Will be hard to do since we can't sign him yet. The transfer window opens on Saturday

Free transfers can be signed whenever, don't need an active window for that.

Happy new year fellow caftards!!!

12:45 kick off which is 13:45 here isnt very good and Im not sure if I'll be able to watch it.
Already nervous nevertheless..

 

[He Comes From Serbia]

Wish the game was earlier to be honest, something like 12, like on boxing day. Got family coming round tomorrow which probably means that I won't watch it.

THIS IS AN IMPORTANT REMINDER TO ALL CAF MEMBERS!

Spoiler

Looks like rumors are right, Herrera is in the squad. He posted this on instagram some 12 hours ago.

The way the Spanish contingent buddy up is so darling, why are our Spaniards so adorable?

Out of curiosity, our history isn't laced with Spaniards, is it? Pique? Who else?

 

[Alex Styles]

We're better off without him haha.

Obviously that's just your opinion. Of course we CAN win this without him but I'm not too sure that we're 'better off without him' for a game against Stoke City who have such a physical playing style. TBF I thought we'd struggle against newcastle without Felli given that they are also a very physical side, except they played like crap for the most part (giving us acres of space) and we therefore had our way with them.

 

[Anduin]

Ricardo? Can't remember anyone else atm.

Stoke have moved away from the physical and long ball approach. They are trying to play proper football now. Physicality is overrated in England

 

[FC Ronaldo]

Any team news leaks yet?

They are, but there is still a nasty side to them. If Charlie Adam ends up in the side our players will need to be wearing steel shinpads.

 

[Amethyst]

My predicted line up:

De Gea; Smalling, Jones, Evans; Rafael, Rooney, Carrick, Young; Mata, Falcao, van Persie

Di Maria, Hererra, Wilson

 

[R0nald0]

hi,

does anybody have a stream of the game - my normal source has closed down.

Please PM me

 

[villain]

Hoping we go back to 4 at the back, but it's unlikely.

 

[Pexbo]

After hearing the various tidbits of news I'm going for (although my prediction was already in )

De Gea
Jones - Smalling - Evans
Young - Carrick - Rooney - Shaw
Mata
Van Persie - Falcao

​

Edit - thought it looked strong, 12 players ha.

 

[Catt]

I predict a boring game today were we'll struggle to get any momentum and string 5 passes together. 2-1 Stoke.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

New Years Day and a cold and windy Britannia , could be the first banana skin of the year.
I have predicted a 3-1 in but in the back of my mind is the thought we could struggle.

 

[RVP's grey hair]

Struggle to see beyond a boring draw today

 

[Mullet_Man]

I predict a boring game today were we'll struggle to get any momentum and string 5 passes together. 2-1 Stoke.

That's the spirit!!!

 

[Damien]

2:0 to United.

 

[thegregster]

I think/hope that our possession game will be very difficult for Stoke to handle. I dont think they will be able to counter attack like Villa did.

 

[LARulz]

De Gea
Jones - Smalling - Evans
Young - Carrick - Rooney - Shaw
Mata
Van Persie - Falcao

Damn, just missed the edit. Was about to say that I think we could take Stoke with 12 players

 

[Tarrou]

Is it line-ups time now? I've got my timezones all to feck

That's some claim Mr Dyson

 

[thegregster]

Yes. Any second now.

 

[Irrational.]

If we come out of this game with any sort of win against these brutes without an injury I'll be elated.

 

[Sandikan]

you what?

Shawcross, Huth, Crouch, Walters, Adam, and a fair few others would disagree.

They're hardly a one touch team of flair players

 

[Phil84]

I have been impressed recently with the development of the understanding between our forward players. The link up play is getting better and when we click properly for a full game, then I predict a team will get hammered. Hope it's today.

Young on the right wing negates most of his attacking unpredictability. Valencia must be injured.

I had the same teamed picked in a WhatsApp group. I saw herrera, and panicked that I only had 10 players picked.....I dislike you now for hurting my brain

 

[Maroo]

This could be any of 3-5-2, 4-4-2, 4-1-4-1 or 4-3-3
