P*ssed off about this, endless stream of negativity around United lately.
How do you know we won't miss him?He'll be getting paid a fair bit more for doing a similar job, of course he'd move.
That said, it seems we went around the whole 'rebuilding behind the scenes' thing at 80%. Needed Director of Football to make it complete and we had been linked to a few but never went through with it. We don't even know if Dalot was his recommendation - we do have a first team scout in Portugal who has been at the club for two years. Either way we won't miss him and won't know the real reasons for him leaving unless he says.
He didn't help with Dalot! He helped with Daminimum! He barely did feck all!I mean if he helped with Dalot, thanks, I guess...
Lapped up by our own fans like the confirmation bias it's taken as.P*ssed off about this, endless stream of negativity around United lately.
It would be a no brainer if it was a top club in a nice location, but going to Russia after a year at United, hmmmPromotion, few more wonga in the pocket along with experience. Shame but no-brainer for him.
Plenty of Italians have gone there over the years, players and managers/staff. He has no affiliation to United, it's just a job for him. A promotion with experience is really a no brainer. He's moved around plenty of times. Torino for a year, AC Milan for 2 years, Novara Calico for a year leading to his longest spell of 5 years at Juve. That's life.It would be a no brainer if it was a top club in a nice location, but going to Russia after a year at United, hmmm
He’s taking on a much more senior position though. Which will mean, no doubt, he’s being paid a lot more money.It would be a no brainer if it was a top club in a nice location, but going to Russia after a year at United, hmmm
We in the UK and most of Europe, live in a capitalist Western society where we've all never had so much leisure time. Early humans had finding water, food and avoiding predators or invading rival tribes to fill 20 hours a day when they weren't trying to sleep.Why does everything that happens, good or bad, have to be constantly blown out of proportion on the forum these days?
It’s the same crowd trying to latch on to anything negative to support their other rantings. They are never around when the rumours turn out to 99% BS or they will revel in it if it’s true. Never known a bunch like it who take pleasure in it.Some of the reactions on here . You would think Fergie was leaving the club. Ribalta hasn't done shit for this club, he can leave and we will move on.
Also don’t forget it’s bloody hot.We in the UK and most of Europe, live in a capitalist Western society where we've all never had so much leisure time. Early humans had finding water, food and avoiding predators or invading rival tribes to fill 20 hours a day when they weren't trying to sleep.
In the absence of real threats, we latch on to any kind of lesser threat and amplify it to defcon 5.
At least that's my theory as a psychologist.
No one knows for sure. However both Dalot and Mourinho are Portuguese who worked with Porto. Sure Mourinho left long ago but surely he must have kept tabs with his former club especially since he's a legend there. If I am betting man then I'd say that Dalot is more of a Mourinho signing then a Ribalta one.Fair point, Dalot must be Ribalta`s work.
Wich makes this even wierder if he leaves.
I think a lot of it is down to repressed sexual desires.We in the UK and most of Europe, live in a capitalist Western society where we've all never had so much leisure time.

I read that right befor he unzipped he said “would you like some vinegar on that?”I reckon Jose pissed on his chips. Literally in the canteen, got his pork sword out and urinated all over them.
It's as likely to be true as much of the shite posted on here recently
I mean if he helped with Dalot, thanks, I guess...

If the targets are all established players im sure you or me could do a job as chief scout after Ribalta leaves.No one knows for sure. However both Dalot and Mourinho are Portuguese who worked with Porto. Sure Mourinho left long ago but surely he must have kept tabs with his former club especially since he's a legend there. If I am betting man then I'd say that Dalot is more of a Mourinho signing then a Ribalta one.
Now Ribalta signed with us in July 2017 so we can safely say that all signings made in the summer of 2017 weren't his as he needed time to bed in. We signed Sanchez in 2018, Dalot (which I think is Mou's signing), Fred and Grant. We were also heavily linked with Sandro, Bonucci, Toby and Macguire. Considering that Fred, Sandro, Bonucci, Toby and Macguire are known talent, do we really need an elite scout to unearth Grant from the dustbin?

Luckhurst plucking his ideas from the caf again.I have a feeling that the job description wasn't honest.
Some young players from Norway, Embalo, Barella, Pellegrini, Soler, Rafael Leao, Nikola Moro we are linked with. We have already scouted them especially Embalo, Leao, Moro, Soler.No one knows for sure. However both Dalot and Mourinho are Portuguese who worked with Porto.

Luckhurst finds any excuse to put the club down (see: when we arrived late for the West Ham or Spurs game a few years ago and he was demanding us to be fined or some shit). At Zenit he'll be on a higher pay with a role of more importance (Sporting director). Why wouldn't he move?It's just an easy thing to say to get clicks and get us all riled up, isn't it? Typical Journo stuff. Who needs proof when you can get people raging so easily.
I’m sure the club will liquidate now that some guy who was here for a couple of years has left.How do you know we won't miss him?
Thanks how?I mean if he helped with Dalot, thanks, I guess...
Thanks for, Lee Grant then?Thanks how?
He hasn’t even kicked a ball for us. Could be the next Darmian for all we know.
Moyes almost did just thatI’m sure the club will liquidate now that some guy who was here for a couple of years has left.

Yeah, and they’re all on here tossing about names of players no ones ever heard of like *footballing confetti*Big fat who gives a shit, really. Every cnut is a scout nowadays anyway.
Barella, Soler, Moro and Pellegrini are quite decent players. However you can't blame the club for not pursuing such deals considering that we've already signed Fred. I don't know about the rest.Some young players from Norway, Embalo, Barella, Pellegrini, Soler, Rafael Leao, Nikola Moro we are linked with.

St. Petersburg is a nicer city than Manchester btw.It would be a no brainer if it was a top club in a nice location, but going to Russia after a year at United, hmmm
Not to mention all the beautiful women there!St. Petersburg is a nicer city than Manchester btw.
