I cant believe what I am reading from some fans. At the start of the season someone said you would finish in two cup finals, win one of them and finish top 4 you would have snapped their hand off. He is on course to do just that. We are still favourites to finish top 4. We have played a...

Forgot about Lamptey.....I like him or anyone else that isn't AWB, AWB is alright as back up but not to start....he is to limited.

Rest of the Season : Develop Style of play, identify who doesn't fit that style of play. January 2021: Sell Pogba, Lingard, Jones, Martial. Loan out VDB,& Henderson Summer 2022: Sack Current Coaching Staff Appoint New Manager complete with his own chosen coaching team ( My choice Erik Ten...

Would sell Pogba and De Gea. Would offer us circa £200m in transfer fees and bring about a massive saving in wages. This would allow us to invest in 4-5 new players without impacting finances to much. I would make Henderson our no.1 next season. (Free) Then buy Sancho (circa £100m) Grealish...

Why would you spend any money let alone £30m+ on someone who is currently injured, has been injured consistently over the last few years and has a really poor goal scoring record. I'm reading he is out until the end of February, hardly the quick fix we currently need. If this is the standard...

Totally agree. Although I am not Mata's biggest fan he produced some good moments in the game on Saturday. He has class and shows it in most games when he plays and his ball retention is also very good, unfortunately though he doesn't not suit our system or playing style. Ole wants young and...

We are short in midfield and really lack options but this guy is not good enough for Man Utd. I doubt he would start in any other premierships starting 11, which just shows how short we are. Him and Pogba constantly giving the ball away on Saturday must have given Ole nightmares but at least...

I think we would of been interested but would he of been interested in us. He would of wanted to start wherever he chose to go and I'm not sure he is any better than Shaw at the moment and he wouldn't of started ahead of any of the options we currently have on the left wing. Its difficult to...

I think what he is doing is right by the club, that is a lot of wages of our books for players who either aren't good enough for Utd or don't have the correct attitude to play for our club. Some of these departures may also result in transfer fees in the end, so I'm all for it. He is doing what...

Its endemic in all walks of life bud, you get in the work place, at home and just generally in life. I'm only 39 and find myself saying we were better team back in the day (watching a my old footy team), life was better when I was younger we were outside playing all the time (to my daughters)...

I believe Ole is the right guy at this point in time. He is doing so many things right; promoting the young players, slowly moving out the dross, putting more energy into the side, working on fitness, promoting a pressing game. Yes the squad has deficiencies but he cant sort it all out in one...

Michael Owen Ballon d'Or winner. Had a brilliant 7-8 years with Liverpool and then injuries hit at Real Madrid, went on to play for us and was eventually disliked by everybody. He talent is pretty much forgotten now as he peaked so young and then his reputation was ruined for crossing the divide.

The whining on this forum is unbelievable. We are 3 games in and we have played decent football for the most part and been extremely unlucky not to win all 3 matches, if the penalties go in it a whole different story. If we win at Southampton on Saturday we are in a decent position going...

I agree. People need to get a grip. Liverpool and Man City and are still miles ahead, not exactly a surprise is it. I still fancy our chances against the rest, we been unlucky in a couple of games where we were miles better than the opposition. A good win at Southampton and it all looks very...

The hope is that the club now have a ethos around transfer dealings and although Ole would have a say I believe the club has decided they now have a set transfer policy regardless of who the manager is. Signing Maddison would match the same ethos based on our summer buys. So would Sancho for...
