Thread: Manchester Utd

Got to love this, they forget to mention Utd will have to offload 15 first team has-beens and they have no chance of buying some of their "Dream" signings.

Some of this is already common knowledge, but it's a worthwhile read anyway.

By the way, the two players fighting in training the other week were Mjebri and Telles.

To quote the article:

the suspicion was United were tossing off

Many fans have known this for years.

I was gonna say that things can only get better, but with the Glazers in charge, that is most definitely not a sure thing.

You'd think now that Woodward has gone, the days of giving the likes of Jones 12 year contract extensions are a thing of the past though.

You missed a word out.

’You’d like to think that…’

You know the problem was never really Woodward.

Hopefully the club will create a new staff position and employ Keano as dressing room kommandant.


And to think, usually the summer entails adding 3 players to strengthen what you have.

Keano the enforcer? I've heard he quivers at the mere mention of Nammers' name.

An angry 70 year old 5'4 delivery driver.




Who wouldn't.

The Wealdstone Raider!!!

BBC News issues apology to Manchester United fans after 'rubbish' blunder - Manchester Evening News

Priceless

^ its factual so i am not really sure why that apologised.

That's 2 of the useless foks gone, Pog-Linz.


10 more to go.


Now just need to start bringing in a quality defensive midfielder, ball winning center back, 2 full backs, a striker and a left inside forward.

Right sided, surely?

I'd have thought Sancho or Rashford would be on the left. Understandable if you've forgotten him.

That would leave Greenwood in the 'left inside' position.

Exactly.


Was thinking of Sancho/Elanga on the right. Which of course isn't beyond improving by a recruiting system that actually knows what it's doing.



With the number 6 gone, numbers 8 and 9 going, numbers 3 and 4 shirley not being kept, and the number 11 going off to the clinky, that's more than half the numbers 2-11 available.


Would imaging McTommy will get the #8.

Looks like DDG agreeing to a pay cut down to only 250k p/w on a new 5 yr contract.

The centre back Timber (puns ahoy!) from Ajax looks the most likely imminent arrival.

Talks have also started with Frenkie de Jong from Barca, but he's not overly impressed by the thought of Thursday nights away at Universitatea Craiova, for some reason.

Merch looking at Eriksen, just to ensure their average age doesn't drop once they release the 15 pensioners they have on their books, at least Ewiksen will put in a shift, lets hope he can see a season through.

He definitely wasn't putting in a shift in his last season at Spurs.

The next Juan Mata.

They can't even attract 2nd raters
