Ikon's latest activity

  • After this weekend's results, I just feel that the writing is on the wall. I still believe that he might have been the right man, so I'll lay the blame squarely at the feet of the players for their prima donna attitude, once again, yet another...
  • Ikon replied to the thread Marcus Rashford (Out).
    All players have a dip in form or a poor game, but there is never any excuse for not giving 100% effort for your team, even when your having an off day yourself. I'd repeat that to any player at any level, it's the most basic requirement, but...
  • Ikon replied to the thread Was the Casemiro signing a mistake?.
    The signing of Casemiro was NOT a mistake, albeit a panic signing. The mistake was in the size of the fee, the size of the salary, and the length of contract.
  • Ikon replied to the thread Frenkie De Jong - Part 3?.
    With the emergence of Mainoo, I don't know that De Jong would be a perfect Midfield partner for him, and Mainoo is most definitely our long term future.
  • Ikon replied to the thread Option/replacement for Casemiro.
    A typical Big name panic signing, coming in the wake of the De Jong debacle. Unusually for United though, Casemiro has actually performed to a very decent standard for us, and been a very influential player. But as per usual, there was no...
  • If Ashworth really is going to be so vital to the longer term project, then strike a deal, pay up the compensation, and get him onboard soon as possible. Whatever it costs, it will be small change compared to the sums that we wastefully spunk...
  • The more that I read about the achievements of Dan Ashworth the more impressed I become, for example I didn't know about his involvement with implementing the "England DNA" structure. I hear compensation of around £6M would have to be paid to...
  • Ikon replied to the thread Club Sale | It’s done!.
    And rightly so... It's been ridiculous the way the club's Scouting & Recruitment teams have shirked their responsibility and thrown it to Ten Hag like a hot potato. I'm only disappointed that we haven't heard of wholesale sackings in those areas...
  • Ikon replied to the thread Club Sale | It’s done!.
    Some sources speculate its because Ten Hag isn't seen as a long term option, and any transfer budget is being held for his successor... :rolleyes:
  • Ikon replied to the thread Jarrad Branthwaite.
    from what I've seen of him, doesn't inspire confidence. He looks clumsy and a bit awkward.
  • He hasn't shown a desire to play for United for quite sometime now, and this latest transgression, coming at a time when Sancho has only recently been loaned out because of his piss poor attitude, and with INEOS publicly stating that they will...
  • But how many years did it take him to clear the club of the bad apples?
