Another popcorn man.

Manure paid £24m initial and £5m for RvP giving them the league. Which school you dey attend sef?

Bros stop spilling crap! I have broken down the deal for you.

http://m.bbc.com/sport/football/19296077

Initial 22.5M plus 1.5M each if United should win either of the UCL or the Premier League title.

Concerning the school matter... I be proud Ife product!

Spy360:
When they said manure fans have popcorn for brains I thought it was a joke.

We gave you RvP for £29m you used him for 2seasons and he is gone for nothing. We got Welbeck from you for £13m less, won the FA cup and still counting. What's about shirt sales, Arsenal FC sells as much shirts too. Even your boyfriend has one.

Another gayner fan spilling false information!

United acquired RVP for an initial fee of 22.5M pounds with an additional 1.5M pounds if United won the league... total of 24M pounds. Arsenal paid 16M pounds for Welbeck.

Stop throwing the kind of shiit you throw around in beer parlours and viewing centre.

Another Gayner fan have been schooled.

Fkhalifa:
Van persie single handedly won the league for manure playing amongst many flops, what then became of v.persie after that one season? He dropped to zero

V.persie already won the league dnd facup in his early years without stress, he won golden boots, broke records before heading to europa

Welbeck i tell you will rise and shine at Arsenal , even SAF and your legends attest to it

All this gayner fans with zero knowledge of football...Van Persie didn't win a league title with Assanal. He only won the FA Cup.

He ran to United to win the league omolomo "the little boy in him was screaming United"

Stop spilling crap! Sit back and learn... it is getting tiring schooling all them inferior gayners.

Troll aside It's now u pple and manure will know the importance of making top four. All things beimg equal Most transfer battles btwn any of the big teams not playing UCL and Arsenal will always favour arsenal unless Arsenal ain't keen abt it.
Reason Liverpool is finding it difficult to keep their star players and add stronger legs hence the inability to really compete.
What I'm saying is man-u and Chelsea have this season to get it right, another season outside top four will spell doom for the club. They mind just end up like Liverpool.

Jeez! nigga why are you worried about every other team apart from the team you support. Calm the fucck down and stop shooting cuum allover the sports section. You know so much and you don't know the difference between a forward and a midfielder...lolz

When was the last time Arsenal got a deal ahead of them elite teams and big spenders such as Madrid, Barca, Bayern, United, City and Chelsea? Can your useless team fork out 60M+ quid on a single player. You keep mentioning the UCL as if Assanal can go beyond the round of 16.

Dude! Sit back and understand the economics and business side of football and stop displaying your ignorance to the world at large.

ChristineC:
good money? What is £24m when his shirt sales tripled what Arsenal could sell in a few weeks?
The deal was and still is a massive win for Manchester United. He still single-handled put the club into the UCL quarters the following season, that's not a one year thing.
Danny Welbeck will not win Arsenal any league title. How can he even step on the dance floor from outside the club? My Ghanian friend is always in the sickbay!!

You get strength to dey school this gayners them o. VP single handedly won the league the season he was signed, that alone is worth more than 24M quid plus we made a truck load of cash from shirt sales and image right.

Stop wasting your time of a bunch of cock beaters that don't understand the meaning of Forwards in football.

You don't have to hate for no reason! At least ensure your hate has some substance to it instead of it looking like the comical type of hate my bitches watch on telemundo!





Zlatan is one of the top 5 strikers on earth! Look at his numbers! Yes he is 34 and so what? Look at his performances for the last 4 years! Since he turned 30! Impressive...this is a guy who does martial arts in his spare time so its no suprise that his fitness levels are off the charts even at 34! And some players have longevity which may be due to a number of factors (genes or aging gracefully! Who gives a toss?) But most importantly he has TALENT! Something we need more of and are addressing currently!






None of his former clubs ever complained of him not delivering so what are you even using as a yardstick to judge this deal sef? Instead you had to vomit stale unrelated events as a reason why this won't work? Rooney is a club legend! He deserves to be spoilt! Di maria was coached by a confused philosopher! Depay has a chance to re write his united story under jose! And zlatan is zlatan! Why are you overdosing on bile over someone that rejected your club once already ( that is if you are a goner) or someone that your clubs current state of hopelessness cannot attract?( that's if you are a shekpite)




By the way what is YOUR OWN CLUB CURRENTLY DOING? Apart from trying to pull its fingers of underachievement out of its anal cavity of doom!




