Big ups to CR7.

As for Adriana Lima.. I've never seen the fuss about her.
I met her down in Miami at a VS signing, and she wasn't as "thrilling" as some say.

I'd personally take Cristiano's arm piece Irina in a second but I digress.

Nothing more than a panic buy. Great player but not sure he's what's needed.

They need depth at forward and a box to box midfielder. Carrick at his best was never the ideal guy at midfield. I dunno why MAN U stays with these average central midfielders.

And then when one of their own rises up with RIDICULOUS amounts of talent and strength (Pogba), we give him away for peanuts and he's now one of the top young players in the world. :smh::smh:

Ferguson never rated central midfield as a priority. The guys he had in the middle we're good enough for pace and intercepting passes, but they were never going to be the pure possession/passer types. So the pieces around central midfield were solidified in order to overlook that weakness. While we all knew what was happening, it wasn't an issue for Ferguson because he was the master at "masking" the deficiency, which in short is getting goals from every other position, and was winning while doing so.

And yes, we messed up big time with Pogba. No disrespect to Mata, but i'd much rather have one of our own in midfield to play the role. But it is what it is.

the analysts in the studio after the game (i think for sky sports) were saying that was probably the worst game barca has played and pretty much saying that they need to revamp the team and philosophy.

sort of feel sleep watching it but i will agree that the system could use some touching up.

The game was pretty bad, but they did miss a bunch of clear cut chances.

Like the BeinSports Spanish commentator said: "Dani Alves with is 4,000th cross of the game", lol.
