Arsenal Balls: Manchester United Pay £7m Over Asking Price For Thomas Vermaelen

ARSENAL Balls: The Sun leads with an “exclusive” on “Arsenal misfit” Thomas Vermaelen.

DAVID MOYES has targeted Arsenal misfit Thomas Vermaelen to replace Manchester United hero Nemanja Vidic. The Belgian central defender is no longer a regular at the Emirates, but the Gunners would still demand a £12million fee from one of their rivals.

He is a close pal of Robin van Persie and the pair share the same agent in Kees Vos.

Why Arsenal would sell another captain to a rival side – and why the Belgian would want to play for an average United team from which Van Persie might well depart in the summer – is a mute point for the Sun’s Charlie Wyett. As is the news that his exclusive is that the player said back in 2012:

“I have no intention of leaving this club. I feel at home in ­London and I feel that I have become a real Gunner. Arsenal is my club. In my eyes, they belong to the absolute elite of European top clubs. When I was young, I dreamed of playing for Ajax and Arsenal. Both dreams have come true.”

 

In November 2013, he said:

“I keep reading stories that I want to leave. But that’s not the case.”

Lookalikes: Manchester United Fan Mick Hucknall Is Charlie Drake

WATCHING Manchester United’s Premier League match with (there’s only one ‘f’ in) Fulham, Anorak was struck by a figure in the crowd. Seated alongside Sir Alex Ferguson was flame-haired crooner Mick Hucknall.  We couldn’t help but notice that Hucknall looks a lot like the late comedian  Charlie Drake. His catchphrase was ‘Hello, my darlings’. It’s known that Hucknall has a way with the women, too. Can they be related?

Manchester United Laugh-In: Chelsea Fans Discuss Players Who Don’t Exist – Go Blues

MANCHESTER United fans and TalkSPORT’s Andrew Ryan took a leaf from Jimmy Kimmel’s joke book and talked with Chelsea fans outside Stamford Bridge about a few of the club’s rumoured January transfer targets. Only, none of the players he mentions exits. He made them up. Hilarity ensures.

Old Chelsea fans who can remember Kerry Dixon’s goalscoring exploits and are now priced out of the ground by the rugby-loving Henrys and American bankers can laugh along.

Go Blues!

Manchester United Balls: Moyes Is ‘Bold’ To Buy Chelsea’s Best Player

IT looks a lot like Juan Mata – Chelsea’s Player of the season for the past two seasons – is on his way to Manchester United for a club-record fee. Oliver Holt is a Manchester United fan writing for the Daily Mirror. He reaches the kind of audience most fans can only dream of. He says that if Moyes flops at United “No one will remember 11 years of worthy over-achievement at Everton”. Everton fans might.

Failure for Moyes and “he knows that people will come to him, deep into his old age, and ask him about Manchester United, and he will look back in anger.”

Revealed: Manchester United’s Chris Smalling Is A Jihadi Pretending To Be A Footballer

MANCHESTER United defender Chris Smalling might be a jihadi. Last night, Smalling and his girlfriend hosted a private fancy dress party to celebrate Christmas and their respective birthdays. Smalling came as ‘The Jagerbomber’. He was the jihadi with Red Bull and Jagermeister cans and bottles strapped to his vestments.

Can it be that in the privacy of his own home, Smalling relaxes in his more usual attire as an Islamist hellbent on the destruction of the West? Is he plotting to bomb Old Trafford, owned by those infidel Jews in partnership with their traditional bedfellow, the Red Devil?

Manchester United: Gloomy Fans Sing Up For Moyes’ ‘Fergie’s Boys’

HOW was Manchester United’s match at Old Trafford last night? Well, the Red Devils won their Champions’ League match. Shakhtar Donetsk

Mark Ogden, Telegraph:

United’s supporters continue to give Moyes their full backing, both vocally and with banners such as the one that read: “Believe in yourself Moyes, the rest will follow.” The manager was also backed by a rendition of “Come on David Moyes, play like Fergie’s boys” and “David Moyes’s red and white army”. He can at least count on the fans as he attempts to arrest United’s slump.

The silly sod. United are huge. Adam Crafton (as in craft on a story to a headline or photo) adds:

Manchester United have missed out on signing long-term target Bruno Gomes, after the striker declared that he has agreed to join Internacional.

Manchester United Balls: More Expertise From Liverpool’s Souness

HAVING dealt with Arsenal being the inferior of Spurs, Liverpool legend and football expert head Graeme Souness turned his attention to Manchester United’s Champions’ League match against Bayer Leverkusen:

“They will go to Germany with the mindset of not getting beat – and that’s a strange attitude for Manchester United because their approach under Sir Alex Ferguson was to try to win every game. I expect them to be cute and cagey against a Leverkusen team who are second in the Bundesliga after beating Hertha Berlin at the weekend. This will not be an easy game for Man United and I am very interested to see their mental approach.”

Manchester Untied won 5-0.
