First Team Onana £40m - I think we paid slightly above market rate for an ok keeper Bayindir £5m - I have absolutely no idea how good he is because Ten Hag only gave him one start (I think) Dalot £60m - need to be a ridiculous offer for me to consider selling AWB £10m - one year left on his...

For most of the sub appearances, though probably not all, he has been fit enough to start. If he was an important player the ratio of starts to sub appearances might be 10 starts 3 sub, or 9 starts 4 sub. Instead it is 4 starts, 9 sub.

United do not have the financial resources to carry a £10m+ per season back-up to Fernandes. And whoever thought Mount could play as a number 8 should be fired. There is a world of difference between a low priced, low salary gamble, and a £55m transfer with wages above £10m per season to then...

Yes I have. He is a sub more than twice as often as he starts PL games. That makes him a back-up player.

Ignoring his injuries for a moment, Mount has 4 starts 9 sub appearances in the PL this season. We paid £55m and wages between £10m and £12m per season (will be lower end of scale since his appearance bonuses will be so low). United simply cannot afford to pay that level of transfer fee and...

This is what I don't understand about Ten Hag's current group of supporters. He has spent close to £400m. Buy the players you need to play your system. Don't waste money on over-priced players, ageing players and players that don't fit your system. This is mind-blowing managerial (and Director...

Ashworth seems, from a distance, to be a Murtough like Director of Football in that his skill-set is managing all the different departments that report to him, rather than being the appropriate person to determine how the team should play, therefore understand the type of manager to appoint...

Excellent post. Shame United barely follow any of your guidelines. For high priced transfers, it is especially important to understand the role they played for their previous team and the contribution of their supporting cast who do all the dull, boring stuff like winning possession, making...

I wouldn't mind a couple of seasons of very minimal transfer activity. United have been so clueless at transfers in the post-Ferguson era. We need a massive review of all the data, not just United's but other PL teams, other big sides across Europe, in order to get a basic understanding of...

Super finish for his goal and performed well overall. Still not changed my mind on him.

Goal + assist from Scott; nice weight on the pass to Rashford. No great surprise when he scores this season. Gets into good positions time after time. Decent attempt that went wide late in the game. It wouldn't even cross my mind to sell him. I don't understand the logic at all. We have so many...

Good finish for his goal. Thought he played well overall. Competed hard, helped us win back possession for Rashford's goal. Surely he needs to be given a fair chance to see what he can contribute. Ten Hag just seems intent on denying him mins.

AJ Brown signed a 4 year $5.6m deal with the Titans in 2019, then was traded to the Eagles who gave him a 4 year $100m contract extension in 2022. The overall cap in 2022 was $210,900,000. In 2024 it is $260,667,337. In 2022 the Titans had Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry with a combined Cap...

That's an interesting interview. As far as I can understand, Ashworth did not select either Eddie Howe (arrived at Newcastle before him) or Graham Potter (chosen by Brighton owner Tony Bloom). Similarly, the Brighton style of play and approach came from their owner. So who is making those...

Q: I've clicked on a user's profile and it says access denied. How do I ignore them? A: Add 'ignore' to the end of the URL and press enter. So for example if the URL ends like 'members/fake-member-name.9000009/', the new URL would end 'members/fake-member-name.9000009/ignore'. Go to the new URL...
