After Wengers quotes I feel the deal is nearly done.
Alexis is a fantastic player. I remember being on the site years ago when he was still at Udinese and we were all hopefull of getting him then. Football porn was the term thrown around.
Money wise. couldn't give a toss. Like any business, if you head hunt someone from a rival you have to be prepared to pay. Sanchez is well within his rights to get the best deal for him and if United are happy to offer it, wheres the problem?
Yes he's 29. But he's fit as a fiddle. Works his balls off and can unlock any defence in the world.
Was I the only fan looking at the Alexis/ city deal a few months ago brimming with jelousy? I doubt it. I hated the feeling that one of the best players in the world was available and we hadnt been mentioned! If that kind of calibre of player is available we should be going for him. I would have been pissed if we never even made an enquiry. We did and now he's on his way.
Fans need to get over the money side of things. We try to educate ourselves but in reality, we have little understanding of how a club is run. Let alone one the size of united.
So sit back, keep checking your phone and wait for Alexis to be holding our number 7 shirt.
Any other teams fans knocking the deal is just jelous and rightly so.

Spot on :)
2.) 18 Jan 2018 17:02:37
Great post mate. Couldn't have put it better myself. If the club couldn't afford to get Sanchez and pay him, they wouldn't. Simple.
Ask yourselves this, would you rather have Sanchez or not? I know what I pick.
3.) 18 Jan 2018 19:48:44
Totally agree James Mack. Just wish they would get the deal done and dusted. Saw the tweet Lingard put on regarding Sanchez medical . Wonder if he finds it funny losing his place in the team. Pillock.
I'll keep my mobile to hand waiting for the news of Sanchez. Data allowance allowing that is.
4.) 18 Jan 2018 21:24:47
If we can swap Mkhitaryan for Sanchez that is unbelievably good business!
5.) 19 Jan 2018 08:07:36
Top post mate! The money side of things doesn't matter, we will make enough money in Sanchez 7 strips sold to make the transfer fee back. Great to be linked with a top name and to get him especially.
Welcome to the club, Alexis!
6.) 19 Jan 2018 08:54:36
People only care about cash if they have an issue with the player.
Good player Sanchez and could be the cherry on top of what is a very good squad .
Good time to kick on in the second half of the season.
7.) 19 Jan 2018 09:28:36
Rock the red, on current form I don't see Lingard losing his place to Sanchez.
I think we'll see Pogba and Matic in midfield, with Lukaku up top. Then Sanchez, Lingard and one of Martial or Rashford behind Lukaku.
Lingard is probably one of our most in form players right now.
8.) 19 Jan 2018 10:10:42
I posted on the teams page the other day that this could evolve into 2 up top. With lukaku and sanchez up top, a number 10 and then 3 in midfield of pogba, matic and another. Martial and rashfors offer width if we need to change things and both can play top. Or its just a 433.
Sanchez offers a lot tactically. Its a no brainer.
17 Jul 2015 18:19:37
Bbc reporting that unless we get Ramos that De Gea is staying another year.
We might lose ;20 mill but I'm happy that Real can't expect to get their way every time. 20 mill is nothing to a club our size. With the kit deal kicking in and European money, we won't miss it.
Hope we stick to our guns and Ddg has a blinder of a season and he leaves a champion once again. He has not forced the move and there is always that ray of hope he signs an extension to at least get his worth next summer.
1.) 17 Jul 2015 19:10:18
It would be nice if they had the same stance with psg for di Maria either keep him or tell them to pay what we paid for him their desperate for him and we don't want to sell I think we should keep him now we have the players to bring out the best in him we shld not take a loss of 15 million
2.) 17 Jul 2015 19:18:23
This is going to go on till the last day of the transfer window. Utd have a contingency in place if it does, I think it's paying oblak's release clause!! Could one of the eds confirm if they know of a release clause in lloris's contract too, I've been told that it also includes one.
Cheers
3.) 17 Jul 2015 19:43:55
if he doesn't sign a new contract i would sell him and buy a new keeper as soon as
4.) 17 Jul 2015 20:01:55
DDG should just either stay or leave. Make him rot in the bench. Had enough of it already.
5.) 17 Jul 2015 20:25:50
Why should he 'rot' on the bench? He's not asked to leave. He's not refusing to play or publicly slating the club. He's a young Spanish lad that wants to go back home. He's given years of loyal service, has been happy with 60k a week and pretty much single handedly assured us champions league football this season.
What an absurd comment.
6.) 17 Jul 2015 20:28:19
