well the conditions in Shenzhen were quite bad too. The pitch for the United-Dortmund game was horrible, not to mention the humidity. I'm really thankful to van Gaal in that regard - when the trip was planned a few months ago, they originally wanted to go for two weeks or so. Van Gaal pushed it down to 8 days.

Kolo Toure should be happy for work and holy crap, we got £13M for Welsh Xavi? No complaints there.

New Sunderland manager David Moyes wants Marouane Fellaini to join him at the Stadium of Light. Moyes signed Fellainin when he was Everton boss, and then took him to Old Trafford when he becamse United manager in 2013. A bid around the £13million mark could be enough to land the 28-year-old.

I'm sorry, I'm afraid I dont understand.

So Fellaini would leave Manchester United? And they'd receive money? What is this? Christmas?

Moyes should also take Januzaj on loan. Would surely be mutually beneficial.

In fairness he had a pretty strong Euro. If you ignore all of the fouls...which most of the refs did!

seems like United have finally bent (of course they have ...) and agreed to pay Raiolas fee, who apparently in return takes a small pay cut. The deal should finally be done within the next 48 hours, according to di Marzio and other Italian journalists. About time it was finalized.

Reals mouthpiece Marca apparently took a recent photo from Pogbas social media accounts where he's wearing all white as a sign that he really wants to join Real instead of United. Probably not a coincidence then that Pogba has just posted this

Man, don't do that to yourself-- he's going to Madrid.

you spelled "Manchester" wrong this time though

Juventus are expected to confirm the sale in a statement today. United will pay €110m (£92.5m), which also includes Raiolas fee. Seems he's taken a pay cut, since Juventus will net slightly more than €100m. Still crazy figures, but at the end of the day, it's quite a bit less than what has been reported in recent days where most of the journalists thought that United would end up paying more than €130m.

On an unrelated note, does anyone know when the Canadian broadcasters release their schedules for the upcoming season? All I see as firm are the matches in August. I'm wondering if I should bother adding Sportsnet or if most of Spurs' PL matches will be on TSN.

EDIT: Nevermind. Looks like I'm set until the end of September at the minimum.

I imagine they lottery them up and it ends up being even between the top 6 or so teams as to whether they end up on SNET/TSN since the contract is 50/50 down the middle I believe

Hes a very good and serviceable player, hes just not the guy to be running the engine room if you have aspirations of being something more.

From what I can tell hes been nothing but the consummate professional during his whole tenure, but he also never really nailed down a starting spot.
