So, they built a scouting department fitting a multi-club structure, or a loan strategy like Chelsea’s, but never decided what to do with this huge setup. No wonder the club’s given to monitor almost every player out there, when in fact they are doing so. One last thought though. With naming...

Seems so to me, but broadening on that I also think Ten Hag disregarded all the data in TrackerMan because he did not trust the players there to fit his philosophy and/or demands.

Excellent (and quite depressing) long-read from Laurie Whitwell. The piece details how United go about with recruitment, and features the post-saf-era, but also gives some insight into Sir Alex' recruitment strategy. The article contains so many details you'd think he's sat down with John...

Mate, have you seen Salah up close? Although Rashford is taller, Salah is much bigger in muscle mass. Rashford for me resembles Mané more.

Skjær = skjär..? Pretty similar ;)

Skerry or skerries. That is the most accurate translation of skjær. So, sun skerries. Probably.

And why are transfer about other teams' transfers relevant for this thread? It usually was only United relevant tweets, wasn't it?

With Gomes, I cannot stop myself from drawing lines to other smaller players. Lingard didn't make it before his twenties. Even Iniesta wasn't playing regularly before he was 20. It'll probably also take Gomes some extra time growing into senior football, but he has a lot of talent, and maybe too...

This. If we're at the same place this time next year, and still act clueless against lesser teams, then I'll be expecting Ole's sack. Football is not much better now after a year, but Ole in charge is inflicting what I consider as good developments at the club. With José we were losing much of...

Nowhere, but after started running and Ole commenting he is hoping he'll play in December, I expect the medical department at Carrington can take over.

Seems he is headed for Manchester.

:cool::cool:

That is refreshingly rational thinking from someone playing in the Dutch league.

Wouldn’t you say it is a fair strategy in order to not inflate a price for a replacement? Meaning that they leak fake news to the media via intermediaries, and secure a better deal? Would think Leicester could afford Dunk/Tarkowski easily without the Maguire transfer, but after it, they could be...

Reckon the wait is due to that Leicester probably made sure nothing is official until they have secured a replacement.
