As a Liverpool fan can I just thank you for bringing Zlatan to the BPL! That lion is a legend!

07 Nov 2016 14:45:36
Lfc fan and not here to gloat about us being top of the table or 8 points clear (sorry is a rarity so just let me enjoi it! ) .

But curious about your opinions about Rooney. Personally think it would be best if you parted ways. Ibra is your new talisman and think you should back him and let him and rashford fight it out. He isn't a midfielder and although don't think it's his best position Pogba is better there or play mata or miki there.

Despite what he's achieved at united like Rooney, but if I deal can be agreed think it would suit both parties for him to leave (reckon Everton would actually be a great move for his and Barkleys career) . Curious on your thoughts.

1.) 07 Nov 2016 19:03:46
Aren't you 1 point clear?

2.) 07 Nov 2016 19:32:46
Super supa😆😆😆.

3.) 07 Nov 2016 21:05:05
Stating that your 8 points clear shows a slight obsession towards someone.

27 Sep 2016 22:16:08
Lfc fan, just curious. Don't think you will (reckon 3rd) but say you were to finish 5th and miss out on CL. Would you keep mourinho?

Has a lot to sort out but has made some massive signings so think that's his minimum tbh this season.

1.) 27 Sep 2016 22:42:30
Yes I would, we can't keep changing managers it just breeds instability, we've got one of the best, if he can't ge us playing or buying into him then must be a bigger issue at the club, mind you, he has 3 years of mess to unravel before getting us to the top. I expect us to finish top 4 tho, I also expect Liverpool too.

2.) 27 Sep 2016 22:51:24
Do our new manager and signings not get 12 months to bed in, like the almighty Klopp himself?

3.) 27 Sep 2016 22:54:32
Depends on a lot of variables. If we were 5th, playing good football and within a few points of the winners is a lot different to 5th 20 points behind the winners, 10 points off 4th with Jose having had a huge melt down.

I don't think finishing 5th on its own should inevitablely mean a manager gets fired.

Same question back at you re: Klopp.

4.) 27 Sep 2016 22:57:43
Yes of course we would. If you ever finish outside of the European places, would you get rid of Klopp? Oh hang on, you did. No difference.

5.) 27 Sep 2016 23:23:24
As MulamNo says it's all about the performances,

1 - Are we playing well as a team?
2 - Does it look like we are heading in the right direction - (is there a plan we are working towards rather than stumbling from game to game)?
3 - Are we entertaining?
4 - Is Jose getting the most from the talent and money he has?

LVG had a lot of luck during his horible reign, so I can accept losing if we are unlucky. Creating 2 chances and expecting to score twice only comes off now and again - it shouldn't be relied upon. I am up for giving any manager time if they are doing the right things and we are progressing. The best team doesn't always win, but the best team should always look like they are the best team.

6.) 27 Sep 2016 23:41:59
Tbh depends, although it seems like we are in similar positions (eg need to get top 4, then push for title contention) but really aren't. Lfc don't have the financial strength MU have and the global backing/ draw to demand success. In the current climate we have to focus on progress without being able to draw in top names whilst trying to improve financial position and the team, so is more about gradual improvement. So if we finished 5th and fought for top 4 then it is an improvement and we have to work on that year by year (eg success 😎) .

United on the other hand don't have to worry about transfer fees and wages (proven by this summers signings resulting in a decrease in players wages to total turnover) and can still acquire the worlds best (pogba and ibrahamivoc for example) . So United have more pressure to quickly regain their place in the elite clubs, but probably have more money then any club to do so.

To shorten; I want Klopp to win the title in the next 4 years by developing a team and players to gradually improve the squad to compete. Where United probably need to get there quicker so can demand more instantaneous results, but have an unbelievable financial advantage over (sorry if I'm wrong) nearly any club in the world.

7.) 27 Sep 2016 23:44:10
Like someone said above it depends on many variables. If Jose is sitting pretty in March then has a meltdown like he did a Chlesea then that is certainly cause for concern. If he loses out due to a few results not going his way then we go around again next season.

