In the latest edition of the United Hour Podcast, we interview Duncan Drasdo of MUST - covering ticket prices, new stadium, INEOS and what fans should be demanding from our club.
Also, due to technical issues we couldn't put a notice up for the previous episode which was about the game against Bournemouth and other stuff. If you'd like to listen to it, click here.
Yes the Mainoo witch hunt
Yes, the context which is it being posted just after Amorim was sacked.
Families are hive minds don't you know?
Crazy stuff
Jaysus people really have nothing better to do. Sometimes a picture is just a picture.
She has every reason to have the hump about how her brother has been treated by Amorim. If that is the extent of her putting the boot in over what happened then anyone who takes offence really need to grow thicker skin.
I would have thought the permanently offended could have focussed on her wearing City colours and a necklace which says City anyway?!
Let's just hope it doesn't go down the Garnacho route.
Back on the grass, eh ?
Mainoo Casemiro Bruno in a midfield 3 ?
This. He embodies everything we love about the club. Academy lad with a great attitude. Can’t wait to see him back.
Ruben would have fecking sold him ffs.
Remember his dribbling ability too when fully confident? So nice to watch. Rarely lost the ball.
Why are our players so fecking dumb?
Aye at another club
Like others have said, I'm looking forward to seeing him in the team again. I think some people have massively overblown his ability but hope he features again ASAP.
That's really poor if he has indeed liked that post. What a moron. Didn't think he was like this.
Does this include refusing to sign a new contract with the club unless it's on a hugely inflated wage that would put him among the top earners?
Come on, liking him is one thing, but embodying everything we love about the club? A young player with one or two standout abilities and lots of areas that need improving, who's holding the club to ransom?
This was debunked by athletic I'm quite sure.
It was confirmed by them
Well we know he hasn't signed a new contract, so there's some truth to it at minimum. Can you provide the article or some evidence?
According to this article from the athletic, he was hoping for up to £200k per week.
Do you have the link?
That would be a very lazy trail of thought I believe.
Whitwell said on Paddock he was told this is not the casw
Whitwell said he was told this is not the case.
That is Whitwell's article.
And I posted Whitwells own video.
The article says Mainoo was looking at a big rise *potentially* up to 10x more. He wasn't demanding that as a minimum I'd imagine the agreeable level is some way below, and gives the context in the video that he doesn't see Mainoo as the type to have such a demand to that level. Naturally he'd love to have it so the article makes sense, but it debunks @The Hilton point that it wa a key demand.
The article is from five months after that video you posted.
The ticket. Effing madness that Amorim was blind to what everyone else could easily see. But now Mainoo’s prison guard has been relieved of duty he needs to hit the ground running. Mount is direct competition for a midfield spot and on his day Mount is more than decent.
Ah fair enough then, I retract.
200k is way too much, I don't quite believe he's holding out for that as a minimum. It's a wording that's vague with "potential"
It doesn't debunk anything mate, come on. It corroborates that Mainoo was looking for a pay rise large enough for the club to baulk at, even if it doesn't name a specific demand. And given that it states up to 10x more, suggests a number around there was flagged, unless you're suggesting the article pulls it from thin air (in which case the article shouldn't be trusted as confirmation either way).
The video is before the article but Whitwells view that it's about perspective and he doesn't see Mainoo as the character to demand that is telling.
I think his agents or people around him are representing him poorly if it's true. These things can be ironed out.
Fairly sure we tried that a bunch of times under ETH? Back when everyone was complaining about our “donut midfield”
I guess it's a stating point, the article says something about Casemiro being on 350k which I guess is his way of justifying that request.
I think 100k max because he simply hasn't shown the ability to stay fit consistently and to be honest there are questions about whether his skillset is good enough.
I think they gave Garnacho something like 70k when he signed his last deal and that's probably fair IMO.
We know that to be true don't we. He's surrounded by idiots it seems.
Surely we’ve seen this midfield before, under ETH?
Has it got enough legs?
Tomayto tomato, but that was Bruno as a 10. In a more midfield oriented role a la 4-3-3 it might work a bit better. Might.
