Watched the match. Getefe changed their approach when benefitted greenwood when he came on. But still a bit narrow for his style of play
He is/was an incredible talent but nowhere near the level for Madrid to have even considered making a move for him back then.
Think it’s clear you are underrating his talent to be honest.
Greenwood has been loaned out and by all accounts support has been provided to the alleged victim and Greenwood off the field.
How many talented academy players from the last 20 years have fulfilled their potential with us?
Think your black and white heavily biased comment says more about you than those who are interested in how he does... If you want to lump everyone together into one group because they don't have the same opinion as you then fair enough, keep banging the drum though
Honestly you’d be surprised. They’re a weird bunch, maybe not a massive amount, but they do certainly existence. Twitter is cesspit and you can find them on there.
I actually dont want him back.
I actually think its quite interesting from a football perspective as well. An elite level talent who hasn't played for nearly 2 years, seeing whether he can get back to the level he was, let alone even still make it in a top league.
I’m not sure why you’ve taken issue with Sizzling’s post, I thought you stated that you want him back at your club?
What is?
The language you're using.
Sorry - what are you on about? What language?
Who's condemning him? The public - as evidenced in this thread.
He said he didn't do it. It's not really a question of repentance.
Ah there are idiots on both sides of every argument. It's absurd to base your stance as a response to them.
No arguments there - was referring specifically to the group of people I mentioned
In my personal experience when you argue against the lunatic fringe you just look like a mirror image of their lunacy. It's lose lose. Because they don't respond to logic anyway.
Usually yes, but as you explained yourself, just in this instance we'll contain all the madness in one place.
There seemed to be an expectation that he would be completely not match fit after 19 months away. He looked more like a player returning from a few weeks off due to injury than someone out of the game for nearly 2 years. I would expect him back in good form once he settles in and integrates into their tactics.
Have a feeling he’ll be back in a United shirt next season.
I can only see it happening after he is cleared in the court of public opinion. Which I would not rule out happening over the next year
Would suggest it will never happen. The court of public opinion has actually seen and heard the evidence, which is pretty damning and uncomfortable stuff. If these were just allegations without the evidence, he’d be playing for you now.
I would imagine that a vast majority of those who follow United want him back. A significant majority of those who follow United are based in Asia, Africa, the US, where this issue isn't on the radar at all. They simply want to see United win and see him as a needed component of that process.
Seriously? You're actually arguing that people based in Asia, Africa, the US care less about allegations of rape and domestic assault that people based in Europe? That's a hell of a hot take, I'll give you that.
Being away for so long has made people overrate him to the heavens on here, iirc his last season at the club before the suspension he wasn't showing much growth if any, Madrid have better talents than him in Rodrygo, Vinicius and possibly Endrick, while also more than likely Mbappe, maybe Barca? but he doesn't strike me as a Barca type player at all.
Growth is never linear, only players like Messi shows insane linear growth
the us elected trump, and probably will do again.
If you look at the broader online sentiment (beyond the loud but narrow ecosystem of British podcasters and activists) there is little support to not have him return. The friendly reception he's received in Spain only reinforces this.
The opposition fans loudly chanting “Die Greenwood, Die” in unison?
Oppo fans also throw coins and banana peels at players. This is par for the course among a very small subsection of fans in specific countries. The reception he has received by his loan club seems to be overwhelmingly positive.
