It's almost as if he got £180m in new players. You'd expect challenging for the title with that sort of investment IMO.

I honestly thought he was going to fail big the way things were going. I'm impressed he is turning it around. I'm aware of the situation you're alluding to...

Same here. I thought United were beyond salvation, but looks like those money spent are paying off.

He's doing an average/below average job. £180m without any European distraction is really title challenge minimum.

But I guess he's a liked coach. People have criticised Man City/Chelsea spending before. But when van Gaal breaks the all-time Premier League spending record within months of being there he gets a free pass, it seems.

I don't care about van Gaal. I agree with you. With those money they spent they should be title contenders. That being said, considering how dire they were two months ago there have been major improvements.

My sentiments.

Very nice goal!


Did anyone watch Tyne–Wear derby? Newcastle controlled most of the second half with good chances then to concede at the 90th due to a counterattack. Not that exciting..I know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

It was a really good game. Much better than Liverpool-Arsenal despite less goals.

Messi followed Chelsea on Instagram and rumours of his unhappiness at Barca are building so there's talk of a £250M move.

Absolutely (IMG:style_emoticons/default/puke.gif) worthy if true, what's football coming to?

Well that's his buyout clause. As you know in Spain the buyout clauses are astronomical and ridiculous. Ronaldo's is at a billion FFS.

He signed a new deal in May to become the world's best paid footballer but his clause did not increase. So if Chelsea or anyone else coughs up this absolutely insane amount of cash then I guess it happens.

But equally, and I know you're not into basketball, but there's a Knicks player called Carmelo Anthony. Faced with a choice last summer - go to the Bulls for $75M deal or stay with Knicks for $125M. Money has just become fucking crazy in sport, it's lost all its value.

Chelsea, Arsenal, City and Utd on red alert apparently for a potential swift return to the EPL for Suarez. It was a weird move in the first place, and seems he's unhappy there if reports are anything to go by.

He never fit, but that said he might benefit being the main man if Messi moves on.

Hmh. That would be very weird. But anything is possible.

Suarez would be great for Barça, but he plays in Messi's role. Either Messi returns to his roots and plays on the right, or Suarez will be out of the picture for not so long. Because, on paper, a Neymar-Suarez-Messi trio is the maximum a team could ask for.
