Hi, Ed002. I seem to remember a while back you maybe mentioned that Chalobah might be a player we were interested in. With news that Chelsea are looking to sell, is this something that Utd might still be interested in, or have we definitely moved on? Thanks as usual.
{Ed002's Note - Not first or second choice at least.}
1.) 23 Jul 2024 22:31:46
Cheers, Ed002 ?.
2.) 24 Jul 2024 09:27:57
ED001 said he would be an excellent choice.
3.) 24 Jul 2024 14:37:04
I like him, Hatter, that's why I mentioned it. Thought he could be a good option if Everton insist on silly money for Braithwaite.
4.) 24 Jul 2024 21:37:00
NouCamp99,
He wouldn't be expensive either.
5.) 25 Jul 2024 07:18:17
I would happily see Maguire and Lindelof moved on, with De Ligt and Chalobah coming in.
6.) 25 Jul 2024 13:20:24
He'd be an interesting squad option, providing cover at RCB, RB and possibly at CDM occasionally.
However, is that the limit of his ambitions?
Is he happy to be a bit part player, filling gaps here and there for Manchester United, or does he want to stake his claim as a regular starter for a side and really show what he can do?
I suspect he doesn't want to be a bit part player, which he's probably communicated with Chelsea and they've decided to sign other options and let him go.
Personally I think he's good enough to start for a side in the Europa league, an EPL side that will finish between 8th and 4th. But I'm not sure he's shown yet that he is good enough to be a regular starter for a title challenger. Maybe with more regular football he steps up to that level.
Will he get that at United? Probably not.
7.) 25 Jul 2024 15:36:44
Well, Shappy, you did describe United at the moment ?.
8.) 26 Jul 2024 11:22:48
Trololo, yeah, at the moment but not where we are aiming to be.
9.) 26 Jul 2024 12:12:50
Thats not what you wrote Shappy, but okay!
17 Nov 2023 18:08:39
Something that worries me a bit at the moment. Stems from a reply from Ed002 on the other page, where he mentions ETH will be aware he probably won't be here next season.
Hopefully ETH's professionalism will come through, but can't help thinking it doesn't bode well for the rest of the season. If he knows, it's probably fair to say the players do too.
1.) 17 Nov 2023 19:11:42
If it’s correct, sooner the better he is gone for all concerned, I think they will know that too, because 100% they need champs league and atm that’s quite a way away.
2.) 17 Nov 2023 20:56:17
I think a lot of people including players am on ngat others are thinking Thier time may at United be coming to a close.
3.) 17 Nov 2023 21:00:36
Is it quite a way away Rangersred? We are 5 points off fourth place after one of our worst starts to a season in decades.
There are 26 games remaining and we haven't really got out of second gear. I'm not saying we are a top four team based on current form, but let's get some perspective.
In regards to ETH it would be a shame to see him go. He never really had a chance and I don't think there are any out there available I would want to see him replaced with. Especially if the Potter rumours are true.
4.) 17 Nov 2023 21:07:38
4/ 5 points, not quite a way at all! In fact to keep in the pack with our injuries is excellent imo! Don’t listen to the media, our injury record this season is phenomenal and has clearly had a detrimental effect on performances! To still be there or thereabouts is huge positive!
5.) 17 Nov 2023 23:47:06
I agree, Chris. But with the weak mentality in a fair portion of our players, I do worry a little that they'll act to form. No real concerns about ETH. I think his professionalism is there for all to see.
6.) 18 Nov 2023 00:09:09
Alot of players need to go before eth. If he had decent support we wouldn't be 6th we would be up around top.
7.) 18 Nov 2023 09:03:01
Ten hag will be utd manager next season, who on earth would they get if he left? Seems nonsense to sack him, everyone and his dog wants him sacked. With everything that's going on behind the scenes his been extremely professional. Jose and Co would have had a meltdown by now.
8.) 18 Nov 2023 09:12:05
Noucamp
Which page are you reffering to. I wpuld be disappointed and its a mistake imo.
9.) 18 Nov 2023 09:37:51
Discussion page Ahmad.
10.) 18 Nov 2023 10:24:59
Very possibly Nagelsman -short term contract with Germany - was the flavour of the month there a short time ago, according to the media don't miss out on this guy everybody loved him.
11.) 18 Nov 2023 10:29:52
It's something that so many people have been dismissive of but the instability hanging over the club due to the sale process will have 100% effected everyone at the club and their performances both on and off the pitch. It's completely normal.
