When you support a team with wingers like Downing and, eh - I think that's about it, I can understand why you wouldn't want one of the world's best wingers playing for your team.
RAWK Goes Into Meltdown (2012/2013)

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

I just dont' like him, sorry. The same way as a lot of you don't like Stevie G and think he's over rated when clearly he would have walked into your team every season since he broke into the first team at Liverpool, and why you wouldn't entertain the idea of Suarez playing for you (Evra stuff aside).
Ah, so he does rate him, it's just a personal grudge against him as a person.
Bless.
Bless.
Did M'n'M really say that Downing was gonna be a superstar?!
c'ept now.
Wait, what?
-Admit player would make your fist XI? Check
-Admit player is better then your current player in same position? Check
-Decide you wouldn't want said player, who you've already admitted would get into your team and is better then your current players, at your club? Check
Scouse logic. It's flawless.
It's pretty obvious what M'n'M is saying. If United signed Busquets tomorrow I'm sure there would be some unhappy people on the Caf, in spite of his talents.
Some people just don't like certain players. I am beginning to dislike the way fans of other clubs are targeted here.Wait, what?

I wouldn't want a player I don't like at my club - even if he was better than what we have. If he signed, I'd support him, but I can still not like him.
It's not rocket science.
Downing isn't good enough (I was wrong)
Nani is better
If we sold Downing for £20m (for talk's sake) would I want to spend that on Nani? No

Yes. Yes I did and I have been made to pay for that prediction everytime I have seen him run to the half way line, be confronted by a defender, then turn around and pass it back.
I hope it was first season syndrome and we'll see better this year but I doubt it.
That's actually quite a solid opinion. I don't see why people are jumping onto him for this. I like Gerrard as a PL player. Do I want him to play for us? NO.
Yeah it's embarrassing. What makes this forum better than most is that fans from other clubs are allowed on here and it adds to most discussions. Banter and piss-taking is all fair game but some of the relentless nit-picking is just playground stuff.
Only you will know how you came to that conclusion from what I posted Sam.
Nothing wrong with that. I wouldn't want Tevez, Busquets or a few others on our team despite their obvious quality.Wait, what?

Why have we decided to start unnecessarily tormenting opposition fans on the Caf? I for one think that diversity adds to the forum.
He (Suarez) may be a cnut, but he's "their cnut".
We've applied the same logic in the past. Though admittedly Suarez is a new low.
To be fair, once he clarified it was a personal grudge against Nani rather than not rating him as a footballer, nobody really gave a feck.
Its pretty obvious really.
Nani's not exactly the easiest player to like for opposition fans, what with his theatrics. Hell, it pisses us United fans off at times. That's the only, logical, reason you can have for disliking him..its not like he goes around biting other players ears', pulling other players hair, trying to break their legs, or making racist remarks
It's totally illogical though, he says he wouldn't want Nani, because he doesn't like him. Yet he'd take Rooney. Rooney's far more of a cnut then Nani has ever been. Nani's just a bit of a fanny at times.
I can understand why suppoerts adore Suarez and don't like Nani, makes perfect sense....
Personally, I'd love to have a Gerrard at his peak playing for United.
Putting aside your mistake in thinking I am one of them...
I would have thought the only reason why a MU fan wouldn't want SG at his peak in their team is purely down to the LFC/MU history of dislike....purely on football terms surely he would be worthy of a place in most teams.
Suarez is a different kettle of fish....he just seems a nasty moaning twat and I'm not sure if he deserves to be thought of as a definite to walk into MU/City/CFC
Either of them can come and join us at Elland Road though
Bringing in Suarez is obviously stupid. He's a racist, neck biting, team mate fighting, cheating asshole.
There's no comparison.
I agree, for some reason there's a negative perception about Nani outside of United fans. I really don't understand why. Yes he goes down dramatically. So does everyone else. Maybe its the inevitable association with Ronaldo, other than that I can't imagine what it is that seems to tick people off. Maybe its just because he's rather good.
With Nani its always polemic.
Think M'n'M's making complete sense personally - supporting/loving a football club isn't just about having the best XI players possible. There are plenty of players I wouldn't want at Utd who are perfectly good at football - they're just objectionable cnuts.
Yep I agree SecondFig. And there's too much bullying going on in here and not enough laughing at RAWK!
That's your opinion. Different types of cuntishness rub off the wrong way on different people.
There would also be the absolute joy for them of pissing both us and Everton off. Not that it would ever happen.
I love you RAWK
You honestly left Hernandez out of your list.
It is lucky for you (and most) that United is in the position of luxury to say no to plenty of 3/4 gambles on cnut players.
For someone who has watched a team slip from outside-chance top4 finishers to complete non-entity there is absolutely no scope to call a cnut a cnut. If they are an unbelievable footballer and a cnut it's a no-brainer on which you choose. Ultimately the results are what counts on the pitch. If Nani is a bit of a fanny but does the business and you STILL don't want him then he (or whoever) haven't a clue, sorry.
Everyone is a cnut, the only difference is whose cnut is it.

He'd be welcome alright. Would cost a wee bit adequately restraining Suarez though. With them teeth he'd need a fair sized muzzle on him.
If anyone would be unhappy with Busquets signing, they'd be idiots.
