Barcelona are like a FM team.

Griezmann out wide.

De Jong as a more attacking central midfielder.

Messi and Suarez centrally.

So unbalanced.

Brozović would be a great buy. Not that we'd be interested or he would want to come but theoretically.

Conte's been there a few months and he has his imprint all over Inter already.

This stupid myth of managers needing lots of time to put their imprint on teams needs to die already.

Ziyech is such a good player.

35m would of been a bargain.

Ajax players always seem to play close to eachother with short distances between them. Can't help but think that Utd when going forward needs to have the front players closer to eachother.
Our players are usually tripping over each other, and nobody running into space or behind the defense

I don't think De Jong is as good as some build him up to be. Certainly not better than a prime Rakitic.

Sanchez and Lukaku potentially winning a big trophy and having a great season whilst we finish 8th would serve as a massive “feck you” to Ole and the club, unfortunately.

It's painful how underrated he is.

Genuinely think he's been one of the best midfielders in the world for years now but gets no recognition because Inter haven't done well. Even when he was great for Croatia and they reached the WC final, it was Modric who ended up getting all the credit.

Because they have a proper structure and their DNA runs through the entire club.
Because they're forced to be innovative in their youth system to find, nurture and develop kids into their first team. Integrate them with experienced heads, who then get sold and their sales go back into the club while the youth players becomes established first team players and the cycle continues. It also really helps to be in a league that traditionally isn't that strong and the crop of talent youth is consistent through a lot of clubs but Ajax are the top dog and preach patience in the system, regardless of manager.

Dunno why some Ajax fans don't rate ten Haag. They have some talent in the side but they're so well coached, I know a lot of that comes from academy level but for the players they have the football is really impressive.

Take him off their hands, Levy.

Conte is also familiar with Italy and the players he has are seasoned pros. They have the requisite quality to begin with and maturity about them. That cannot be said about United.

Have you sobered up now from last night?
