Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season

Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have absolutely mugged Manchester United in the transfer market. Madrid convinced Manchester United to pay them £100 million for 2 great, but ageing and broken down warriors in Varane and Casemiro. Meanwhile United sold prime Ronaldo, Beckham, and Van Nistelrooy to Madr...

Re: What Club Should Osimhen Sign For & Why?

There is no such thing as "NHS tax" (I can tell you do not live in England). The cost of living is high in London . £1 million (which is chicken change to an elite professional footballer) would buy a 6 bedroom detached house in the Manchester suburbs. That would not even buy a 1 bedroom f...

Re: What Club Should Osimhen Sign For & Why?

The top rate of tax in England is 45%. Even then it does not apply to a person’s entire income (only to income over £125K). He can still win Afcon and go to the world cup. Mane is in the Saudi league. And he has already won the Seria A. Time to cash in . Also UK is expensive with about 50 percent ta...

Every single first choice center back at the club is injured: Varane Martinez Lindelof Maguire Kambwalla Evans (just returned to training yesterday after injury) PLUS the also injured: Malacia (entire season) Shaw Rashford Brun...

Re: Harry Kane " the best Number 9 this season"

My goodness, ETH’s man management is shocking sometimes. This is basically telling Hojlund “we did not actually want you, and signed you only because we could not get the player we wanted and who we think is better than you”.

Re: Olise! Olise!! Olise!!!

Sources claiming that Manchester United are leading the race to sign him. I think Eze would be a better signing.

Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season

Both Kim and Onana are bad signings. Both of us are right. ...just because of one match? There is a reason he was hired and sign to a big club like Bayern, he must be very good in the past, one momentary mistake don't define a player. After all your club signed Onana who has made numerous errors eve...

Re: Onana is the Cameroon version of the old Uzoho of March 2022

In a league where if my team got promoted every season, it would still take us about 10 years to reach the Premier League. Yet still, at my level GKs would get instantly dropped from the team if they committed Onana’s clangers. Amazed that Manchester United entrusted a key position to him. Where do ...

Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season

I criticised Man Utd for not signing Kim Minjae, but after seeing his “performance” against Real Madrid yesterday, I am relaxed about not signing him. He is not exactly lightning ⚡️ fast 💨, and his decision making is a WIP. https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Freel%2FC6Zs...

Re: Onana is the Cameroon version of the old Uzoho of March 2022

If "Onana has the potential to be the best in the world", then there is the potential for me to win the Ballon D'or. Onana is a liability and too reckless to be trusted to be the first choice GK for a team with Champions League ambitions. He is the worst first choice GK Manchester United h...

Re: Manchester United - News, Developments & Season

Onana is an utter liability. He did this punch an opposing player in the head routine against Wolves last season and got away with it. He was rightly penalised against Burnley and gave away yet another late penalty (the 5th game in the last 7 games where United has conceded a goal or penalty in the ...

Re: This boy is good oo( Ndah)

I agree with you re the marketing deficit in the NPFL. Then again, is there an incentive for government owned clubs which get their budget directly from the government, to invest heavily in marketing? A privately owned club has that incentive as it has to attract fans and generate revenue to stay af...

Re: "Mikel is stubborn. I cannot tolerate people like that" - Samson Siasia

Your analysis assumes that the players are always right (which they rarely are). If you give power to the players, they will do what is best for themselves, not what is best for the team. If you let players call the shots, they will keep picking themselves in the first 11 until they turn 55. They wo...

Re: "Mikel is stubborn. I cannot tolerate people like that" - Samson Siasia

What is the point of having a manager then if “players should have the power”? Why not let a bunch of teenagers and young 20 somethings manage themselves, train when they want, and pick the formation and tactics. Presumably, Foden and de Bruyne would have still become the players they are today with...
