  1. So, how about that Varane + Martinez partnership?

    They seem to compliment each other perfectly. Martinez is strong and aggressive and Varane is always in the right position. Big bonus is both of them are comfortable playing out from the back. Early days but the signs are positive.
  2. What are your expectations for Ten Hag's first season?

    1. Define style of play 2. Clear out fringe players and those that don't fit with the style of play 3. Promote and develop youth 4. Improve current 1st team players technically, morale and confidence 5. Compete for Top 4 and a good cup run
  3. Florentino Pérez: The saviour of football.

    And Gareth Bale? He might be on loan but he's still a RM player and cost £90M....
  4. Florentino Pérez: The saviour of football.

    Florentino Perez has been claiming poverty and that football can't survive without the ESL. But it is his club, that for decades now, has spent vast amounts of money on player transfers and wages. In 2001 they signed Zidane for a reported fee of around €75M..... at the time the record transfer...
  5. European Super League

    Real Madrid with 13 titles will go down as team winning the Super League the most times.
  6. Our record against the "big six" this season

    I hadn't realised that only Spurs and Arsenal are the only teams to score against us in that list...
  7. Leicester City vs Manchester United

    The best thing VdB has done all game is to leave the ball for Mason. Really sloppy from everyone all over the pitch.
  8. Eden Hazard | "It's time to enjoy life drinking beers"

    How much do you think he's worth now compared to his transfer fee? He's 29 and played 28 games or so for Madrid in 2 years. I think the best they could hope for is to loan him out like Bale.
  9. How many players do we need to sign this summer?

    This depends a lot on who might leave. Cavani Pogba DDG/Henderson If none of the above leave, I'd put a RW and CB as a top priority. I would guess we'll make 1-2 'first team' signings, and a couple of prospects. We signed Amad in January, so hope that doesn't come out of the summer budget.
  10. By this time next week we could be out of all cup competitions

    If by some miracle we do go through both comps this week, can someone please guarantee that we can start another thread of similar ilk about the QF's and SF's? I would hate to see any positivity :wenger:
  11. De Gea's a dad

    Yanay-ted!!
  12. Football phrases that grinds your gears

    "And it's live" As Martin Tyler announces the beginning of the match in front of an empty stadium. Seems to have lost it's meaning during COVID and seems rather dated now.
  13. Amad Diallo signs for Manchester United

    I honestly don't know much about him but looking forward to seeing what he can do. He has competition in Pellestri to get a spot in the squad, who has been impressive for the U23's this season. I wouldn't be surprised if Ole introduces him slowly and he get's the odd game on the bench in the...
  14. Fred - £47m well spent

    I agree with you regarding the sideways passing. It's very noticeable with Fred and Matic, that their first thought is to look forwards with their passing. We were very sideways passing a season or so ago, but gradually they are becoming more progressive. Fred's attitude and energy is superb...
  15. Ed Woodward | Groundhog Day Edition

    I know what you're saying here, but the season kicks off on 12th Sept. All the teams around the top 4 are strengthening, Chelsea especially, and if we're not careful we'll be playing catch up again this season. We need to get players in early, to train with the team, understand Ole's vision...