I spend money you dey vex? Ol boy see me see problem?

That dude is super irritating... he does not know how to troll and he is filled with hate and jealousy! I think I have said enough.

DiademSh07:
I keep hearing facts! What facts? Lip service speeches?
The real facts are the pure actions!
I can't say I like you while my actions toward you state otherwise, would you still say I like you because I say that?
The true facts are starring people in the eyes yet people keeps referring to lip service speeches!
That said, all I've done here is to talk about Mourinho's incapability and what he's capable of, that won't change though whether we like it or not. If people don't like it, that's their business!
And why would I praise Mourinho when he's not started working? Once he shows he different from his previous self, I might give him a shout out!

Showing support and praising are two different things sire.....

Do you think the management and owners of united will put the main revenue driver of a multi-billion business in the hands of an incapable manager after the LVG debacle?

The Herrera issue.... links relating to him saying he was signed by LVG.... a link were LVG referred to Herrera as his signing and also the Marca link were all provided. What kind of facts do you want again?

Kagawa10:
I never claimed Van gaal achieved his aim! His aim was top 3 though.
I stated that Mourinho would have to do better than top 4 because we were joint top 4 with City apart from the goal difference.
Moreso, I constantly blamed Van gaal for the lack of quality players he failed to bring into the squad. I pointed out his fault like how He readily tool punt on players like Rojo or a crock like Bastian.
I pointed out both the good work he did and his fault but no, majority don't want to see his good thing about him and would rather pick one childish fight or the other just because they've been wired to be sheeps!

So how does reaping off Mourinho and pointing out the negative things about him help United as a club?

I am a big fan of LVG and i was very happy when he was appointed as the manager of United. Down the line, he became disillusioned and he couldn't deliver. At that point it was clear that he had to leave the club.

Mourinho needs all the support that he can get from fans around the world. Let him start his work on the team before you start castigating him. There is no gain in trying to be the different one in a crowd. it's cool to have a different perspective and ideology in comparison to other people, but something is surely wrong when facts are given to prove that your ideology/belief is wrong and you fail to see reason.

Lastly in the football world, once a manager/coach "okays" the signing of a player, the player automatically becomes his signing. It was the head of Leicester's scouting network and other scouts that identified Kante as an excellent player, does it mean that Kante is not Raineri's signing? You can't win all battles bro... don't be like Dayo sometimes you take the L and move on.

BossKratos:
Gundogan has not been the same since he had a serious injury last season! I Wish him no form @ city though!




We need 2 central midfielders (mata seems gone)! 2 strikers( rooney is done in attack)
A winger! 2 central defenders ( jones and rojo seem done) and a right back as competition for dramian ( valencia is not 1)





Strikers: zlatan and lewandowski or abaumeyang ( all man should hustle to start with martial by scoring goals)




Winger; only griezman would suffice or mane or wijnaldum as cheap options! Mahrez wants champs league soccer! No hope!




Central midfield! Marco veratti, Kroos or modric! Koke or saul nunez from atm! N'kante go hard and Pogba will never happen!




Defence: varane or john stones, or diego godin from atm ( expy) or bindy or sumtin like that (giant dutch black guy
from porto)




Right back: van der weil from psg is available for free! Danilo from real madrid ( he's tired of the bench) Or they should prevent dani alves from joining juve!

Bros... no be football manager nau...lol

Kagawa10:
Lol!
A player that was chased all summer by Moyes but ten got signed under Van gaal was his player?
Keep believing in your foolery!
I asked again was Gotze Pep's guy?

Your have a point but the presentation is faulty.

Herrera was scouted heavily under Moyes and a deal was almost signed until the fiasco that happened towards the end of the transfer window.

Herrera was not identified by LVG but LVG gave the green light on the deal before it was finalised by Ed Woodward. He said so in one of first set of press conferences. Shaw's transfer is also in a similar boat.

Since LVG gave the green light on the deal, it means that Herrera was his signing.

You don't have to trade insults or turn to a shape shifter.

Another overate or what? Where and when did Pep win consecutive leagues with Barca B team? How many seasons did Pep spend as Barca B team coach? Or does "consecutive" have another meaning?

Hehehehe... badman... he has swallowed a humble pill for the gaffe... forgive him.

ollah1:
And that's the only thing u can talk about. Says alot

I stopped reading after that gaffe...

