Genie Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Just now, Zatman said: Them players mentioned left it all on tge pitch though amd worked hard. Fergie had no time for Beckham lifestyle and Neymar is a lot more hectic Cantona did on occasion spill off the very edge of the pitch I take the point though, it would be interesting to know how SAF would get on now with modern players. He seemed to have Rooney on the straight and narrow and he was one of the highest profile players on the planet. With Neymar you'd have to accept it might only be for a year or 2 and to milk it before it goes sour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooney, Tevez, Ronaldo... all had faults of their own, but SAF worked with them because they all put a shift in for the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Their squad is miles weaker than last season, surely they'll sign a CM and striker tomorrow. Someone like Ander Herrera was a decent player who could come in and play to a good standard, he's not been replaced and seemingly they're not going to replace Lukaku either. Made some very weird strategic decisions last six years and this seems another summer of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Bring in 2 overpriced defenders and sell their top scorer. The joy never ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 They got dominated and lost 4-0 to Everton last season and they don't improve their midfield. Hilarious really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Man Utd are useless at transfers. How much time have they wasted this summer talking and negotiating with Dybala, Fernandes, Eriksson, Mandzukic and possibly others without anything coming of it. They were quoted £80m for Maguire at the start of the window then end up paying £80m for him at the end of the window! Jose was critical of it last year and it doesn't seem to have improved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 On the plus side, they've shifted Lukaku. If he gets any bigger he won't fit through the door at the San Siro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Got seven CBs on their books now: Maguire Lindelof Axel Smalling Rojo Eric Bailly Phil Jones Must be a record for premier league club to have that many (excluding youth ones) at any one time surely?!

HanoiVillan Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 (edited) I guess Bailly is out for ages, but yeah, that's a lot. If he tries all of the combinations possible from 2 CB's, he could have a new CB pairing each week for half of the season Edited August 8, 2019 by HanoiVillan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Lovely article on the BBC where there is a discussion around who is the best dressed between rashford and lingard. Are these guys 12 or something? No wonder manure are a joke the last few years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
