By the way, in case you lot are wondering why this one is linked here, Kay is the guy that Matt Busby said influenced his managerial career more than any other.

Interesting comments from the king today, despite having no managerial experience I think he'd be great at the helm of your great club one day. Very inspiring and motivational man.

Ermm not for me, would be a huge mistake and disaster.

{Ed025's Note - nor me GDS, excellent player but a scumbag of a person with the morals of a gutter rat..

It would be interesting, tho. You have to admit 😁.

{Ed025's Note - very much so noucamp, but if it went tits up (and i think it would) then united would be back to square one mate..

I assume we are talking about Cantona? Ed's comments sound more like he is referring to Giggs?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - thats my bad betty i was talking about giggs, sorry mate i seem to have been confused over that thread mate..

10 Sep 2018 08:01:48
Ed, I'm not doubting you, but could you just let us know maybe the top three things he's done to warrant that description? I only know of the kicking of the Palace fan, which was a response to some vile language about his sister/ mother. What worse things has he done?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - i was answering a different thread RWWD abut giggs, totally my fault and i apologise profusely, i like cantona and he never hit that palace fan hard enough for me mate..

10 Sep 2018 19:02:23
No probs Ed - honestly wasn't trying to be awkward. Giggs and Cantona both made comments at the weekend, but I thought your comments sounded like they suited Giggs a little better!
I wasn't totally sure myself who the OP was about, that's the only reason I asked.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - yeah betty the giggs one was the one i thought i was replying to mate..

11 Sep 2018 07:17:34
Haha, I see what happened Ed! Thank the wee man, Cantona is my childhood hero. Glad you didn’t have any revelations about his personal life!

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed025's Note - i like eric and even though hes a bit of a flawed genius he seems to be a top bloke mate..

Does the signing of alexis sanchez go down as the one of the worst signings since fergie retired?

Its put the noses out of joint of two of our most exciting players, martial and rashford.

Also all of these rumours of pogba (our best player up to that point last season) being unhappy seem to have stemmed from after the january transfer window when sanchez arrived and became our highest paid player.

Also i am sure his signing ate into the budget allocated to signing another forward, a right winger, which made jose mourinho furious with our summer transfer window.

Nothing against sanchez personally, it could have been any player signed to be our third first choice left winger, but martial, rashford, pogba and mourinho seemed much more content before he joined and i don't think its a coincidence.

{Ed002's Note - The problem the club faced in January was an FFP issue related to wages.}

Or maybe Pogba just doesn't want to be at Utd. We were never his preferred choice. You can't blame Alexis for Pogba trying to flick a simple 5 yard pass and loosing the ball. Martial struts around like he owns the place. The only player i feel sorry for and most affected by Alexis arrival is Rashford because he always puts a shift in, whether or not he is good enough is another matter.
I wouldn't be half arsed if Pogba leaves, if he is benched for the entire season or if he plays for the U18s. He obviously isn't very keen on playing to his best for us.

Sanchez is a top quality player, we don’t play very expansive usually so his qualities are stunted somewhat in this style. If we played more attacking his qualities would show more and more. I don’t get the he’s taking a place of Rashford or Martial argument at all, neither of those two gentlemen have taken their opportunities when they’ve been given them, you could argue our style also does not quite suit Rashford or Martial.
My opinion on Pogba is well known, he is overhyped and not that good, I honestly think regardless of system we won’t see this supposed world class player come out. I think myself and a few others have said that Herrera, McTominay give more in this shirt than Pogba ever has and I’d rather see Ander in the lineup ahead of him. Sure he’s a big name but it’s a team game, not all about big names.

I think the signing of Sanchez was popular when it was made he had shown in his time at arsenal he could be a game changer and hopefully he would be a special player for us maybe similar for us as kdb at city or hazard at Chelsea
I can't blame Jose for just how bad his first 6 month have been, there's new tactics and new team mates but in many games that duznt explain being unable to make the simplest of passes.
Lots of people cast their minds back to the first half of the season where rash and martial alternated the left side attacking role and between them were matching goal numbers from the likes of sane and mane in the same position from our rivals . The right hand side just didn't compare tho with others like Salah and Stirling .
The goals then dried up from the left when Sanchez arrived and he played so infield he occupied our left central midfielder pogbas space .
If we were already productive from the left and so far behind on the right and given the fact Sanchez plays so infield anyway then a switch to the right makes sense to me while we wait for him to find form . I'd be surprised if our numbers from the left didn't increase and what's to lose we don't get much from the right anyway .

Our football or tactics have little to do with why sanchez is so bad, sanchez has played nearly 20 or so games for utd now, how many times has he beaten a man while dribbling or even out ran a fb when chasing a ball? we have bought the arsenal version of wayne rooney. He runs around a lot, doesn't have the greatest first touch and has lost the burst of pace that made him the player he was. Only difference is we paid the orignal one 300k, we pay this one 500k. With the added bonus of stunting the growth of our 2 young forwards and helping destablize our 100mn mf.

Rash is a striker so RedRom is in his way, rash hasn’t done in enough to displace him, Martial has an attitude problem that’s why he’s not a player to play ahead of a commuted player, it’s just a myth this stunted growth nonsense, as for pogba, you can’t blame Sanchez for destabilising him, he’s a supposed world class player, fact is Pogba isn’t that good.

I had not read this little snippet anywhere else before now re Pogba - Daniel Taylor writes a piece in yesterdays guardian asking if Pogba will always have a wanderlust and to keep moving on.

He writes 2 years after leaving Utd although winning trophies at Juve he made it known he would consider moving back to UTD (65 MILL) Moyes was interested but had doubts why having played at 2 of the worlds biggest clubs he couldn't settle. and so didn't pursue it.

How true any of it who knows.

Yes apparently moyes was worried about his lack of loyalty as he has been at so many clubs but if you think about it he's only been at la havre, manchester united and juventus.

He is hardly jumping from club to club every season.