I totally agree de gea is a fantastic gk and I really hope he stays but the last thing we need is for him to leave near theend of the transfer window and we can't get anyone else in
7.) 17 Jul 2015 20:56:57
I love the stance of not selling him, DDG has never said he is unhappy here just that he would like to go to madrid, the fans won't turn on him, he will continue to play well and if he leaves on a free we don't lose anything, we never had the money and his value will have been written off. If he plays like he did the last 2 years and we have a much better side in front of him he could win us the league, I would take a 20 million loss to win the league any day of the week.
8.) 17 Jul 2015 21:01:45
Make him rot on the bench? Great fan!
9.) 17 Jul 2015 21:09:56
I'm sure I'm probably wrong but I saw somewhere we'd only have to sell di Maria for 48 million to break even.
10.) 17 Jul 2015 21:22:41
Does anyone really think we'll be teaching RM a lesson by not selling DDG now! They are happy to wait and will get him for nothing next year. In the meantime his commitment to us may weaken and other players will know he wants out. We should stop posturing and sell him to RM now.
11.) 17 Jul 2015 21:41:28
Guys don't be so naive. If you really thought he hasn't said anything publicly is out of respect, you are kidding yourselves. Due to the complexity of the dealings he realized United was not going to budge, so if he were to stay due to contract agreement he didn't want to make a bad name for himself for the remaining year. I respect him for making us reach 4th. Hands down he played the most part in it. But, he shouldn't hide his inner want and think us for fools to now know it. He should have made his intention clear than have us fans sweat all summer and plead to him. He is not saying anything because that's bad for the deal. He stills expect to leave if possible this summer. That's the real thing here. Don't fool yourselves.
12.) 17 Jul 2015 22:56:17
Think the bloke has handled the whole thing well as the club have.
If he stays for a year and performs how he has been that's fine by me and it will also be nice to have Madrid dance to our tune they are the biggest bully in the playground( with us being perhaps 2nd 😜)
13.) 18 Jul 2015 00:09:40
I'm with Dean 100% dg has handled it all right on the line and very professional and so have the club. No name calling or any 'sterling' behavior just an air of professionalism and class with no fingers being pointed. The club have stood staunch and shown that they won't be bullied and you've got to wonder whether van gaal has brought that to the table, he's definitely a not messing about character who's obviously respected in international football circles. I think he could lead us right into another period of domination.personally I'm proper made up how things are going at the min and I think that's how by far the majority of the club feel.I can't wait to see what happens over the next few weeks
14.) 18 Jul 2015 00:51:50
De Gea is contracted to United for a further 12 months. I think some folk are forgetting he's no obligation to sign a new deal just so we can get a decent fee for him.
I believe he will honour the last year of his contract as he's honoured the rest: professionally.
I read De Gea's family wanted him to return home to Madrid well over a year ago and they are annoyed that Jorge Mendes hasn't been able to extract him earlier, especially as De Gea has turned down several improved wage offers.
De Gea will return home to Madrid at some point. That should either be now for the £25m+ that would be appropriate or next year for nothing. Either way I do think Woodward has played his hand well with Real. One could argue we should be putting young talents on longer than 4/5 year contracts if we expect them to be first teamers. If we had done with DDG the dynamic would be different, I.e, Real would be looking at £40m+ to sign him irrespective of the fact he / his family may still want him to return home.
15.) 18 Jul 2015 08:57:20
RedatHeart - it's ages since I've posted here but I feel I have to respond to you.
DDG wants to go back to Madrid for personal reasons and because he wants to play for Real. He's Spanish. Of course he wants to play for Real if he gets the chance. Why should that upset us? What's your view on Schneiderlin and his lack of loyalty to Southampton? What about Sterling? Hey, he was honest in the way he behaved, right?
It doesn't matter what DDG wants or thinks. He is behaving professionally and treating his existing contract with respect, so we should all respect him for that in return.
16.) 18 Jul 2015 19:18:25
Its 100% certain that DDG will leave this summer.
There is no chance the glazers would throw away 20 million (its what he's worth with a year left on his contract) - they are business men - not fans - never forget that
17.) 18 Jul 2015 23:14:06
Jgb,
It's not 100% certain at all, don't talk rubbish. Would you stake your house on it?

