  1. Hypothetical: Would you reject a >£100m offer for Bruno from Saudi? | Same question but £200m?

    Not with the current club administration. Even with EtH, there has been 0 indication that they can spend it well enough. That they have a clear direction of a transfer policy. In Bruno, somehow we got lucky with a player who is willing to wear his heart on the sleeve when he steps on to the...
  2. Protest at Old Trafford

    What we need, and what we will get - is not the same. We won't get to control that (with either of the parties). And we don't just need our debt cleared, we need an upgraded stadium, an upgraded training center. We need a lot of quality in our squad. Most of all we will need a steady hand to...
  3. Protest at Old Trafford

    All the news we've heard about the Ineos bid, is that they can't or have not proposed a full sale. So, a full sale essentially does mean sell to Qatar - there is no take here, unless you are burying your head in sand. So, what do we want - a partial Glazer stake + Ineos, or full state sponsored...
  4. David Moyes West Ham Manager | Gone (pedantic sod Sarni)

    When a bad employee is hired, I always blame the company more than the employee. It is the people in the company who are responsible, to interview and make sure the employee is up to the task. And for a role as prominent as the manager of Manchester United, I do not think Woody and co did due...
  5. Press conference (feat. Pogba) - Anderlecht

    Rooney played well against NYCFC last night, do you think it was a mistake letting him go?
  6. Academy implementing new ideas

    Kind of sounds like, they are not really sure what works and are just trying everything they can think of. Not sure, if that will be helpful or just confuse the kids. But again, I know its not a science and there is no 1 single way to do it, so hopefully they will figure it out.
  7. Phil Jones, change of position or cut our losses ?

    Can't argue about the number of injuries or days lost for both, since I don't have the data. But I would have to disagree about your conclusion of who it affects more. Both the positions need athletic ability and in both the positions if you are intelligent enough you can make up for that with...
  8. Phil Jones, change of position or cut our losses ?

    Not comparing the techincal proficiency of RvP with Jones', but iirc van Persie was always injury prone throughout his career till his breakthrough season. Wenger and the Arsenal coaches never lost hope though. So, I guess its upto our coaches, they would know best what Jone's ceiling is. He has...
  9. Anger RedCafe with one football-related sentence.

    Jonno White is what every true Man Utd fan should aspire to be like
  10. Bringing on a Milner to preserve a lead...

    On the second point, its not as easy as trying to play from goalkick. When the opponent is pressing your backline, and if your defenders are not Barcaesque its easy to get flustered and start running into dead ends and loosing the ball. A simple square pass at the back can be disastrous if...
  11. Summer Transfer Tweets 2016

    Yeah the poor chap wants to win a PL, before quitting Hope he has to stay on for another 15 yrs :D
  12. David De Gea | "I've got 3 more years on my contract with MUFC & the desire to win more titles here"

    He needs a few more titles under his belt, to be considered a legend here People might think that's not how it works and he will be considered one irrespective if he plays with us for another 2-3 years, because he has been so good for us. But there will be no longevity to those claims when...
