He is waiting for Madrid. I'm sure of it.

I actually think in this case it has been an advantage that the club have paid a high fee. Let's say we had paid 10 m. Do you think the manager would have stuck with him for this long without scoring? When a manager spends a large sum of the available funds on a player he sort of have to...

+ United tax so that would be 30m more than yesterday

Varane ain't playing 50 games a season anymore. We will probably get 25-30 games out of him max. We need a replacement

Well question is how much of an upgrade is Sabitzer to Mctominay and do we want to spend money on it? I agree about FDJ but ye we might have to look at someone like Caicedo maybe.

Still think we need a number 6/8 to rotate with Casemiro and or Eriksen. We have too many players who are best in the advanced midfielder role. Bruno, Donny, Mctominay, Fred and Sabitzer. It is 2 too many imo and we should get rid of Donny and either Mctominay or Sabitzer.

Great at shooting and a very aggressive striker. I guess he does remind me a lot of Haaland in many ways. Hard worker in the press as well but not as great in link up play as martial imo.

The sliding tackle that didn't cause any injuries gave a direct red card and free kick. The sliding tackle that actually injured someone wasn't even a foul.

A bit off topic but McTominay gets a lot of stick by the fans and I am always amazed when I see his salary compared to others. Tuanzebe is on the same salary and he never plays where McTominay plays regularly and we never here any complaints from his camp. He might not be a superstar but I do...

Ye I think right now his problem is his decision making, and that is usually what evolves from this age onwards. So hope he comes good. I'm more worried about Elanga. However, he doesn't have the same pricetag on his back so if he doesn't come good it's not as big a problem.

I remember saying something similar back when Robben broke through

20 points is doable but requires we don't get injuries. 18 points is minimum if we want to secure a good position in the top 4 battle before the last part of the season. 22 points or more could see us fight for a top 2 placement.

It would be a stupid rule. I think a team salary cap would be better. So a percentage of the average income over the last 5 years or something like that.

Good question, and the answer is probably no. At least in the 90's you saw a lot more crosses and more teams playing 4-4-2 with a traditional number 9 instead of the inverted wingers you see today. So I believe back then you needed keepers who were good at handling crosses which de Gea isn't.

It has also been my feeling that arsenal and to some extend Tottenham and Newcastle have over performed while Liverpool and United have under performed. Usually these things balances out over a season which is why I still think City will catch Arsenal and Liverpool will reach top 4
