Try and keep up, Mahrez used to play for CityHow dare he disrespect Mahrez! Mahrez plays for City, I have zero respect for him.
Agreed, not sure why everyone is overreacting to the comment. He even stated that he doesn't think Antony can be as good as Mahrez, just maybe he can watch him and model him. Tbf though, I saw the podcast not initial comment which everyone reacted to. Here's the one I watched:That's not the way I interpreted it. I've never heard him say Anthony could be as good as Mahrez, more that he should model his game on him, mainly to mix his game up more to go on to his right side the way he does
He had a huge stake at Valencia, went pretty wellNot often I disagree with Gary Neville in fairness, personally I’d be happy if he had a big stake in the club. From a business prospective he’s done very well in life. Lives and breaths United and only has the clubs interest at heart.
Hazard was always just a left winger. Bale, Mane and Sterling spent a fair amount of their careers on the right wing.Don't want to get into a debate with you about a top 5 tbh but the fact that you've had to include players that have played the majority of their time in the prem on the left kinda proves my point that it was a howler of a comparison. You should've included Hazard though if you included Lws.
Add Robben and Kanchelskis for the right ahead of MahrezHazard was always just a left winger. Bale, Mane and Sterling spent a fair amount of their careers on the right wing.
I didn't add Robben as iirc he only played on the left for Chelsea.Add Robben and Kanchelskis for the right ahead of Mahrez
You're having a laugh, right?Kanchelskis I am not sure was actually better than Mahrez.
As someone who watched kanchelskis week in week out I can assure he wasI didn't add Robben as iirc he only played on the left for Chelsea.
Kanchelskis I am not sure was actually better than Mahrez.
Nah. his peak was higher, played to a high standard for much longer and won much more.You're having a laugh, right?
Sadio Mane only played 16/17 as a right winger, all other seasons he was played predominantly as a lw. The only season Bale played as a right winger was his second stint at Spurs in 20/21. He has 17 total appearances in the premier league as a right winger. Sterling has the equivalent of 3 full seasons as a right winger in his whole career.Hazard was always just a left winger. Bale, Mane and Sterling spent a fair amount of their careers on the right wing.
Thought Robben was right sided at Chelsea. With duff on the left.I didn't add Robben as iirc he only played on the left for Chelsea.
Kanchelskis I am not sure was actually better than Mahrez.
He was, fantastic player. Had the ability of others but two footed and lethally quick which was a weapon in itself.I didn't add Robben as iirc he only played on the left for Chelsea.
Kanchelskis I am not sure was actually better than Mahrez.
Have you never made a mistake/s in your life? I’ve never met a person who hasn’t. For me he’d be a great addition as an owner. Obviously opinions differ but we’re all entitled to give them.He had a huge stake at Valencia, went pretty well
I’d have thought they announced it as soon as they were able to. If they had held it back for “PR” reasons* it would almost certainly have been leaked.This dweeb saying what a bad time it was to announce the INEOS thing was funny. Nice 9 day break between games, new year, new start, that meeting that people seem to be positive about, Jan window opening...when else should they have announced it I wonder.
I missed that. Why was he saying it was bad timing?This dweeb saying what a bad time it was to announce the INEOS thing was funny.

Because he's a fecking dweeb.I missed that. Why was he saying it was bad timing?
Only thing I can think of was that it was on a Sunday on Christmas Eve so much of the media could not really scrutinise it.
Yeah but what was his rationale?
EDIT: I had a look. He didn't even say why he just threw it out there like everyone would agree.

It’s like he’s reading out a transcript from the match day thread.He’s the fecking worst when it comes to commentating on Utd games. Such a negative bastard all the time. You’d think we were losing this game if you were only listening to him droning on.
Always liked Gary.He's now claiming Spurs when they get their players back can be better than Arsenal and Pool.
Last year they had Kane and were practically midtable. I think most commentators get their minds wiped every summer because I think he's basing that on the start of the season.He's now claiming Spurs when they get their players back can be better than Arsenal and Pool.
Better than Arsenal is hardly a controversial opinion.He's now claiming Spurs when they get their players back can be better than Arsenal and Pool.
He seems to be falling into the pundit trap of always needing an attention seeking opinion. No middle ground, only extremes.He's now claiming Spurs when they get their players back can be better than Arsenal and Pool.
Well, strange that it needs saying but you expect a bit more from someone who's being paid to commentate on the game than from the average poster in the match day thread. To be honest I'd prefer they didn't have ex players commentating on their own team. It doesn't add anything of value imo.At the end of the day Gary Neville is a United fan. And his commentary might be unbearably negative but it’s not even close to being as unbearably negative as most of the United fans on this website. Particularly in a match day thread. So it’s a bit rich to see his negativity being criticised by redcafe members.
Oh I agree with that. I don’t like his commentary on our games just like I loathe our match-day threads on here. Just think the similarities between the two are obvious.Well, strange that it needs saying but you expect a bit more from someone who's being paid to commentate on the game than from the average poster in the match day thread.
