Would have thought to compare us to either of those sides would be more laughable. Just a thought
Usually find you're on my wavelength.

In fairness - how much mixing up have the top teams actually done throughout the season?
Chelsea - strongly defined style of play
Liverpool (when they were up there) - strongly defined style of play
Arsenal - strongly defined style of play
None of these were prone to changing tactics particularly at all IMO.
Utd and City are slightly different, in that they have a strongly defined shape/style but seem to have a very fluid front line (in itself a bit of a constant)

I didn't compare us to them.

Agreed. But 4-3-3 was never played. Nor 4-5-1. Look at Man Utd. Pretty much 4-4-2. 4-4-2 has been the dominant formation until Mourinho came. No where did he learn his trade?

I find the whole work permit thing rather silly, I mean we let everyone else into the country so why not footballers who will be paying hundreds of thousands in tax?

Yep. Agreed.

Didn't he post a picture of himself with Sandro on twitter today too?
Given how strict the rules are, United seem to always get their players under the 'exceptional talent' clause.

i dont believe i'm hearing this. This makes no sense to me at all. not even to the extent i want to reach for a compromise
i wonder, why didnt we send king off to some team for .....experience or healing or whatever you want to call it.
who says the games has to be with us? our coach who has an idea of what he needs and he who has it thats who. we need a playmaker brought into a game..oh no wait, we loaned out a returning fit player to another team so they can make use of his abilities when we may need it. Or we sent him out there not knowing how he can cope to a team we dont know what on earth is doing with him....thats how we look after our players and bring back players that we need who are valuable into the team...send them away.
the next time we get a lengthy injury to a valued first teamer we may need, i am just going to put it out there that people here think it is a good and perfectly logical and smart idea that we loan them out to another team so that we can assess them...in another city.
i think VDV, gallas, lennon and bale are overdue for some time out injruy....when that happens i think we should loan them out to a team to get fitness there with some potential hack or lesser staff that couldnt get a job at one of the best teams in the league (us)
after typing this out i see this is going nowhere , to actually argue about something i see almost no sense in.....this has got to prove that i'm insane :lol: ..... fill your boots nayim mate, it makes sense to you to loan out a first teamer after they come back from injury so you should stay the course and guard that corner.
*think we missed a trick with vidic and jovetic....

sorry , i must have missed it.
this guy is that good? seriously? what info has he provided again? how many right? Ade ? half the world added Ade to the list of people we were getting. there is nothing there
what else has he bagged? i'm actually being serious cause as far as i am aware all the ITks dont know anything aside from gossip and rumours, which is why practically all of them have been missing the sea...but if this guy has been providing great info and doesnt tend to get stuff wrong then hey i raise my hands, we might actually have a guy to get on his bandwagon..
but first i wouldnt mind knowing why he's revered

urgh, I posted earlier via mobile and it did not post

I think many here need to take a long look at themselves and what they think of Dawson.
Yes, Dawson is a FANTASTIC character and a very likeable lad considering he´s a professional footballer, however...
football is BUSINESS, and right now Dawson is 3rd-5th choice for CB. He has been injured a lot and maybe it is very good for all parties to cash in on him. 9m is very good, more to spend for us and he can maybe revive his England career.
I´ve always liked him, but I remember far too many games when he played not with King and he was pretty much pants. (City @ home last season was cringe worthy)
On his day he can be brilliant and he wears the badge on his sleeve and would pretty much die on the field for the club, but we have better now, and he is a defender of such quality that warming the bench will not suit him.

'valued first teamer'
I would not dispute the fact that he is valued, but i would dispute the idea he was a member of the first team, we played a Creative CM and a DM, Huddlestone is a creative CM, with Modric he was backup.
It happen all the times. It's exactly the same as what Real Madrid are currently trying to do with Sahin, they're trying to loan the player out so he can get lots of games to make sure his injury hasn't had any lasting effects. Makes perfect sense for a player who has been out for almost an entire year.
