Scott McTominay | Napoli

Some reports in the papers suggest that Napoli are trying to really clamp down on Scott’s diet. It does seem that players are allowed to get away with dodgy diets at United. His new/former teammate Lukaku is case in point, as he admitted to being under a much stricter regime when he went to Inter.

McTominay always looked super lean to me but I’m a slob who eats too many takeaways and not a professional athlete where fine margins in conditioning can prove pivotal.
He shouldn't play for the national team again if he doesn't tell Napoli to get fecked before downing a bottle of the bru and smashing a haggis, neeps and tatties combo
 
So the Italians invented the haggis supper?
Yes, because it's one of the good ones. We invented the king rib which recently changed its recipe after Covid so it tastes even more like vomit.
 
Glad he is doing well at his new club.
He will probably do better there than he did in England given the slower pace of the League.
 
Eriksen has scored more than he has and is better with the ball.

Not that they should be compared (they play in different positions for a start), but McT will almost certainly score more goals this season then Eriksen will for us.

Think in all comps McT will easily get double figures.
 
All you mofos who wanted him gone will regret it as much as releasing Blind and all the other solid squad fillers we ve let go. Could have used some of his energy and pride for the badge against Twente.

Scotty fanclub will never die.
Fecking right. On Blind too.

Now I know who to thank :drool:
 
Good play from both our ex players, nicely held run from McTom.

This isn't quite true.

Napoli has any foreign player at risk of gaining weight due to the food available in and around Naples, Gilmour is the same.
Conte also has Lukaku change his diet at Inter due to Lukaku bulking up whilst on international duty (again not United).

This has absolutely nothing to do with diets at United.
 
An assist tonight for McSauce.

Not seen it yet but absolutely no-one can tell me selling him was a smart move. I'd rather him than Zirkzee any day of the week.

Wasn't really an assist, he had his shot blocked and it fell to Kvarat...

However yes, based on early evidence so far, McT is a miles better footballer then Zirkzee... Guess we'll have to give it more time.
 
The frustrating part about the fandom when it comes to guys like McT is that there was a large section of our fanbase who only every wanted to talk about the things he does poorly and either ignored or refused to give him credit for the elements of his game that are quite useful.

I was so happy to see the back of him as a rival. Really good player with a knack of ruining games for opposing teams.
 
He's had a decent first half, is playing very high almost in a 2 with lukaku but as rom drifts wide he's often the guy in the middle looking for the cross or cut back. Conte clearly wants goals from him

Buddy, please stop it! McT and Zirkee are not mutually exclusive to be manutd players. Zirkee is a good buy and time will tell.
I do agree with you we should not sell McT. But I am glad for McT to join Napoli because he can win Series A title there, probably this season.
 
Almost got a goal, his shot was blocked and then the ball ricocheted to a Napoli plaer for a goal.
 
I know we're shit, but spare us the wistful longing for McTominay. Getting rid of a limited player who got about 200 more games for us than he would have done at any of the better run big clubs in the league isn't a bad decision.

You lot would probably be pining for AWB back as well if West Ham weren't even worse than us.

This. McTominay was ultimately pants.
 
Mistake selling him, he was actually our best chance of a bloody goal!!

Welcome to agenda, sorry, RedCafe. This is how this place works. Because we're shite, it'll automatically elevate how good our ex-players and managers were.

Riddle me this - we bought Zirkzee after looking good in which league and what is this leagues connection with McTominay right now?
 
It’s baffling people pine over these players we let go and suddenly they are world beaters. He was never good enough, hopefully he does well at Napoli but he was rightfully sold and should have been shipped out a long time ago.
 
Ahh brilliantly predictable cafe, never change.

Bitch whinged for years, then suddenly he was the answer all along!
 
Didn't we go through the same thing with Fred? Moaned about him for ages and then missed him when he went.

I think it's more to do with how shit we are at recruitment, than how good mctominay is. If we actually knew how to sign a good player we wouldn't miss any of the mediocrity we sell
 
Great assist today.

Napoli played against the worst team in Seria A and he completed 17 passes in 90 minutes with no chances created. It's exactly what you need from your number 10 at a big club.
 
I asked when he left how we’d replace his goals from midfield and was of course ridiculed. I’m still asking…..
 
He'll probably be great for Napoli and I'm delighted that's the case. But please we've got so many problems, forget McTominay.

Great assist? He had his shot blocked and it fell to Kvar... who took advantage. I'm thinking maybe this is sarcasm?

It is, making fun that this is considered an assist more than anything else.

McTominay suits Conte's boring 3-5-2 in Seria A but he's the last player I want to watch in that 2nd striker/no.10 role.
 
Lots of praise for McT since he went to Napoli but I don't see it. He's still the same limited player who puts in the odd good timed tackle but in general his pressing and attacking is completely limited
 
He wasn't that good today, he was okay.
