Need to put Dan and Steve in a room together now.
Pauw knows I've had a semi for Jesus for ages now (such a hero, what a goal) but smurf me, I think I've developed a full on man crush for Negredo. Beast is the best nickname. God damn crazy giant bastard making more sweet touches and passes than most of the technical midgets in our team. He's insane. Has there been a better signing this season? Geniune non-rhetorical question btw, a lot more difficult for me to follow other teams progress on this side of the world. I can't imagine it though.
I am a p. big fan of Negredo as well. What's also important is that he enables Aguero to play his game too - big man, little man. Sort of like Heskey and Owen, if Owen was good.
Best signing? Blow it out your ass. Jonjo Shelvey to Swansea and Andy Carroll to West Ham, sunshine.
In the best of the rest, well, definitely the best attacking signing - he whoops Spurs and Chelsea's collection in Soldado, Lamela, Eriksen, Eto'o and Schurrle, that's for sure. I'd say he's been better than Ozil too, as Krakow Pauw started well but has faded a little bit recently. Lukaku is good, if you can count loan signings.
However, I think a couple of defensive signings may have been better - Dejan Lovren and Simon Mignolet. Southampton's defence used to be pure comedy (now it's just the goalkeeper apparently) and Lovren has been absolutely massive for them. I have him in my work Fantasy Football team and he just racks up the points. Mignolet has been smurfing brilliant for 'pool and by my reckoning has saved us at least 5 points (including a last minute penalty, what a boss) that Pepe would have smurfed up. I loved Pepe, I did, but it was time to put the old boy down. He was becoming a liability and it sucked because I liked him so much.
I would add in some other signing or something, but Paul's pretty much covered the lot.
OH WAIT HE FORGOT FELLAINI MAN HOW GREAT IS HE.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
It's all about Wilfried 'I only score in Europe' Bony.
How dog trout are Fulham recently?

What a night of football!
If you're reading this, stop: you should be watching Match of the Day instead. Also lol moyes
Glad to see my beloved Everton can put away those mid-table sides
... I need to make the most of those remarks while I can. It'll probably be another 21 years before I can make them again.
Remember when I told you all that Moyes was a clogger and not good enough to manage a big team like Man United and you all jumped on me and said he was great?
Remember when I said Suarez was one of the most technical/skilful players in the league's history in the same bracket as Bergkamp, Zola and Le Tissier? Even though I don't think some of you quite understood what I was trying to say, you all dogpiled on me and rubbished it?
Remember when I said Jonjo Shelvey is an undisputed beast and King of Football and a couple of you acted moderately confused while Cuch said he was trout?
Get to smurf, the lot of you.
Incidentally, I watched Matt Le Tissier compilations on YouTube the other day. Absolutely sublime. Whenever people go "Duhhh why can't England produce technical players like Spain?" it's because when we do, we give them less than 10 caps. What a waste.
Still not worried about Moyes' abilities, in all honesty. I'll be content with a CL spot this season after our awful transfer window, and we're only five points out of that yet. Long way to go, and judging a manager so early in his first season at a new club is something that is below you, Psy.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
I've judged him on 10 years if the turgid dross he served up at Everton. I never understood why people had a soft spot for them when they played such of awful football. I know I shouldn't but I actually quite like watching them play now
Ps: I judged Roy Hodgson so early in his first season too, as did the owners. It was the right call. And at least Roy's old boy Konchesky didn't cost £27m
I judge the chairman for that transfer, and also for the lack of good transfers elsewhere. Awful.
I trust Sir Alex to have a good idea of who is the right manager for United, and I'm pretty sure he always wanted Moyes.

After his last few games alternating between being anonymous and a liability, he's had his game as king of football, so next week he is due two own goals. He should be dropped nowRemember when I said Jonjo Shelvey is an undisputed beast and King of Football and a couple of you acted moderately confused while Cuch said he was trout?
In other news, this is shaping to be my favourite season in a while. Man Utd floundering as fans leave in droves, Mourinho press conferences, Swans still in Europe and Joe Allen missing open goals from 6 yards.

Just remember: £5m for Shelvey, £15m for Allen. Yep.
I have to say that I still rate Moyes as a manager, though I will concede that I was probably unduly pessimistic about Everton without him. Though I don't think I'm ever anything but pessimistic about Everton. I don't think you can deny that he massively improved Everton over his eleven years. If United give him time and money, I'm sure they'll be back in the top 4.
Having said that, I'm finding Roberto Martinez nowhere near as infuriating as I thought I might. But I suppose his optimism and cheeriness is probably win when we're winning and our defence hasn't quite gone to the dogs like I thought it might.