8.) 28 Sep 2016 09:48:47
Yes, we need to show the players that we will stand by a manager. Atm they have too much power. We will have to make that stand at some point, probably best do it whem we have a proven manager who has a CV to back up that faith in the manager.
Looking at our squad we aren't performing to the level of talent within the squad. If every player plays to 95% of their potential then we would probably win the league.
We have a lot of quality, we just aren't working hard enough.

The players need to know that the manager is in charge and not them.

02 May 2015 14:56:50
Liverpool fan and will say congrats on top 4. Begrudgingly credit LVG for turning your season around and genuinely don't want to see the players you sign this summer.

But season has been boring in that it was obvious chelsea would win it after 1 month so wondered, do you think you can genuinely challenge chelsea next season and if so what players are needed?

Not bitter (well am) but think chelsea have the best manager in the league and the best team by some distance. Genuinely think only player they would swap another team for is Sanchez. Other then that there isn't a player I think they'd swap another team for (could argue de gea but tbh a hair between him and courtouis so no point changing really).

Mainly ask because think chelsea are miles ahead of everyone, but although I think you need 4-5 top players to compete imagine you have the money to actually buy them.

1.) 02 May 2015 15:26:17
We can write this season off as 'experimental' in a way (I'm been generous)and next season will not be much easier for us IMO.
We will bring in 4 or 5 players and have to integrate them into a system that is confusing to say the least but we are definitely heading in the right direction and apparently looking at the right players, its just going to take time.
Chelsea are ahead of everyone else and next year will maybe be even further ahead, Arsenal are looking good and can only improve, City IMO are going backwards, yourselves appear to have stagnated a little.
Season after next I expect us to be world beaters on par with Barca / Real Madrid / Bayern etc, still work to do.

2.) 02 May 2015 15:34:03
You are right Chelsea particularly first half of the season was the best team by a mile. Not a fan if their style now but it's got the job done.
I believe with a good pre season under us and little disruption we can challenge next season. We do need a centre back and a right back looks like a midfielder with creativity, centre forward and wing forward too. So clyne, Hummels, Gundagon, Depay, Ings and maybe a goalkeeper if we can't keep hold of de Gea. I feel a few will move on too, cleverly, Nani, Hernandez, Falcao but this summer could see the completion of our rebuild and should be challenging again. Gareth Bale could be another to watch incoming.

3.) 02 May 2015 15:48:16
Well is what is interesting is who you can bring in. Much as I'd hate to see it imagine (providing my traps of finances isn't terrible) could bring in bale, hummels, Vidal and Clyne. But tbh even if you did would still fancy chelsea.

As for their style think you can't knock getting results needed. Watched the United chelsea game and as soon as hazard scored knew it was game over. Can knock it all you want but a team that can get results needed is a credit to the manager and the players.

4.) 02 May 2015 16:12:29
Herbie. Why is our system confusing you? It is relatively simple. 4 at the back 3 in the middle and 3 up front!
Having said that, I think we will find it difficult to challenge Chelsea city and arsenal next year unless we have fewer injuries and the new players integrate quickly.

5.) 02 May 2015 16:26:22
Nomidfield
We have tinkered around with the system's the whole season apart from the last few months, next season with new players in we will again use different systems to get the players playing as a unit hence the reason 'Its been confusing' (did you miss the first 7 months?)We have only recently found our feet with the right SYSTEM that suits our players but next season it all starts again. I think that's pretty straight forward to be fair.

6.) 02 May 2015 16:40:39
I think we will struggle to topple Chelsea next year to be honest. Maybe year after but you never know. This summers buys are critical! They have to work. We can't spend another £150m and finish 4th.

Also Chelsea would defo take aguero from City

7.) 02 May 2015 17:02:49
tbh forgot about aguero! Injured that much hardly seen him play. But don't think they'd definitely swap him for Costa. Both have injury problems but Costa has played more over the past two seasons and although would say aguero is the better player Costa suits chelsea more. Not just the goals he scored but puts a shift in and hassles defenders far more thena aguero does.

