  1. Really, where are we now?

    My guess is that this will be the last year for Ten Hag. I'd thought he might be the answer, but he seems to carry too much baggage. He allows his own personal issues with players to interfere too much. He freezes some players out for little reason and overlooks problems with others. It does not...
  2. Cristiano Ronaldo - Much Ado About Al Nassr

    Huh? Saudi is doing a form of money laundering, though what it is attempting to launder is its reputation. It's doing this by paying these players astronomical amounts to play there. Still, Filipino women, Africa men who go to work in Saudi get their passports taken from them, often receive no...
  3. Cristiano Ronaldo - Much Ado About Al Nassr

    Does moving to a league in country that murders journalists, kills refugees, practices slavery, funds terrorism, and more for a lot of money enhance your reputation?
  4. Are we a one man team? (And that man is Casemiro)

    Of course, Erickson is also missing. However, we have, at least, adequate backup for Erickson. The problem is that we don't have any real backup for Casemiro. (I think that needs to be a priority summer signing, along with a striker.) Sabitzer offered no help at all against Leeds' press. He did...
  5. Most intelligent players (on the pitch)

    I think that it would be even more interesting to talk about which current United players have good footballing IQ. Definitely, as a few have mentioned, Casemiro is a very intelligent footballer. I'd put Erickson and Varane up there close, maybe not quite at Casemiro's level, but close...
  6. Post match vs Nottingham Forest

    Sorry to nitpick. I was curious to see if Arjen Robben had truly been that prolific of a goal scorer, because - to be honest - I was never much of a fan of his. In his three years at Chelsea, he never topped 10 goals in a season (all competitions included). However, at Bayern he did score more...
  7. United aiming to sell Harry Maguire next summer according to Jamie Jackson

    Don't limit this to English clubs. Maguire would make a good centreback in Italy, Spain, or Germany, too. Maguire is a good centreback. He is not good enough to start in front of Varane or Licha, and I think that Lindelof partners with each of those players better as a sub. But, Maguire is...
  8. Post match vs Nottingham Forest

    I tend to agree with you. Also, he was playing with AWB, who has not linked up well with wingers in the past, so one should not expect it in this game. Antony needs to play a bit calmer, and he wants to cut inside too frequently. It makes him easier to defend if you know what he is going to do...
  9. The Centre Forward Stop-Gap Market

    Then again, I could be very wrong on this. :angel:
  10. Joao Felix / on loan to Chelsea

    What I am saying is that a short-term deal is probably not worth it for Joao Felix. I don't think he fits the profile of what United need over the next 6 months - someone that can contribute 10-15 goal contribution. However, I think a long-term signing might not be a bad idea. From everything...
  11. Memphis Depay 2.0 as no. 9

    It seems to me that there are a few differences from the last time that Depay was at United. He seems to have matured both as a player and as a person, which makes a major difference. I also think that ETH makes a difference. There is both a structure and some freedom within the structure. All...
  12. I was wrong about Casemiro

    Modric is still playing at a high level at 37 years old. The solution is good squad depth. I'd love to see United add someone like Declan Rice, who can play the 8 or 6 position and add some depth to the midfield. I disagree that Eriksen is not the right partner to Casemiro, but signing Enzo...
  13. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    It seems pretty obvious that some fans are not aware of what is actually happening at United. When Malacia played at RB, AWB was still recovering from injury and unavailable to play. Casemiro, played at CB due to Varane and Martinez being away due to playing in the final of this thing called the...
  14. The Centre Forward Stop-Gap Market

    I think that Ivan Toney would be a great signing. The FA are going to be very slow about any suspensions - meaning that he is likely to see out the Premier League season, and since he is cooperating, my guess is that the suspensions will likely be minimal.
  15. Joao Felix / on loan to Chelsea

    I believe that Felix has been on the radar of great young attacking talents for a few years; however, he has acquired a bit of a reputation for being very talented without actually delivering much. For example, since moving from Benfica to Athletica Madrid, he has scored about once every 4...
