Premier League 2016-2017
« on: July 01, 2016, 01:32:58 PM »
New season.. new thread...

Giggs announced he's leaving United after 29 years today... sorry Harv but LOL!!!
Mourinho is doing what Mourinho does best at the moment... he's building a team, something FatHead would never of done...although personally I wouldn't be too happy with the signing of Twattan Imalittlebitch... but he'll bring goals and leadership

Falcao and Pato both left Chelsea today too.. good.  Michy Batshuayi passed a medical.. don't know much about him apart from the goal he scored against Hungary the other week.. he looks like a bit of a wildcard.

Citeh bought Nolito today... he had a decent tournament I thought.

A shame to see Giggsy go, he should have been the next manager instead of Maureen :(

The latest transfer rumour is that United will be signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan (who from now on I'm going to be calling Henry cos it's a lot easier to spell and type lmfao ;D ) at the weekend, so that means that Mata is probably on his way out, unless Maureen is going to keep him at the club as a backup.

Also more rumours that we're going to be making a bid for Pogba...Juve want £83m for him. Better off sticking with Timbo, he's better than Pogba was at the same age, can also play any position at the back and is more grounded. Can't see Mourinho doing this though given his reluctance to trust yoof players.

Not looking forward to next season, Maureen is going to be a disaster. :'(

And the Henry deal has been done, £26.3m. Quite happy with the signings that Maureen has done so far, but have my doubts that we'll be playing attacking football under him despite the signings he's made. I'm expecting the usual parking of the bus playing 4-5-1 with two defensive midfielders unfortunately, although there are rumours that he's going to be playing 4-3-3 with a number 6.

Might call him Miki instead of Henry, easier to type. Would also give us a great song to sing:

Oh Miki you're so fine,
You're so fine you blow my mind,
Hey Miki
*Claps*
Hey Miki
*Claps*

 ;D ;D ;D

Always loved that song and the bird in the cheerleader's outfit too :P

A good press conference from Maureen. He's confirmed that a fourth signing is very close, in fact he had to ask United's press officer next to him whether it was officially done yet or not lol. So sounds like it's very close to being finalised. Could be Pogba but that's going to slow down Timbo's development. :-\

He also confirmed that he wants to play the Roonster as a number 9, number 10 or a number 9 and a half lol ;D

So unless he's playing as a number 10 that would put Rashford as third place for the number 9 position. He said that he didn't see the Roonster as a number 6 or number 8, personally I'd say that the number 8 position is his best position at the moment. :-\

Well that's the Miki deal done. Just seen his stats from the Bundesliga last season, 32 assists and 20-odd goals in 52 games. :o

He won't have as much time on the ball in Premiership matches and games will be more physical so we'll see how he handles it.

The latest rumour is that Sky Sports sauces are saying that Real Madras are pulling out of the race to sign Pogba. ;D

If we get Pogba we could see Pogba and Fosu-Mensah forming the best midfield partnership that the Premiership has ever seen once Carrick and Basti have both left United - better even than Keane and Scholes and Petit and Vieira, probably starting during the 2017-2018 season. And if we can keep them both happy then we could see them playing together for 10+ years. :o 8)

Talk of Blackett and Varela both being let go which is going to be a shame. :(

Sky confirmed Leicester accepted Kante bid for 32m today... he had a great season... but then so did Matic 2 seasons ago....

Conte looked and sounded boss in his press conference the other day though, my feelings are positive so far..

Team news for Wigan vs United:

Johnstone

Fosu-Mensah Bailly Blind Shaw

Herrera Carrick

Lingard Micki Memphis

Wilson

Timbo being played out of position again. :(

Good to see Shaw back. ;D

Good competition for places for the front four this season - Lingard, Memphis, the Roonster, Fellaini, Young, Micki, Martial, Herrera, Wilson, Zlatan and Rashford all vying for those four places.

I think people are going to be surprised by Memphis this season. 8)

Still not happy with playing 4-5-1 this season though.

Bailly looking good so far, cool as a cucumber and comfortable on the ball. Micki is looking VERY frisky. :o ;D 8)

Wigan parked the bus in the first half, 10 men behind the ball but we still managed to create a few decent chances.

7 subs coming on for the second half:

Jones, Mata, Adnan, A Pereira, Valencia, Keane, Young on for Shaw, Carrick, Wilson, Fosu-Mensah, Micki, Lingard and Memphis.

A daft mistake from Jaaskelainen gives the ball straight to Mata who sets up Keane for an easy finish. 0-1 to United. ;D
