He's only talking about strikers, and as it stands we've not even made oneI understand pessimism sells but why pretend we are only making one signing this summer?
I mean I'm not sure doubling (or tripling) down on the number of cnuts you have at the club is a good idea from a PR perspective. It then becomes less about the individual and more about the club.I reckon this is because they expect Greenwood back at some point this season, I hear some rumours it's going to be pushed under the carpet being "role play".
So if he's coming back mid season, why not have a bigger cnut to take the spotlight off him for a couple of months
If that were to happen I'd be done with this club. No exaggeration, it'd be too muchI reckon this is because they expect Greenwood back at some point this season, I hear some rumours it's going to be pushed under the carpet being "role play".

But one of those is a 38 year old and the other a crock. There's a good choice he'd see a lot of minutes.He would be brought in as a 3rd choice striker (behind Ronaldo & Martial) - would he really be that bad?
My only concern is, are the extra few goals worth bringing that personality into the dressing room?
Even ignoring the obvious morality issues of this, surely he can’t ever be the same player again? Purely from a football point of view, I mean.I reckon this is because they expect Greenwood back at some point this season, I hear some rumours it's going to be pushed under the carpet being "role play".

He's not been out that long, and in theory could have stayed fit by himself, opposed to suffering a long injury, for example. It was a crucial stage in his development, so that could be an issue, but just the time spent out of the game shouldn't be that problematicEven ignoring the obvious morality issues of this, surely he can’t ever be the same player again? Purely from a football point of view, I mean.
If he does come back, I doubt if he is match fit --- away from the game for so long. I suspect that he would be loaned out to ease him into it and get match sharpness back again -- plus let the United fans get used to him playing again.I reckon this is because they expect Greenwood back at some point this season, I hear some rumours it's going to be pushed under the carpet being "role play".

That'll never happened - and rightly so.If he does come back, I doubt if he is match fit --- away from the game for so long. I suspect that he would be loaned out to ease him into it and get match sharpness back again -- plus let the United fans get used to him playing again.

Whitwell has been the main insider this summer so for him to go against the club in such a manner just says it all.Tweet

I heard it on some United podcast last week -- cant remember who mentioned it, Laurie or one of the United journos. Wasnt some fan-based podcast.Intresting.
Where did hear that?
Would be fairly big if that came from LaurieI heard it on some United podcast last week -- cant remember who mentioned it, Laurie or one of the United journos. Wasnt some fan-based podcast.
You will be surprised what people are like in desperate times. But a loan would make the most sense.That'll never happened - and rightly so.
It didn't really surprise me -- he is a 100+million quid asset. You don't just throw that away.Would be fairly big if that came from Laurie
Maybe it's just better to make a heel turn as a club? Play up being the villain - the Lazio of English football.I mean I'm not sure doubling (or tripling) down on the number of cnuts you have at the club is a good idea from a PR perspective. It then becomes less about the individual and more about the club.
We should be absolutely nowhere near this and whoever suggested it needs to give their head a serious wobble.
No. Terminating the scumbags contract would make the most senseYou will be surprised what people are like in desperate times. But a loan would make the most sense.
I'm thinking similarly, I'm very torn on this, though. Football fans in general are idiots and will quickly forget, the dude at Arsenal barely got a mention the other day, but would we as fans really want that at United?It didn't really surprise me -- he is a 100+million quid asset.

I don't believe this is true. If Laurie Whitwell had reported that Manchester United expect Mason Greenwood to return, that news would have spread like wildfire. I think you've muddled up where you get your info from.I heard it on some United podcast last week -- cant remember who mentioned it, Laurie or one of the United journos.

Humans love forgiving and redemption. 90% of Hollywood movies are based on that theme.I'm thinking similarly, I'm very torn on this, though.

Anyway, think we're derailing this cnuts thread with stories about another cnut
Nobody dares to touch the subject matter since its a legal issue. It was mentioned in passing when someone asked the journo what he thought was going to happen to Mason. Its either one or two of a United podcast that I subscribe to.I don't believe this is true. If Laurie Whitwell had reported that Manchester United expect Mason Greenwood to return, that news would have spread like wildfire. I think you've muddled up where you get your info from.
Greenwood won’t play for this club again, everyman and his dog knows that. We’re not like certain other clubs who would player characters like that. I’m looking at you north london.I reckon this is because they expect Greenwood back at some point this season, I hear some rumours it's going to be pushed under the carpet being "role play".

All will be forgotten by you maybe. Not by those of us who have principlesHumans love forgiving and redemption. 90% of Hollywood movies are based on that theme.
United will run a PR campaign to soften his image and he will come on MUTV and beg for forgiveness and letting down the parents, the girl and most of all the United family incl the fans.
Then go on loan for a season or so -- and you will see him donate his time to the NGOs for abuse victims/spouses etc. That will be in his IG, newspapers etc.
Then in 18months time, he makes his 2nd debut for United.
He will be barely 22 then. And when he scores 20+ goals in his 2nd coming, all will be forgotten.
Now we're really going off rails, but fans still adore George Best, were all about Giggs until he went to prison and willfully ignored the complete Ronaldo/US disaster. Football support is a tribal thingAll will be forgotten by you maybe. Not by those of us who have principles
I can't stand people who are willing to overlook vile, nasty and even criminal behaviour just to support a football club. Which I guess is a fitting thing to be saying in a thread regarding a racist who we may be signing
When you think about it, that 8-2 tonking we dished out had massive consequences for their future. They’d probably have a competent manager now if we hadn’t made them panic buy Arteta.It's all getting bit like that Arteta, Andre Santos, Benayoun, Mertesacker Arsenal window
Plus I was neighbors and tennis/drinks mates with an ex-united/England winger. The stories he used to tell of what went on! They would all be jailed in these current times.Now we're really going off rails, but fans still adore George Best, were all about Giggs until he went to prison and willfully ignored the complete Ronaldo/US disaster.

BarrelReally scraping the barrel now.
Only solution is to throw heaps of dosh at Sesko. Not exactly health for a 19y.o kidReally scraping the barrel now.
Through someone I know in the rags, no one anywhere the level of Laurie or Ornstein. Though, does know some law stuffIntresting.
