Do we have any interest in Ward-Prowse or Hojbjerg?
01 Aug 2015 23:13:31
More Ibra rumours coming out today. Apparently he has been quoted saying that he could of played his last game for PSG and that he has an important decision to make.
I wouldn't mind him for a year or two.
1.) 01 Aug 2015 23:33:38
Would be a great signing he'l give defenders a nightmare
2.) 02 Aug 2015 00:00:09
I don't see us signing another striker if LVG wants to play 4-3-3.
3.) 02 Aug 2015 06:44:10
Apparently they where fake quotes
4.) 02 Aug 2015 09:27:18
Ibra won't come and sit on the bench. Van Gaal has already said rooney will be our main striker so if we bring a striker in it will be someone that won't expect to play every game
5.) 02 Aug 2015 10:07:47
But lvg also said he needs 2 world class players for every position.
We could loan out a few youngsters if we sign players.
6.) 02 Aug 2015 19:00:51
be a fool nt to want ibra and who cares if it means rooney on the bench more. because the guy is class!
08 Jul 2015 22:34:11
Rumour has it that we are going to test Lyon's resolve and offer £28.5million for Lacazette.
1.) 08 Jul 2015 23:25:35
Jesus that would be awesome and would fit in so well a beast of a striker
2.) 09 Jul 2015 00:05:07
Dream signing for me but all of the Eds have killed any hope l had in that.
3.) 09 Jul 2015 00:11:43
No chance at all, he is going to PSG, if he moves this year- 100% sure and in the press here in Lyon
4.) 09 Jul 2015 09:23:41
I think we'll try to get Benzema - use De Gea to oil the wheels. Ramos will stay at RM, was a smokescreen
5.) 09 Jul 2015 10:35:00
Before i start this is in no way a criticism and I hope the eds don't take offence it's purely a comment about how fast things change in the football world.
All the eds have mentioned in the past how quick things can change, and no I'm not privy to any inside information, however a month ago lacazette was unlikely to move at all. Now all of a sudden it looks as if he may well move, that said although psg may well be favourites for this reason I'm not going to rule out Man Utd we are after all in need of a striker should Hernandez and RVP move on.
6.) 09 Jul 2015 11:28:41
Ed002 on Arsenal named the 3 clubs who are interested in him, PSG, Chelsea and Roma. Let's see falcao get a game if he goes to Chelski
05 Jul 2015 21:36:50
Strootman back in Training with Roma. Any chance we could rekindle our interest?
1.) 05 Jul 2015 22:00:58
I really hope not
2.) 06 Jul 2015 00:25:04
Yes probably.
3.) 06 Jul 2015 02:10:06
RedAndy94, Strootman is a seriously good player. Plus he understands Van Gaals system very well. You have to remember he was the captain and midfield lynchpin at number 6 for the Dutch national team when Van Gaal was manager. However I suspect we will sign Schneiderlin and he will play number 6 instead.
4.) 06 Jul 2015 06:16:26
i always though he be the perfect replacement for carrick hope he can keep his fitness so we can sign him next season
5.) 06 Jul 2015 07:14:44
I hope we stay away from him to serious injuries in quick succession.
Morgan schneiderlin/bastian schweinsteiger either of them for me
6.) 06 Jul 2015 08:24:09
yeah sure heard we are looking for under 21 players. Why would we be interested in this guy in the first place, have you watched him play. Average as sh. t
01 Jul 2015 09:44:30
With the transfer window now in full swing, do you expect any deals or bids happening this week eds?
{Ed004's Note - Hopefully}

When it comes to our next manager I’m surprised Xavi’s name hasn’t been mentioned.
1.) 25 May 2024 07:50:39
Most likely because he was staying at Barcelona until yesterday. Give it time.
2.) 25 May 2024 07:56:06
Now that would upset Liverpool should Xavi come to us. ???.
3.) 25 May 2024 09:04:44
Why would it fizz? Xavi has no connection to Liverpool.
