I am going to reply, I am not stronger myself. What I said is not based on my family in the US, it's more on a general consensus. I know I can't prove it, but I am pretty sure I am spot on. People will recognise Manchester United around the world more so than Real Madrid. That's my opinion though and I can be wrong. It's hard to find evidence to generalize this and that's okay, because it's not really important. I promise to stop discussing this now, I think
Because we will be dependant on others scoring goals too?
Kane is in 3rd with 78.
rubbish , none of us know what is going on behind the scene, so long has we get the players we want before the end of the window, all will be good.
Well, to be fair, it wouldn't be like you to make up total horseshit and pass it off as fact.I am going to reply, I am not stronger myself.

He talks a lot, sometimes too much, but can't knock his desire to improve, be best he can and awareness of weaknesses etc.
Great reply that.
Morata will know he has been vastly overpriced and it is Perez's greed that has stopped the lad getting a chance of regular first team football. They will have begged him to lower the asking price, but Perez is so obsessed with Mbappe he is not seeing sense. It would serve him right if Mbappe is a flop and Morata does really well wherever he ends up.
We've have a team full of players whose "overall play" is really good and still had the most draws in the league. Considering this, do you add another striker whose overall play is really good or add someone who can convert the chances?
No we don't.
The russian Subcontinent too have more United Fanbase thanmadrid's or barcelona's
He is at a massive club now, so talk means nothing. He has to produce.
Luakaku likes space , Mourinho likes To counter. Tried and tested formula for consistancy in the league.
cos it affects the performance of the team.
You don't understand Manchester United it seems. Ole Solskjaer scored for us in the 1999 final instead of Gabriel Batistuta.
Martial, Rashford, Zlatan, Pogba, Mata, Mkhitaryan are all players who can be considered to have good "overall playing " abilities at least.

The trends in Asia and Africa are incredibly different. The Premier League really dominates in most parts of Africa but La Liga and even the Serie A have some strong connections in various parts of Asia. The Premier League is still the major player but the two really shouldn't be compared on any level.
Yeah, that interview is actually very reassuring. Immediately makes me more positive about his long-term potential.
Yes we do. In Midfeild and defense.
How many 0-0 draws did we have last season? How many 1-1 draws? How many games we've been on the front foot, created chances and had no one who could convert those?
If he inhibits the play of others, preventing other attacking players from scoring goals, preventing the midfield from retaining the ball and inviting pressure on our defence, then the costs can obviously outweight the benefits.
I don't think Saha created such uproar mainly because he was considered as a cover for new boy Rooney and the goal-machine himself RVN. With Yorke, Teddy and Cole things were pretty different as they were meant to be first teamers. SAF had that troll like behaviour to first go for the top player (Ex Kluivert or Batistuta) only to then settle for the Lidl signing from around the corner. He did make it work though.
That's fecking hilarious.
and what has that got to do with a coach expecting his main striker to do more than just score goals? Even with out struggles last season, were Rashford and Martial not asked to track back?
Bliss was it in that dawn to sign Lukaku,
he's going to be on fire!But that's precisely what I mean by a technicality. We know we're not the biggest when it comes to any metric that actually matters - success, a preferable destination for most players, the stuff that actually relates to football, etc - so using the term in a deliberately literal way in order aggrandize ourselves just seems a tad sad. It's like claiming you're the most popular kid in school 'cos you've got the most Twitter followers whilst the captain of the football teams swans off with the girl to a massive party with all his actual friends.
I remember reading in fergies book that kidd wanted us to sign hartson instead. Yikes! To be fair Yorke didn't last long but he was a brilliant signing for that season especially. Peak yorke and cole were amazing. I fancied us to score against everyone.
On paper, yes, in practice that hasn't been the case. I expect Lukaku to bag a respectable amount of goals for us, but I remain skeptical that his overall play is good enough for a club with aspirations of being the best in Europe (which is what we should be aiming for). I hope he proves me wrong though, or that players like Martial and Mkhi step up their game enough to offset Lukaku's drawbacks (which in fairness we'd need them to do regardless of which striker we bought).
I think Saha came in before we bought Rooney, I know this because I recall him saying in the media we don't need (to buy) Rooney.
Sure, but Real Madrid's history is pretty dark. Certainly nothing to be proud of. While the trophy cabinet is full, there's no denying that there's some ill gotten gains in there.
Paul joyce already has the figure at 90m + rooney. feck Sky, they ran with Jim whites lies yesterday about "no fee agreed" and this morning is backtracking hard with "well its all about legal issues now"
If memory serves me right we bought them in the same period. Even though it might not be the case, it was pretty much written on the wall that Rooney will end up at United. Back then we had a near Bayern like dominance in terms of EPL transfers and very few players would dare turning us down.
