Oh don't worry, I already look like a dick with my MEMPHIS 7 shirt I can never fucking wear anymore since he's shit.
I will say I'm more trying to start a "collection" than make a fashion statement FWIW (if it's worth anything).
edit: FOSU-MENSAH 24 might be a shout too
Excellent. Makes up for the undisclosed (which probably means poor) Cisse money.
You'd look like a dickhead wearing a 'Memphis 7' shirt even if he was great. Getting a name on the back of your shirt is fine when you're a child, but if you're going to do it as an adult then at least have the dignity not to get the name of someone significantly younger than you.
Wearing what you want is also fine.
You sound like you've had a bad experience. I saw someone on Wearside the other day with a Leicester Away top with 'Lineker 10' on the back.Originally Posted by John
What a bizarre thing to take issue with
I play it safe and either get my own name and number on the back (I used to get sixteen for Roy Keane, but it's been seven for years now), or the number of titles they have won.
If you want to go timeless United on top of 4 and ever under it is the best I have on my centenary kit. Players and titles come and go, but United are 4-ever.
It's a bizarre thing to do.What a bizarre thing to take issue with
I had the 2010 goalkeeper kit with 'I - 8 - CITY' on it, but the banter was lost on everyone lolling at me for buying the goalkeeper kit like a fat eight year old.
You would have been the last person I'd expect to be wearing football shirts.
Is Bruhnaldo factoring the price of shorts and socks into how much he's going to spend?
I had a lovely Italy shirt as a kid, and tore the back of it while hopping over a metal, spiked fence. It stayed on me but connected to the caught part about 10 feet high on the fence.
I've no idea about Wijnaldum really, but buying all these costly attacking midfielders makes me think Coutinho could be off somewhere for big money before the window is done, which probably wouldn't be a bad thing.
They're over-priced, half of them look like shit, and I get a right sweat on wearing them (the ones with a collar or a bit of a v-neck are a lifesaver); but it seems like the best way of supporting the lads without actually having to bother going to the games.
JanuzajUnited have also announced their squad numbers (number six left open for Gaetano Scirea), and Anthony Martial switching to number eleven appears to have caught a load of full kit wankers out.
Zlatan is older than me
I don't understand our transfer strategy in the slightest, but who gives a fuck. It's only football, lads.
Looks like Madrid are back in the running Lewis mate.
Nowadays they should all have superswishmicrotechcoolability™ to stop you being soaked in sweat.
At one point Gini seemed like the kind of fella too good for us. Then he nosedived and there became a realisation he was a Dutch Sissoko. Although Steve kept putting him out wide when he was impressing down the middle.
Bailly = 3United have also announced their squad numbers (number six left open for Gaetano Scirea), and Anthony Martial switching to number eleven appears to have caught a load of full kit wankers out.
Possibly an indication of Mourinho intending to play him first choice left back? Tough, tall, defensive fullback similar to Ivanovic. (He apparently played left and right back as well as CB last season.)
I have a theory that the sweating is from concentrating on not falling over in my boots, but it might also be the hat and half-and-half scarves.
You'd hope Wijnaldum would be used in the midfield three rather than up top.
I think it's more that Luke Shaw is a dickhead who doesn't understand how squad numbers are meant to work.
Speaking of kits. The greatest thing I ever saw was a kid wearing a Tottenham shit with 'Sheringham 10' on the back.
Teddy had just been sold to United though so he had taken a permanent marker, crossed out 'Sheringham' and had written 'Ferdinand' just above.
It was amazing.
I bought a Beckham top weeks before he went to Madrid
Wasn't it pretty much nailed on that he was gone during that game when he came off the bench and scored twice v Real Madrid? Or was that after you bought it?
I remember him clapping the Madrid fans but could have imagined that.
One of the best games I've ever seen probably. Ronaldo was unreal.
Swedish media are reporting that Chelsea have met Benficas release clause for Victor Nilsson Lindelöf at around Ł30 million.

No smoke without fire lads.
Is it not just a whole lot handier to buy one with no name or number on the back?
Any adult who buys a kit with a name and number deserves the player to leave ASAP. Wankery of the highest order.
Shut up, I still have fond memories of my, now lost it seems, George Weah Milan shirt that I had when I was like 12.
Yes, I was like 12, but I would damn well buy another Weah shirt if I could find it today.

... WHO IS ONLY 39 YEARS OLD? What is he, a Vampire? I'm sure he was around when I was about 5.
He was one of the original players when i started watching properly in 98. Made a penalty save from owen is what i can remember.
Looking at his career stats
15 different clubs he has played for
300 games
Being a journeyman goalkeeper is probably the easiest position to play in football
Back-up keeper is the dream
Hilario
Borussia Dortmund have announced the signing of Andre Schurrle from Wolfsburg. Schurrle, Gotze, Reus; Aubayameyang
And Arsenal have announced Rob Holding from Bolton via a game of 'Who Is This?'
Understandable if Danny Ward is off on loan to actually play for the year.
Our expensive signings are serious facepalm material though. We've spent the best part of Ł60m on buying players for the position we're already strongest. I wouldn't exactly call either better than what we have already too.
Meanwhile we're about to let the scouse Cafu go out on loan to Burnley leaving us with a grand total of fuck all behind Clyne or Moreno at either full back position. I also didn't think after last seasons shit show that we'd start this coming one with Moreno as still our starting left back. Hopefully we're not done yet, but then again who knows.
Seems like something someone uncomfortable with themselves would worry about. Not saying you, but I never understood the fuss. I like certain players more than others. I got a SMALLING12 last year as well.
I don't see any problem with paying tribute to a player you like. MEMPHIS7 came from me being excited about his potential and the fact he was #7.
I always thought it'd be disrespectful for some reason to put my own name and make up a number for some reason. Can't really explain why, but ya.
I wouldn't be caught dead. I can't even wear athletic shorts with the shirt as I'm too afraid of looking like a #FKW
I don't disagree. They're wayyyy overpriced. Here in the 'States, they sell Orlando City tops for 150$. That's not a fucking misprint. I couldn't believe my eyes. Mind you, same store sold United/Chelsea tops for half that price.
A premium to support "your local club" I guess.
Fear not, basically every shirt I've bought has been bad luck for the player.
I have a RAFAEL2 with gold badges. I don't think he made more than 5 appearances after I bought it lmfao.
Smalling didn't really have a great year last year. Memphis flopped.
It's a curse, I'm deathly afraid to buy a Zlatan shirt given, in my opinion, he's dead-on to underwhelm anyhow.
For some reason I've warmed to the idea of bringing Balotelli in with a low salary and huge goal bonuses. Maybe a serious environment like Juve could be right for him.
Then I remember that he's Balotelli and he's wasted enough chances.
But it might well be worth a gamble if he is open to a big salary cut.
Stop talking about shirts please.
No.
I don't get wearing named shirts, but i also don't care.
Been refreshingly quiet on the De Gea front so far this summer.
If United end up signing Pogba, Real will definitely start unsettling everyone else of any worth in Europe.

This holding youth arsenal have just signed. I guess he is going to be another jenkinson. I like how arsenal actively go out and buy young english players and actually play them.
Arsenal keep buying these "HYPED" talents that you never hear about again. What was that Polish guy Bielik or something? He was supposed to be the new white Viera or something.
Webs says Bielik is 18 and only signed in 2015. I think you may be expecting too much too soon. Actually at that age, fabregas was already running games from midfield so i understand your point.
Then again, the new age for people to break through seems to be 29, soooo.
