Jorge Martinez loaned to CFR Cluj.

"Juventus have allowed midfielder Jorge Martinez to join CFR Cluj on a season-long loan.

The Uruguay international has struggled to make an impact since signing for La Vecchia from Catania.

The 29-year-old agreed a four-year contract in 2010 but, after a disappointing debut season in Turin, he found himself on loan at Cesena for the 2011-12 campaign.

He will now assist the Romanian league champions in their title defense, with Cluj also facing Manchester United, Galatasaray and Braga in the group stages of the Champions League."

CFR is trying to improve their squad.But it is useless against Man United

I bet you we struggle to beat them.

I don't believe.Manchester United is a world class team.Having the last year experience in Europe will motivate players to win easily.

Lulz. I can't believe I'm reading this.

If you wanna look at last year then look at how we went down to Europa after underwhelming performances against the so-called minnows.

I guess the proper motivation for the players should be to not drop again to Europa and get beaten by some scrub teams.

And WTF did I say? Man United won't have problems anymore because they have the last year bad experience against smaller clubs and they will be motivated to win every game.

Look at our midfield and our defense.

I'm just not raising my expectations. Well, if they can sort out the defense and be successful in a makeshift midfield again then I'm going to change gears and glorify them even in the general section.

Besides, we do tend to pick up some low scoring games and draws (even losses) at the group stages.

I understand perfectly, but I am optimistic and I really want to see Manchester United playing like they did until last season.The players have potential, Sir Alex Ferguson is still a top class coach, so we should pass the group stage easily.When I say 'easily' i mean, 13 pts are enough .

I'll wait until the first legs are done before I put down my judgment on this.

Anyway, I'm all in for the league. But if we get past the group stages in the CL then it's a bonus for me.

[vizkosity]

once fletcher gets back....and phil jones matures, our midfield problem will be lessened.
Hopefully :I
until then....

As for our LB position, hopefully buttner will make evra run for his money soon enough

[jibers]

I hope we can get a draw awaytbh. We will struggle in Galatasaray.

[Vlad the Impaler]

Possible first XI vs Galata.

Johnny Blaze ahead of the rock ^.^

[vizkosity]

valencia looks out of place on the right atm

[RED]

HT. United 1-0 Galatasaray.

Long gone are the days when we used to dominate these type of teams at home in the CL.

We just look so vulnerable whenever the opposition attack.

[RED]

No way we'll challenge for the CL this season. Just not good enough.

Last 16/ or 8 at best.

[B-Mac]

we keep giving away possession in the midfield....(scholes has had a few shockers) and because we are committing so many players forward we are vulnerable on the counter....need to keep the ball better....we are trying to run and gun, need to build up play.

[RED]

*bleep* off nani!!! WTF was that. Missed the pen!!! 3 missed pens this season smh!!!!!

Im fuming!! why didnt rvp take it ffs.