Plus I have never contested the notion that Pep is not a good manager. After his UCL shortcomings at Bayern he still has to defend the "genuis" tag placed on him by Barca faithfuls.

MrTA:
So does Rashford go into this season as our number 1 striker?

No.... we need a tested and trusted tier 1 striker. He can provide competition as the no 2 striker.

ollah1:
Your comment is full of flaws. Pep won consecutive leagues with Barca B while playing attractive football. This was what made him get the get the job on a trial level but he wowed everybody. Pre Pep, Barca went two years winning nothing. He won every avaliable trophies in his first year yet he doesn't deserve the credit. It's the team that deserves it. The same team which he built 80% of it.

He took over a Bayern team which just won the UCL but what happened to the core attacking players? They went on injury spree and they are aged at the moment. He left the team in a good state with young promising players . He lost to three Spanish teams, two of which became champions eventually while we await the third tonight.

No team would have defeated Barca last season. Only his team got a win the knock out stage. Every other team and yes the defending champion of "the best league in the world " got schooled home and away.

Errrrm.... the bolded above is incorrect..... He only won one league title with Barca B in the 2007/2008 season. Easy with the trumpet blowing and stretching.......

Dongorgon5:
Siasia will win something with that barca team.
Pep will find it difficult in england.
Its an insult to even comapare mou with pep.
Pep has managed two of the best team in europe in his career,Barcelona and Bayernmunich.
Without messi iniesta and xavi, pep is another version of Laurent Blanc.

Siasia is a good gaffer... the likes of Kadiri Ikhana, Christian Chukwu and Amodu will win trophies with that Barca team.

kokaneprodigy:
Ain't u tired of this lazy line? and you were privy to the fact Arsenal wasn't having issues, how?
My point is no excuse for anyone

One can never get tired of the truth boy!

What issue was Arsenal having?

You useless team bottled up as usually when they needed to exhibit traits of champions.

No one is making excuses for Jose... I expect him to challenge for the title and win a domestic cup. During Fergie's tenure as manager we were only assured of the title when our major contender was your useless club.

I repeat... Arsenal fans do not have the right to troll United... Arsenal is not an elite football team... you have got zero European pedigree... 3 league titles in 2 decades!

GBR1:
That guy is a confirmed lunatic. United and opposition fans have branded him one alike. You expect such BS from him.

Hahahahaha the guy na comic relief....

kokaneprodigy:
Eediot I knew you'll say that. How come you and ur peeps are now saying 4th is acceptable for MOU since he might not have same squad as city, bloody hypocrites.
No one has any excuse of not winning it period!!!!.

manure cretins now hope for fourphy, after spending 2 seasons in 3 out of top four despite splashing £250M they now know making top four year in year out no be beans

Mr igboprodigy... you are here again with your pointless and senseless trolling! The last time your team won the league u were a teenager. When all of the big boiz were having issues your useless team couldn't make a big push for the title... bunch of 2 mins nut bursting wanskstars.

I repeat for the last time, Arsenal fans have not earned the right to troll or say shiit about United...

raumdeuter:
Assuming it was Pep fans giving excuses like

He has nothing to prove
He doesnt have to win
Top 4 is enough
He might be asked to play youth team

We would have an army of people shouting upandan

Now its balance let both win with their respective squad failure to do so means they failed

You get strength to dey go back and fourth though!

At the beginning of the just concluded season, I expected City to win the league but I noticed an alarming depreciation of their aging core players. Whereas United have a relatively young core (DDG-Smalling-Jones-Shaw-Martial). Based on last season's result I believe both teams are currently at par. Over the season United had the upper hand when both teams met.... 0-0 at Old Trafford and a lone goal from Rashford at the Etihad stadium.

The claim that Mourinho has nothing to prove is laughable, I think he has a lot to prove. A misfortune with United will significantly affect his stock after the Chelsea debacle.

Also Pep has got a lot to prove. He needs to show that he can be successful without being the coach of the best team in the league he finds himself. City's team are at the lowest point since they won their first EPL title.

For me, I expect the both of them to hit the ground running and to set a frantic pace. I am super sure they will both spend over 100M on acquisition of players.

Winning the league will be the ultimate target of both coaches and finishing in the top 3 will be a good result for both of them provided that the top 3 team remain in the race for the title till the last month of the season.

If Pep does not win the league at the first time of asking, it won't make him a failure. Same goes for Mourinho!

