Re: Jadon Sancho - Welcome.

He's been dogshit. A complete waste of money. And we do it time and time again. I can't for the life of me, figure out why Arnold (or before him Woodward) hasn't gone out to hire the best, proven recruitment specialists in world football. It seems blindingly obvious. And unless there's a complete g...

Re: Jadon Sancho - Welcome.

The Sancho thing typifies the life of a promising footballer at a big club. They arrive with huge expectations but ultimately aren't equipped to deal with the pressures. It takes a unique mindset to succeed at a club like United and unfortunately I don't think Sancho has it. We've had some proper be...

Re: V Arsenal

I thought we lookd ok defensively until Martinez and Hoof came off. Antony and Rashford also looked good, offering as much as they could to the fullbacks and also trying to get forward. We're fucked in the middle of the park though, Casemiro still doesn't look like he's back from summer hols and Eri...

Re: Assessing our squad

I reckon that's why Hugull wasn't allowed to leave on loan. Hojlund looked lively and played with more purpose than Martial.

Re: Unrealistic summer transfer wankfest III

Amrabat confirmed, €10m loan fee + €20m if we want to sign him at the end of the loan period. Which is pretty much what we would have paid for him if we had signed him permanently this season. IMO, this is good business, an upgrade on Fred and VdB and for not a lot of money. The scousers have signed...

Re: Other Teams' Stuff

Meanwhile we often have to pay a £50m 'United Tax' before we even start.

Re: Unrealistic summer transfer wankfest III

Looked quite promising to start with tbf, even though some would question Mount over Caicedo etc but at least the club were backing the Manager. Now it's on ETH to prove that his choices are the right ones for whatever system he is planning. But puzzling tranfers like selling Kovak and Hendo and let...

Re: Unrealistic summer transfer wankfest III

Teden Mengi off to Luton Town on a perm deal, not sure for how much though. He was one that people thought had a big future at United but I guess we have too many CB's already.

Re: Unrealistic summer transfer wankfest III

Looks like we're panicking again It's actually unbelievable how inept we are at transfers etc. We've had Amrabat dangling on a move for weeks but now we are looking at Hojbjerg who I imagine will cost more and isn't as good. Forest are about to sign Ndidi, who I thought was quite decent and would b...
