we need a striker.
and elanga is no where near ready to play every match.
midfield is like no real idea where the spaces and runs are.

i expect too much.

Look at the prices for Darwin Nunez, another who?.jpeg kinda guy. Saving a few million is really hard these days. Pay up or shut up. The only way I can see is being lucky with connections (Haaland and Mbappe) and stature. Otherwise it still makes sense to establish your academy and get your talent in early.

Double post.

But anyone literally can pay that buyout for Haaland. So the only reason City got him is because he and dad were connected to city (lucky them). Imagine his dad is Dirk Kuyt (just as example) and you can easily imagine Him signing for Pool for the same money.

For one I would love to not hate the Glazers anymore but I can’t shake this feeling of distrust. We all see from action and results so they do open the cheque books but is this a well managed club? I won’t even want to claim we are a properly managed one. Why spend the whole summer chasing FDJ?

If I have to speculate the first few games and pre season was used by ETH to show how donkey the existing players are.

This is the first time I see Antony play and if we paid 9 figures for this guy then I think we are just getting 12 Adnan Januzaj’s.

We can’t laugh at City for buying Grealish anymore lol.

That amount of nutmegs either gets you player of the year or patient of the year in City of Manchester hospital.

Standby for antony brings the ball to Antony and makes a cross that Antony fails to connect to. Antony gets the loose ball and crosses low to antony again.

i already proposed this simple, logical and common sense formula a few hundred pages back and there was a dude who say cannot. back then I stupidly said this is because we simply don't actually have the money.

Now I know I am wrong (Sorry, gomenasai), but i'm still stumped with that money flow formula you described above.

It comes back to only 1 simple thing now that I think about it. FDJ has stated he doesn't wanna come. Barca have stated they don't really need to sell. Only MUFC still syok sendiri wanna assume this and that.

let him play at the theater of his dreams la. Why chase a person who stated he doesn't wanna come, its like retaining CR7's body and you can see he got no soul. This needs to be a win-win, want-want relationship.

you heard it here first : Ant-men.

If we get a proper striker and an RB I will really pop the champagne. Right now I’m popping some champignons.

Martial is OUT again, in case you wonder why the sky is blue and father is man, mother is woman. How do we not need another striker is beyond me.

I know, it’s not a great market we are not awash with strikers out there. But think about how we ended up with this situation, we spent 60M GBP on martial back when he was a boy.

Not even another boy is in the radar….damn…. It’s hard to build a team.

Midfielders - I'm going bet 20 bucks Amad, Chong, Garner, possibly Hannibal all four aint gonna make it for MUFC. Remember Gomes, Keane, Perreira

Pogba's 90 pogback story was alive long before it ended because he was already showing his class and ability in brief cameos, and he went straight to the Juve starting 11 more or less.

Nothing to be nostalgic, we will continue to have more misses than hits in this department.

Never would I have thought that in my life as a MUFC fan, I would now be entitled to watch Brazil men's team with more than passing interest. Although you can't make me like Neymar no matter what.

I have only ever watched England with interest when Paul Scholes played, to see how crap Gerrard and co was in comparison.

We need firepower up front.
I thought captain played a good game in midfield.
another captain played brilliantly from the bench too. Was envisioning him hugging and giving high fives to Leicester if they had won.

at least I dare to venture out of the cave these days.

a solid 6/10 performance. Casemiro is an upgrade over ANYONE in his position. He should start. Will keep us ticking immediately after recover possession.

Dave saves also did a favour for us. Their no. 7 look very dangerous.

FDJ “deal” smelled like shite from the moment we passed 2 weeks and he announced he loved Barca and want to keep staying. Never go for a guy who won’t do whatever it takes to come (eg. Di Maria, Ronaldinho, Robinho, Robben, etc)
End.

I won’t mind Maguire in Europa and losing us 3 straight games and then we are done. Not interested in Friday morning matches in the least.

ETH needs as much time as he can with Antony and Casemiro. This is a good opportunity. The Queen is dead, long live the King

really interested to know how the next 5 secs of the clip plays out....ie how they reclaim possession or memang cannot.

Masial really strawberry generation la. Sendiri admit injury prone sendiri admit need many games sendiri admit need long run of games to be fit. At least Bailey had balls to find another team to prove himself. It’s now 8 years and I still wondering where is the real Marsial.

If we had more options I think ETH would’ve frozen him long ago
