Lukaku who was never going to be a great striker for us in my mind when we signed him, Pogba could have been a great player for us, but regardless of those around him he has been nowhere near bar the odd false dawn.
You say a once in a generation talent yet look at our best cm Keane, Robson, Scholes, he doesnt deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as any of them, not even Ince. All fantastic players FOR US and remember Robson was surrounded by mediocre players most of his career too.
So I am more surprised people talk positively about Pogba when he is a record fee and a hugely talented player.....that has been generally pretty damn average for us for the vast majority of his time here
Although I completely agree with you.....I would far rather we took £55, or whatever they are offering and reinvested than still have Lukaku here. I hope Juventus are serious about signing him as Inter just dont seem like they will give us what we want
Is very much a rough diamond but I think he has great potential even though I get what you are saying. In todays market £36m does seem a steal to me though
Although didnt really end well with either I think both Heinze and Tevez were fantastic players while they were here myself
This was my original point re: Moise Kean. He's scored quite a few already and will now be the focal point in an Everton team with Ricarlison and other skilled players around him. I think he'll score quite a few in the PL. 20+ might be pushing it for this season. But with the right service (Zaha?) Who knows? Everton will be much stronger this year.
No one tell Juve Ronaldo does well with a 'pivot' who can control the football.
Sir Ed Woodward doing beautiful, beautiful things *
* I still don't believe a word of this, but its a lovely daydream. Imagine going from accepting a lowball offer from Inter to getting Dybala
Would we want someone who needs to be pressured to come here? Is this not Di Maria again?
We'll never agree on this because you don't take context into account. You want Pogba to have the same performances as those except that he's on a worse team, with bigger expectations, etc... It just never made sense to me. If you have an average performance, you can get picked up by your teammates and get the results/trophies. Fans won't view that performance as negative. What matters to me is his performance relative to his teammates and in this case Pogba is without a doubt been a top 3 player for us in his 3 seasons here. If he was not, I and many others would be in agreement with you.
I just don't think it makes sense to isolate the player and feel that the player must always have a constant performance regardless of his surroundings. Drop Pogba in to 2007/08, now he's surrounded by Tevez, Ronaldo, Rooney, Scholes, Rio, Vidic, Evra, etc... I would expect his performances to rise and even if he doesn't do well, there are so many match winners that we as fans would easily forget or not view them in as bad of a light as you would now.
I just highly doubt Dybala would want to come to United. Pressuring a player to move rarely ends well and the last thing we need is another Di Maria.
Yeah right, whats this guy been smoking!
meh, its not like Di Maria is the only player that has ever been talked into a transfer
He may be (or already have been) told that he is not in his manager's plans. It's not good at all for a player of his calibre and in his age to sit in reserves - and if so, the question is where to go?
PSG don't need, Barca either, Madrid even less so. City are well staffed in attack, Liverpool may be short on funds, Chelsea have a transfer ban, and Bayern don't need either. Juve also won't sell to Italian rivals. So what does he have left? Man Utd, Spurs and that's more or less it.
To choose United over Spurs is not something that would be unheard of.
I don't understand why this doesn't concern anyone. Like lemmings just walking into another potential disaster, zero shits given about potential tactical headaches either.
I agree. I'd rather Bruno than Dybala. Not sure we need him, especially if he's reticent to come.
Well, our Argentine track record would be on the rise, If i'm not mistaken our last was Tevez, who made an incrediblly ugly strike duo with Rooney. Thank God for Ronaldo and Berbalove.
Di Maria.
That is bizarre if it goes through, he is way too good for that level. Would walk into more than half of the Championship....
This is incredibly funny or pure madness.