I was speaking to my ex-manager yesterday from the school I was working at last year. She was saying how since the headteacher handed hi notice in at the start of the school year that it's affecting everyone at the school. How the confusion over the leadership and the direction the school will head when a new headteacher is appointed has everyone nervous and unsure.
It's completely normal that impending change impacts people and their performances at work.
For our club that cloud has been hanging over everyone for a year now.
As for EtH I would be disappointed if the new ownership situation led to his departure. In my opinion he's been our best manager post SAF and has handled everything very well. However, I also appreciate that if he isn't the right man for the new direction the club will be heading in then I'd rather his departure be sooner and on good terms than drawn out and messy.
Hopefully he has the character and mentality to want to do his best regardless of the situation. While it's probable that the new people will want a different manager it's not guaranteed.
If I remember correctly EtH was the manager Rangnick supported and thought was the best option. This was around the same time that he was suggesting Paul Mitchell would be a good person for the club to bring in. With the pair spotted at a few youth games together.
Hopefully that means Paul Mitchell holds EtH in the same high esteem as Rangnick. If he is to be the one to come in as DoF then I would hope he'd give EtH a chance.
However, we also have to respect that the club will be run under a new structure, and that will likely impact the managers position/ role at the club. Most likely taking some powers/ control away from the manager. Reducing their control over some aspects of the club. There is every chance that EtH decides that he isn't happy with that and doesn't want to stay under the new structure. Which is also completely understandable.
So until the new people are in and everyone can sit down and talk everything through then unfortunately everything will be up in the air so to speak.
Everyone just needs to be as professional as they can and do their job to the best of their ability until things become clearer.
Those that cannot do that will most likely be the first out the door. As why would the new management team want to keep people who cannot act professionally.
If you're worried about your job, then you need to show how excellent you are at it, prove that you should keep you place. It's that simple.
Worst case scenario you still lose your job, but at least you've proven to any future employer how professional you are.
12.) 18 Nov 2023 15:22:33
If we now comparing united to a school, at least we got the right headmaster in ETH, seems he good at that part! Sancho is still in detention as we speak and had his lunch time breaks taken away!
Doubt very much now RR holds ETH in high esteem anymore as it was ETH that would not work with him!
Whichever way it goes ETH is gone by the very latest end of the season, if not before which I certainly would not lose any sleep over neither will many of the current squad.
13.) 18 Nov 2023 17:10:50
Quite away. We not exactly falling down the table are we.
14.) 18 Nov 2023 19:04:45
But be realistic, look who we have played and even the ones we beat was scraping by, everytime we come up against half decent sides they beat us without too much trouble, which also means our hardest games are too come which to me is very concerning, but on the plus side will give SJR legitimate reason to get rid of the school teacher no not you Shappy the other one!
15.) 18 Nov 2023 21:05:43
I really really don't get the short term lack of patience with ETH. He has been fighting fires since he arrived and with one hand tied behind his back because of the inadequacy of those in charge of the club.
He has inherited a poor squad. Got rid of dead wood where he could and generally his signings have been good (Anthony is the only one who so far has flopped in my opinion)
He has not had a settled defence and that is the bedrock of any successful team.
Give him time at least another two years if he is backed properly and then judge.
16.) 18 Nov 2023 22:01:13
Rangersred, still not your turn with the family brain cell I see?.

It’s him again Shaps, your stalker back for more.

I know, utterly infatuated with me it seems.

I'm no doubt the last person they think of as they fall asleep and the first person they think about as they wake.
08 Jul 2021 19:34:01
Ed002, I see rumours surfacing about Saul to Liverpool. Can you cheer me up and tell me this is complete nonsense? Cheers.
{Ed002's Note - Saul Niguez (CM) Nobody will pay his release clause but Atletico could look to a very high fee for a player who has a contract that runs for years in order to get his €300k weekly wage off the books. Bayern Munich's first choice to add for midfield and his agent has spoken with several sides as Atletico want to make very significant savings on salaries and could be forced in to a corner by the player and his agent. But Bayern see his cash price at €60M (or €75M on terms) and wages of €300k as too high and will want to negotiate - they will almost certainly turn elsewhere. He is being offered to the usual suspects who have money - Manchester United (who would need to offload Pogba), Juventus, Manchester City, PSG, Chelsea as a Kovacic replacement - many of which are looking to add a player in his position but his wages are a major issue for most. Atletico have signed his replacement. I am not aware of any approach from Liverpool at this time but he would be an excellent choice but a lot more expensive than other options.}
1.) 08 Jul 2021 20:05:20
Hi Ed, do United retain any interest on their side as one of the few sides who could afford it (if Pogba were to go) or is it more from his representation offering him around?
