SparkedIntoLife's latest activity

  • It makes all the sense in the world to have this guy and a younger challenger as our ‘right centre back’ options next season. Whether that RCD is Kambwala or someone like Anselmino, Tosin is a good, free homegrown option to help an eventual...
  • These are fan made, I believe. Very well done though.
  • SparkedIntoLife replied to the thread Kim Min-Jae.
    Most of those Napoli stars of last season have looked a shadow of themselves this season - Kim, Kvara, Osimhen... I think Spalletti was a big reason why they performed so well.
  • The draft was fairly pointless. Most of the picks seemed to be people staying on the same brand.
  • One can see how the club didn't trust his intentions to dispose of certain players when he let Salah and De Bruyne slip through the cracks. History has proven Jose right with Martial and slightly wrong about Shaw I suppose. But history has also...
  • SparkedIntoLife replied to the thread Victor Gyökeres.
    I work in Coventry and have several Cov supporting friends. The general view seems to be that he was not great for a year or two but got a lot better under Robins'/Viveash's coaching. It seems to be the case with Ellis Simms and Haji Wright this...
  • It’s very early to say but the indications are that this guy is one of the surest things coming out of Brazil in years. Normally I’d advocate his signing 100% in line with Radcliffe’s comments about finding the next Mbappe rather than buying the...
  • SparkedIntoLife replied to the thread Thiago Motta - Bologna.
    Come on guys, this is super boring. Can't you take the argument to PMs and stop clogging up the thread? Back to Motta... anyone actually watch Bologna regularly here? Currently nil nil with Frosinone with 10 mins to play. They're not a high...
  • SparkedIntoLife replied to the thread Thiago Motta - Bologna.
    You seem very knowledgeable and express yourself well. So please hear the following as me trying to engage for the benefit of my knowledge rather than being argumentative. In terms of this perspective, I'd agree that the data on Motta is...
  • SparkedIntoLife replied to the thread Who replaces Ten Hag?.
    Ratcliffe has said that the likes of Berrada, Ashworth and Wilcox will decide our club DNA (or whatever you want to call it) and every strategic decision will flow from there. For me, this makes sense as long as we're not wedded to something too...
  • SparkedIntoLife replied to the thread Max Kilman.
    Looked on a couple of Wolves forums and they seem quite happy at this prospect. They seem to think 30/40m would be a good deal for them.
  • SparkedIntoLife replied to the thread Max Kilman.
    He is good and keeps threatening to be great but never seems to get there consistently. I think if we’re looking at a left footed English centre back to challenge Martinez, we could find better value in Jacob Greaves of Hull.
  • SparkedIntoLife replied to the thread Thiago Motta - Bologna.
    He's very interesting. I think a lot of the other candidates play 3 at the back and maybe that's not quite United. Motta is tactically sophisticated, has big room for growth and has presence. I'm aware he speaks several languages but is English...
  • I totally hear that. The only thing I wonder is whether there will also be someone as DOF of INEOS’ multi-club model. Say, for instance, City weren’t budging on Omar Berrada. We probably would’ve had Blanc cover him but, from what it seems...
  • James from The Muppetiers was suggesting that United are exploring other (temporary) options. The implication, from what I could tell, was that we'd look to bring in an older transfer-focused DoF type as a stop-gap for when Ashworth would be...
