Once you grow one, going back looks weird.

I'd second this :lol:

I've recently joined the beard club, now when I look back at pictures pre-beard, I look like a 12 year old.

Agreed. I'm in the beard club as well, have been growing one for 4 months now and it looks/feels epic, even though my girlfriend has been moaning about not being able to find my fecking lips. No going back now and as Sam said, when you look back you look like a 12 yeard old beardless.

Otamendi should keep the beard if we get him. We need a tough, bearded bastard in our team and he looks like he could be a leader.

Wouldn't be fun to face our defense if it's a Otamendi & Rojo pairing. Ones a bearded hardman, the other is a baby faced psycho.

I would be delighted with such CB pairing. They know each other from the national side and would be able to communicate well on and off the pitch.

I get that too :lol:

As for Otamendi, any contract should have written into it that he isn't, under any circumstances, allowed to shave it off.
 
Agree about the beard staying. Beards look rather imposing on the right people.

I had mine for about 8 years, long enough to plait and always fancied going for the massively long kung fu master type deal. However I got very bored on Wednesday and lopped it down to standard length, then while tidying it up with clippers my missus' head just appeared behind me in the mirror looking over my shoulder, scared the shit out of me and the clippers took a chunk right down to the skin. Now I have no beard at all and am thoroughly gutted.

Worst thing that's happened to me in a decade. 10 years younger and my face looks a weird shape. The bottom half of my face is pale as too. My face looks like Frankenstein could only find a top half and bottom half, top from a slightly pale person, bottom from the most pale person on the planet. Never realised how much I hate the wind on my face either....
 
Beards harbour more bacteria than public toilet seats.

Read it on facebook.

I feel your pain man! Shaving too much off your beard is the most sinking feeling ever, totally get the weird face shape too. I haven't seen my actual chin in about 5 years. I remember years ago I shaved it all off, and I developed a proper hatred for my chin. It just looked so weird to me.

aint that some shit :lol:
 
And there was I thinking I'd find some transfers news in this thread. Bunch of bearded idiots.
I WANT A BEARD!!! :-(
 
This is the transfer tweet thread not the... beard...owners... club. I don't fecking know...
 
Being a hockey fan myself, I would like to see United players letting "playoff beards" grow when we come around early April when every match becomes a cup final in our way to glory.
 
All this in the few amount of games you say I cant rate someone by. Absolute horse shite
So you are saying your inability to form an opinion of a player after seeing him play for more than 15-20 games should be applicable to everyone. And yet I am talking horse shite. Now I get why you got your tag line. Learn to deal with the normal fact that people do have differing opinions on matters and not everyone takes as long as you to form on opinion on things.
 
Point is we made the mistake of losing him to Real when we went for Jones ahead of him. For me, Varane has a much higher ceiling than McNair who does not have Varane's calmness. McNair goes to bits as soon as he makes an error while Varane seems to have a very calm and mature head on his shoulders. If we have the chance to sign him, we should not let go of that chance just because we are worried about McNair's progress.

Varane is two years older than McNair, in CB terms (so early in a career) that's a lot.

You don't let go of the opportunity of signing such talents for someone like McNair.

That's really harsh. McNair played a few games last season where he looked like our best defender -- very comfortable on the ball. Sure, he made mistakes, but he was 19 years old and shoehorned into a choatic side that didn't know its best 11 or even its best formation. Fwiw, Varane had a poor season last year -- at least, he looked poor whenever I saw him play. Someone like @carvajal or @Vato would know better than me though.
 

To summarise it, Super Deporte are reporting that Valencia want €50m, which could be including bonuses. They are basically just saying that Otamendi has confirmed his agent's claims and wants a move soon. Marca say that Real Madrid aren't in the picture and that Otamendi wants the move to us. Super Deporte, however, claim they are indeed after him. According to Ole (Argentinian newspaper), we agreed personal terms with Otamendi back in May.
 
@Mciahel Goodman yes,he demanded more protagonism but Ancelotti seemed to respect a lot the hierarchies in the dressing room so was hard for him.When he played he looked distracted sometimes and lacking a bit of character to be the leader of the defense,I guess that is normal since is very young,although his conditions are undeniable
 
Do these sport witness chaps report anything other than issues with stuff reported by others ?

I doubt it. They seem like clickbait aggregators of other people's tweets. We should be getting our tweets directly from journos and not the likes of Sport Witness and Utd Report.

They actually bother to translate articles from time to time and dispell bullshit conjured up by likes of Daily Mail and other rags so I can't see any problem with them.

Nah they're much more than that. They might be moving towards click bait headlines these days (welcome to the Internet) but there's a lot of integrity to their reporting. They scan through media sources the world over and to the best of their ability try to figure out the source of the rumour and if there's likely to be any truth to it.

This.

Hopefully the move for Otamendi looks on.