GloryIsaac:
Have no idea whether to be happy or sad ...
I dont like Mou's character, hope he doesn't start his antics here and quarelling with players

Rashford, lingard, perreira, januzaj e.t.c

if they are good enough they will play!

How many games did Pereira and Januzaj played last season?

MrTA:
for those who keep saying he's anot a man Utd type of coach. There is only one Sir Alex Ferguson. One unique coach. There won't be another like him. So we have to move on from saying that's the type of coach we should be getting because SAF no get part 2. I've been in very 2 minds about Jose, but the reality is the game has changed. No top club is getting a manager that will stay for 10 years if they want to be successful for a long time. It simply won't happen anymore. Also, Jose is a very polarising person. But he's undeniably a great manager. He cannot be less than great with that CV.I'm not saying he's guaranteed success but he's the best manager based on availability and his track record. I see it going one of 2 ways. He's either going to having amazing success or a complete disaster. I don't see us becoming mediocre under him.

As for now, he is now the manager of Manchester United. So he will have my full support.

You get power to dey respond to people with the funny "he is not a united type of coach" story... how many Man United managers have they experienced. No one can be like Fergie!

Someone even called Mourinho a mercenary... nawa o. Maybe they wanted us to stick with Van Gaal. We made the mistake when Moyes was chosen ahead of Mou... we might have avoided the shiit we find ourselves in at the moment.

I hope he delivers sha... because so many people are waiting to say... "I said so" awon ti dooms day

GBR1:
To be frank, I'm really irritated by these "bringing through youth" tag some use as beating stick for a manager like Jose while others use to praise LVG's tenure here.
People should get their priorities right and be reasonable as much as possible. I mean everything is so clear. We've been mediocre for about 3 years now and it's no joke, and it doesn't seem the slide has been arrested. Getting back to winning is the most important thing right now, and Mourinho offers the greatest chance at that.

I love good debates and could dispel some myths or end some illogic being peddled but i don't even see the need right now.
All tags like "he doesn't play youth", '' his bad behavior/antics'', " he doesn't last more than 3 years'' , "boring football" etc are all extremely pointless and useless as they can get.

It doesn't matter if a manager is without those tags. Without the wins, you are nothing. Please when we get back to winning ways, then we can trash out the rest.

The most important thing ever to United has always been winning. Winning through whatever means; yes I said it, and I mean every bit of it. Bringing through youth while doing it, or playing attacking football etc are simply bonuses we've come to enjoy. That's realism.

Like I said earlier, I enjoy good debates but if you disagree with the above, then I don't even fancy trying to convince you. It depends; I might try though.

People are just following the bandwagon.

He chose to play a 22 years old Cech over Cudicini

Mourinho played a 17 years old Santon at Inter Milan

He gave a 20 years old Varane ample playing time at Madrid, same story for Zouma at Chelsea.

I believe that if he feels a player is ready and good enough he will do the needful.

I can't wait to see what he can make do with Fosu-Mensah. The guy looks a lot like a Mourinho style player.

Roland17:
Aburo,

Personally, this is one of the best signing(s) in the midfield position from Wenger in a very long time, considering this position is one we have struggled with in a very long time (depending on where Wenge decides to play him).

Honestly, i was not sure we could land him, however, i think Granit's mind was already made up on where he wanted to play and other suitors could not deter his decision.

For those who only follow the premier league, Granit is one of the most technically gifted/ dominant midfielder at his age in Europe and has got international experience to back it up. he can play multiple positions, especially leading from behind. Wenger is increasing the size in the middle of the park with his most recent signatures.

I concur, we are one experienced CB and a mobile striker who is technically gifted away from a balanced team that can compete for titles.

Great signing. #WELCOMEXHAKA

Stop trying to sound like a sage! "For those who only watch the EPL"

Most peeps must have known him from the Basel team that had Shaqiri and Frei.

He is an excellent midfielder though.

Diademk07:
Happy for Martial, Rashford, De Gea, Valencia, Carrick and Rooney who would all be delighted for a trophy at the end of the season after their performances which has varied from quality to decent throughout the season.
Now it's the time to rebuild.
Kante for the box-box CM, Mane for the right wing, Ki sung Yeung to replace Carrick, a CB (Varane?), Shaw (who's going to be like a new signing and we are ready to kick-start next season.

Your suspect of Smalling have been vindicated!

Ki what?

I would get Winaljdum from Newcastle, a tier 1 striker, a RW and a CB.
