RAWK Goes Into Meltdown 2016-17 Edition

[Shark]

Just read this on RAWK regarding us.
Yep, we never learn do we? we continue to buy the worlds top talents, while they continue to shop at the fish markets.

Like I said, a striker and a winger who don't defend, a young and raw central defender, and an undisciplined midfielder for a world record transfer fee, managed by Mourinho. You will never learn.

 

[montpelier]

We. Are. NotLearning.

 

[Ban]

If only we'd learn like Liverpool and sign a 30 year old Estonian CB.

But hey, they have Klopp!

And it seems they're experts on Mou's style too.

Plus a striker who doesn't smile, a fullback who cant keep his leg in one piece. We are fecked

It doesn't really matter (who they sign). Their manager is Jose Mourinho, and we all know how this will end.

I can already feel the doubt. So much money spent, yet you get a Frankenstein team. Must be terrifying for you. You could have got Guardiola, Conte or Simeone, yet you end up with this terrible experiment. Long may it continue.

Pogbas a brilliant signing.

Jks theyre shit and theyre going to be torn from the inside out by Mourinho. Also Manchester is a shit place to shop.

I lived in Italy last year due to work commitments and I can tell you that Serie A is a low quality league. Furthermore, Juventus are basically the only team in the division. They just win every week easily. If Pogba goes to United it's a totally different prospect to playing in a league with no competition. I've never been blown away watching him. I'm saying that without bias as well. I was looking forward to seeing if he would play a big role at the Euros and I was bitterly disappointed.

I don't know what player you have watched, but Mkhitaryan's defensive contribution is poor. Nowhere near the level Mourinho demands from his wingers. So, you have another elephant in the room there.

They forget he concept of their favourite "Net Spend" when talking about United's spending

So, signing Pogba would take Manchester United's spending on transfer fees close to £500 million since Ferguson retired 3 years ago. Take into account the agent fees, signing on fees for players and loan fees, and it is probably closer to £600 million. They have the highest wage bill in the league that just went higher with the massive wages for their new signings. And they are still not certain of finishing in the top 4 this season. I love watching this car crash.

 

[the unknown one.]

But they have Klopp.

He turns sows ears into silk purses.

Jose does the opposite .

 

[Vanrouge]

I think I channeled my inner Scouser too well, because ever since writing that I feel like I've been clearing phlegm out of my throat. If I have an erotic dream about Rafa, somebody kill me.

 

[Zlaatan]

I love how us signing Zlatan, Mhiki and Pogba and having Mourinho as a coach is being seen as something negative. They would wank themselves silly over any of those guys (prior of the arrival of Sir Klopp obviously..).

Also, apparently as long as you're not playing at Anfield and don't have Klopp as your manager you might as well not even try to win anything, because you can't.

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

The same "car crash" where United finished above them 2 out of 3 seasons and won the FA Cup, compared to Liverpool's bottle job and then two seasons of nothingness, winning only once in the last 6 meetings against us?

Ok then. You keep enjoying that.

 

[ChaddyP]

we could have signed Jesus as the manager they would find a way to spin it

 

[Jippy]

They forget he concept of their favourite "Net Spend" when talking about United's spending

Playing devil's advocate, the net spend post-Fergie is eye-watering tbf.

 

[BennyBlanco]

They've got Klopp? Don't you know?

Their squad is shit? It's alright, we've got Klopp..
Their singings are underwheling? It's alright, we've got Klopp..
Man Utd signing Pogba? It's alright we've got Klopp..
They've finished 7th, 6th, 8th, 7th, 6th, 8th in the last 7 seasons? Stay calm, we've got Klopp!

 

[DatIrishFella]

The insecurity amongst some of them is oozing out of my screen. Jesus.

 

[Olly Gunnar Solskjær]

It's funny watching certain posters so utterly biased like PeterTheRed and 4pool trying to spin everything into a negative.

they were wanking themselves silly over Balotelli

I guess all them defensive stats are misleading when it comes to Mkhi?

