Harry Maquire v2.0 - destined to stall his development

Aye.

But he'll be on 300,000 a week. Enough to emulate his hero Paul McGrath.

I really hope they do spunk £70,000,000 on Declan Rice, that would be hilarious.

I have worked in Mayfair a couple of times as it happens (and I was paid enough). The first time I worked there was just after Sven was sacked and Garry Cook appointed as CEO and I went for a walk one lunchtime and bumped into Cook, Mark Hughes and Kia Joorabchian coming out of a hotel, where they'd been sorting out Hughes' appointment and contract.

Mods! Someone’s hijacked @Prestwich_Blue ’s account and started to gratuitously name-drop.

"Declan Rice looks set to be a permanent fixture in the England team as Manchester United are expected to make a £70,000,000 bid for the next Gary Pallister..."

At least the pudding joke will get another airing

It was obviously written after they went on that run of 10 games and every rag nobhead thought they was back and the paper boy was the second coming.
Every man and his dog know solksjaer won't be there after Christmas and this prick jackson will be peddling this book.
Got car crash written all over it.

It'll be in the bin with his other books;-

"Moyes - Hand Picked for Success"
"Ryan Giggs - My Brother's Keeper"
"Van Gaal - The United Champion's League Winning Years"
"Mourinho - The Player's Friend"

Happy days last season when Ole was at the wheel beating all the teams in and around the relegation zone

 

[SPIDERBOY]

Did they get a penalty?

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

"We will win the league easily next season....."

I didn't watch the Wales v Croatia game, but I was shocked by the match report where they describe Dan James pretending to have a head injury.

Giggs said “He was compos mentis. We did tests at half-time and he passed them. He stayed down, I say about players being smart and he was smart, he stayed down and he was fine. The physios came over and there was no problem. He stayed down, he was a bit streetwise, he told the doctors ‘I’m just not moving, I’m just sitting still,’ not to get anyone sent off but just using his nous. At half-time, he did and passed all of the concussion tests. He was fine.”

I don't care if Man Utd are playing Liverpool next, that is cheating. We all know players do it, but usually it's impossible to prove. If he gets a ban for this, it will probably be from international matches.

The football authorities should be dealing with this. There is deception going on here. Either Giggs is pretending his player was not unconscious, or the player is trying to deceive the ref. Is there another explanation?

That’s just a euphemism for cheap.

hopefully spend big on Rice and Dier at Christmas. That would be fantastic.

Remember this is the same Ryan Giggs , who was " injured " for a 50% minimum of his international call-ups .

The media will cover it as, just what this young united team need a bit of experience,ignoring current experienced players.
The same will be said of Mandzukic giving valuable knowledge to the united kids.

Giggs said “He was compos mentis. We did tests at half-time and he passed them. He stayed down, I say about players being smart and he was smart, he stayed down and he was fine. The physios came over and there was no problem.

That's a genuinely bizarre quote. What exactly was he using "his nous" for if it wasn't to con the referee into sending someone off?

I saw another quote from him saying it was just a bit of "acting". Imagine being a doctor/physio and racing onto the pitch thinking someone has been knocked clean out, only to get there and hear him say something like "It's alright guys, I'm just pretending not to move". I'd chin the cocky little **** right there and then.

There's pretending to be injured, which is bad enough, and then there's pretending to be unconscious, which is absolutely despicable and should result in a lengthy ban heading his way.

The alternative is that he really was unconscious and Giggs has concocted this story to justify leaving him on for the second half, which is even worse!
