Looks like we have missed the deadline for varane to be involved tomorrow. disappointed with that! 😔 although he wouldn't have started anyway I'm sure.

{Ed014's Note - not whilst Phil Jones is fit anyway 😉

Phil Jones fit you jest! That’s even crazier then some of Shappys post!

Clearly something wrong that club not letting out with Varane signing, Lakaku came from Amber country he did not need to isolate to sign a contract or have a medical, sure united could have carried out medical anywhere in the world!

Varane must have come from Amber `plus plus plus country! Or perhaps he needs `Ramos to put him in correct position.

I have a feeling its all signed off, just waiting on the official announcement. They are probably teaching him to play ggmu on the piano before they announce it.

He wouldn't have been ready to start and you only sub on a CB if there is an injury. So he was never going to play anyway.

Tim/ eds does he have to be officially announced to be registered? wouldn't have thought so - Sure someone will know.

{Ed002's Note - There is no obligation to make any announcements.}

More bolloxology shappy. Why do you just make stuff up then put it across as a statement of fact. Its getting time consuming putting you straight so much.
When did vidic make his debut? He mafe it coming on as a sub for a player not injured
He was also subbed on in a cup final a month or so later with no injury to the player taken off.
Its common place to sub new signings in for their debut even that includes cb's.
Your inventing facts again.

13 Aug 2021 14:08:28
it was due to image rights why he's still not been announced, .

he signed his contract last night he will be announced by the end of the weekend.

{Ed014's Note - who did he sign for? 😉

Dejavu……. always an excuse, I have never heard such twaddle about never sub a centre back unless injured

Oh it’s Ok he would not have played anyway!

Plus DVB excuse new club, new country, C.V. …… what about Bruno! Was he not to be effected by none of those!

Who can honestly say they have seen anything amazing from DVB that shows there is actually a player in there, even a little cameo …not me.

Ken, Vidic was subbed on for RvN to see out a 2-1 win in a cup semi-final.

You don't typically disrupt your CB partnership mid game unless forced to do so, i. e. injury or sending off. Which is what I am getting at.

Unless Varane was fit and ready to start it would have been highly unlikely he would have made an appearance from the bench. Maybe if we are 3 or 4-0 up with ten minutes to go then he might have come on for the buzz. But certainly not in the game was in the balance.

Shappy ok we go on your terms…. who is to say we were 2-1 up but really under the cosh, would it not be a good idea to bring on Varane to shore up the defence and take of a striker…. Oh but no he not going to be there but according to you that’s fine…. ridiculous you are.


13.) 13 Aug 2021
13 Aug 2021 14:49:03
So your statement that he was never going to come on was bolloxology
When you have no idea.


14.) 13 Aug 2021

Lukaku in the country for 24hrs and signs his contract, Varane in the country for 14 days and is still playing football in his back garden.


15.) 13 Aug 2021
13 Aug 2021 15:16:11
I'm very calm there is obviously a reason for the delay. I'd say there is no drama. But to say he was never going to play or come on as a sub is just nonsense. They're is no way of knowing what will happen.
I think shappy you preached to jred one day to stop digging and told him its OK to say your were wrong and made a mistake. practise what you preach stop digging and as you know its OK to admit you were wrong.
You have to learn that the more you waffle the more you will trip yourself up. Particularly when you waffle about a subject that your not a subject matter expert on.

I agree it will probably go through but there is clearly a problem that’s not being reported and it ain’t Visa or Isolation that’s for sure…….

That’s why Ole got all flustered in press conference saying all Brexit Malarky….


17.) 13 Aug 2021
13 Aug 2021 16:05:31
Ken, I clarified and corrected what I meant which is pretty much an admission that what I said wasn't factually correct.

At best Varane would have had one training session with the club. Defending is about working together as a unit, something that takes time playing and training together. the idea that we would throw a CB into play as a sub after they had only one training session was highly unlikely to ever happen unless the decision was forced by an injury or a sending off.

Could it have happened? Sure, was it likely? Not really.

Either way it makes little difference, Varane will be a United player and will likely play against Southampton next week.


18.) 13 Aug 2021
13 Aug 2021 16:33:42
Lots of what you say Shappy is not factually correct and you take a very long time in saying it too!

13 Aug 2021 16:59:43
So Shappy 10 mins to go tomorrow we are winning 1-0 but really under the cosh, you would send on Bially to see the game out or wish actually you had Varane sitting there?


20.) 13 Aug 2021
13 Aug 2021 17:19:44
Skyliner, I wouldn't bring on a defender if we are under the cosh tomorrow.

I don't agree with it, if a side is piling pressure on you then the last thing you will want to do is take off a player who could offer you an out ball and bring on a player that will invite more pressure on you.

Whenever I've managed a side and we have been under pressure my go to sub is a quick forward who can exploit the space left behind by the team pressuring us.

Instantly the opposition have to drop 10-20 yards deeper, when they do so more space opens up in front of our defence. We are no longer pressured and can play out from the back.

Alternatively the opposition don't drop deep and we hit a pass over the top, the quick sub I've just brought on sprints clear scores and we are 2-0 up.

LOL. What’s that Sunday league! I can 99% say Ole is to negative to put on a striker if united under the cosh he hardly does it when we are in front….

I have 2 pints of what your on.

You guys are hilarious. Jeez, stop taking everything so literally and then trying to proove each other are right or wrong. Just take EVERYTHING posted as an opinion and offer up yours.

Trying to argue right and wrong in a world of opinions is a waste of time.


24.) 13 Aug 2021
13 Aug 2021 17:48:31
LOL. Is that Sunday league Shappy……. time you explained to striker what you wanted him to do game would be over!

And I can 99% guarantee Ole won’t bring on a striker he don’t operate like that he holds and protects, he don’t even put on extra striker if we are winning 5-0.

Skyliner, football is football no matter what level it's played at. The aim of the game is the same, as is what you need to do on the pitch.

A good manager/ coach spends the time on the training ground with his players so they already know what their job is before the game.

All I ever had to say was "play on the shoulder of the last man, and attack the space" literally takes 10 seconds before you send them on😂.

Its not about that ajh. Its simple you have a pop at people constantly because they bore you. how big is your willy?
Shappy continues to make things up states then as fact and then contradicts himself i like to question some of his points and he walks himself into further contradictions.
He then goes on to question the way British press for the way they make stuff up. He would be too far fetched to get a job for the daily sport or national enquirer
I have a low tolerance for waffle and BS just as you do for posts that bore you.
I welcome opinions but statements of fact that are simply made up ill question with so many agrees on all his posts I think its only fair.
He is being laughed at on other teams pages and I'm not surprised. Too much made up waffle is imo a lot worse than the negativity you don't like but feel free to question.

14 Aug 2021 01:47:59
Oh Ken, deary me.

There is a picture of Varane in the gym with Ole watching over him which is exactly what I said, I never said he had trained with the team. For someone calling others out for talking nonsense and making things up you don’t half do the same. I also have a low tolerance for waffle and BS.
