Meanwhile, Man Utd are beginning to consider whether to ponder whether to prepare some bids for a number of players.

 

Once they have finished considering and actually decided to ponder, they may well move on actually preparing something. Of course that would be dependent on how much they ponder and if they conisider doing it.

 

Hopefully if they eventually get round to preparing something, they will begin to consider whether or not to submit.

It is, pie-eater. Hence the amount of conisidering, pondering and subsequent preparation required.

Of course, if we get the bids in by 3pm on the final day of the transfer window, it then allows us to take it up the bottom and pay way more than we need to in order to get said players.

Or maybe even just not get them.

And of course it's also makes it all the more exciting/disappointing.

Find it hard to believe that United won't be buying more.

It like the idea, though.

 

From a "how good is Van Gaal?" perspective, the fewer players they sign, the better!

But yeah, no new center half in spite of all that money sitting in the bank, the dude all set to pay a three center-half formation, and two center halves having just left.

Makes you wonder what is going on.

Pards has just come out and said Newcastle's target this year is 48 points, i.e., fewer points than last season where we played with relegation form for the last 15 games. :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh:

This is definitely a big worry.

 

If he can turn Young into a decent and consistent player though, kudos to him.

That would like magic, or something.

 

But don't want him faffing about taking mad risks just for the end goal of some kind of personal glory.

:grandpa:

The rags still seem to have United "swooping" for Tia Maria and Vidal Sassoon.

 

Tia Maria - get it together! I tried looking for that ad on Youtubes once but it wasn't to be found.

 

di Maria is a fantastic player, and should be one of the best in the whole league, but where does he play in a 3-5-2? There is already no place for Januzaj.

 

With Evans out, the spectre of Carrick at center half is already looming large. With Shaw out and the Butt away, there is no left back either.

Everton could do really well again this time.

I reckon Martinez is suspect defensively but Moyes left him such good players in that department that it doesn't matter.

Pitch-invaders are not uncommon in football, with streakers, protesters and giddy fans all having galloped on to the pitch to disrupt the flow of a match over the years. They’re not always human either. Animal interlopers number among them cats, dogs, foxes, birds, rabbits and rodents.

 

But cows on the turf are not such a regular sight. Particularly in a national cup competition.

 

In the Copa Perú – a series of league tournaments that offer the winner and runner-up promotion to the nation’s first and second divisions – a match between Minsa FBC and Expreso Inambari in the rural south-east was brought to a halt by cattle from a neighbouring field.

 

Perhaps the overgrown pitch –the substandard facilities is evidence of the lack of investment in the deprived regions – invited the cows on, or maybe they were just excited. Either way, with the help of some dogs, they were soon shooed away and the match was able to resume.
