It looks like that terrible spell last season really got to them, oh well see you guys in the Champions league..... opsss

I haven't seen a team winning a pre-season tournament with 4 consecutive wins against 4 strong teams, after finishing 7th in last season.So I don't think there is anything wrong with celebrating it.>_O

Yeah at least you can say you people won a trophy
, Now Van gaal has more trophies this season than Mou, Rodgers and Pellegrini combined XD.On a serious note Van Gaal has revitalized the squad, I haven't see Ashley Young play this good since ages and Rooney has regained confidence, match against Liverpool was awesome, even though if this goes on I seriously doubt their chances, they have no defense and their attack has lost it's bite XD
But don't worry Bayern will Champions league (I speak this statement with a little skepticism after yesterdays match ) this season but Man U have nothing to worry about it.
It is a pre-season cup including Real Madrid, Manchester City, Man U, Roma , Ac Milan, Liverpool, Internazionale and Olympiacos, basically a cup which no one cares about and is used to test new strategies and untested players, which helps coaches assess their teams and an opportunity for the teams to improve market share in USA.

Though Van Gaal did actually and that's why I am attaching some significance to this otherwise unimportant tournament win.
Ashley Young and Rooney were pretty good and so was Herrera, you have to watch out for this guy. We just need some good defender(vermilion maybe?) and then we are all set to challenge many EPL teams, rather to finish in top 3 if not win the EPL.@Liverpool, I agree, their attack had lost it's bite.XD
ICC trophy was a pre-season tournament where many good teams participated.

It will be difficult, but Van Gaal can, he helped develop Bayern, Barca, even though it was not immediate. Anyways I am looking forward to see Stoke perform, they have been playing well after signing Bojan, also how well will Everton perform.Yeah we can.Lol

Develop Lukaku
Well...so...what are opinions of Chelsea fans on the fact that Lukaku left and Drogba came back?
Wow...real? I am not sure I want Boateng in Barcelona
Are you sure? I love Barcelona and really like Bayern...but I am affraid that Real Madrid currently have the best team on the world :T_T:
I was amazed at the selling of Lukaku, now it would put too much pressure on Costa, I think Mourinho might sign another striker, otherwise it is going to be hard for them. Also Schurrle might be signed by Atletico Madrid (Develop Lukaku

, that being said nothing can be speculated with certainty for Champion League .In other news Celtic were reinstated in champions league play-offs as Leiga match was forfeited after they were disqualified(

), this happened after an investigation(

) by UEFA for fielding an inelligible player Bartosz Bereszynski on the pitch, who was suspended in a Europa League match and was banned for 3 matches.While I believe the rules must be followed but I think punishment is too hard for liga as the aforesaid player was only a substitute for 4 minute and in a match which Legia Warsaw were winning 6-1 on aggregate, this is ridiculous, a fine or another punishment could have been given, as Bartosz Bereszynski didn't have any role in the match. This might cost Legia millions.

Suarez made his appeal against FIFA ban today at the court of arbitration in Switzerland, a decision is expected before the end of next week. Also Barcelona are on the verge of signing arsenal captain Thomas Vermaelen for a reported 15million pounds.
Barcelona sign Belgian CB Thomas Vermaelen from Arsenal for £15m (
And with that transfer Barcelona have paid paid for 34.6% of Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium. (
In other news Bayern Munich have signed Pepe Rina (

I think Barcelona could have done better, signing Hummels could have been better decision. Vermaelen can only be stopgap atm.Barcelona sign Belgian CB Thomas Vermaelen from Arsenal for £15m (You must be registered for see links), they have now strengthened their defense, but I don't know how will they utilize him with Barata, Pique and Mathiew in the running, he was arsenals 3rd choice CB as well but surely will strengthen their bench strength and increse defense depth.

The problem with Hummels transfer was that Hummels didn't wanted to leave Dortmund, but I agree that a better CB should have been signed. According to the news Manchester United are launching an offer for him (I think Barcelona could have done better, signing Hummels could have been better decision. Vermaelen can only be stopgap atm.
