Good morning,
Unless I’ve got this wildly wrong today’s Andy Carroll piece in the Daily Mail is er… made up.
FIFA Regulations for the Status and Transfer of Players, Chapter III: Registration of Players, Article 5.3 stated:
Players may be registered for a maximum of three clubs during the period from 1 July until 30 June of the following year. During this period, the player is only eligible to play in Official Matches for two clubs.
Andy Carroll came on in the 83rd minute for Borini in the Liverpool vs Manchester City game on the 26th of August. So if we did buy him it would be shall we say, an ambitious tactic to put it mildly.
I’m upset about Carroll being called a donkey.
Anyone can see he’s just a sack of potatoes
Oi!
You take that back right now. I find that highly offensive. My grandfather was a sack of potatoes, and Carroll isn’t fit to lace his boots.

Brilliant.
:-D :-D
So just to get this right. A Professional journo has said that we’re going for a player, who we can’t sign and of whom our manager ha previously said that he had no interest in at a time when he could’ve signed him? Oh,it’s a Mail journo!-now I get it!
And the Journo wasn’t aware that he’s a Donkey either.
Perhaps Ass-nal might go for him?
Ass-nil
Ass-nick
Ass-crack
Ass-holes
Daily Mail = Total pathetic joke reporters.
Watching United vs Arsenal at the weekend, what stood out for me was how hard Rooney worked to close down the deep lying Arteta. As a result Arsenal never got going.
In Rooney United have a player with fantastic ability as well as one who works his socks off. The work ethic of the team matches that of Rooney.
If you watch Dempsey, sure he is not in great form but he does not put that sort of effort in, especially for one who sits between the striker and midfield. Sigurdsson does work very hard but he is compensating for a lack of quality so feels the need.
Until we have a team/squad of players who understand and are able to work their socks off as a bare minimum then we will continue to be a team that can beat anyone on their day but will often come unstuck, usually when it’s least expected.
AVB needs to develop this work ethic, so on our bad days at least our work etic will carry us through.
Dempsey needs to get his head up, pass the ball and work harder
If Rooney loses the ball from an attacking position he’ll harry and chase until he’s atoned for his error; Dempsey sits on the floor rubbing his head.
The really unfortunate aspect of the Dempsey saga is that Kane was allowed to go out on loan to Norwich (where he broke his ankle on his second appearance) — something that wouldn’t have happened if Dempsey hadn’t been signed.
Sigurdsson might not have set the world alight yet, but I’d start him ahead of Dempsey every single time.
I agree re: Sigurdsson. At least he gives his all and when we are not at our best that is what is needed.
We have 3 players that work hard, Parker, Sandro and Vertonghen, in fact Vertonghen last Sunday worked his socks off trying to make something happen but the rest were so poor he was flogging a dead horse. Vertonghen is a gem, can see the big clubs knocking for him before long.
I wouldn’t! Sigurdsson is a waste of money IMO. No point in giving your all when your all is passing the ball repeatedly to the opposition. I hope he comes good but i doubt it!
Yes, Devonshirespur, I agree. The problem on Saturday seemed to be that we didn’t want it enough, so we didn’t work hard enough. Rooney and co would NEVER be found wanting in that regard. It’s only Wigan so we just need to turn up to win, right? Er, no
