On reflection it's because it denies Sky et al. the chance to w&nk themselves silly about Rooney 'coming home' to break a record or some shit like that. At the same time ignoring the fact he's been a useless, unfit, smoking (unforgivable for a 300K A WEEK sportsman) passenger for England and Utd since Fergie's penultimate season.

kurtsimonw Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Nah it's only this and last he's been poor. Moyes season pretty much just he and Wellbeck were the only players to bother showing up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted December 5, 2016 Author Moderator Share Posted December 5, 2016 I think he needs to bite the bullet and just pay whatever Fellaini wants to get those incriminating photos back. That's the only explanation I have for him getting any game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykeyb Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 It was a ridiculous decision to spend all that money on Pogba when they needed more strength in depth and that is all down the the managers arrogance. Could find themselves outside the top 6 again come the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with Ibra, though I've no doubt Jose also liked both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, a lot of that is because he has "worlds most expensive player" tag. They should have broken it on a better player if they were going down that road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he joined Chelsea or Man City then it would be Zlatan or whoever else United signed who would have the 3rd best shirt sales. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Still not looking like a team that has clicked, although yesterdays game was very controlled against a weak opponent on a terrible pitch. At least Zlatan seem to have regained his scoring touch after a rare blip in form. 7 goals in his last 6 games. Really must replace Rojo in January, but probably won't as Bially will be off to the AFCON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not in midfield. Porto: Costinha, Maniche, Pedro Mendes, Deco Chelsea: Essien, Makelele, Tiago, Lampard, Duff, Robben, Cole Inter: Cambiasso, Stankovic, Thiago Motta, Sneijder, Muntari Madrid: Khedira, Alonso, Kaka', Ozil, di Maria Chelsea: Matic, Fabgreas, Oscar, Hazard, Willian, Ramires There's probably 3 players in there you could argue are like Pogba. Essien, Muntari and Ramires. Muntari was a squad players and Ramires went from regular starter to rarely starting when Mourinho took over. Seems more to be he likes defensively disciplined players who have a bit of technical ability about them, a clever #10 and then bags of pace for his wingers.

Mjvilla Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Just watched about 10 minutes of the man Utd- Spurs game and Jesus wept what an absolute bag of shit. I was bored to tears, so I put mr. Tumble on for the kids and he is far more entertaining! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea were so good because they grinded out 1-0 wins constantly. Mourinho was even quoted saying winning 1-0 is the easiest thing to do in football. His tactics are get a goal, and lock it up for the rest of the match. If the other team equalizes, he goes on the offensive again and then repeat.
