Yeah why have a forum at all if not for writing opinions…

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

The best example for a rebuild doesn’t take long would be Conte at Spurs. Last season they were completely gone at the start of the season. The team looked one of the worst in the league. Conte comes in and gets them in top 4 in the very same season they looked shocking. One summer of just buying 4/5 players, people are now saying they are title contenders.
And at which point briefing journos is seen as a private thing? Unless said journos aren't supposed to share the briefing which defeats the point of briefing them.
Fabregas was willing to join depending upon whether he started the season on the bench or not. All were hearing is that De Jong doesn’t fancy United but we’re just not getting it.
Is he allowed to say what he thinks without citing a source or am I missing something? I thought forums were a place where you can express your opinion and others can agree or disagree.
Everyone can be an idiot, petty and/or childish at times. Doctors don't use that type of language is one of the silliest claims I've seen on here.
I’m all for opinions and discussion but those who continue to drop in here to say how humiliating and embarrassing it is dont add anything do they?
Hardly groundbreaking comments
because that 'opinion' has been announced by quite a few people here now. Common.
If you can announce that you have empirical evidence to support string theory then you will have a few more people interested.
This is like watching The Bachelor. Or at least what I think it would be like. Has he given ten Hag a rose?

There’s been a lot of sad posts in this thread, but this one really takes the top prizeTen Hag is just a shiny new toy. He is to blame for poor transfers just as much as you blame everyone else.
Im a doctor btw, my IQ destroys yours
Trying to flex intelligence on RedCafe.
Fair enough. Noted.
He rules out United every couple of days it seems, then has a change of heart and wants to go.
Or, maybe, they haven't really got a clue or are just reporting what Barca tells them to report? I dunno...
ffpolo has been a terrible source throughout this entire saga.
Was really enjoyed and excited to read all the positive comments on here this morning.
Then I realised I had inadvertently jumped 200 pages back.

Would agree with this; however you have to remember that in a way you get the feeling it was Conte who picked Spurs, rather than the other way around. He must have had a good look and thought with Kane and Son up top, I can do something with the rest. Not sure that would have happened at United with our motley crew.
However lets hope ETH has seen something he can salvage at OT.
If you look back the same Spanish sources were saying he didn’t want to move to Chelsea and preferred United a few weeks ago.
It’s all fun and games
"Doctor, what's the prognosis?"There’s been a lot of sad posts in this thread, but this one really takes the top prize

"Brb just owning this Muppet with my superior intellect on a football forum..."
It's all bullshit and crapstirring from Barca.
They want United to panic and pay off de Jongs wages and they're using the Chelsea interest to do so. It'll either work well for them, or it'll backfire big time. Lets wait and see
Didn't Arsenal brief their end their pursuit of signing Martinez when it was found out that he wanted to sign for us over them?
I hope to feck the club are not that fecking daft chasing him if they know he prefers Chelsea
Every Spanish outlet just seems to be following Sport's play book and covering every single permutation possible.
Yeah, I don’t think the sources know anything, it is just the over the top soap opera nature of the whole “saga”. I cannot remember a trade that had this much for so long in recent years.
Can't be wrong in that situation can you?
Time to ban tweets from that dick head romero
This is exactly what happened today except I wasn’t working on a Saturday!
The other guy who flexed his IQ before me gets a free pass.
Friends?? Friends..
Next tweet in a couple of hours: “Frenkie de Jong is warm to the idea of Manchester United”
We are spending with intention of delivering on the pitch. Not waiting on the never ending need time to develop at all. You will see how our players deliver on the pitch.
We aren't far away now from mass Muppet suicide.
Oh, we're still friends I just like the image of you spamming away on a five year old HP keyboard in your office wearing a stethoscope.
I've completely lost hope in it for us and at this point hope he stays pretty much. Couldnt stand seeing him at Chelsea
Keep it together. It’s us or Barcelona.
I'm afraid you're our new shiny toy doctor. I should've used a comma there, right?
Chatting to a superior intellect sure is intimidating.
Calma, we know what we are doing and I have full confidence that we act for what's best for our club.
I mean, wasn’t he the one to break this saga way before anyone?
I refuse to believe Frenkie would turn his back on Ten Hag just like that. If that was the case, the manager would have shot the question down about Frenkie in the presser and said he wasn’t interested in the player if he knew he’s going to Chelsea, instead of him saying if there’s news, the club will bring it
What's in it for ffpolo to just make up something like this, besides the obvious clickbait? It's such a bold statement. If they really are clueless and he ends up joining Man Utd, it would ruin what credibility they have regarding transfers.
Are they just a Barca mouthpiece trying their best to encourage Chelsea to make a bid? How would that even work? Surely Chelsea would already be in contact with FdJ's agent and know full well the situation.
Any media outlet sticking their neck out like this seems pretty conclusive, if for no other reason than I can't understand why they would make it up...
Partially yeah. We could have decided to switch to another player at point, but if the recruitment team were genuinely in with a chance of getting our #1 target and we got pipped at the post, how much blame do you attribute to them?
Anyone put together the FDJ journalist bingo card yet?