 

[Barbara Charles]

"Manchester is a shit place to shop".

WTF

Meanwhile Liverpool seems like Heaven on Earth:

Like scousers would know anything about paying for goods.

 

[Adisa]

We have Klopp
They are worried.

 

[Red Bug]

That 4pool fella is the most bitter, deluded and jealous of all the RAWK folk. He insisted that Mhiki wasn't coming here. A week later he's a Utd player!

 

[DJ Jeff]

Which stats?

Gotta love them trying to inflate the Pogba fee. I reckon they have him down as football's first £500m deal now.

Yep, saw all that. Great outcome

 

[Chesterlestreet]

I like that they keep up the good old practice of posting false (and bizarre) anecdotal "evidence" to back up their points: "I went to Italy last year, and I can confirm that Serie A is shite."

You have to travel to Italy in order to know anything about Serie A.

 

[Solius]

I like how one of them described Zlatan as a forward who doesn't defend. If only we had someone like Dirk Kuyt instead.

It's like saying that new keeper they've bought doesn't attack enough.

 

[Bwuk]

Must be frustrating to be Liverpool fan at the moment.

Both clubs went for top managers after previous (Rodgers, LvG) reigns.

Jose comes in, automatically sorts out our weaknesses and tries to get big name proven talents in to plug the gaps (bar Bailly).

Klopp has faffed around a bit, given new contracts to the likes of Mignolet etc. I think they have a decent squad, but if Mane is the marque signing this year they'll need a lot of luck going there way to get top 4.

Being criticised for signing a striker who doesn't defend....

A striker..... When you have to stretch that far to criticise your rivals why even bother

 

[Ban]

We should have signed a defensive striker tbh.

 

[DatIrishFella]

PeterTheRed, you can tell behind all the false bravado he's absolutely fuming that United have signed/signing top class talent. Regardless if you think whomever is a cnut.

 

[Earthquake]

Rooney does that.

 

[baanke laal]

you still feel the need to come to a Liverpool forum and convince us about the quality of your signings. I must admit, I love your insecurity since Ferguson retired. You know that you are going down and that we are going up, and you can't do anything about it.

I love that Mourinho is at Manchester United. The damage he can do there is amazing.

No mate, I am really enjoying it.

I love watching you make the last roll of the dice, with no hope of winning the hand

 

[Hammerfell]

They're in some serious denial, aren't they?

 

[BennyBlanco]

PeterTheRed in particular seems an impartial individual.

 

[Revan]

Does RAWK have a thread akin to our serious Liverpool discussion? Would be interesting to see what they actually think of our upcoming season.

They have one, but it doesn't get used much. Moyes and Van Gaal (and now Mourinho) threads were made as let's laugh at United threads, and mods always say to post serious stuff in United thread, but everything United related goes on those threads.

Which makes discussions impossible considering that half of the posts are boring gis, with the other half boring posts, and with the occasional funny joke (mostly some posters to Cantona and vice versa). And of course, some posts from jonno about the good old days in 1349 when he supported United by being amazed and praising Liverpool.

I tried a bit but left them (although have still an active account and at times look there).

 

[AltiUn]

PeterTheRed in particular seems an impartial individual.

You can tell he has affection for us really, he's just like a shy high school lad insulting the girl he likes to hide his feelings.

 

[SteveJ]

Damn. We should've rolled the cards instead. Or dealt the dice.

 

[Solius]

Yeah I dunno what f*cked up game he's playing.

 

[dwd]

Probably something really shite like Dungeons & Dragons. Liverpool are top of the pack and have just rolled a double six 5 times.

Too many store detectives.

 

[MThomas]

Pogba won't improve us, it seems

Quote from: PeterTheRed on Today at 12:19:54 AM
I am genuinely curious, how will he improve their midfield? He doesn't have the discipline to play in the midfield 2 in Mourinho's setup. So, he will probably use him as a No10. Which means their £300,000 per week captain moving to the bench. It should be fun.