May annoy fans but personally like costas style of play and think he provides a lot more to chelsea then aguero could!

8.) 02 May 2015 18:27:43
I like Costa as a Ayer but for me Aguero all day. If I was choosing between them it would be an easy choice. Also I'd take Silva over Fabregas or Oscar. Shame I can't think of any United player they would rather in their team :/

9.) 03 May 2015 02:06:28
Roland, it's not over yet, mate.

28 Apr 2014 02:56:41
First off lfc fan, but curious. Check most rumour sites and on the MU page keep seeing names like Reus, Vidal, & Kross being mentioned and are these realistic targets? Not being paranoid or biased but essentially even before this season would have thought any English club par Chelsea and City would struggle to get them and considering dropping out the champions league would think it is less.
Not saying we have a chance of getting them but point is, if any club (par the billionaire backed English clubs) I couldn't see why they would choose an English club. Main points being, if available the best clubs in the world would be interested and they blow any bids we make out the water and could offer all of the things our clubs can't:
Top money, CL football, chance of winning the CL, chance of winning all domestic trophies, playing with the best players under the best managers, good weather (paris/Spain) and great lifestyle (not knocking Manchester, but lacks the appeal of madrid, Monaco, Paris, or Barcelona). Sorry if long winded!

1.) Well, Manchester United is the most supported club worldwide. The global reach and fame that a Manchester United player has is unrivaled in England, and only by barcelona and Madrid worlwide.

With fame comes sponsorship, exposure, huge salaries, history.
If Bayern Munich are to drop out of the champions league for a season, they will be back. The players who are about to join them know it.

In theory, we can afford to pay the salaries that Chelsea and City pay, since our revenue is significantly larger. The debts have affected out transfer dealings in the past, but it is in permanent decline.

The United manager position is still coveted, and we should be able to sign any manager bar those currently signed by rivals, or those who are overly attached to their clubs.

Any player who will sign for us will not be affected by the absence of champions league for a season. It says a lot about us that in our worst ever season, we got knocked out of the champions league semi finals by bayern Munich, and we had the most under performing manager in Europe. The only way is up.

2.) Understand your point and pretty much agree with what you're saying. I'm not sure how many people on this site actually expect United to bring in the likes of Reus, Vidal, or Kroos but I wouldn't hold my breath personally. Like you said there are more appealing places to live and play football, especially if they offer Champion's League. In the end though, money usually talks. So if the price is right United could surely bring in some big-named talent.

3.) Roland,

Other than you having many other things to worry about with your own club at the moment (like a title race) so I am unsure why you are on here in the first place worrying about us, the points you make could be seen as quite valid and more realistic than just being a usual 'bitter' Liverpool fan posting to wind us up.

What I would say is that your post would have sat perfectly on a Manchester City website 5 years ago, but replace the names with Aguero, Toure, Nasri and Silva.

United have as much money to spend as city now (to stay within FFP) and therefore should be able to get some of the top players. I would imagine we will not get the 3 players you mentioned, but the press are linking us with them and as this is a rumour site we are obviously going to discuss the players as you do on your site when the press link your club with players.

Enjoy the title race, as Gerrard said 'Don't f***ing let it SLIP now'! Oops!

4.) Why are you bringing BM into it, prior to 4 years ago not many WC players moved to them, plus they'll never drop out of the top 4 especially in a poor league like the Bundesliga.

The majority of players in this day and age don't care about history or tradition, if Vidal, Kroos, Reus become available every top team in European football will be after them.

Mick you made it to the QF's not the Semi's and the only reason you made it that far is because you had an easy group with Olympiacos in the last 16.

5.) Lost again are we PR?

6.) Living in Manchester wouldn't be too different from Turin, Dortmund or Munich, they are all quite dreary places. However England is a great place to play football and the experience would certainly benefit the likes of Vidal, Reus & Kroos.