It's time lads. Move on to the next stage of grief. I've done anger. Now on Acceptance.
A lot have been in denial about where and who we are as a club. Those players won't play for another manager. They have carried on from last season when they we acting like prima donnas. A bit of pressure and they crumble. No matter the tactics or personel. They have a mental block when playing and it won't be coached out of them. Ralf was right saying we need at least 10 new players. How some laughed at him that day. Not laughing now tho. Like Keane said, that group of players will throw any manager under the bus.
The club is rotten. The owners have put people into place that have no clue what they are doing. Woody for 9 years, pretending he's running Disneyland. No sporting director yet. Bad managerial appointments, not backing managers when they need certain players and have become a meme in regards to transfer dealings.
The Michael Knighton support shows how desperate people have become. Hoping a fantasist can save us. Have you seen the guy on twitter? Threatening to sue people for questioning him? Ask Carlisle fans their opinion on him. He couldn't even run a div 3 club. If he had the money, he wouldn't be presenting his arse to Jim Ratcliffe.
Facts are, unless someone comes in with a 5/ 6 Bill bid, we are most likely stuck. We have no-one with any backbone to tell the owners how it is. No-one who ia driving the culture throughout the club. The manager can't do it on his own. It slides downhill. The culture is 'come to United for the money and money only'.
I'm not going into finances as that triggers some people. But that billion that people point too, saying they have backed the club? Its worth feck all unless its put towards a coherent and obvious structure. Might as well have chucked it out the window (maybe then the people who live in the Salford area would see some investment in the place, like City have) We have a squad assembled by 5 different managers. And we are further away than ever.
This is us now until things change at the top. 4th-10th place finishes and maybe even worse. Too many players on crazy contracts to get rid off. Too bad of a squad to compete. Owners that care about their dividends and that's it.
Accept it. Is what it is.
1.) 14 Aug 2022 13:06:08
Totally disagree, yes we need players replacing but can you honestly say the new manager as invested wisely, it appears he being backed for his choices, so where is he leading us, the Ajax way will not work here.
The Anthony’s, the DVBs/ Martinez’s are just not good enough to even start a rebuild, then you have the existing Sancho, McGuire Varane, Shaw, Fred McTom none of these are good enough we already know that, but you have to start rebuild somewhere so your first buys are important buys I feel we just added more rubbish to our existing rubbish, no one can honestly say hand on heart that Erikssen, Martinez, posible Rabiot, DeJong, are really what they would have targeted or even guessed at for this season and are any of those the foundation to build from, I certainly don’t think so, I have left out the new left back kid because he is potential, so worth a gamble….
2.) 14 Aug 2022 13:11:33
Agreed. He should strip mcguire of captancy imo. Sad thing is who do you give it to. If ronaldo ends up staying put it on him. He will have the respect off the players and might motivate him to carry this lot in his last season.
3.) 14 Aug 2022 13:32:09
NC, You absolutely cannot give the captaincy to a player who if he stays is staying against his will and has spent the entire summer trying to leave the club.
What sort of example would that set?
You don't make the rat trying to jump ship the Captain.
4.) 14 Aug 2022 13:41:41
Yeah, Nothing changes. of course the problem is the captaincy. Fix that and all will be well.
Such nonsense.
5.) 14 Aug 2022 13:45:23
Perfectly put.
There are plenty with their heads in the sand, believing United to have the clout as they once had while convincing themselves that this £1bn represents intent for anything other than basic commercial operation.
The fact that United have been made to cling on to Pogba, Martial, Lingard, Bailly, Matic and Cavani for so long when good money could have been made shows just how utterly inept Joel Glazer is.
Last summer sorted the wheat from the chaff in terms of how the minds of United fans work.
On one hand, people like me could see that it may well have been the last opportunity for some time to shop anywhere near the elite market and to implement a clear strategy that's supported by the other vital factors - ten Hag and the 'culture' have arrived too late.
On the other hand, there are plenty who were happy to completely overlook the (already long overdue) need for positive direction by celebrating and congratulating the club on bringing back CR7 - a massive, massive mistake made at a delicate time for the club, a decision that proved everyone else right that the Glazers only care about short-term commercial gain.
Frankly, City played United like a fiddle. They have a functional structure full of people who do know their stuff. They knew he'd arrive with a disruptive ego and expect himself to be the absolute main man.
They knew United were, apparently, beginning a cultural transition at the club and also knew that the preliminary stages of such a switch are the most fragile.
They knew that, by expressing interest, it would trigger fans and figures of United to the point where United felt their hand being forced, thus smashing away the delicate foundations of the apparent intent.
That's precisely what happened and now we're seeing just how stupid the club have been.
Now we see the result of this mismanagement in all it's glory - players who cannot be bothered to put in a shift, players not suited to transition but who remain because the powers say so, another coach being thrown under the bus by the players and the club.
This club is toxic and will likely not see CL qualification now for a good while. The only thing that could change that is the youngsters, but who's got games so far?
Almost entirely the same wasters who took the proverbial last season.
So, another question.
What makes people think that, given the two games so far, ten Hag has either the permission or the ability to do the business at United?