4.) 25 May 2024 09:34:05
Wasn't he touted as the replacement for Klopp when he announced that he was leaving?
{Ed001's Note - that was Xabi Alonso - there is a B in there not a V mate. Xavi was of no interest.}
5.) 25 May 2024 09:42:15
Míchel.
6.) 25 May 2024 09:53:59
Ooops. Cheers Ed. I must pay more attention ?.
7.) 25 May 2024 10:19:06
Fizzy pop way off the mark again. ?? need to pick up the encyclopedia ? comedy gold.
8.) 25 May 2024 10:46:22
This might not be the most popular of takes but all things considered of the names that have been linked I actually think Thomas Frank would probably be the best shout to replace EtH if what seems like the inevitable happens over the next couple of days.
Southgate is a big no, he's been good at international level, but has shown to struggle with club management.
McKenna I wouldn't be upset with if he was hired. I just wonder if he's ready for what would be a huge step up.
Pochettino would be an okay appointment, but I'm not sure he's got that ability to really go the next step. His team's play good football, he creates a good environment and gets on well with his players, he has a history of helping young players develop. Yet his teams seem to lack that killer instinct to get over the line in the key games. I think he'd be fine to start the rebuild, but I think he'd be replaced in order to bring someone in who could push the team from that challenging level to the winning level.
Thomas Frank I think is very underrated still. Given the budget and restrictions he has to work under he gets Brentford playing decent football and getting results. He's shown himself to be very tactically flexible and astute, he knows how and when to change things and he isn't wedded to playing a very particular style of play. While some people might see that as a negative seeing as we want the side to develop a clear playing style. The reality is that someone like Frank wouldn't have an issue playing a style the club wants, whereas a manager like De Zerbi will never alter his playing style for a club. So unless the managers and clubs ideals line up perfectly hiring a manager who has very strict ideas about his style of play will likely lead to tensions between the manager and the club. Frank is also a great commentator and an interesting and engaging personality who can charm the press. Along with EPL experience and a clear knowledge of how to succeed in this league.
That is why for me he is probably the best of the bunch and the least of a gamble.
{Ed025's Note - i dont agree Shappy, have you ever watched Brenford play mate? they are a bunch of thugs and time wasters who,s main aim is to grind teams down, its all about power with no finesse and for me Frank is not a good fit at all, but its all about opinions i suppose..
9.) 25 May 2024 11:29:39
Shappy if Frank has a clear knowledge of the league and how to succeed how come poch has finished ahead of him in every year they have competed.
10.) 25 May 2024 12:47:58
Pochettino has managed teams operating on at least 5 times the budget of Brentford.
If you look at points won divided by money spent then since Brentford have been in the EPL they have best return of any club. Showing that as a manager he has consistently overperformed other managers in being able to get the most out of what they have to work with.
The fact that Frank has managed to compete in the league while practically working on a championship budget highlights just how good a manager he is.
11.) 25 May 2024 13:25:59
The only way of 1 manager outperforming another is by their points tally shappy.
12.) 25 May 2024 13:59:51
Quite liked Frank last season, Brentford were looking good. I guess the Toney thing hasn't helped this season but Wissa and Mbeumo are a great pair IMO. But much like de Zerbi and Brighton the cogs have come off a little this season with Brentford not far off the relegation spots. I like him in interviews and think he'd do ok.
13.) 25 May 2024 14:00:25
Frank is the next Moyes. We need a manager who has at least tried to handle a large dysfunctional club before. Pochettino, Tuchel, McKenna have that experience. Would be very surprising if we didn't choose one of them.
14.) 25 May 2024 16:46:25
So Ken what you're saying is that during the 2020/ 21 season when Ole finished second with United that he was a better manager who outperformed all of:
Klopp, Arteta, Tuchel, Ancelotti, Bielsa, Mourinho, Potter, and Rodgers. Who were all managing EPL teams that got less points than Ole that season.
