Athletico have already denied any contact, it's bollocks.

I do think it's bollocks but clubs denying it doesn't really mean much. They'd not come out and say they were negotiating for him if it wasn't done.
 
Awesome. At least with Tanc he just blocks people when he has a paddy.

I think that is tweet of the thread so far to be honest. :lol:

Still laughing!

EDIT: This bit just adds to the tweet hugely too; "this man i think it was a little drunk".

feck YOU! :lol:
 
A quick bit of formation feckery before I leave for the night.....

Angel Di Maria + Arturo Vidal + Marcos Rojo = 4-3-1-2:

De Gea
Rafael Smalling/Jones Evans/Rojo Shaw
Vidal Herrera Di Maria
Mata
RVP Rooney
What a team!

Rafa and Shaw as centre backs? Would be dodgy as hell

I know it's not a popular opinion but I feel it'll more likely be

-------------De Gea-------------
---Jones---Smalling---Evans---
Valencia----------------Di Maria
-------Vidal--------Herrera-------
--------------Mata--------------
----------RVP-----Rooney----------

Subs: Amos, Rojo, Shaw, Fletcher, Kagawa, Januzaj, Welbeck

With Rafael, Carrick, Cleverley & Young also to come in (I'm assuming Nani, Anderson, Hernandez and Fellaini go)

If only right :(
 
Yes he did.

Indeed. The embargo is identical to last year.

It's to protect the printed press, by 10.30 their first edition articles are out in ink form. It means they still have some sort of job rather than social media running away with exclusives.

If anyone broke the embargo and it was traced they'd lose their press conference rights and be looked at as total scum by their peers.

He said 4-3-1-2, probably the most likely thing. Out of those 4 centre backs, 2 would be starters and Shaw and Rafael proper fullbacks.

He said 4312 and put Shaw and Rafael widest of the backline, how did you come to the conclusion that he meant they were centerbacks?

Who said 4312? LVG? Either way I missed that I thought we were just making up formations :/

I did.

You misread my post I think......

I put Jones/Smalling Evans/Rojo because I couldn't pick the starters (probably Jones and Evans for me with Smalling and Rojo as the backup), with Rafa as RB and Shaw as LB, they're not centrebacks.
 
This is the day we have been waiting for!

Vidal So soon and Angel cake di Maria?!

Please be true
 
How much assessing does our CM and CBs need? Perhaps if we had a tough game early on and got walked over like last season it could hasten things up.
This supposedly easy start could actually be the problem. They play well in the first couple of games, that they should play well in anyway, then nothing is done. First hard game comes along and all the weaknesses come out when it is too late.
 
The confusion with the embargo thing lads is that Fergie didnt give two fecks about the press and didnt do separate pressers.
Fergie didn't like doing press conferences, so no way in hell he wanted to do two. You could see him itching to get away half way through them and he was starting to lose his rag as well.

He didn't enjoy doing them but he did do separate interviews for the Sunday papers after the sir down with the dailies.

The embargo rule was introduced last season to help protect papers and their selling point.