I mean, let's be real. He won't have been told that he must play McFred ahead of the likes of Iqbal.
So where is he?
The answer is that, so far, ten Hag has not displayed enough of the, much-mooted, strength of character to be brave. Frankly, it wouldn't make any difference now anyway, the club's a shambles.
It's high time the club had a broom forced through it, but that would need to apply at board level too and we know that certainly wouldn't happen.
Football, eh?
6.) 14 Aug 2022 14:08:06
I don't blame ETH at all.
He was sold a dud. He had no idea the problems in the dressing room and the problems with the amateurs above him.
He has had 2 players. One is a starter and at least he shows a bit of fight. Ita the same players as last year and they ain't upto it. Ppl saying play the youngsters, yeah great. Have senior pros, all pissed off about not playing, whispering crap in their ears.
Conte was the man we needed. Has the balls to stick two fingers up at the board and can putba rocket under players. Yet people on here said "no, he's to controversial. "
Some fans need to open their eyes at what this club has come.
7.) 14 Aug 2022 14:39:55
Cmon guys eth would have known exactly what he is getting into. According to ed002 he changed our entire targets for the transfer window.
What we have bought are his choices, who plays how we are playing is his choice.
He clearly decided on dejong over savic and its turned into a pickle for him.
8.) 14 Aug 2022 14:40:20
Woggle, guessing you hadn't heard of Iqbal until a month ago, and now you want him starting.
Things are bad but seriously, throwing in the kids isn't the answer.
9.) 14 Aug 2022 15:00:38
The players have have downed tools for 3 different managers and 3 different systems. Its not ETH's fault entirely.
And as a club, they should be telling the manager to move on from FDJ just like City an Cucurella. But they wont. Because they are clueless and are hoping ETH çan get us out of the mess as they have no plan as a club. Just another example of ineptitude.
10.) 14 Aug 2022 15:53:37
AJH
No, I'd never heard of him - obviously.
As my opinion differs from your own, it must obviously mean I know nish.
Whatever!
If you think two senior midfielders who were crap last season and have started this one even worse are more deserving than a kid with spirit, work-rate, and more in his locker than both of them, then I'd say you're kidding yourself.
I'm not saying drop everyone for the kids, but application is required to drive a culture change and McFred are just not ever going to be good enough to do the business - that's just my opinion, albeit that of such an obvious fool.
11.) 14 Aug 2022 16:10:46
Banjou i did not say changing the captaincy will suddenly transform us. If you want to make a point to the players that yesterday was not acceptable its a start.
12.) 14 Aug 2022 16:48:33
I've moved straight to just shaking my head and laughing now, James ?.
13.) 14 Aug 2022 17:00:32
Same Nou.
I won't let's these clowns ruin my weekend anymore. They don't give a toss, why should we?
14.) 14 Aug 2022 17:14:30
If we play the kids then we’ll be feeding ‘em to the lions in my opinion. It’s obvious that we are toilet at the back so we need to change things up. Perhaps a back 5? Who knows. We need to adapt to the time that we’re in and if that means parking the bus then so be it. Mr Mourinho anyone?
{Ed014's Note - time for a call to big Sam? ?
10 Dec 2021 09:13:55
Queation for Ed 002.
With Frenkie De Jong apparently available and our obvious need for a midfielder, is he realistically on our radar? i'm guessing he's going to go for about 60 mill. he's on 400k a week but I beleive Nike subsidise 50% of that. So would he take a lower wage for a higher percentage of his image rights?
Only thing worrying me is city have Torres and Sterling who Barcelona seem to fancy. They might make a deal and have a great Fernandinho replacement.
1.) 10 Dec 2021 11:32:16
Very talented player but may not be what we need.
2.) 10 Dec 2021 12:17:43
I asked the Ed what the situation was with De Jong on the European pages.
This is what they had to say:
{Ed002's Note - Frenkie de Jong (CM) Tolisso upgrade for Bayern Munich but Barcelona don't want to sell - although if a significant offer were made their financial situation would mean they would have to consider it. Bayern however may have other ideas. Manchester City may provide a solution but he is not first choice. Discussions about other players from both sides with Chelsea have not seen De Jong mentioned which means Barcelona will not be looking to an early sale and others will leave first. Manchester United has other midfield targets and it is difficult to see how the player could be persuaded to join even if there were interest. }.
3.) 10 Dec 2021 13:36:19
I would love him at OT.
4.) 10 Dec 2021 15:12:05
De Jong and Donny on the bench while McFred still start. That will be something to see!
28 Jul 2021 09:35:36
Happy with the Varane signing. He has all the attributes to compliment Maguire. If they get the partnership right, this could be Daisy and Dolly version 2.0.
I read Shappys post about the cdm (started reading at 8pm, just finished it) and I think he is right about the type of player we need. Before the Varane signing, I would have said we needed a ball winner like Ndidi etc. Now, we need a Carrick. One of the most important jobs of a top class cdm is having the ability to take the ball deep from the defence, on the half turn and start knocking it about from there. Fred and Mctomminay don't have that in their lockers imo. They also need to be able to slip into cb. Maguire and Varane can both run the ball into midfield and the cdm needs to drop and cover.
One of the biggest frustations last season was watching Bruno, Pogba etc dropping deep in attacks to set a rhythm as fred or Mctomminay don't have the passing range to keep things ticking over and change the point of attacks. that's what you want from your cdm in an attacking sense. It frees up the more creative players higher up the pitch.
