  1. Solskjær sack watch | 2019/20 edition

    Fact of the matter is the club is in the state it is due to the manager merry go round over the last few years. One manager comes in with new ideas and strategies, that possibly don't fit the players currently at the club. Then the recruitment policy changes and the club react by buying players...
  2. 6 realistic signings to improve us?

    Just hand over everything we have for Saul Niguez and Haaling. Would even take Mandzukic for a season, different type of player that would be able to help out the youngsters. Including Haaland.
  3. Why is Scottish football so bad?

    At the end of the day, I don’t really care about the tv money. Yes we would improve the standard of football in the league. But that wouldn’t do anything for young Scottish players. We need to improve them first. That would lead to better players in Scotland. Which would then be sold for more money.
  4. Why is Scottish football so bad?

    Granted the standard of facilities in Scotland is very poor. But i would say that it is the way we coach school kids to play is the problem. In places like Spain, where they have a very high standard of technical players, they start children off playing in small five a sides. They even play...
  5. Would you take Zlatan in the January window? [Poll Added]

    Not a chance. We already build up at a snails pace, he would only worsen the matter. What we really need is defensive and midfield leaders. Midfielder to start giving Pogba a boot up the A**E and start playing 1 / 2 touch football and moving the ball forward at pace. And someone at the back to...
  6. How do you rate Jose's signings

    Yeah Lukaku is really a big disappointment... He scored 27 goals last season. Other than Zlatan in 16/17 he is the highest scorer since RvP got 30 in the 12/13 season. As for Fred, you have seen him play twice. Unless you are an avid supporter of Shakhtar.... As SAF always said it will take a...
  7. Maguire | NOT McGuire or MacGuire

    A good signing this may be. But i still don't think it is necessarily what we need at the minute. Our defense lacks leadership and an experienced head to take control of the line. If you look back through the years at the best defensive partnerships, they all have a real leader at the back. Rio...
  8. De Gea contract talk | Signs new deal

    He has constantly said, since the failed transfer back in 2015, he wants to stay where he is. Thing is, now that Zidane has gone, who always maintained he wanted Navas to be the number 1, they might actually make a more concrete move. Especially if Perez has anything to do with it. Balague...
  9. If Celtic were in the Championship, would they win it?

    Realistically they would be scrapping for playoff places. Being a Aberdeen fan i have seen a lot of them. Compared to the rest of the teams in the SPL, they are miles ahead, both in wages they can pay and transfers they can afford. Second best team in the league (Aberdeen) could only afford to...
  10. FIFA considering reforming the loan system, or even scrapping it altogether (France Football)

    Can't see there being a full ban. Definitely need the system to be limited though. Top clubs keep all the young talent, if they were only allowed to loan up to 10 players the lower leagues would become more competitive as younger, better players would filter down to the lower teams. In turn...
  11. Players that will leave in the summer

    I can see Blind, Darmian, Fellaini, Zlatan, Smalling and the retiring Carrick all leaving. Fellaini - Not a Man Utd player, useless on the ball when playing in the deeper position. - Need to bring in a more mobile destroyer that can break the play up like Kante does for Chelsea Zlatan - Good...
  12. What do we still need? Post Summer 2017 edition

    Well the formatting didn't come out as planned.... Essentially playing 3 at the back 2 holding midfielders with Pogba Milinkovic-Saviv and Mata playing the 10 role. Sanchez and Lukaku up top...
  13. What do we still need? Post Summer 2017 edition

    The problem at the minute is Pogba. He is a very good player when going forward, but lacks the drive and positional awareness in defense. I would like to see Mourinho adopt a 3-5-2 formation, not the norm for United, but will get the best out of Pogba. With a summer addition like Toni Kroos, who...
