United thread 2020/21

And that French one, Louis Saha. I think he got an under 18 cap for his country, but that was it. Ignored by successive French managers thereafter - but then signed for the rags and got his first senior call up immediately after. Played 20 times for his country, but the moment the rags sold him his international career came to a sudden end.

Odd, that.

Wes Brown, Danny Welbeck, Smallthing, Ashley Pigeon, The Face, Big Jesse, Gregg's Shaw, St Marcus; Slab, Ravel, Alan Smith, Greenwood, Wan-Bissaka, Cleverly, Frazier Campbell. All of these are or have been full England Internationals. Unbelievable, Jeff!!!!

You’ve put me in mind of the serious discussions the pundits engaged in about changing systems and building the England side around the prodigious and exquisite talents of tom cleverly.

He will join the ever-growing list of ex rags to turn up wherever the elephant man is manager.

He will also become an ex England international at the same time.

 

[Sky Blue Thinking]

Plus the medi's desperation to give jazzy-jazz a British passport, so that he could join the list of over-promoted rags.

Where is he now? At Réal Sociadad!

The next George Best of his era. Picked up a few bookings for simulation otherwise known as cheating iirc.

Ollie could always turn to youth....or maybe not, his U23s are already 5-1 down at home to the dippers.
Still half an hour to go so could reach double figures

Not sure how he can be trusted to do anything positive judging from his media interviews .

There is bland nothing of any value shite and then there is OGS !

Cheers.

But as it's pretty close, they presumably have hardly any 'spare' cash to splash, without raising some with sales, prior to buying?

Correct. They took that £140m loan for operating cash flow, not to fund a transfer spree. That facility was for a maximum £150m so they're borrowed to the hilt.

Tonight's SSN ticker trying to whip up sales interest in Lingard.

• Lingard's representatives have held initial talks with a number of clubs in England & Europe.

SSN ticker crushing all hopes with the next rolling update.

• Man Utd have yet to receive an official offer for midfielder Jesse Shingard.

Agent: JLings wants his brand name on the back of his shirt, as well as payment for every shirt sold to supplement his proposed £200,000 a week wages. Being a premium star of the great Manchester United that's a pay cut.

Club CEO: **** off!

It was apparently lifted from the Athletic so probably stuck behind their rip-off paywall.

The Athletic are offering subscriptions for 12 months at £1 a month. Worth it at that price, even for James Pearce's fanzine articles.

Would that be the same Tom Cleverly who, after a debut 20 minutes sub appearance in the Community Shield, was immediately named by Woy Hodgson in the England squad?
