Man Utd Watch - 2022/23

[dee]

Red Cafe are ... err ... "not terribly happy" that a second bid is being considered for Arnautovic

Wonderful lunch time reading 🙂

 

[refugee]

That's wonderful.

 

[Judge Jules]

The look on de Gea's face while he's telling him....those few moments while Slabhead processes the info....

Comedy gold.

 

[peekay]

Surely not - they’re not that fucked up?

At this rate, they’ll be plotting a move for Neymar Shefki Kuqi next season, along with re-signing Jesse Lingard and having Shhteve McLaren as interim boss while they wait for Frank Lampard to get sacked for relegating Everton.

[tomasjj]

you can´t blame the glaziers for not giving them transfer funds or funds for wages

the direction of the football leadership at their club is another matter

 

[tombrown]

Don't mind Utd's woes - why haven't we singed a midfielder yet?

 

[dee]

Booo

They’ve told Bologna they are no longer interested in their Right Winger

 

[rurikbird]

“After fans’ complaints…” United are a laughingstock.

Seriously.

I mentioned this earlier in the Rivals thread :

United's (TH) obsession with buying players from the Dutch league is going to end in tears.
Players from at best an average CL side and at worst 2nd rate teams in a third rate league.

And even they are turning them down. Money will persuade a few in the end but you have to love it. How the mighty have fallen (beyond my wildest dreams) United and Barca both paying the price for inept management.

It's totally illogical and it's as if the United scouting dept has been binned in favour of whatever players EtH wants. An unproven manager getting all the players he wants, how could this 'plan' possibly fail?

 

[Hansern]

They're planning a new protest before the game against us.
#emptyOldTrafford is trending on Twitter among their fans. Not turning up for the game is supposed to show the Glazers how unhappy they are.

So we're going to have to hold his feet to the fire?

They just don’t want to watch us thump them

We’ll never be able to beat them at OT with a midfield of the likes of Henderson, Keita, Milner and Jones anyway.

You're benching Fabinho? Now we're never winning this game.

 

[StevieM]

Fabs was injured, along with Thiago when we smashed them at OT.

When we smashed them at Anfield, it was the same midfield that played against Fulham.

Youe conclusions will probably be somewhat like mine.

Other than Utd are shite, obviously.

Ah, I take of my bowler hat and tip it in apology. You are quite right and my conclusions are the same.

 

[Woland]

We should buy that de Bruyne lad in case Keita gets injured

Too old - don’t you know that midfielders in their 30’s are past it and can’t be relied upon - he only played 5 more league games than Thiago last season!!!

I don't understand why the Glazers don't just run it well.

It'd be way more profitable and a lot less fucking hassle.

Pay Michael Edwards £20m a year and just let him get on with it. It's not even hard.

 

[bluebell]

Who is in a worse position, Barca or Man U? One in the CL is attracting players, and is good on the pitch.
The other off the pitch is financially stable for now but can't attract good players and not in the CL

 

[tombrown]

Who is in a worse position, Barca or Man U?

Neither. It's obviously us

Shhhhhhhhhh

Yep - Barca & Man Utd have midfielders.

They even signed some in the last 6 weeks.

Barca are in a far worse position long term, they are selling future revenue streams to fund moves for 33 year old strikers.

It’s ok - they’ll just ask the people who bought them to let them defer the revenue and get their fans to boo companies that don’t.

Everton.

Pay Agent Edwards £30m a year to “Rafa” them and get them to hire Damien Comoli to replace him.

If he can convince them to hire Frank when Everton sack him - all the better

 

[Hyena]

Everton.

Ngl. Everton seem on a better trajectory than United at the moment
