United thread 2017/18

[Colin Bells Boots]

He's burdened him so much with defensive responsibilities that he's got no time or energy for doing anything creative.

Well Sanchez made his bed, so he has to lie in it.

I don't think we have missed him, and after watching Mahrez yesterday, I think he has far more about his play, should we still be interested in the summer.

Fcking Sanchez, love to know what’s going through his mind when he’s playing in that team and sees how we’re playing.

What a colossus fuck up of a decision he made there.

 

[JASR]

I can see United breaking the summer transfer window total spend records - either they do that or mid table mediocrity beckons.

De Gea - surely this year Real will snag him
Lindelof - Their Mangala
Blind - sidelined
Luke Shaw - broken
Darmian - sidelined
Valencia - on last legs
Carrick - gone
Pogba - fallen out
Fellaini - going
Young - on last legs
Sanchez - Getting slower and slower
Martial - pissed off (had his entire AMNumber branding ready to go, when he lost that number IIRC)
Lingard - will follow his dab partner to the ends of the earth
Rashford - dicked about with
Ibrahimovic - going

So even if some of that doesn't occur, they're going to need to replace almost an entire starting 11 just to stand still.

Looking at their recent history of incoming transfers:

..it's a pretty dire the amount of short term churn in the previous 4 seasons

14/15
Di Maria - gone
Shaw - dead and buried
Herrera
Rojo
Savic - gone + Who?
Blind - sidelined
Falcao - crocked and then playing better when he left

15/16
Martial - not happy
Schneiderlin - moved on
Depay - moved on
Darmian - sidelined
Schweinsteiger - moved on

16/17
Pogba - not a happy haircut
Mkhitaryan - moved on
Bailly
Ibrahimovic - let go/moved on

That's an abysmal hit rate (similar to ours on 'misses' 12/13 to 14/15 https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/manchester-city/alletransfers/verein/281 )

On a serious note, what do you think has happened to Sanchez since becoming a rag? He's a shadow of his former self under Maureen so what could the Pulis tribute artist have done to totally fuck things up in the way that he obviously has with Sanchez?

There's obviously a great deal that goes on behind the scenes at the swamp than the likes of us will never know, but Maureen and/or a few players must have said or done something to unsettle him.

its called milking the system taking the money over medals he can not look at himself in the mirror anymore and thank god we did not panic and do what united did and offer him double bubble. pep and city did the right thing and was in the best precision and we did not need to panic and look silly. £400.000 a week WoW and they also have the mighty mouth zlatan ibrahimovic on the books and he is on £300.000 a week when did he last play for them ????. you can smell the the stench and its not the manchester ship canal. we must never take our foot of there neck until they turned blue and floppy we have to finish them once and for all

Marshall as cover for Sane maybe. Rashford on the bench. That's it.

For who??

 

[KentBlue]

It just seems that there is no rational thought behind their collective thinkings. The Glazers are aware of the poisoned atmosphere Maureen's created there, of course. They will know all about the (alleged) falling out with certain players, his recent meltdown, his throwing players under the bus, and that stagnant, putrid hoofball that even their own
supporters have had enough of...but they're apparently offering him a new deal to ensure he stays there!

They must surely know that between them Maureen and Teddy Two-Planks are destroying their investment.

 

[bornblueegg]

Gotta laugh

 

[SPIDERBOY]

For who??

And to think Southgate told Maureen that Marcus Of Rashford will go to the World Cup even if Maureen doesn't play him.

 

[Jacob Smith]

New contract for Young, lol.

 

[Blue Hefner]

People ask 'why do they go there to play in a Mourinho team'. It's quite simple. Ego

Any player that goes there goes from decent player to world beater overnight - Darmien, Lukaku, Bailley, Shaw etc.. all fall into this category
