  1. Club Sale | It’s done!

    That's fair. A statement of intention from him was nicer to see than what Ratcliffe put out . Jassim intends to buy the Glazers and shareholders out though right? Investment pledge amounts after sale shouldn't have much bearing to them, just bid offer amount and price per share. Glazers and...
  2. Club Sale | It’s done!

    Does/did anyone feel the £800m ($1b) Qatar pledge of investment may have been a dangling carrot to get into exclusivity? 'look, extra money we have here nudge nudge, willing to negotiate wink wink'. Glazers wont care about investment after a sale. Other than fan appeal/PR, why specify the...
  3. Antony | 2022/23 Performances

    He's been under Ten Hag coaching for near 3 years now? In a way, i don't know if that's a worrying thing on Eric, Anthony or both parts. Surely Eric expects more or knows he is capable or its looking like an expensive misjudgment on his part. Anthony needs to step up or adapt etc. I wouldn't...
  4. The United Stand........."Big Announcement"

    He hasn't said any worse than what's gets said on here. His heat of the moment clips, opinions, place of upbringing, real name etc doesn't require the amount of vitriol that gets said on here. Just the mere mention of his name sends some into a rage.
  5. The United Stand........."Big Announcement"

    Same old, same old. The vitriol and hate Mark Goldbridge seems to elicit from some on here is very odd and over the top.
  6. YouTube United channels

    The reactions Mark Goldbridge seems to elicit from many on here (along with twitter and YT comments) is odd and over the top. He delivers all types of daily news and rumours etc that are reported on United (whether BS or Spin), and gives his opinions and views on all things United and football...
  7. No.1 for next season - De Gea or Henderson?

    I suppose you are right with VDS situation and all-round ability to overcome. It's just strange and tiresome to see, the constant calls for De Gea to be replaced etc and the academy/english player hype for a somewhat average (imo) looking GK in Henderson. I can't/don't deny De Gea isn't as good...
  8. No.1 for next season - De Gea or Henderson?

    Didn't Edwin Van Der Sar have a period of errors and feeling unappreciated at Juventus? At a similar age as Dea Gea is now, only to turn it back around and go on and be a beast beyond his mid 30s. I can't help but feel De Gea is in a similar position, being criticised and written off at 30. I...
  9. New coach and other backroom changes

    Hopefully Michael Clegg is as good of a strength and conditioning coach as his dad was for us. Nothing to back up my theory, but i always felt our players were not as well conditioned after Mick Clegg left.
  10. How would you feel if Rooney smashed it at Everton?

    May have been discussed, I briefly heard Gary Neville discussing Rooney, paraphrasing along the lines of: "Wayne has every right not to be as fit now, due to how he has played in the past". Find it kind of strange statement, defense and excuse. He has been overall poor for a very long time yet...
  11. Manchester United vs West Ham United

    :lol: The Game
  12. Gareth Bale | Mourinho: "Game over. Now everyone knows he's going to stay."

    Wasn't Ryan Giggs written off/in decline at one point for us due to injuries? Granted, Giggs was probably more adaptable/talented in aspects than Bale. Also didnt Robben have injury problems at some point? He overcame them and still remained quality and fast. Bale shouldn't turn into a Rooney...
  13. James Rodriguez | joins Bayern Munich | 2 year loan

    Would have him here, i think he could surprise a few. Hearing commentators say "Hamez" instead of James does irrationally annoy me at the best of times lol, but i would deal with it, if he came to us.
  14. Romelu Lukaku | United confirm deal subject to medical and personal terms

    As long he keeps scoring 20+ a season for us, i dont think i can/will complain. I have a worry it could go all Carroll or Benteke on us, for some reason.
  15. Wayne Rooney | Having medical

    Wayne's physique is that of an endomorph, coupled with his probable lack of dedication with diet and training etc, that the Ronaldos and Zltatans of the world have, along with decrease in passion and hunger(not that kind), have lead to an overall decline. His mind/mental drive,fire, passion...
