Thinks the caf is 'wokeish'.
Think he is implying that they both look the same...Can you fill me in?

After all the walking away, it was about timeWe're signing Craig David.
It was a play on one of Craig Davids song titles.Think he is implying that they both look the same...
Taught them how to shoot on Monday, then how to pass on Tuesday, we were doing drills by Wednesday and on Thursday and Friday and Saturday but we still lost on Sunday.Can you fill me in?
Pe-nal-ty... when the crowd say Bruno, Ronaldo!After all the walking away, it was about time
By what measure are Huddlestone or Sidwell underachievers? Lomas too I’d say, they made good careers out of being pretty bang average playersWhy are we signing random underachieving players to coach our players again? What is happening? Tom Huddlestone? Why do we need him to play for the u21’s? What?
Why not Steven Sidwell? Or Steve Lomas? Is this some sort of a money laundering scheme? What the feck is the point of all of this?
Why can’t we do things that make sense for a change?
What a load of nonsense, come on guys… ffs

People will find anything to complain about on here. He’s coming in as a solid pro, to give advice on the training pitch and occasionally in games. McShane only played 5 matches last season, and has now moved into a coaching role after proving himself a good coach.Why are we signing random underachieving players to coach our players again?

This is such a dumb post. Jose Mourinho and Alex Ferguson where both 'random underachieving players' and they did ok. Being an average player does not mean you will be an average coach. I guess you think Lampard is a great coach because he was a good player? I have no idea if Huddlestone will be a good coach or not but your 'logic' is absolutely stupid.Why are we signing random underachieving players to coach our players again? What is happening?

If anything, more top coaches were mediocre players than great playersThis is such a dumb post. Jose Mourinho and Alex Ferguson where both 'random underachieving players' and they did ok.

My first thought as well. Foot like a traction engine. Weirdly, he was always one of my favourite non-United players to watch. Such a clean striker of the ball. Plus fascinatingly immobile.Man had an utter bullet of a shot. These 18 year old keepers are going to have broken scaphoids.
I see you, fellow ice hockey fanGood pickup. Low cost veteran player who might have some value at the trade deadline and we can flip him for a prospect.
I was at Old Trafford once when United hosted Hull and I sat near the pitch and saw him in the warmup. He was sweeping volleys and hit is so clean every time and always on his teammate's foot. Very satisfying to see his skills.My first thought as well. Foot like a traction engine. Weirdly, he was always one of my favourite non-United players to watch. Such a clean striker of the ball.

Darron Gibson was another footballer whose ability to strike the ball incredibly hard, with flawless technique, far exceeded his overall talent. Hard to think of any equivalent playing right now?I was at Old Trafford once when United hosted Hull and I sat near the pitch and saw him in the warmup.

I’m surprised nobody’s mentioned Mates FC, given the Phelan / Hull connection.Well one thing is for certain, someone on the caf is embarrassed about this.

That Chelsea fullback absolute twatting freekicks from pretty far out. What was his name, Alex or something like that?Darron Gibson was another footballer whose ability to strike the ball incredibly hard, with flawless technique, far exceeded his overall talent.

Challenge Keeper on corners. Although once you signed Micah Richards that was basically that on corners.Same here.
Arrow pointing forwrd & Long shots on Often.
Still gets me, a decade onTom Hundredstone
Still at it.Darron Gibson was another footballer whose ability to strike the ball incredibly hard, with flawless technique, far exceeded his overall talent. Hard to think of any equivalent playing right now?
Niiiiiiice. Can do that with either foot. A rare talent.Still at it.
no way!He's 33?!
No, he is walking away.Can you fill me in?
Arrigo Sacchi the definition of a bang average player, utter baller as a manager at club and international level.If anything, more top coaches were mediocre players than great players
It makes a lot of sense, I'm surprised it's just the two clubs doing it. Shame it's an external appointment, but guess it's a difficult position to fill, someone borderline between retiring playing and moving to coaching.The outrage is a little strange. We've done this type of signing before - it's a veteran type of player who help provide an experienced level head when playing with the younger ones in a pastoral player-coach capacity. Off the top of my head it's only us and Liverpool who have been doing it but you can expect a few more clubs to do this type of thing.
Loads of clubs do it. Few clubs can be monetised by sensationalist media stories being written.The outrage is a little strange.

I wonder if there’s a tiny chance that might actually happen? If we’ve an injury crisis or are playing some meaningless europa game could he actually play for the first team?He’ll get games in the first team if he plays his cards right.
