wickla!
Win tonight and announce it after the game . Something like "think we were good tonight wait till you see us nextweek" . Hope this happens he would be brilliant to have in the team

He shouldn't have sucked. We really, really needed him to be the star playmaker.
Yeah, he has basically played himself out of the club.

The frustrating thing with Mkhi is that he has the ability, but it hasn't come together for him at United. I do think he is mentally fragile or have poor concentration.

Totally agree.

Such a bizarre and unbalanced comparison.

People are saying that Neville said his piece tonight well, but I would totally disagree.
Neville looked a complete numpty by playing along with those numbers. There's not even any evidence the wages are that high except rumours that go anywhere between £250k and £400k a week. He then bumped up the Lukaku and Pogba prices to try and make his bizarre maths seem like a bargain. It was such an absurd discussion.

We're close...
I´d say it´s tactical, when you let the player know in a not so subtle way that he should please f*** off. :lol:

Mkhitaryan is clearly a player that needs to have a close personal relationship with the manager. The first thing Tuchel did, when he got the Dortmund job, was to meet with Mkhitaryan and outline his plans for him. Tell him that he´s his guy...and Tuchel didn´t stop licking that a** till Raiola pulled his head out to drag that a** to Manchester. Mkhitaryan was average for Klopp and Mourinho.

Love updates that say it's not done yet. Obviously it's not done, otherwise it'd be announced by United.

I’m embarrassed with how we’ll look if this deal goes through. Throwing money on the table to lure a player here who would rather be elsewhere? We’re just becoming another mercenary club with no soul whatsoever.

Edit: ok, obviously too subtle for some. L

I would be very happy if this went through. The situation for the rest of the season would be looking much, much rosier than I'd feared.

Like others have said, he's probably more a Wenger player than a Mourinho one (though I might phrase it slightly differently to some of you :D). More of a Wenger player than Alexis has been recently, too.

Yeah Pogba all of a sudden was £95m and Lukaku £80m. How can you prepare all day for a show and then get the basics so wrong. He didn't even touch on the 'Pep v Money' thing either which was disappointing.

The funny thing is Miki will go to Arsenal and then 'explode'. The all you will start to hear is how Jose can't handle creative players. People will completely forget what really happened during his time at United. I always laugh at the KDB, Lukaku, Salah narratives.

Pogba was £95m kind of. It was initial fee of £89m and £5m in bonuses

Like Berbatov?

Like loads of other players United have signed with other teams in the mix for?

Edit: the feck is splunge

So basically there is no upside to signing Alexis fecking Sanchez.
Well i think at a football forum the fact that Alex is a great player goes without saying. But i've said it nonetheless calling him "one of the best currently in the league".
That's an obvious upside. But there was upside when we signed Di Maria and we all remember how that went down.

Any more splunge and you'd be a sponge.
