  1. Striker options?

    Taremi was an option but Inter seem to have snapped him up. Ben Yedder had been charged with rape, Luka Jovic is lazy while Danny Welbeck is Danny Welbeck The only players that I can think of is Che Adams
  2. Andy Cole - premier league hall of famer

    Cole was an excellent player but Shearer was a beast, at par, to batistuta. I dare to say that he was even better then RVN as he possessed his eye for goal but he could also drop deep and help out. Regarding trophies, well, a Shearer would probably score against Dortmund in that CL semi final...
  3. Andy Cole - premier league hall of famer

    Previously United were built around Cantona and after Cole left they certainly built a team around first RVN and then Ronaldo. Have you ever wondered why? I like Cole. He was an excellent forward and the prototype of the modern striker ie a guy who was good in everything (pace, workrate, a...
  4. Marcus Rashford (Out) | Ornstein: United want to keep, will only consider substantial bids

    I need for a player to succeed with Manchester United he needs three things A- He must be a high quality player ie one of the top 1-2% in the world B- He must have the right attitude to succeed and work under pressure C- He must be able to handle the physicality and pace of the EPL. I believe...
  5. David Ornstein: Man Utd want to keep Marcus Rashford | Consideration of sale if Rashford wants to take on a new challenge or a substantial bid arrives

    Rashford is on sale. This was a brief and the closest a club can come to putting a for sale sign near a top salaried player on a long term contract without irking him. The dance had already started with Rashford politely telling them to eff off because ''he's happy at the club'.
  6. Premier League clubs have agreed in principle to introduce a spending cap

    I am no expert but I think it could work things out
  7. Premier League clubs have agreed in principle to introduce a spending cap

    I am not proposing a radical change simply because the EPL is already one of the most exciting and competitive leagues in the world. What I am proposing is simple tweaks to an already successful system.
  8. Premier League clubs have agreed in principle to introduce a spending cap

    I am not an accountant but my idea would be - revenue based. That would keep sugar daddies under control while concurrently protecting smaller clubs from a financial meltdown - TV revenues should be distributed more fairly - there should be incentives towards clubs that want to improve such...
  9. Premier League clubs have agreed in principle to introduce a spending cap

    for the short term yes but football fuel business and not viceversa. Less money on the football side will translate to the league becoming less attractive, thus less revenue and then less dividends. That's what happened to the Serie A. There was a time when the best players in the world played...
  10. Premier League clubs have agreed in principle to introduce a spending cap

    I recently went to the US and City shirts were the norm and far more frequent then United shirts. My point is that EPL football is big. Even in our prime there was zero risk of United becoming the Bayern Munich of England.
  11. Premier League clubs have agreed in principle to introduce a spending cap

    The German league is different to the EPL though. In the Bundesliga, Bayern acts like super massive black hole who sucks and destroys everything daring crossing its event horizon. Occasionally a German club might look as if its stole its shine for a while but in the end its destruction is...
  12. Premier League clubs have agreed in principle to introduce a spending cap

    There's a Huge difference though. The only one benefiting out of sugar daddies are the club in question. They tend to go in, they monopolise the league, ruining competition in the process and then they leave leaving a hole in that club's finances. Hordes of fans make that club and by default...
  13. Premier League clubs have agreed in principle to introduce a spending cap

    That's how communism work. Countries implementing that didn't fare great right? Spoiler alert no one like to work so that others benefit out of it especially if those rules are crippling them. What usually happens is that they'll find an alternative way out of it I understand with the idea of...
  14. Premier League clubs have agreed in principle to introduce a spending cap

    What is the point of building the commercial brand if we're tied to the hip in terms of spending with some yo yo championship club who play long ball football? This should be tied to revenue rather then how much Sheffield United earn!
