Wouldn't be surprised to see him end up at Man United next summer. He was a big part of Mourinho's Real Madrid team, they can double his wages without breaking a sweat, Rooney will be phased out by then, and Arsenal probably aren't going to be winning titles or making deep runs in the Champions League anytime soon.

Rooney. His existence means you won't get Veratti. And the fact that he's shit will prevent you from being a truly elite team. This is the transition season, where Man United finish 2nd or 3rd, then next summer Rooney will be dropped, Veratti will be brought in, and you'll walk the league.

>“I never went to Everton,” he told L'Equipe. “It’s funny. I was watching TV, and I saw that a deal had been done with Everton and that I had signed for them. But I was in London, waiting to sign my contract [with Spurs]."
>He duly signed that contract with Tottenham, to transfer from Newcastle for £30m. Presumably, he went back home to watch himself signing the contract on TV again afterwards.

nice gesture from Christian though, too bad they're both shit

The fluke ferguson era is well and truly over lad. Moyes put you back where you really belong. Panic signings and a tired jaded Mourinho is not going to change anything for you in the long term.
William Martinez
It's the psg's owner existence that makes signing verrati impossible. He could destroy any club with his money

Literally just won the FA Cup

Did they even sell a DVD of the season in the club shop?

Ethan Gonzalez
What makes them more successful than Barcelona?
James Roberts
I can't see that happening. I think Arsenal would rather let him run out his contract and continue to play him like Dortmund did with Lewandowski rather than sell him to United. Selling Ozil to United would probably be the final straw for the fans.

Chelsea aren't necessarily the biggest club in England, but they are the most attractive club to join when they do have CL to offer. Being the biggest team in London, most star players would rather live and play there than in a shithole like Manchester.

it's easier to become a legend at a place like Chelsea because they've had good players that have won the team stuff for such a short time. Kante, Hazard et al has a better chance of getting statues at Chelsea than United - vain cunts
