He was on the verge of signing for Liverpool. Thankfully picked Dortmund!I remember when he was linked to Arsenal. There were reports that it was a done deal too. I'm glad we got him.

The thing that Mou took longest to realise was Carrick. Partnering him with Herrera and getting Pogba further up the pitch had got the team motoring. Miki was probably managed in the correct way considering its his first season and he picked up an injury. He really is an awesome player and we got a deal from Dortmund.Hahaha yeah that was me.
I didnt even know what he meant by labelling me ".... another Mad Winger" until I googled it.
At the risk of annoying more people, I feel pretty sure this would be the case.
And officially, the only change Jose is responsible for is getting Mkhi into the weight room to add some muscle (a reported 4kg increase) to his frame.
Its been a positive move as he's obviously stronger on the ball and now rarely loses possession, whilst still maintaining his speed and endurance that he was known for. So a thumbs up to Jose for that.
But, I still feel that he could and should have played many more games regardless of his weight. I say this because the players chosen ahead of him game after game weren't giving us much.
An underweight and perhaps inconsistant Mkhi would still have given us a few moments of brilliance to affect a game, not to mention a few assists.
Yeah Lingard best attribute is his movement, although his technique is not bad, it's pretty solid IMO, it's just Mikhi has so much more to offerLingard tends to drift in and out of matches. Miki is at the heart of eveything when hes on
That shit makes people crazy.. Kanye even got institutionalized.. Our Miki deserves so much better..Kanye should hook him up with a Kardashian of choice for Christmas, Mkhi's been a good boy.
When Miki is on he is unplayable. Opposition defenders must brick themselves everytime he picks up the ball.Yeah Lingard best attribute is his movement, although his technique is not bad, it's pretty solid IMO, it's just Mikhi has so much more to offer
Exactly.This is why @Schmiznurf and I were bitching in newbies when he wasn't playing or getting on the bench.
Lad's world class last few seasons.
Was a great moment to be stood there for sure.Also I was in the stretty yesterday. The reaction when he went over to take a corner was one that I haven't heard since Ronaldo in his peak. That mix of respect, admiration and expectation. Was good seeing him acknowledge it too.
Yes, ive been watching the highlights but cant see that moment. that was greatAlso I was in the stretty yesterday.

Only about 5 foot 10, I think.He's absolutely immense, isn't he?
Already getting a Ronaldo type applause after only 10 or so games is prematureWas a great moment to be stood there for sure.
Did you not see the applause Ronaldo got on his debut? that's one game in. Theres no such thing as being premature when it comes to showing appreciation for a player.Already getting a Ronaldo type applause after only 10 or so games is premature
But the noise when he scored was nothing like I've heard before, it was not the usual noise after a goal, it was like a screech because of the style of the goal
He's our best player
Its not for sure Rooney will leave. Its going to be a hell of a transfer window in the summer again. We are going all in for Griezmann and I think its going to happen. We are already deep in negotiations.Maybe Mikki can get the #10 when Rooney leaves at the end of this season.

We've had to put up with watching some proper rubbish players in our team over the last few seasons. A player like Mkhitaryan is understandably going to get fans excited.Already getting a Ronaldo type applause after only 10 or so games is premature

I really hope we don't switch to 4231 (it's something Jose really prefers). Current system is where we can get the most out of Pogba. But hearing that he's after Bakayoko (destroyer type to replace Carrick) and Griezmann it looks like we might. Pogba would be playing in 2 man midfield with Bakayoko covering for him and Griezmann in #10/SS. Not sure that's the best idea, that didn't work that well for France on Euros...Pogba was so limited playing further back. Building around Pogba is way to go, we need to bring players to accommodate him, not other way around. Griezmann could play what Martial is playing now (LW drifting inside), and play it better (he played that at Sociedad)...but what happens with Martial then? Cover for both Griezmann and Ibra? Ibra will be 36 next year after all, we can't expect him to play as much as he is right now. And (hopefully) we'll play CL, which means more high level/intensity games to play...Martial to slot at CF with Ibra fading in that case.From all reports I'd actually be surprised if Griezmann doesn't join us this summer.
My only concern is where Jose will put him as he is best as the SS
I haven't heard anything about Rooney leaving, but I believe it's in his best interests to do so.
You're the best.Its not for sure Rooney will leave. Its going to be a hell of a transfer window in the summer again. We are going all in for Griezmann and I think its going to happen. We are already deep in negotiations.
You know something we don't?Its not for sure Rooney will leave. Its going to be a hell of a transfer window in the summer again. We are going all in for Griezmann and I think its going to happen. We are already deep in negotiations.
He certainly likes to think so.You know something we don't?
That's good enough for meHe certainly likes to think so.
He has a personal line to every important person at old Trafford. Either that or he's guessed correct on two incredibly highly publicised transfers. Hard to tell which.You know something we don't?
In seriousness, he was early and very sure about Pogba and his claim to insider knowledge is plausible enough. If he gets Greizmann right I might just start to believe.That's good enough for me
You're still in the Mkhi thread. He is more of a second striker yes but can also play up top, more as like a false 9 than anything else. If we had him mkhi martial and ibra next season we would need a complete destroyer to compliment pogba in the middle.I rate him very highly and have for a long time, but where would we play him, assuming we'll continue with the 4-3-3? He's more of a second striker, no?
Right, apologies.You're still in the Mkhi thread. He is more of a second striker yes but can also play up top, more as like a false 9 than anything else. If we had him mkhi martial and ibra next season we would need a complete destroyer to compliment pogba in the middle.

Bale?
And the transfer he was most certain about? Gareth Bale! An attentionseeker, that is all.
It'd be more believable if he pulled a player out of the blue, not one that everyone knew about. Anyone can tell with some degree of certainty we are after Griezmann, it's been going around in some form for months now.In seriousness, he was early and very sure about Pogba and his claim to insider knowledge is plausible enough. If he gets Greizmann right I might just start to believe.
I think I got everyone but Bailly Didnt hear anything on that thoughHe has a personal line to every important person at old Trafford. Either that or he's guessed correct on two incredibly highly publicised transfers. Hard to tell which.
Why do you pretend to be "ITK"? Why lie for attention? You don't feel weird about it? Me, you and most others with half a brain know that you do not have information other than the one the media provides you (that is clueless until briefed) about Man Utd-transfer.Bale?
I love that you care mate it dont make me feel weird at all, its glorious. That said, I actually know shitWhy do you pretend to be "ITK"? Why lie for attention? You don't feel weird about it?
