I see the report at the side showing RVP sold the most shirts in the Premier League last season. No doubt a bonus when the new kit deal with Nike comes up, as with Shinji in 3rd, all those Asian sales
Ridiculous if true for Rene. What can a coach realistically do to either improve or destroy a team in 16 days. How many of those players were even signed under Rene?
biggest question from that link: who the hell is still buying a torres shirt??
I feel sorry for Rene if it is true, can definitely see him getting another job quickly. Assuming this is true, who would you like from their squad? I think taking s punt on lass diarra would be a decent option.
Warming to the idea of Fellaini slightly. There don't seem to be a whole lot of other attainable players for us to go for (we should be after Gustavo though). Just hope to god I don't see us longballing it to him high up the pitch so he can elbow someone in the face then chest it down.
I wonder how he'll feel being your 3rd/4th choice CM target
I don't think he'll care too much - the wage increase will help him with that.
The Guardian says the £23m price is till August 15th when I'm sure it expired on end of July. If it's the latter then it's naive to have not put the signing done first before Fabregas (because that was never happening) rather than now, potentially, be in a position where we are going to have to fork out more. Obviously, if the 15.8.13 date is right then no problems.
It's maybe not what we exactly need but hopefully Moyes, having known him well, will be able to improve his game to make it less aggressive and using the ball more at his feet to try and power forward when he can and help at set pieces. Vidic, potentially Jones, RVP, are the only players who can defend from set pieces well.

It's not like the Bundesliga isn't a good and physical league though. I read that Fellaini only played about 3 games or something in DM/CM last season, he was played pretty much exclusively in AM/as a forward. I'd take Fellaini over no one, but I'd much rather have Gustavo.
I know stats don't tell the whole story, but this is pretty interesting.
Btw lads - isn't it convenient how Rooney, Suarez and Bale all now have injuries?
Just saying
And David Luiz, top clubs think us fans are stupid.
And whilst I want Gustavo, Moyes doesn't want players from other leagues yet by the looks of it, I think we should support him, imagine how much freedom Kagawa will have with Fellaini behind him.
How disappointed will everyone be if no player is presented tomorrow?
Why are we assuming a player will be presented tomorrow? The sun said we are announcing Ronaldo tomorrow and some coronation street actors said something was going to happen. Hardly something to get yourself worked up about.
