Im in love with Utds 3rd kit

Noice shoulda been our away kit.

[Sleepy]

Brasil

[momentsgolden]

Tevez has signed away apparently... seems he genuinely wants to be closer to his daughters

[Devil'sAdvocate]

Brasil

Haha, seems they are not so good at penalties!!

lets face it

they were so ulucky,the keeper saved the ball with his balls and legs like 50 times,they hit the post twice,the ball crossed the keeper but was taken off the line twice,fucking shit.

oh and argentina and uruguay a couple days ago was one of the best games i ever seen.

[Sleepy]

Your asking for trouble when you let Fred and Thiago Silva take a penalty

i agree with DA,That match was amazing

the Chile match last night was also very good

[Kevin Paul]

I can't wait any longer so excited for this season.

This looks more like a 3rd Kit tbh but away it is.

omg united playing in blue hahahaa lulz!!!11

City's new home kit is horrible. Such a shame, last year's was perfect.

Aguero on the way? I hope so...bye bye to Carlitos

I know im not the manager...I know it is pre season....BUT why does every manager we have insist on Sturridge playing out wide?

There is no room for him in the center because of Torres. And it's a 4-3-3 so there is no chance for the two to be in the center together.

@Cityfan:

Etihad in arabic means United

how do you feel about city's stadium now being called united stadium?

That was a short-lived misconception.

Etihad means 'union' or 'unity'. In other words, it is a noun. 'united' is an adjective.

OH! ....O.k Captain obvious!!!! I mean I guess it is impossible to play with 2 strikers up front?

It is something we need to of changed for a good few years now. I mean either buy wingers or play 2 up front.

Sturridge - Supposed to play CF. Is where he is proven to be more effective also
Anelka - Is a cool and calm finisher, Is ineffective out wide as he isnt the type to run at players. Holds up play to much.
Drogba - You would be stupid to play Drogba out wide.
Torres - Ditto
Malouda - One of the only players we have who fit the out wide style
Kalou - Is more effective out wide but shouldn't be at Chelsea anyway.


Buy some wingers and/or creative midfielders you cunts!!! A creative midfielder with a in form Torres and Drogba up front is dreamful!! Oh...And sell fucking KALOU!!!

*Rant over*

Don't be mad at me I just said what I thought. And yes it's possible to play with 2 up front, if it's a 4-4-2 formation (duh).

The reason why Sturridge is playing wide in a 4-4-3 is because we don't have any wingers except for Malouda. I consider Zhirkov a left back. Remember the times when Duff and Robben were crushing everything in front of them... damn.

As you said, a creative MF and a winger (2 if possible) is what we desperately need. Fuck Lukaku, fuck Aguero, fuck Neymar, fuck Falcao.

aguero to city please god no

Tevez is a wanker,proved yet again.City are dreaming if they think they will get 50 million for a player that says he will retire in 2 years.If i was them id grab anythin around 25 million

Me likes. Kind of over-priced, but whatever.

[Sleepy]

Incredibly overpriced

Torres: £50 million

Carrol: £35 million

Tevez is better than both combined by a long way. He also has 3 years left on his contract and we are incredibly, ridiculously rich. So £50 million is both the minimum we can realistically ask for, and is a reasonable price. AND, we already accepted a bid of £40 million from Corinthians who unfortunately turned out to be joking about that.

It's time he left though, enough is enough. We are good enough to have people who want to play for us. Let's hope we get Kun Aguero
