Yeah, that was a bit strange one. Agreed with Carragher yet again.He was outdebated there, you aren't bringing Ronaldo back to win domestic cups.
Carragher's squeaky voice when he gets excited will never not be funnyMy wife: “Are they… are they speaking English?”
Thing is isn’t he contradicting himself? Didn’t he say before Spurs that we should focus on being hard to beat (or words to that effect). He doesn’t know what he wants.A reactionary pundit if I've ever seen one. He's obviously been wound up by the performance (I get that) and his blood is boiling, so he's going on like a ranting fan. He probably has an account on here.

When I joined in 2005 there were a few rumours that David Beckham was a member on here. Probably a load of old nonsense though.A reactionary pundit if I've ever seen one.

Yes, it was a marketing move more than anything else.Personally I don't think United sat down and thought...how do we win the league? and came to the conclusion to buy Ronaldo.
Ronaldo is at the club because he was on the move to City
I don't know about accounts but I feel a lot more footballers view forums than people think.When I joined in 2005 there were a few rumours that David Beckham was a member on here. Probably a load of old nonsense though.
Yeah, it is.Oh yeah, is it?
He's just there to say something that can be clipped in 30 seconds and go viral. He knows it too.great entertainment, but he's a panto villain
They're never happy. The silly thing is if he likes you, you'll never do wrong. Ole needs more time, Ronaldo should play every minute etc etc.Thing is isn’t he contradicting himself?

Wasn't it Chadwick?When I joined in 2005 there were a few rumours that David Beckham was a member on here. Probably a load of old nonsense though.
You're entitled to your opinionsYeah, it is.
Then what was the point of resigning Ronaldo? It makes no sense do that without the intention of hooking a big one, I'd argue Varane falls into that category to some extent aswell (he's unlikely to last long until his 30's given his injury record).I certainly didn't think with the players we signed, or perhaps, more importantly the players we didn't sign, that we would be league contenders this season. Furthermore no pundits tipped us to win the league, the mantra they all spouted was Ole had to win a cup. Carragher himself said that, so I am not sure why Carragher is so surprised by Keano's comments.I think both of them need to wise up. You can see why management didn't work for Keane and why it wouldn't work for Carragher.
their hand was forced as it looked like he was of to City.There was no plan to sign him at all. We had serious holes in central mid that needed addressed as well as full back.Top 4 and shares prices is all that the glazers need.A good run in the champions league perhaps with this squad is more achievable than competing for the league, if we won that, god forbid with a bit of luck, that would qualify as a success and something to build on.The poor planning of this club is best illustrated by signing ronaldo when Ole's plan was a younger squad then 3 months later hire a coach whose outlook on football is the opposite of our star player. It's a mess, and to think we could have hired a coach during the 2 week international breakThen what was the point of resigning Ronaldo? It makes no sense do that without the intention of hooking a big one, I'd argue Varane falls into that category to some extent aswell (he's unlikely to last long until his 30's given his injury record).
United were never gonna win the league, with or without Ronaldo. And Keane said exactly that at the start of the season. The club may have had the aspiration to do so but that's different from actually doing so.I thought Carragher was spot on in that exchange with him, of course we spent like we did in the summer in order to challenge for the title, especially with Ronaldo at his age.
Keane is using our terrible performances under Ole at the end of his time here as a reason to say we are a million miles off challenging and we bought Ronnie to go for ‘cups.’ I think he’s chatting nonsense there and not sure why he’s chosen that hill to die on when he’s usually critical of the club anyway.
Nail on the head. And Ole then had no idea what to do!Personally I don't think United sat down and thought...how do we win the league? and came to the conclusion to buy Ronaldo.

What's Varane's injury record like? It would appear you think it's quite poor?Then what was the point of resigning Ronaldo? It makes no sense do that without the intention of hooking a big one, I'd argue Varane falls into that category to some extent aswell (he's unlikely to last long until his 30's given his injury record).
Really can't see Keane ever using terms like gegenpressing tbhI hate to say it but Keane is no different than football dinosaurs like Souness, Merson and the like.
Run around alot, get into tackles, leave abit on the opposition player etc, you get more nuance and sense out of a fecking pub.
Bet you adored him when he was playing for us.His hard man act reminds me of the bullies at school. It's quite tiresome now.
I find him a bit cringe to be honest.
He is basically showing the world why he was a great player but a poor manager.I hate to say it but Keane is no different than football dinosaurs like Souness, Merson and the like.
