Fabio Coentrao makes it a bit better,loan only but I hope he'll play in midfield as I am happy enough with Evra.

Edit:Scrub that one,I turned the TV off the other night with that deal 'done' and woke up the next morning to hear the paperwork wasn't completed on time.

WTF is Woodward and Co playing at?bunch of amateur t*ats.

I have no idea what's going on. Love it. Is Wenger's patience going to pay off?
Ozil is a great signing. I hope Fellaini cuts his hair. It's early days, but I've read elsewhere that Fallaini was more expensive than RVP...
Congrats Liverpool.

Van Persie cost £24 million if I remember correctly and Fellaini is rumored to have cost £27.5 mill so yes if that is indeed true,Fellaini cost more.

27.5 mill for Fellaini you could have got him for 24mill before is buyout clause expired a lot of money for him he is best suited to a long ball team imo

Hate the international break

I also hate international breaks. Especially when there is risk of injury to players we can ill-afford to lose.

Chelski are still favourites for the league. I don't think united will settle quickly with the new manager and arsenal are still short on first team players. Spurs way break in if the squad gels quickly. I don't think they want to be the next qpr

Yeah I know,more poor business by Utd but I can only assume that he wasn't first choice,I sure hope not anyway.
When all else failed it seemed then they went and got Fellaini,I didn't particularly want to see him at Utd but we needed a midfielder and he is versatile so he'll do for now I guess.

Yeah international breaks are a waste of a weekend and now these Fri night matches have made it worse,at least when it was Saturday it still gave ya something to watch.

They get injured on international duty and the clubs still have to pay the wages when the players are out injured

Don't rate Fellaini myself but I do like Herrera quality little player, surprised united didn't move for Ozil even more surprising he went to Arsenal

I don't think Fellani's a bad player,I just don't think he should be at Utd and to be quite honest I don't think he would've been had Moyes not been in charge .

Apparently we did try and hijack Ozil but again,why didn't they think about putting a serious bid in earlier and doing what they could to land a world class player instead of 'fannying' about and leaving everything until the last minute when we even messed up the Herrra deal and were left with no option but Fellani.

I know it's easy to say but I truly believe had Fergie and Gill still been in charge then our situation would have been different.

I think Fellani is a very good player. However, like you, I don't think he is top notch. He has chance now to prove us wrong, lets see what happens.

Arsenal for me are the dark horses for the title.

Yes.

Do you mean the Premier League Fantasy Football, and not the Sky Sports Fantasy Football ?

[Villiam Hayes]

Nah the fantasy stuff doesn't interest me....unless it's in the bedroom.

Wes are Notts Forest blew out and you are now a Swansea supporter or what's going on there?

Indeed.

To be honest, I only started following them because my Dad was a supporter from a young age, mainly because of the Brian Clough days...but for a good while now he doesn't seem to have much of an interest in Football anymore.

As for myself, I just had enough of it...I felt like I was being a traitor to my birth country. I'am proud to be Welsh, and have always followed them in regards to International Football...I HATE England with a Passion!!!!...and because of this, I have decided to now follow the best club in Wales...Swansea City.

I wonder how long Swansea can hang on to Michu and Laudrup?
I have always been a fan of the Laudrup's,both him and Brian were fantastic footballers to watch and Michael is a very good manager.

In my honest opinion, if Michu has anywhere near a season this year as he did last year, then he will be gone come next summer.

Same goes for Laudrup, if The Swans finish in the top 10 again this year and have a decent run in the Europa League.
