marcopaulo Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 On red cafe those arrogant sods are giving it the "yeah lets sign him in the summer and him and Januzai are gonna be ace".... Do they not realise that he was actually a great player in the making before moyes dropped him and sent him on loans to clubs where his brain was too advnced for his team mates? I would love to see united finish around 8th spot, lose RVP and Rooney and basically be left with a side that needs 10 class signings = £200m investment. saw that last night...a big reason why utd fans piss others off..the arrogance is astounding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quinn31 Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 You'd love it here in the States, Man U and Chelsea are the two most popular clubs, because most people are glory hunters and Man U is the only club they know, OR they are under the delusion that Chelsea is a big club (isn't that insane?).

I don't know, man. To me, it certainly seems like there are more Liverpool and Arsenal fans in the US. This, of course, changes depending upon which age bracket you're looking at. Definitely more younger Chelsea fans than Liverpool fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the shirts end up super cheap sometime around then, I may take you up on that and get the home or 3rd shirt.

In my area it seems like ManU and Arsenal fans are by far the two groups I run into most often, followed by Chelsea and Spurs. I don't see as many Liverpool fans, and not many City bandwagoners yet either, although I'm sure that will change if they keep spending money like this for the next ten years. The rest of the league is mostly ignored, although one of my friends actually adopted West Ham a few years ago despite my best efforts to talk him out of it. While I may fault his taste, at least he's the one person who will never be accused of bandwagon-jumping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a friend who had supported Man U since childhood who switched his allegiance to Cardiff while they were in the championship. Another good friend has been a West Ham supporter for a decade or so now. I've even run into Norwich supporters! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted December 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 This was my favourite part - "Someone once told me that you could tell which foot a player favoured by getting them to take a penalty - the one they used would tell you if a player was right footed or left footed," says Hall.

FCBarça Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 (edited) So what's the feeling about his longterm future at Everton from fans?...I read he is a local lad & close to his mother but his agency also employs Moyes' son, any doubts about him pulling a Rooney? Would be a shame obviously, especially since I think him & Martinez could do very well together and they probably are working together at the ideal points in both their careers Edited December 11, 2013 by FCBarça Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcopaulo Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 we're in a far better position now than we were when rooney was here...we are on the verge of being one of the top teams in the league..barkley can take us there and i personally feel he'd rather take us to the top than go there with someone else Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Just got to hope he is more level headed than Rooney. I don't think Moyes enjoyed a good relationship with Wayne, it was clear they didn't get on and Rooney was very immature and threw his toys out the pram. Barkley look to have a more mature way about him, he is more receptive to good advice and must love playing for Martinez. Martinez was born to be his manager and Barkley was born to be his player. Looking back the rooney situation was circus, we were a one kid team... he had too much influence and I think Moyes seen that as a threat. To be fair I think Rooney had to be sold... we couldn't give him what he needed and he was in danger of becoming to egotistical. I do think it may well be on Rooneys agenda to play for us again - he's won trophies, he has unfinished business with us. Barkley will be here as long as we can afford to reject the ridiculous money teams may be prepared to pay for him. At this rate he will be the most expensive english player in history - £50m plus.

We like to play it between eachother, or get it out to the wide men and both get in the box. “We’re both benefiting from being in the team together – he helps me and vice versa. It’s the same with all the team – from Jags to Gerard (Deulofeu).” Thats also really encouraging to hear! StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
