I think Atletico are preparing to let Costa go, regardless of where he ends up.

Apparently Oliver Torres would be coming back from his loan spell at Villarreal to fill the gap, but a quick Google search tells me he's hardly getting a game there.

More a case of Chelsea not wanting to pay him a billion zillion pounds-per-week like Monaco did than missing out on him.

I meant he missed him from the list of strikers we've been linked with, not that we missed out on him.

Athletico Madrid have an awesome track record of scouting strikers. I can't remember a time when they didn't have a striker banging in 20 goals. Hasselbaink, Vieri, Torres, Aguero, Forlan, Falcao, Costa, etc, pretty impressive list of successful goal-scorers.

[King Ellis]

They should sign Danny Welbeck and get him scoring the way they did Forlan.

[stokeriño]

Missed Falcao.

I'm not counting January rumours and I don't think I've seen him linked since then.

That doesn't matter, if you're playing up front for Atletico you automatically become a world class striker because they must have one at all times. It's voodoo or something!

[Baddar]

In that case I echo what Ellis said.

[DavidMarrio]

They aren't miracle workers though...

Randomly reading Robbie Savages 'Manchester XI' article and found this stat: Samir Nasri has more 'pre-assists' than any other player in the league.

I hate stats.

United/City tonight should be great for Phil Jones faces.

Second assist, Ellis!

[Hobo]

He is the man who assists the assist!

Hello!

[Baddar]

Tom Cleverley! :/

Hughesy has all the assists and the second assists, the third assists...

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Scholes in the studio and he's pretty bloody brilliant.

[stokeriño]

United take 45 seconds to ship their first goal.

How shockingly predictable.

[Dan]

Could do with him on the pitch.

[stokeriño]

They very nearly gifted them a second with a shoddy square pass there. In the end Silva's shot is blocked.

Wonder how long it will be until a United players gets a touch inside the City box (if ever)...
