I never understand what this guy is about but... I would be disappointed to have Poch out of nowhere no matter what Ole does. That's not right. If we are building something with a plan, the idea is to check if the plan is working and not try to replace Ole just because the opportunity is here. Whatever really.

Ole is not good enough. Lose two, win one and you guys get on here talking about "plans". Not that we should put much weight into Pilip's (sp) words.

Let's hope it's bogus then because Poch is only going to create problems in my mind. Ole is disrespected to a point that is almost fascinating but whatever...

Really petty of them.

We had that with Dortmund but they spent several years in Europa after the comment about us.
It’s extremely common with the Bundesliga English accounts. I think they’re all outsourced to the same PR team somewhere. They all have very similar sorts of zingers! The Leverkusen account is terrible for it.

I don’t follow any transfer twatters. The reason I take exception to De Brun is because he comes across as an arrogant tosser and he’s the one I see who gets treated as though what he says is gospel, when he’s blatantly as in the dark as anyone else.
It's practically impossible to have a football podcast and not sound like an arrogant tosser. Nobody has managed it yet. Phil is streets ahead, in terms of quality, than most I've heard.

What did our friend the bald twat say exactly?
(Sorry, I can't stand his voice):)
Valuation agreed. United want to offer players in cash + players deal. Joel Perreira was offered but it seems Sporting weren't interested; Gomes could be offered since he's out of contract in the summer. Rojo wanted by Sporting but salary an issue - also an offer from Turkey. Sporting want to retain Bruno for their next game.

Jeez can we just show them what Rojo does. His spanish name translates to "red" for a reason. Then they'll drop the interest and we can press on and sign Brunoooooooooo.

Dortmund missed the CL once in the past 10 years - before Mkhitaryan left. :confused:

Rupp had four starts this season, he didn't get a single minute in their last six games and didn't make the squad in the last two. Hoffenheim let him go for 500k. I sincerely doubt that "they" (as in their Twitter guy) had any intention of pettyness with that tweet. Probably just some guy messing up the translation.

Yeah they deleted it. It was this:

Inter Milan and AS Roma are close to agreeing a swap deal for Matteo Politano and Leonardo Spinazzola. Ashley Young will longer be required by Inter if a deal is agreed #mulive [sky italia]
Does that mean the deal falls through or goes ahead in summer rather than now? I hope the club hasn't cost him a move, would be unfair.

Do you think this squad is honestly better than 5th whilst battling for 4th? We're pretty much where I expected we would be though we've had Martial and Pogba out for lengthy periods plus been hit by injuries to the likes of Bailly and McTominay which have really impacted our depth.

Yes there have been some really frustrating performances and some that simply aren't good enough but you can see the players buy in and you can see we have some direction for the first time in years. Whilst we've had some poor results and performances, we've had some excellent ones and our record against the 'top 6' clubs has been exceptional. If we'd beaten Watford, Newcastle, Bournemouth and Villa for example but lost to City, Liverpool, drawn with Leicester and Spurs we'd be in the same place pretty much and they wouldn't be results you'd generally be up in arms about.

We're bringing through some really talented young players and have given a lot of debuts, not simply throw away minutes at the end of a league Cup game either. We've seen the likes of Rashford and McTominay really kick on, Williams and in particular Greenwood have pushed their way in and been given the chance to do so. Other managers may have persisted with the experience of Mata and Young for example.

Then we've got the likes of Garner and Laird as well as others who you trust will be given opportunities under Ole. We've struggled with our best player missing and a really depleted squad but are pretty much where this squad should be and (in my opinion at least) seem to finally have some sort of plan forward.

I for one and actually pretty enjoying this ride and am prepared to see how it goes at least until this time next year. We've got the makings of a team moving in the right direction and now the recruitment is absolutely key. I've taken a lot of pride in the young lads this season and I don't believe we'd be seeing them get these minutes under most managers out there.

Which manager out there do you genuinely think would have this team significantly better off, given the same circusmtaces this season?

Utd: 50mil & Lingard, final offer!!!!
Sporting: we're happy with the 50mil, no need to include Lingard.
Utd: as we said, FINAL OFFER!
Not funny or original. Surprised you didn't offer to 'taxi him to the airport'.

We really have some absolute muppets for 'fans'.
