No idea, just saying they are likely to be full of hot air 99% of the time, same as SSN or any other scheduled transfer programs as they by definition have time to fill regardless of how much genuine or actual content available to them.
They have to be somewhat reliable to be allowed to post on here, but everything I’ve seen looks like made up shite.

On a side note, I’ve never seen an oppo on here post so much about Utd. You feeling alright?

Lots of "like a new signing" vibes here


"The training, the coaching, getting fitter..."

Is it possible to be over fit? I meant Ole had over a season, and getting fitter is still an objection? There should be a limit to human ability, right? Or we're making super human?

Are we sure we're getting that better training, being better coached, so that we can frog leap other well coached teams that doesn't stop improving their squad?

I’d be shocked if we signed anybody else. If we were looking for a young left back to rival Shaw, we should’ve been in for Jamal Lewis.

It took Liverpool a good 2 seasons to get that fit

Really? How did they get 2 finals before that 2 years mark, then still making top 4. Where are our finals?
Them getting there doesn’t mean they were as fit as they are now as a team. How did we win two trophies in our first season with Jose and get to second place in the next? Was it fitness?

Ole has started with the LANS. Time to get to work and see if he can secure another top 4 finish.

Yes.

Fitness is just excuse by that logic. Now you say team that can compete is not fit. Not even Klopp, Pep complain about their teams fitness back then. Whenever Ole says we're fit, we're fit then.

Edit: Lest drag this out on this thread, let's us see how fit we are, come December, New Year (2 years). We're expecting title challenging vibe then right?

Those are some really scary quotes. Being the best at things that don't cost anything? What does that mean?
He's throwing shade to the teams like Chelsea that are spending loads of money in a financial crisis. I wouldn't read too much into it. I doubt Roman will care much either.

Maybe he's being sarcastic with Woodward and the Glazers. Sounds like it. Ole is so PC, this is probably his equivalent of giving them the finger.

I never feel much point in discussing Chelsea as i'm fairly balanced and honest with myself in how I view things with regard to my own club, I don't do rose-tinted. Plus might sound arrogant but i'm not really interested in opinions of other Chelsea fans as I back my own judgement and know that i'm not missing any detail so nothing to gain from that perspective.

On the other hand, United are a club at a fascinating point in their history so it's a more enjoyable and interesting discussion. One thing i've found here which is interesting, and seeing as this place is still only a small reflection of the United supporter base as a whole but still probably reflects the bigger picture quite accurately, is that no matter the topic there is always massively divided opinion and for however many show anger or frustration towards the club there are equally as many that will blindly back the club/manager/players. What's interesting with that is it made me think of clubs with gigantic fanbases it's possible they can pay less regard to how fans might perceive things as there are always going to be vast amounts on the other side. Just common sense I guess, the more voices the less yours matters kind of thing.

JFC if Liverpool gets Kabak, that’s their team sorted. Weaknesses fixed in the team - CB and CM.

My last transfer post on Liverpool was saying that if they ditched Werner to focus on CM and CB, they would have done excellently.

I still maintain this. Werner would’ve wanted to go straight into the first 11.

They now have Thiago, who provides creativity their midfield does not have. Fabinho and Henderson to do the dirty work, and they’ve not had issues with ball retention before Thiago.

Kabak is one of the top young defenders in world football, and VVD is in his prime.

Jota is decent enough back up for ST and wings positions, and who knows, Klopp might be the manager to push him to the next level. He fits their system.

As much as I hate to admit it, excellent work by Pool.

Unfortunately, we look like complete amateurs when compared to Chelsea and Pool, both in selling and buying players.

Really really hope Barcelona keep Dembele. If he manages to stay fit, he'll be devastating for Livepool. Natural ability on the ball is as good as any wide player in the PL.

I don’t believe these Dembele to Liverpool on loan rumours at all. Why would Barcelona want to send one of their best young prospects (and potential starter) to a direct European rival where he is guaranteed to be a bench player? Surely they can’t be this inane.

If they were that fit we wouldn't get so many injuries and if they were that well coached we might have won one of those trophies last season. The first could have lead to the second. Something is not right with United. He is coming out with these quotes so they will need a good start to the season.

That we won't spend big this summer. Which was my suspicion all along
They are seriously clueless. If this season goes wrong they then have to spend big to just get into the Top 4. Spend now and challenge. If there is no money say it, I would have sympathy then. Instead they big things up, hang big contracts out to average players and then moan because fans are unhappy.

Match going fans could have voiced their opinion over the years but they never did. Now there is no fans in the stadium. Almost a perfect situation for the leeches that own the club.
