  1. Firstly gotta say I'm very pleased (and surprised) that this happened and we managed to get Rom back permanent, I think we've ended up overpaying a bit but then eh Chelsea were never gonna let us have him on the cheap and thats the way the transfer market is these days and if Calum Chambers is worth £16m, Lallana £25m and Lovren £20m then doesnt sound so bad!, I'm just shocked that we spent over £20 million on one player, not used to us spending that over both transfer windows! My only concern now is I felt last season we were a striker short, especially if injuries occur, so with the extra games of Europa and as we didnt technically add to last seasons squad today, imo we definitely need at least one more face in that position ready to compete for first team, keep hearing about maybe Traore back on loan but heard nothing more on that of late, I really hope there's a couple more coming in anyway! By the way what happened to the younger Belgian lad we were being linked with, plenty on Twitter earlier expecting him to get unveiled as well tonight, I know thats not really anything to go by but just wondered.
  2. ITV Commentators good as ever, saying we might come unstuck playing how we do against better teams, didn't they see us against Arsenal at the Emirates, idiots!!! On a positive not, great result, hopefully Arsenal do their job next and we get a home draw! I have a feeling we're gonna get Wigan!
  3. Absolutely stunning win tonight great game to watch!! Was tough to pick my MOTM as great all round perfomance! Hopefully we can tick off another achievement Moyes never managed with us on Sunday and win at the Emirates, although I'll admit I won't be going into that game as optimistic as I did tonight, but why not eh??? And all the papers said it was an injury crisis with Baines being out, 2 in 2 from Oviedo now can't argue with that!!!
  4. Simple answer to OP No!! Think it was perfect time for the change for both him and us, funny seeing United fans on forums saying Moyes is too negative or defensive when we could see this all along, hopefully we can tick off another achievement Moyes never managed with us on Sunday and win at the Emirates, although I'll admit I won't be going into that game as optimistic as I did tonight, but why not eh??? Either way great win tonight great game to watch!! Was tough to pick my MOTM as great all round perfomance! And all the papers said it was an injury crisis with Baines being out, 2 in 2 from Oviedo now can't argue with that!!!
  5. Couldn't have said it better.... Finding it hard to deny having these thoughts myself but the way this leagues going right now, surely its not impossible right????
  6. I agree with all of this, great loyal servant, never anything special but did his job when required, never gonna fit into what Martinez is thinking but think he deserves a few more years yet in his career sadly not with us but seen a lot of clubs where he could do a good job, best of luck Tony will always remember that one goal!!
  7. Funny how yet again something comes out in the press shortly before we play a match, thats 3 times now!!!!
  8. Me too, just goes to show at this time of year nowhere's free from this shit excuse for journalism
  9. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/transfer-news-exclusive-leighton-baines-has-asked-everton-to-agree-deal-with-manchester-united-8788275.html Actually says he's asked us to agree a fee with United, apparently been asking since start of pre-season which makes it sound bit like bullshit imo. Definitely not what I expected from Baines if true but the way football is these days can't really rule it out without hearing from the man himself
  10. Where do they get this shit from???? I know none of us know what's going on behind the scenes but this flies in the face of every other story on the situation. For a start it's the first I've heard of this apparent pact between Moyes and Bill, and if it does exist Moyes didn't take very long to break a pact with an apparent 'very good friend' did he? Then this bit I know I don't know him personally but this seems about as far away as you could get from how he comes across, I think he's happy where he is and would completely understand us turning down any bids especially of the value the rumoured ones have been Another case of a journo with too much time on his hands me thinks!
  11. My apologies, when you put it like that I understand more what you mean, I just think that just because he seemed unprepared for talking to the media that it doesnt mean in any way that its the same situation behind the scenes, I do share some of your worries though, remembering the situation we were at before Moyes took over the last thing I want is a return to that I'm just hoping that we can get a decent standard of new man in to at least keep us in (or preferably build on) our current situation. I'll be even happier if no big names leave in the summer though!
  12. Until we know this isnt the case then surely its far too early to start all this abuse, just seems any excuse for a bit of BK bashing huh? o be honest at this minute in time I dont really give a fuck how BK acts to the cameras its whats going on behind the scenes thats important, and hopefully Mark Hughes' name is nowhere near any current shortlist!!
  13. 99% of what though I wonder? If its anything like our normal budget then its pretty hard to find anyone to slot straight into our first team, apart from the usual loans and free transfers that is.
  14. If he had been threatening to actually do something I'd agree but the fact he conributed pretty much fuck all this game means he had to come off imo
