@manufc10 it is definitely a step in the right direction, I feared we wouldn't be able to attract any "big names" so I am pleased in that respect. It just shows how far our stock has fallen when the manchester derby last night (albeit in the league cup) didnt make the home page of BBC Sport
[/quote]That's very true and I agree. I feared we were going to end up letting him slip away but I was very pleased to see we snagged him. Not only because he is a great player that will add value but to also prove we can still snag some "big names" like you said.

I'm still not sure what we should do about Pogba though….I can't decide if we will be better off with him or without him.

@AdamJ lingard's still young.. give him a chance..
@AdamC well i'm more happy that they've managed to signed him instead of dicking about with money, contracts and all that crap that shitward is doing. i'll take what he did at sporting with a pinch of salt because not many great players overseas do well in the premier league.. but definitely looks promising..

I don't think that could be further from the truth. This would imply that most of the best players in the league are UK based which is just not true. The premier league is full of quality foreign players and is probably the most non-domesticated league of the big 5. If you look at the player of the season awards over the course of the Premier League the vast majority of those players were foreign players.
Ruud, Cantona (as Giles mentioned), Ronaldo, Henry, Van Dijk, Salah, Aguero, Schmeichel, Ljungberg, Suarez….the list goes on.
Maybe I misunderstood what you were saying, but to say foreign players don't do well in the premier league is just not an accurate statement.

i think what i'm trying to imply was that there's a lot of brilliant foreign players in the premier league. However, while that is the truth, there's also a bunch of foreign players that struggled to adapt to the pace and physicality of the premier league. What i'm just trying to say is, let's give them a few games under their belt before we try and predict how we'll they'l do in the EPL..

MANCHESTER IS RED!

Thanks for the assist [emoji1433][emoji1433][emoji1433]
You guys are 25 points ahead. Don’t think any “assist” was necessary

When the PFA looked for someone to run their PR, did they choose a candidate who had headed the ball a few too many times? I don't think I have ever seen such a pathetic argument, unfortunately I susect the aresholes who dreamt it up have been congratulating themselves on their flash of brilliance ever since…..

Best own goal of the season....

Ahhh there is even a soccer forum here!!!
I am a AFC Ajax Amsterdam fan, please don’t bully me with the lost EL final against ManU, the lost half final CL against Spurs and please be kind to me about the debacle in the group stage CL against The Blues. Besides that I am fine…. [emoji23]

isn't players pay cut between the clubs, the agents and their players anyway? i know the EPL has no salary cap unlike some leagues (ML, A-League etc.) so why do they even have a say?

PFA is the basically the players trade union. Looks after their interests.
ahhh right. i suppose i'd rather a player offer their sacrifices than to force them to sacrifice. i'll have no doubt most would do the right thing anyway..
