Rojo IMO was one of the worst Argentinian players, certainly in the group fase.

That's funny. I can remember same reports for every player they didn't get. So they really were only interested in Fellaini, Rojo, Shaw, and Herrera? Would worry me.

He was arguably the best LB in the world cup dude. He played every game for them...

In the group fase he wasn't doing well, and he went into the WC as their weakest link. He indeed played better after the first game and even scored against Nigeria but wasn't the best LB in the world cup. He btw aint even a LB. He did play there in Brazil I know.. He also missed a game due to a suspension, two yellow cards I think?

Yeah you're right he was suspended in the the quarter final vs Belgium. But saying that he was one of Argentina's worst players makes no sense. He was not the best but certainly not the worst

He indeed was better than expected, that's true, the Argentinian defence in general overachieved though, IMO. But I hope for Man U he'll pan out, eventhough I doubt it..

Lol at all these fully formed opinions on Rojo (not just here but in general). At best, most have seen him play out of position for 4 games. Let's simmer down.

Bye Bye Danny. Can't say I'll miss ya.

What's gonna happen with my fella Fellaini?

He's not liked in Man U I think?

got injured so I think he's forced to stay for a bit longer

I know he hasn't signed the paper work yet, but I'm all in :lol:

A real No.7 is finally back in red colors.

I still can't get over how ugly that Chevy logo is. Good luck wearing your purchase outside. I would never spend that much on such a low quality jersey. I would wait until next year and see if a redesign helps things.

Matty · Post #136 » by **Matty** » Sat Aug 23, 2014 11:21 pm

11 Goals and 22 assists in 52 games last season.

He's gonna have a field day with PL defenses.

That was the plan since they were going to switch to Adidas for next season. But I haven't bought a jersey since the fugly ones we got in 2010, which I have no idea why I got it. I like this year's design and don't mind the Chevy logo. Plus it's the last Nike design and I generally like their products.

I also have a feeling Di Maria will be very successful in a united jersey. We really haven't had a winger this good since Ronaldo.

Buzzing that we got Di Maria. Really did not think we would do it.

Still need a proper CB and DM for a proper titile challenge

I think you should wait until it's finalized man. The last thing you want is for the move to crash out and having that jersey be worth nothing