A player in the mould of a younger Verrati would be brilliant. The only thing that worries me with Saul is that he does like to take a touch or two. You can get your pocket picked very easily in the EPL. I don't think there really is an outstanding candidate but this is now a key position. We need to buy the right player and not just buy for the sake of it. Camavinga looks like he has all the ability to be able to run a midifield in a few years time but he's not the answer now. Whoever we buy, its going to be a fingers crossed situation that they can slip in and nake an impact. Would you put all your eggs in yhe Saul/ Neves basket or do you buy potential in Camavinga and hope we have enough in the squad to cover the work load before he comes of age?
1.) 28 Jul 2021 09:49:29
Declan Rice is yer man.
2.) 28 Jul 2021 10:39:05
James, when you stop and look around at all the top sides how many of them play with a solely defensive midfielder like Ndidi?
If you are a side expected to have the majority of possession and do minimal defending across 90 minutes then what benefit is there in having a key midfield position taken up by a player who only really works well off the ball.
If you are a counter attacking team someone like Ndidi makes perfect sense, but if you want to control the game, dictate the game and have the majority of possession then you need a player like Busquets, Kimmich, Pirlo, Xabi Alonso etc.
someone who is capable of defending but also offers a lot on the ball. I like Declan Rice but I do wonder if he is good enough on the ball for a top side.
I agree Camavinga looks like a top prospect, but I don't think he is ready just yet.
Ruben Neves could be a good option, great on the ball, diligent in his defensive work, ideal age and EPL proven. He might not have the appeal of someone like Saul Niguez but could have a similar or even better impact.
3.) 28 Jul 2021 10:52:21
I have my reservations about varane personally, a lot of people saying he's top 5 in world . I don't see it every time I have watch him without ramos he looked awful. Also I'm not sure if he does compliment maguire their simular types of cb imo.
4.) 28 Jul 2021 11:18:41
Lol dio, Maguire and Varane are similar types?
Had a good laugh reading that.
5.) 28 Jul 2021 11:20:41
Just read an interesting feature on Sky Sports where it basically says Fergie was enroute to France to meet Varane a decade ago as an 18-year-old, whereby Real learned of the impending meeting and asked Zidane to have a word with him too. United turned to their second choice, Phil Jones. Ironic that 10 years later, the two will hopefully be passing again, in opposite directions.
6.) 28 Jul 2021 11:21:33
Shappy, Declan Rice is good on the ball. Ed001 has said, his game is being restricted due to the defensive nature his teams play in.
Ruben Neves is an interesting option considering he has PL experience and good range of passing.
7.) 28 Jul 2021 11:50:39
dio1989 - he (Varane) seemed to cope without Ramos whilst winning the world cup with France.
Although i like Rice i would rather go for Camavinga. I think he's definitely more mobile than Rice who is a very defensive player and he would cost a third of the price. Rice isn't worth 80-100 million, no chance!
I think Camavinga will give you more going forward and we have some fantastic players further up the pith. We need to play on the front foot and get the best out of the likes of Sancho, Bruno, Rashford, Cavani and Pogba (if he stays) .
8.) 28 Jul 2021 12:05:25
Jamesmac8, not sure you can slate Shappy and then write an essay yourself 😂ðŸ“.
9.) 28 Jul 2021 14:13:35
TRD, I don't think Rice is poor on the ball, but his passing range isn't that expansive.
Can he hit accurate long balls like Scholes, Carrick, Pogba, Kroos, Busquets, Kimmich, Pirlo, Xabi Alonso etc?
That's the sort of company a top level deep lying playmaker should be keeping.
Rice is a good passer of the ball, but what he really excels at is winning the ball and progressing the ball via carrying more so than passing.
You saw a few times for England when he was given license to play slightly more freely with Phillips covering. He wasn't playing 40-60 yard passes, but moved closer to the opposition goal and played the same fairly safe 10-20 yard passes and occasionally dribbled the ball forward.
He's better at passing than McFred, but that doesn't mean his passing is at the level we should be aiming for.
03 May 2021 10:03:25
Firstly, I will never condone violence. Its a fact that when you get a crowd together, there will always be a few idiots. But let's not let the minority tarr the majority. The majority of fans were well behaved.
Personally, I'm delighted the game got called off. The owners have to take notice now. Yesterday was about taking back our club. Our game. Souness talking rubish about inciting violence and riots. The same man who planted the flag in the middle of the pitch at Galatasary?
We have all put money into the United machine over the decades. We have followed our team everywhere. Paid through the nose for some tickets or the 3rd home shirt in 3 years etc. They have taken the piss out of fans for so long that the super league was the straw that broke the camels back. They have no respect for the institution of the game and the history of our clubs. We are not franchises. We are clubs. They are nothing without fans paying into their business model. If a consumer is unhappy with the product, you have a right to complain. 2005 and 2011 we had protests. How did they get on? What was the outcome? Nothing.
Protests are supposed to be inconvenient to the people being targeted. They are to make a statement. Anyone saying they should all stay outside and make their voices heard are living in a dream land. what's the point in that? Have you not heard 70,000 people in Old Trafford sing build a bonfire? I have. Numerous times. Guess what? They are still here.
I see the club put out barriers as they knew the protest was coming? Did they hire extra security? Na. More penny pinching. Have you looked around the stadium? Our stadium? There was a time that we had the only 5* club stadium in the country. Now, its a joke. From the rust, to the leaking roof, to the cheap looking fittings and fixtures. I've been to the spurs stadium and it puts ours to shame.
Again, I don't condone the violence. There are idiots in every crowd. But i'm proud of each and every fan that attended and made them listen.
Its our club. Our history. They might be caretakers of the business side but they don't own the fans.
We decide when you play.

