I don't want to alleviate personal responsibility but our club doesn't help because our ownership breeds and enables bad behaviour.Why do we always end up with the bad attitude players! Players like that bring the club down and don’t care about winning things!
Time to put these prima donnas on commission heavy remuneration.Why do we always end up with the bad attitude players! Players like that bring the club down and don’t care about winning things!
Changing managers frequently and giving all the players "clean-slates" every time doesn't help.Why do we always end up with the bad attitude players! Players like that bring the club down and don’t care about winning things!
Mbappé, Haaland, Enzo Fernandez... I think it's the reality of where the business is at now. Sancho did look almost quite that level at BVB, at least superficially.In terms of Sancho himself, In what world do you pay a 21 year old footballer 350k a week, especially one who wasn't exactly world class, good? Sure, but Messi and Ronaldo weren't earning this at 21.
He was comfortably on that level, and the price was perfectly fair for him.Mbappé, Haaland, Enzo Fernandez... I think it's the reality of where the business is at now. Sancho did look almost quite that level at BVB, at least superficially.
Exactly right. I thought he'd be absolutely brilliant here but he's lacking the drive to be the player we hoped. A shame (particularly as my city mate, who I rinsed when we got Sancho from Dortmund, is not letting me forget it).He was comfortably on that level, and the price was perfectly fair for him.
But if a player doesn't give a feck, it doesn't matter how naturally gifted he is. I've been a big Sancho fan and have advocated for him playing often, but I assume everything that's coming out is pretty true and in that case he can feck off for good.
I mean imagine having to fecking resort to telling a grown man to be there an hour before the actual time just so he'll show up on time!
You can change managers frequently without giving players clean slates. Other clubs do it all the time. Of course, that would require having an actual structure to the club beyond "delegate all footballing decisions to the manager".Changing managers frequently and giving all the players "clean-slates" every time doesn't help.
Both were a waste of space and toxic to building a team which fights for each other. Basically coasters who only want to be on the pitch where things are going well.Is he worst signing than Pogba? At least Pogba would still deliver something like a month per year, or something. Sancho has been consistently shite this whole time and giving us this shite attitude.
As of now, miles worse. Pogba went through phases of being excellent.Is he worst signing than Pogba? At least Pogba would still deliver something like a month per year, or something. Sancho has been consistently shite this whole time and giving us this shite attitude.
Mkhi at least did well in our EL winning campaign, and we moved on from him pretty quickly when it became clear it wasn't working out. No hard feelings there.He's on the same level as Myhikiytaryain
Mkhitaryan was a far more successful signing than Sancho. He had one really good season for us and cost a portion of the price.He's on the same level as Myhikiytaryain
I find the whole thing really bizarre. The step up (if that’s the right term) from Bundesliga to Premiership explains some of it, but it can’t only be that.Could never have predicted this trajectory when he was balling for Dortmund.
I expected him to struggle more against PL opposition obviously but I still thought he'd be one of the best wingers in the league
Who else would cover his wages though? I don’t envy Utd here, he must be due £40 or £50m until the end of his contract, I just can’t see him (or any player) giving that upWonder where he'll go. Surely off in January or the summer. If he goes to Saudi ... will say a lot about his priorities
He's gonna have to take a wage cut or sit in the reserves for years and destroy his career.Who else would cover his wages though? I don’t envy Utd here, he must be due £40 or £50m until the end of his contract, I just can’t see him (or any player) giving that up
Mkhi was far cheaper, had several good periods for us, and he never lacked effort or determination, nor did he publicly fall out with anyone.He's on the same level as Myhikiytaryain
For what it’s worth I actually support any young players decision to move to a club like Dortmund or Brighton because that’s the best place for young talents to be nurtured in modern football.
I know Sancho was only 17 at the time, but staying away from your job for two to three weeks without a proper explanation is just childish and unprofessional. He went to Dortmund because that was the easiest way for him to play first team football. No matter what's going on and what the truth is today, he's been a poor player for a long time. So, time to find a new club asap.
Well, OR, Utd will agree to pay half his wages, rather than ALL his wages, for him to go somewhere else. Letting him rot in the reserves is incredibly bad business for Utd, especially with FFP constrainers.He's gonna have to take a wage cut or sit in the reserves for years and destroy his career.
I mean he's as good at football as him. I think that's his top level.Mkhitaryan was a far more successful signing than Sancho. He had one really good season for us and cost a portion of the price.
Mikitheragain?He's on the same level as Myhikiytaryain
Hopefully he cares about his career. But wouldn't be surprised if he decides feck that, make the most money when I can.He's gonna have to take a wage cut or sit in the reserves for years and destroy his career.
The board should play chicken on this one. It's not like the Maguire situation where he's not done anything wrong apart from not being good enough.Well, OR, Utd will agree to pay half his wages, rather than ALL his wages, for him to go somewhere else. Letting him rot in the reserves is incredibly bad business for Utd, especially with FFP constrainers.
The revisionism on Pogba has gotten insane. Sure he didn't reach his ridiculous potential with us but he was quite often our best midfielder when fit even with all of his flaws, and had a couple brilliant seasons. Failure of a signing overall but never the disaster some make it out to be.As of now, miles worse. Pogba went through phases of being excellent.
