AneRu's latest activity

  • Wilcox just spent a year as DOF at Southampton, what had Edwards done before becoming Liverpool's Technical Director? Berrada reportedly handled or participated in transfer negotians at City. He is the guy who advised City to walk away from the...
  • Every new manager we hired after Moyes achieved his objectives and got sacked when they failed them. We haven't won the major titles but we have won some respectable trophies and got into the top 3 in 4/11 seasons. The reason things didn't get...
  • The same INEOS that's brought Berrada, Ashworth and Wilcox to United? I think they take this more seriously than you think and the one whose impact on things is currently understated is Berrada - the guy started out at Barcelona doing their...
  • The same mish mash squad achieved 4 top 3 finishes in 6 seasons before this one, he then got another 200m to correct it and look where that's taken us. We brought in leaders like Varane and Casemiro which should have taken of the last point but...

    Yeah people don't know what motivates a man like Zidane, we now have a bunch of people in the building who would have access to him, who can goad him into taking up the challenge and we are now backed by deep pockets whilst ours aren't exactly...

    It would be utter madness to go through all the work required to bring in serious and talented football operators like Berrada, Ashworth and Wilcox and the saddle them with two average coaches who wouldn't have the support of the base. Woodward...
  • Yeah that's fair, expecting one man to be the messiah is mainly why we find ourselves in this position. We need collaborative efforts and we mostly need someone who can listen to our own scouts and push for the deals they identify at the upper...
  • We just need to avoid what we did with Ten Hag. Yes he is good and all but we shouldn't sign every youth player he has ever worked with or deferring to him over our scouts. Frimpong is a great wingback but could be a disaster at fullback in this...
  • AneRu replied to the thread Who replaces Ten Hag?.
    I think so too, he is an easy hire to make and is proven at the top level being a CL winner, finalist and has achieved a top 3 finish before. He was solid at Chelsea even if you take out the CL win as some sort of an outlier and that ability to...
  • AneRu replied to the thread Ivan Toney Pt.2.
    Obviously we won't replace Hoijlund a year into his United career but we absolutely must bring in a sure thing to compete with, push him and to have adequate cover. We have to find a way to bring in a top class striker.
  • We need to hedge ourselves against long term injuries to the two players who play key positions on one side of the pitch. It's not negotiable and you can never have too many good players because games are too many and you need to rotate anyway...
  • AneRu replied to the thread Ivan Toney Pt.2.
    Goals are the most important thing in football, that's why strikers get paid the big bucks. It's very possible that the previous guys we fired for incompetence, as it turns out, may have fecked up our big striker signing. Looking at how things...
  • AneRu replied to the thread Who replaces Ten Hag?.
    I think we need to think this through, if we miss out on a young manager to do a quickish build with we should look at guys like Mancini, Valverde or anyone of that ilk. Men who know enough about football to do the right thing, make the correct...

    At the end of the day money talks, both his salary and money for the rebuild. That Villa side is going to be looted or best case scenario be left with unsettled, unhappy players looking elsewhere and if he is not careful he may go from hero to...
  • AneRu replied to the thread Joao Neves.
    With the way both are playing we will be lucky to. If the Saudis don't bite on Casemiro I can see us loaning him to Inter or Brazil whilst covering a significant portion of his wage. We are truly fecked on that one.