OK president trump🤣🤣.

I applaud the protest but not the violence or damage - it deflects from the cause and gives knobheads like souness and lineker bait.
I hope there's not stupid penalties or sanctions on the back of this by governing bodies.

Honestly Funky, wouldn't bother me if they did. If they took us out of top 4 I wouldn't be too upset as I know it would mess with the owners business model and make them feel the pinch.

James - the thing is that alone wouldn't make them feel it too much- they still get their dividends, could re allocate shares etc and could also effect the loan repayments/ finance and therefore make us even more of a laughing stock.
It is nothing new and they sit 3000 mile away from the people who really care.
It shows how much of danger we are in as a club becoming a forgotten hero when we are championed by shearer and carragher: although they are not keen on man utd they realise the efeect it could have on the club, league and football. The premier league and fa still haven't clarified the stance on the esl and constantly refer to sanctions and actions. The media are loading with the esl disaster but in our case it goes way back to the original takeover and the running down of the club and assets by people who don't care.

Lol.
That is all.

Seems like a no brainer after recent revelations.

That money is not one lump sum. They maybe got a 30 mill payment and the rest will come throughout Lukakus contract. So while we agreed an 70odd mill deal, we don't have that to spend. The books need to be balanced and spending money before you have received money is not how it works I'm afraid.