Good to hear you being consistent and praising Ole.
19 Jun 2021 19:21:34
I don’t expect anyone to agree with me but I would happily take Sergio Ramos for a year.
1.) 19 Jun 2021 19:55:38
Maguire and a washed up Ramos will be a disaster.
2.) 19 Jun 2021 21:09:37
NO, NO AND THRICE NO.
3.) 19 Jun 2021 22:11:59
So do you want scooby mate? ☺ï¸.
4.) 19 Jun 2021 22:21:04
No ta.
Ramos is perfect for PSG or Italian football. Maybe Arsenal.
5.) 19 Jun 2021 22:55:51
Chelsea did a similar thing with thiago silva and it worked well.
Also a bailly ramos partnership would be a sight to behold, could end up with 9 men in some games.
6.) 20 Jun 2021 06:09:50
Could "like a new signing " Phil Jones play in a back 3 then DSG? maybe have them come out on to the pitch in a little clown car.
7.) 20 Jun 2021 09:02:00
Silva hasn't played once since march and doesn't have 1 knee.
Ramos is finished.
8.) 20 Jun 2021 14:26:09
Tbf if we move to back 3 of Ramos Varane and Maguire there won't be much getting passed that.
{Ed025's Note - harry would be the weak link in that 3 mate..
28 May 2019 10:40:38
Looks like Sergio Ramos is on his way out of Real Madrid. Would anyone like him at United? He could do a job for a few seasons I reckon.
1.) 28 May 2019 12:08:43
No thanks can’t stand him.
2.) 28 May 2019 12:09:52
That's all we need another 33 plus player on enormous wages.
Plus the president said he wanted to leave for free because they have a good offer from China
Stay clear he wpuod only be a stop gap for what 1 season.
3.) 28 May 2019 12:27:17
We as fans and more importantly the club need to step away from these type of deals.
As we are not currently challenging my for the top honours or in the CL we need to move away from the £100M plus transfer fees and/ or the huge wages.
We need 5/ 6 players to get us moving in the right direction. These players really need to come from outside of the big clubs in Europe.
Time to be realistic and build something that will last.
4.) 28 May 2019 18:06:50
One of if not the most hateful characters in football. Horrible despicable attitude on the pitch imo.
5.) 28 May 2019 18:51:27
Cut the nonsense and stick to the facts. What a player he is.
6.) 28 May 2019 21:49:13
He only wanted out to go to China. On a free.
23 Aug 2015 14:26:49
Pini Zahavi(Neymar's agent) seen next to DDG during the game on Saturday?
Why is he wearing a MUFC tie? photoshop.
1.) 23 Aug 2015 15:21:45
according to sky sports Wagner Ribeiro is neymar's agent not Pini Zahavi who i read represents mitrovic
30 Jul 2015 22:56:18
I personally think if we are really targeting Lukaku then it would be a great signing. Pace, strength who can bully defenders. Underrated player I think, who would be a fantastic addition for us.
1.) 31 Jul 2015 00:32:33
Your joking,ask ed025 about him who watched him every week
2.) 31 Jul 2015 11:23:34
Cannot control the ball, cannot pass the ball definitely not a United player.
30 Jul 2020 19:20:37
I’m sure he will love sitting on the bench each week.
16 Jul 2020 10:25:55
Where would he fit in? Would he get into the starting 11? Would he be happy on the bench? I mean. he’s not got the height or physical prowess to replace Matic and I definitely can’t see him starting over Bruno or Pogba.
I also think it doesn’t look good going for a player we chased after years ago, just like Kroos.
03 Jan 2020 23:34:00
James does what Rashford or Martial do, which is track back and still has a tank load of desire and energy late in games when he plays a full 90.
12 Apr 2019 18:39:14
Maybe it’s just me that thinks Neves is rather overrated.
12 Apr 2019 18:25:47
Someone with energy, desire and passion to play the game. I expect lots of disagrees but I’d say someone like Doucoure of Watford.
