Was crap at Chelsea, is crap here.
I think a lot of folks on here don't understand the scope of the rot that's set in throughout every department in the club. Just look at how often the idea of throwing a new manager, or a youth team player, etc at one of our problems is thrown around under the expectation that it'll fix things.He would be doing very well for those teams, and the narrative on here would be how we "missed out" on Mount
Same if we had got another keeper instead of Onana, and let Hojlund go to PSG.
People can't understand that the tactical system and overall environment is by far the most important thing for a player.
Do they seriously think the likes of Bellingham, Vinícius, Foden, Haaland, Wirtz, etc. (most of the Ballon d'Or contenders) would look anything more than half-decent players at best in this United side? Such an easy and obvious concept but I guess it's better to moan about nonexistent issues.
People haven't learned after seeing the same players perform very well in 20/21 and 22/23, whilst looking like a shadow of themselves in 21/22 and 23/24.Let’s at least be fair, it’s close to impossible to shine in this degree of dog poo, it’s actually absolutely outstanding that Bruno sometimes manages to lift his head above the mountain of shite.
I agree.I think a lot of folks on here don't understand the scope of the rot that's set in throughout every department in the club.

Mount would look good in a well drilled pressing team with able and willing teammates, he's one of the best off-the-ball players around. Unfortunately to look good at United at the moment players need to be able to make things happen out of nothing, which isn't Mount's game at all.
I'll just put this here, a post when we bought him.He is shite, and we are shite to buy him for 60 mil. in his last year of contract. And Kane was 100 mil.
Well, both are true despite you presumably thinking otherwiseBaffling signing.
From the tiny amount of times we got him and Bruno together it never looked like it'd work either.
No doubt this is where we start saying he "needs certain players around him" or "needs a functioning system under a new manager".
We've been here before haven't we.
Always has been, utterly devoid of any meaningful talent outside of a strong VO2 Max.He's a nothing player.
Apparently, if you become perfectly still, you become invisible.Possibly more invisible than Tom Cleverly.
He is a good player. He is “good” at all of those spots. He could probably put in a shift at fullback if a manager needed (that’s why mgrs love him), but he lacks the physical skills, creativity, technical skills to be elite at any one position.It's so weird. He's obviously good at something, he is a premiership player who has played for England loads...and yet, what is he? What does he do? Why did Chelsea sell him to us too?
I don't know. He certainly wasn't what United needed at the time, nor needs now for that money. It's baffling to me and likely always will be.
Said this before we even signed him and got laughed at. He plays at the wrong end of the pitch to offer no goals or assists for a majority of the season. We could have just kept Lingard...He is the perfect example of a nothing player.
Glazer’s somehow taking cuts. To be honest it wouldn’t hard, just cosy up to some of the bigger agents and split fees.Another money laundering signing.
I'm not adding much but precisely what I came here to say. He's the antithesis of Bruno, who is not system orientated in the slightest but will sometimes conjure up something out of his backside, which makes it incredibly baffling that they were considered to be complimentary to each other.He's a good system player. We just have a really shite system.
D James was better than Antony still is imo.. roll on next season .. get rid of the crapChelsea selling Mason to us for 50-60mil was like Ajax selling Antony to us for 85mil. How do this clubs manage to get so much money for their turds? Other than Ronaldo and Daniel James we have never managed to sell any decent player for good money.
Nah, he had 3 good/great season at Chelsea and was voted their player of the season twice. Had one bad season and then bailed.Was crap at Chelsea, is crap here.
