  1. Are Bruno and Rashford a problem?

    Contrarian (but objective) take--I think United looked pretty good against City, especially first half, and had chances in second half too. However, City played exceptionally well even for their level, especially Grealish and Foden. Anyway... maybe this isn't unique insight but could Rashford...
  2. Granit "The Hacker" Xhaka | Likes his reds

    He's 30, one year left, being offered a 4-year deal, and wants to go to the continent to be closer to home which Arsenal will accommodate and take a bit of a hit on the fee from higher relative EPL wages. I think it's pretty fair fee all things considered.
  3. Ole - "I'm 100% sure Michael Carrick will be the manager of Manchester United"

    The things he's saying about Carrick here remind me a lot of how Wenger and Pep talked about Arteta long before he got the job. Also, players and staff around the club talked about Arteta as future manager while he was still playing. I see Carrick becoming the most successful ex-United player...
  4. ARSENAL OFFICIALLY BOTTLE IT! Arsenal fans now backtracking....2nd will be a great season for us! Surely that has to be seen as a failure??

    Think it was more that he was saying in March that Arsenal would finish behind Manchester United
  5. Day 13: Ghana vs Uruguay | South Korea vs Portugal | Cameroon vs Brazil | Serbia vs Switzerland

    been wondering if I'm the only one who thinks he's world class. Been saying he's a world beater for a few months now
  6. Portugal | WC 2022 Discussion | Roberto Martinez to become next manager

    Some really great in form players if they can go with the younger group as you said. Vitinha has to play, I think he's one of the best MFers in the world, time will tell.
  7. Lionel Messi | PSG Watch

    Idk about last year, but watched a few this year (in person v Marseille) and PSG's midfield is very good and balanced. Ruiz, Verrati, and Vitinha for me has power, finesse, and engine room in it respectively. That let's the top 3 walk around a little more, but also surprised me that Neymar is...
  8. Jude Bellingham | Borussia Dortmund player...

    nah, like Mbappe :) or would be nice to have Kimmich w all those B2B and Tchouameni too. This is RM so we can dream big!
  9. Jude Bellingham | Borussia Dortmund player...

    I agree with Zehner, RM B2B will be crowded role, and it seems like w those 4 they wouldn't really be replacing Modric/Kroos' playmaking and phenomenal passing. And I personally don't think it's necessary to pay that high of a premium for the B2B skillset, there will certainly come along more...
  10. England Starting 11 for 2022 WC

    Man, I disagree with most points here--I'm not English which explains my lack of pessimism and ball knowledge ;). Get rid of 3 ATB, Rice and Bellingham is a really solid spine, so make room for Mount/Foden behind Sterling-Kane-Saka (or Rashford for either side). Pickford is solid, might cost a...
  11. Christian Pulisic

    As Arsenal fan I hope you don't get him, think he would be a very good addition. wrote this in May: "Pulisic for MUFC would be a great pick-up IMO. Hard worker helps just behind Ronaldo. Would play well coming in higher up on left, Bruno slightly deeper on right and spend big on a DM/CM at the...
  12. Darwin Núñez / signs for Liverpool

    Could see him working out ok in Klopp's system relative to any other in PL, but highly doubt it will be good value. Happy for Pool to take that gamble
  13. Transfer Tweets - 2021/22 | Check the OP for blacklisted sources before posting

    Agree. Pulisic for MUFC would be a great pick-up IMO. Hard worker helps just behind Ronaldo. Would play well coming in higher up on left, Bruno slightly deeper on right and spend big on a DM/CM at the base like a Rodri. Sancho on left, Ziyech on right.
  14. Has the gap between premier league and other leagues grown too much?

    Money will always find a way to reward merit. It is inevitable that the league (or league structure, e.g. CL, SL, etc.) that accepts this the most will be where talent and money concentrate, and where competition will be the best. The entire world doesn't want to watch the best players in the...
  15. Champions League Round of 16 (15th Feb - 16th Mar)

    Davies is fastest. There's a quote from Kingsley Coman where he says Davies is faster than Mbappe.
