I wouldnt be surprised if theres a 'gentlemans agreement' for shrek to join us in the Summer

You need to be dealing with gentlemen in order to get a "gentleman's agreement". The scoundrels will sell him to PSG the first bid they get.

Not going to bother responding to these posts anymore since it's derailing this thread.

Carry on cheering about our £10m profit and fantasy Rooney signing in the summer or Costa this January.

I didn't cheer. I said I think strengthening a tired rival mid season is probably a bad idea and I don't believe there's any Rooney deal.

I simply stated that Robben is limited as a player, and that he's not the world's third best winger.

Stay Juan :3

So we still havent accepted United bid? It may all just be a troll by Jose to just drag this out to the last day and then at the end just pull out of everything and leave United w/o any signing during this windom. :Goober:

If we're looking towards the future then Salah is not a great signing at all considering we have the likes of Piazon and Bertrand Traore in the wings. Even Atsu. He is not significantly better than any of those. I'd be very annoyed with this signing.

Why look inward and be efficient (common sense) when you can just throw money at it.

How many of those 24 players on loan do you see Mourinho developing like he claimed in the summer?

[calculatingInfinity 1,443]

Err, what?

When was I talking anything about that??

Quoted the wrong post sorry lol, there was a post on the same page with that #10 talk.

I blame it on the freezing cold outside, my poor fingers were dying typing on the phone.

I'd shit my pants if Mata were going to play under SAF. He'd thrive under him.

But he's got Moyes. Going from Mourinho to Moyes is to go from Mercedes to Mini.

I'm not sure Moyes knows how to get the best from flair players.

[Las7 951]

If United don't qualify for the CL, Moyes will be sacked

Not to mention the dressing room is split like a pair of builders y-fronts

Perhaps lukaku and Courtois might get their chances but that's due to their high profile (as emenalo would say "pedigree") and the amount we have invested on them especially with Lukaku. As for the rest, I can't see it.

ONCE A BLUE NOW A RED IN OUR HEARTS YOUR DEAD.

Moyes will find a way to fuck it up with him.

He is actually the second. Fit Robben > Ribery

Yeah, those two don't count in my eyes. One is already one of the best goalkeepers in the World while the other is one of the better strikers in the League.

Talking about the likes of Thorgan Hazard, Piazon, Chalobah, McEachran etc or Academy prospects. Where's our Sterling, Gnarby, Januzaj, Barkley, Bentaleb etc like Jose promised?

Even Rafa gave more chance to youth players believe it or not.

I've all for using young players but Piazon isn't a left-footed right-winger. It's as simple as that. He might be a good choice to bring in as cover in the middle or on the left but I don't see him being used on the right.

Atsu may have a shout, but Traore is still very young in his development. Give him until the end of the season and then judge.

Salah has Champions League experience, is a decent price and seems to give Jose exactly what he wants on the right side of midfield. There's not a lot of downside to this transfer and tremendous upside.

[Azpinator 2,325]

I agree with that, but it wasn't A penalty, it was THE penalty. As some here mentioned before, until last year he was a big game bottler.

Messi? Oh that's right, he's inconsistent as well.

[Term-X 7,891]

Lmao, this is hilarious, Mourinho turns us into title challengers with a system that actually works, and he gets slated for 'not playing youth' and now Rafa is the superior coach..

What next?, we win the league title and those two members (you know who) are complaining about the lack of Jack Corks in the squad lmao. You couldn't make this up!