{Ed002's Note - Sure but they are intent on keeping the hostage and no moving forward right now.}
2.) 08 Jul 2021 20:39:54
Club need to look at the options unless Pogba is willing to sign a new contract (unlikely and if he did it would be astronomical) . No player especially someone like Pogba will give 100% in the final year of contract through fear of injury stopping the next big payday.
Bite the bullet, either use him as part exchange for Verane or sell to PSG. Then bring in someone like Saul as a replacement or top quality holding midfielder.
3.) 09 Jul 2021 10:08:10
gotta say, a midfield of Bruno, Saul and Camavinga would be awesome. With donny, Fred, McT and Matic as backup. Replace Matic and Fred over the next 2 windows with Garner and Mejbri and we are set for 5 years.
4.) 09 Jul 2021 03:37:27
Question for Ed002, if you’re around. You mentioned that the club can’t profiteer from a sale of Pogba due to having extended his contract, but how exactly would things work if they swapped him for someone like Varane? Would we still have to declare the ‘value’ of the deal and then negotiate with his agent or would it just go through like any other swap?
{Ed002's Note - All transfers have a value - even if they are exchanges.}
5.) 09 Jul 2021 12:49:45
Isn’t that why Barcelona and jive did the Arthur - pjanic swap at ridiculous prices.
6.) 09 Jul 2021 13:09:08
Ultimately all players have a "asset value" If United extend Pogba's contract only to use that to get a player in exchange then United will have profited to the tune of the value of that player.
So if Varane is valued at 50m then technically United have profited 50m from extending Pogba's contract.
The whole point about profiteering is that by extending Pogba's contract you are denying him and his agent the chance to earn a huge signing on fee.
Thus the club will have to agree to pay a large sum to Pogba and his agent if he is to leave this summer either for cash or as part of a player exchange.
7.) 09 Jul 2021 22:16:03
Cheers for the reply, Ed002.
8.) 12 Jul 2021 19:47:14
Isn't Varane in a similar contract situation to Pogba. In which case a swap would seem reasonable regardless of the nominal price attached. The profiteering aspect would presumably apply either to both sides or to neither.
{Ed002's Note - Real Madrid want cash, not cast offs.}

Rubbish performance aside, I'm still trying to work out how Mbuemo wasn't denied a goalscoring opportunity.
1.) 28 Sep 2025 09:56:06
He was, Howard Webb will be on ref watch apologising and saying the refs are learning and must do better, just you wait. It’s a red card for every single person watching, even Collins knew, apart from the clowns making the decisions.
2.) 28 Sep 2025 11:07:53
The decision only made worse why the fact that chalobah was sent off for Chelsea for doing the same thing only an hour later.
3.) 28 Sep 2025 12:51:03
Yup. Awful decision from all involved. We were once again nowhere near good enough, but had they gone down to ten men I’m fairly sure we’d have beaten them. I don’t think Bruno misses the penalty if he’s not made to wait five minutes either.
Obviously bad decisions go against you sometimes, but they seem to be going against us a lot more often than they’ve been going for us so far this season.
4.) 28 Sep 2025 12:56:00
Standard of VAR is a complete joke. need ex pros in there with them. Definitely a red for collins. The Chelsea v Brighton game and gusto almost kicks the Brighton players head out the stadium and not deemed a foul or dangerous play ?.
27 Aug 2025 23:02:48
Pretty damning interview from Amorim there, regarding the players who were out there tonight.
1.) 27 Aug 2025 23:12:05
Could be a cryptic resignation? Sarcasm was the tone for sure.
Sigh. Even harder times are coming.
2.) 27 Aug 2025 23:22:24
It was nou, I felt Amad was terrible tonight. I was disappointed with his whole demeanor. Ugarte has started the season like he has never played in the team before and Onana is like Onana. I hope Aomorim can turn it around but he has not got this team going at all.
3.) 27 Aug 2025 23:40:56
Needs to look at himself too. not too bothered now if they sacked him tomorrow he is out of his depth in pl. just a matter of time now.