He's signed pre contract for Inter. Possibly going this month if adeal reached. Borthwick-Jackson has been recalled from loan so he might be off very soon.

Bailey pissed Jose off as he wouldn't play when injured. Never heard a thing about him rubbing people the wrong way Wazza.

Don't worry Shaps, I got your back.

Ludicrous to say he should be sacked.
He's made mistakes, sure. Did we think we were getting the finished article with him? I didn't.
Who comes in? Who would want to come to this rubbish show? The club is corrosive and has been for the last 4 managers. rubbish slides downhill. Some of the players are just poisoned. They won't change. But they on stupid wages and can't be shifted. Who do we blame for that?
Some of the decisions he has made in regards to line ups have got me scratching my head. Then I look of the bench and don't see too much better.
This club needs open heart surgery. From the top down. It's needs to rip itself free of the people that have attributed to this toxic nature of the club. that's from the board to the players. Fergie walked in and saw the club was a mess. Full of piss heads and chancers. Whilst we don't have the piss heads, we've definitely got the chancers.
I don't put all the blame at his door. He deserves his share but not all of it. It's the same old story. Like a bloke treating women terribly and then crying he's alone. Since 2013, the football decisions off the field have been handled wrong by the wrong people for over a decade. Expecting an inexperienced manager to wave a wand and fix it in 16 months is pure delusion. It's actually embarrassing to see some of our fans go OTT like they have and yet totally blind themselves to the real problems that have been here for years.

Exactly Brad.
If this was Brandon Williams everyone here would want him gone. It's only because MG has more talent people want to make excuses.
16 Jul 2023 08:58:13
I'm with you Deano.
The difference is there is evidence here. The girls Dad seemed to be on the take the whole time too. His statement about MG after it came out was disgusting. Touch my child like that, you won't have the choice to play football again. Was he on bail when he impregnated her too?
In my eyes, it's an abuse victim going back to her abuser. Tale as old as time. How many blokes did you know down the pub back in the day that was handy with their fists to their Mrs. And you'd all say 'she should leave him. ' They never did.
The only reason the case never went anywhere was because the victim refused to cooperate after the initial allegations. After posting what she posted, that's some U-Turn, especially if MG was on bail and not allowed any contact.
If anyone wants to say 'no charges were brought' then please give me your opinion on the recording and the pictures. Is this something you want to sit down with kids and explain to them? What about the kid itself? The kids going to see Daddy was a total arsehole to mummy and all the blow out from it.
I accept, I could be wrong. They could be a model family now. Then in that case, for the good of themselves, they need to leave the UK. They will be hounded. The abuse he will get will go beyond Beckham levels in 1998. He can still make a living in other countries and will be away from the limelight.
Say if he does come back and play. Do you think he's going to get picked by England again anytime soon? Imagine the circus if a manager considered it. The country would be in uproar again.
As a player. He's worth the hassle. As a human, he's not. One outweighs the other. Sell him and move on. Everyone.

Players like Rashford and Varane etc are all benefiting from a proper midfield. Casemiro offers protection we haven't seen since Carrick in his pomp and that gives the defence room to breathe and not be on the turn all the time.
Erikson gives you a passing ability that can get our attackers the ball in better positions and with better passes. Having a ball pinged at you by Casemiro and Erikson is entirely different then a toe punt towards you from Maguire and McFred.
ETH is the boss. There's no doubt about it. He dealt with the biggest player in the world and sent a message to the rest of the squad. He dropped Martinez yesterday for Shaw because both him and Maguire underperformed against Charlton. He has standards. You don't meet them, you don't play. We've needed that for last 3 seasons.
I think Weghorst will prove to be a shrewd signing. He's got to offer more than Martial as a 9. We can't hit Martial and expect him to hold a ball up and get us up the pitch. Wouldn't surprise me to see Bruno go on a hot streak running in behind him as Weghorst holds it up and spreads it to our wide men.
We have a style. We actually have patterns of play for the first time in years. Our players are being coached. If Sancho has sorted his head out, he can be like a new signing. If not, get rid in summer and reinvest. We need a younger midfielder because even though Casemiro and Erikson still got time at the top, we need to be looking to the future sooner rather than later. If he can get De Jong in and rotate Bruno and Erikson, we will be laughing.

Best boots for me were: Puma Kings, Umbro Specialis, R9 Nike Mecurials and the Daddys were Addidas Predators. Burnt my F50s. Shower of rubbish.
