Who would've thought we'd make three new signings during the International break.
Mourinho pre-match conference -Newcastle United
- Thread starter No Idea For Nickname
- Start date
I hope its 4 and not 3.
That's another exciting solution. Would love to see both Rashford and Martial run rampant on the wings though.
Meh only for marketing reasons, not to improve our team. At least that's what I learnt that on Caf.
I think Zlatan as #10 could free up a lot of space for Lukaku. You can't let him be as he has a cannonball of a distance shot with good placement, but he's hard to pressure once he has control of the ball too.
He's a feel player though and he's been away from it and old, so his touch will be shite. Too driven to be a passenger though. Can count on him to put a shift in.

Really excited about this one! Glad this was the last international break until March.
Really? Luke Shaw has shown nothing that he deserves to be part of winning side.
His name on the teamsheet might sound better than Young but he's not.
I'm so glad we signed Martial this year so he can play along side them!
Was concerned about Zlatan returning and disrupting our team during the period Lukaku was scoring in every game. But now that Lukaku is clearly off-form, am feeling better about Zlatan's return. Hope he plays as a second striker right behind Lukaku. May a long winning streak begin tomorrow.
I think if Valencia can up his game and started to put in some decent crosses we will create trouble for any team.
Well let’s hope he bucks that trend over the coming weeks, I’m looking forward to having him back, I wouldn’t want to be a defender facing them 2 big bastards.
We might be shite on the field of play but boy we will scare them from the bench! Only joking... 
Nice press con,the manager looked upbeat for a change...
Man, I would kill for that lineup!
If only Mkhi and Shaw would get with the programme. We'd have some great options off the bench. Hopefully Jose will address the squad depth issue in Jan and the summer.Rojo? Not so sure although he did have surprisingly a good run off form after being very poor since signing but the other two definitely. Think I’d prefer Jones and Bailley to be honest. I’d also like to see Tunzabe get more game time but very happy also at Rojo being back in contention again.
Good presser, It always feels good when the boss looks good and ready and not moaning about anything.
Can Ibra play as num 10? Instead of Mikhitaryan? I find it truly hard though.

I don't know why but I just always want to give Simon Stone a good bitch-slapping!
What about Fellaini? Is he still injured?
Well, he played against Chelsea.
Then again we're making great strides in the Swedish market.
I think it'll happen in the CL, this year, if we make it to the later stages.
I hear that he did step up.
He stepped up in the Chinese takeaway.
I hear he was also fantastic in the local kebab shop.
And at Dominos Pizza - he was irresistible.
Just had Fellaini behind Zlatan for effect.
All seems to be good news!!
Anyone seen a confirmed squad list for tomorrow?
The way Mikhitaryan has been playing recently, i would fancy my chances there to be honest.
They're not spending the night at the hotel, so only tomorrow we get to know that.
Yes one of the greatest mysteries of football. Why cannot even one manager get him to cross the ball instead of jumping up and down on the spot like a boxer and waiting for an opposing player to come to him and then kick the ball against him?Said everyone ever for the past 100 years
I think it was the Everton game and he had the ball on the right wing position. The closest Everton player was in his own box. Valencia waited near the corner flag till he came jogging across to him and then kicked it against him for a corner. You would not believe this but it is true.

So Jones got 6 injections in order to play for a fecking friendly. Pretty embarrassing from Southgate and England NT.

That is Jones' own doing. The player will never be forced to take injections. Jones wanted to play and was happy to take the injections.
I think if a player is asked to play, he'll play whatever injury he has imo. England shouldn't have put in contest to start with, and should have ruled him immediately.
Honestly I just watched the embargoed section and it came across as Jose being a bit annoyed at Jones for not pulling out. More so than being angry at England.
Bullshit.
If you’re asked to play for your country you agree. You can’t be seen to refuse to play for your county.
You should not be forced to have multiple injections to be able to play, completely Southagtes (or whoever suggested Jones must play) fault
The FA said they were in communication with Man Us medical dept throughout.
I do love an FA v Jose spat, oh the memories!

Idiots. Both England and Jones.
Ah, ok mate, cheers, just wanted to know it the 3 definitely are in the match day squad!
6 injections not sure how this could be? I teach injections why would someone need six locals?
I blame the doctors its there job to protect the player not give him 6 fecking injections just to play a fecking friendly