4.) 27 Aug 2025 23:48:21
Agreed.
How bad can this get, I never saw this coming at all.
I think he'll struggle to come back from this. I like him but can't really defend what we saw tonight.
He can't change his system now, so we're stuck with a system that clearly doesn't work for us. We are in trouble.
5.) 27 Aug 2025 23:57:42
Close to his strongest 11 too. I wonder if he will resign soon. I don’t think the board will sack him unless we are around relegation at Xmas. I do wonder if he’s lost the dressing room by his words. Give it Giggsy ?.
6.) 28 Aug 2025 00:23:42
Any decent manager who favours 4-3-3 could come in and get a tune out of this squad. Maybe Russell Martin will be available by the next game?
7.) 28 Aug 2025 07:07:59
28 points out of 29 games and knocked out by Grimsby. Amorim is absolutely not blameless in all of this.
Very much seems to have lots of things to say but very little action.
8.) 28 Aug 2025 08:04:50
At least Herr Troll will be happy. He will consider this makes him relevant.
9.) 28 Aug 2025 10:01:20
Get big Ange in. lol.
10.) 28 Aug 2025 10:13:42
The whole team were awful tonight, they didn't look up to it and there was a distinct lack of leadership on the pitch.
Amad proved that he does currently suit playing wingback over the No.10 position. Which backs up the fact that his best performances last season came from RWB and not in the No.10.
Ugarte highlighted why we are so desperate for a new defensive midfielder.
Mainoo wasn't any better than Bruno in the No.8 position. This was his chance to put down a marker and make a claim to play more, he didn't seize the chance.
Sesko showed why Amorim has been easing him into the first team and not just throwing him in.
Maguire didn't do the best of jobs guiding the young CB's either side of him through the game. He was probably the best leader we had on the pitch, and he showed that he just isn't a top level leader. He needs to focus on his own game far too much to play well to be able to help lead and guide other players.
11.) 28 Aug 2025 11:04:30
Manchester United really should not need a new formation to beat Grimsby. There was a lack of heart and ability from about 70% of the squad. We have nowhere near got rid of all the rot yet. Most said it would be two to three windows and it is. I still think we will have a better season than last but expectation needs to be tempered we only avoided relegation last season due to the teams coming up being record cr@p.
Bruno is looking a bigger issue every game. The task at hand is huge but lack of effort is unforgivable.
25 Aug 2025 22:49:58
Just watched the second half of the game tonight.
Tell you what, if I'd been lucky enough to be a professional footballer, other than Utd, I'd have fecking loved to play for Newcastle.
Work your rear end off, and show commitment, and you have a whole city worshiping you.
What an atmosphere they create up there.
1.) 26 Aug 2025 10:12:51
I spent a year living in Newcastle and went to a few games at St. James, they have absolutely amazing support and the Geordies really do a great job of creating an atmosphere and supporting their players.
I agree they must be a really good club to play for, just a shame about their limited success on the pitch.
08 May 2025 09:33:13
Any recommendations for good bars in the city centre, folks?
1.) 08 May 2025 12:57:26

Some great posts and threads on here lately.

Did RA not say he would just that, Eric? Or words to that effect at least.
08 Aug 2025 01:11:39
Bollocks, German. Yoro walks into any team. Best defender I've seen since Rio.
16 Jul 2025 16:06:38
Guys, I'm not arguing he should still be here. My point is, rather worryingly, he is still the best we have in that position. I fully expect him to be our regular LWB.
Providing he doesn't get injured during pre-season of course ?.
15 Jul 2025 22:16:14
He's still our best LWB when fit, imo. Unpopular opinion, I know.
{Ed025's Note - has he ever been fit Noucamp?..
19 Jun 2025 21:37:30
He's a hateful so and so, but a much better keeper than Onana.
16 Oct 2025 08:29:14
Did RA not have a worse record than Neville at Valencia, or did I read that wrong?
16 Oct 2025 04:46:24
I'm always a glass half full guy, so I'll go for just the 3-0 defeat.
11 Oct 2025 01:40:09
Michael O'Neill deserves a lot of credit. Whilst still making the best use of set pieces against the bigger teams (which let's face it, is most of them) we actually try to play decent football as well, even if it doesn't always come off.
Glad to see young Trai get the winner, but even if it pains me to say it, Bradley is a super wee player.
Few Guinness tonight ?.
08 Oct 2025 17:39:46
Aye, probably ?.