Any new signings and a new manager can only succeed compared to this year so it is a great opportunity to have their performances praised far more than normally the case (in the media) and it also enables them to ask for more money because of the absence of CL football for one season. It's a no brainer.

I guarantee any intelligent footballer would see a move to Old Trafford this summer as the best possible opportunity to raise their profile and improve their enjoyment of the game - plus their bank balance.

7.) PR,

We get an 'easy group' because of our seeding because of how well we have performed in the champions league in the last few years, your post is just coming across as a rant.

Anyone would think your team lost yesterday and may win the same amount as us this season. (less if you include the community shield)

8.) GDS2, Far from a rant, am just stating you didn't exactly ease into the QF's you played a championship equivalent side in the last 16, I don't get upset when my team loses, win lose or draw it isn't going to effect me in any personal way, too many people get way to emotionally attached to football, like yourself by the looks of things.

9.) U really are embrassing yourself now Plymouth, but u dnt need me to tell u that mate, most of your own fans have mentioned it to you already lol.

10.) You are so not emotionally involved in football that you could on a website to try we wind up and argue with fans of a team you don't even support. Funny how when you win you are emotionally involved but when you lose you aren't.

I've seen so many Liverpool fans today saying 'oh well we would have took top 4 at the start of the season'. What's happened to Believing and all that nonsense?

11.) GDS2, Show me a post where I've got "emotional", it's callled banter and returning the favor to Disney and Red nobster, CTR I wouldn't say am embarrassing myself, am stating facts.

12.) Plymouth Red, you sir, make me laugh keep it up ;)

13.) There you go with your "facts" again PR. You stick to your job in Napoli and stop wasting your time on our site! Or just go back to Spain!

14.) Well that escalated quickly! Firstly not trying to wind people up or whatever, was a genuine curiosity and seeing as A) I've found the individual banter pages are good place to go to about these questions and B) every time someone ask about united or Chelsea on the LFC page the response is "should ask on the united" or "ask on the Chelsea page" thought this was the best place to ask, as in the page visited by united fans and would best represent the opinion and views of the united fans.
Basic question was in do regards to two things.
First, do English clubs lack the appeal of other clubs? As in 6 years ago English teams were the best teams in the world and now the best players go else where (when was the the last time an English team competed properly against a foreign team?
Eg Barcelona vs united at Wembley or Chelsea beating bayern. Regardless of who won it was clear neither English team was close to the quality of theirs). Secondly, how much will united current dip affect them? I know you have money and deservedly so can afford to buy players within the rules of FFP, but can clubs backed by billionaires simply ignore these restrictions and out buy clubs trying to operate within the rules?

Not taking the piss but quite excited about seeing pogba vs dembele in the midfield! Interesting to see who comes out on top!

As much as I've thought the way United played infuriated me, being honest it is a mix of hype against envy. Can blame either manager for the Liverpool united Derby being a disappointment but Jose did show one thing I would love lfc to show. to block a team out.

United/ Chelsea is more interesting as both in transition but are two immensely talented teams so interesting to see what happens. Tbf interested to see what happens with Jose but bit of a catch 22.has an incredible squad to work with (bailey and de gea could walk into any team and have ibra, pogba, mkhitaryan, Schneiderlin and rashford are quality) but takes time to settle a squad.

Not writing you off but top 4 would be an achievement for Jose and think there is a huge amount at United that needs working on to restore the club to where it was. Don't take this as a swipe, are probably the biggest club in world football with following etc but are far off the top team in world football.

Love me boxing and hate Mayweather. But have to admit one of the best boxers of all time. Unbelievably intelligent and skilled boxer, looks like he is half a second ahead of anyone and knows exactly what is going to happen next.

Reads fighters better then any fighter in history and slowly works out how to beat them, added to that his boxing technique is as close to perfect as it gets.

Imagine he will win via late stoppage but saying that have bet on a first round KO by pac-man! Heart over head all day!
