It'll be the same old crap.. same old party line and a few weeks from now it'll be the "put that loss behind us... regroup and go again bollox
Solskjær press conference vs Chelsea (H)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
We have to win trooophies.
Great Post Robbie.
In as much as we want a manager to bemoan the apparent lack of activity, publicly attack Woodward and the Glazers, it's not going to happen. The sad reality is that whilst we are playing Europa League football we are not as an attractive proposition to some players as we would like to think. Squad harmony and everyone pulling in the same direction will give us a better chance of getting in the top 4 and attracting those sprinkles of stardust we are missing.
Time to get behind the team now methinks. We all want a change in a change in ownership but that will happen in one circumstance and one circumstance only and that if and when the Glazers want to sell.
If you are asking me who should have been sold from the team that played that day then it is easy Jones, Young, Lukaku, Matic
What time is the press conference?

Thanks x
Think you mean 10:00 BST or 9:00 GMT. British Summer Time is GMT+1
Always reminds me of a giant glasses case
Any rivers for the presser?
There is zero value in bleating about transfer window and what might have been. Need full focus on up coming games by the squad, coaching staff, and dare I say it, the fans.
We all know that Utd wont be challenging for the title, which is not good enough for a club of our stature I know, but we need to be focusing on a style of football in keeping with modern teams and not reverting to the tumescent and stale tactics long discarded by the better teams.
There will be wins and losses but we need to persist with the long term aims of modernising our game.

Apologies Paul you are correct. Been doing a lot of travelling with work recently haha
Did you ever hear Fergie complain about the owners or say that his squad wasn't good enough in a press conference before the first game of the season?
A bad manager undermines his boss and his squad publicly.
People need to cop on - of course he is going to say that he's happy with his squad.
It's a giant speaker covered with Gorilla Glass 6.
No, but from that team you have a proper RB (Wan Bissaka) replacing a makeshift RB, Maguire and possible Tuanzebe replacing both CB and a very defensively solid LB (Shaw) replacing a RB-turned-LB that couldn't defend to save his life. And there's a strong possibility that DDG will return to form with a new contract. So possible the entire defense replaced and an upturn in form from a WC goalkeeper just in one summer.
Bar the utterly useless Lukaku upfront the midfield and attack might consist of those players for a few matches, but atleast we now have a McT who have taken several steps in pre-season and could replace Matic from the get go plus two wonderkids (Greenwood&Gomes) and two exciting but raw wingers (James&Chong) fighting out for a starting place. And perhaps somehow Sanchez could find some of his old form back in a SS or #10 role?
Based on that, we could be looking at:
DDG
Wan-Bissaka
Tuanzebe/Lindelöf (who played RB that day)
Maguire
Shaw
Pogba
McT
James/Greenwood
Sanchez/Lingard
Martial/Gomes
Rashford
Which could mean 7-8 players changed who either didn't play that game or played in an unfamiliar position. That's pretty significant in just a few months. Sure, most of the deadwood isn't sold and I'm not saying this will all be grand, but atleast there is a lot of potential in this team to be excited about, in contrast to that game.
Young and Jones had signed new contracts. It was pretty obvious they wouldn't be sold.
What do you want him to say then mate ?
in my opinion the writing was on the wall the moment Woody was busy handling the likes of Mata and Jones with nearly zilc value long term contracts.
The next transfer window across the whole of Europe isn't shut, still could get rid of more players ie Rojo and Darmian.Someone needs to point this out to Ole.Tweet

Lukaku was clearly unhappy about his role and Herrera hadn't signed a contract so i was not completely surprised they are gone. Plenty of fans were calling for them to be axed prior to that quote as well and neither of them seem committed to the club; Lukaku engineered a move and Herrera turned down a new contract in favour of more money from PSG. Both were entitled to do that of course but they also had opportunities to stay which they declined.
But I am just referring to the wording of his quote from April, its accurate.
I was actually surprised about Herrera, and I think nothing was sure until the end and that PSG link was out later, not sure though. Lukaku was clearly unhappy, I really didn't think we would sell him this summer, simply because we had bigger problems than buying a replacement as well. Losing him without replacing him I though would never happen. The quote is everything but accurate if you try to logically understand what he meant.
Rojo signed a new contract and we are trying to offload him
Solskjaer will just have to contradict himself, we complained at him being made permanent manager nothing but a useless yes man with no managerial pedigree. Looking forward to the excuses
always reminds me a of a beats pill
Rojo's contract was a terrible decision to try get some thing back for him (or maybe not if we find someone daft enough to buy him).
Expecting Young and Jones sold from Solskjaer's comments after Everton is just twisting his words into what you wanted to happen.
United fans will love what Paul Pogba said in new adidas video
Paul Pogba has described how special it is to wear the Manchester United shirt as speculation continues to mount over his future at the club.

Could you imagine if the caf was about after the summer of 95, the place would have broken the internet with the metldown.
Yes we all know Woodward and the Glazers are horrible fecks who don't give two fecks about the club, the window is done.
Rather than burning Ole at the stake like a hell of a lot of fans are doing, lets actually see how we do, personally my only worry is that midfield but I am excited to see a new formation, pressing high, pace, energy, going at teams and the emergence of Gomes/Greenwood/Tuanzebe especially.
Yeah we won't win the league this year, we have a massive fight on our hands for top 4 but I am looking forward to the a bit more free flowing football, attacking with pace and playing without fear!
Feck everyone writing Ole off already, bring on Sunday lets get into these rentboy fecks!
Hopefully Ole comes out with something similar in his press conference, youth, pace, high pressing, attacking and being on the front foot

Trasnfer window - thoughts? Regrets?
Do you know I think when the transfer window closes it’s a great feeling of relief now it’s done now we know we’re looking forward with and I’m delighted with the three we’ve signed.

Exactly. We just need to start playing well again and all these nonsensical threads about how everyone at United is incompetent will just die.
"I am delighted with the three we signed".

Did you expect more signings?
Well that’s not the feeling indie the club and the feeling with the fans I’ve met are excited with the ones we’ve had there are always going to be fans out there wanting to sign players that’s part and parcel of being here.
The players are here now and have been shown that trust and we believe in them.

Lukaku? Disappointed with him?
It was time now for Rom to go because I think we got a good deal, he’s happy so I think both parties ended that deal as it should be. Rom was injured for a while this pre-season, didn’t participate so I just hope for him he’ll get a good start at Inter Milan.

Just a yes man

Pogba?
Always the same, he’s been great, I’ve always said every time I’ve been asked about Paul, when he comes in plays, trains he’s absolutely fantastic.

Crap man. Can someone just come out and say to him that we are short in attack and midfield? Want to hear what he says to that.
Oh dear...

Lukaku goals loss?
Of course Rom has a good record and stats he’s one of the top number nines around when you wanna play with that kind of striker, target man, for me I’m very confident that we’ll get goals from Martial, Rashford, James will create, I’m sure Jesse Lingard will get more. We have a different attacking set-up this month.

Attack better than last season?
Towards the end of last season we didn’t score a lot of goals and you do think players will have an impact and Mason Greenwood pathway would have been a lot more different if we had another forward there and I believe Mason is going to be playing and involved a lot and when he is he’s going to score goals.
