United thread 2020/21

Harry the Head arrives to lend a hand..

 

[Mike Cledford]

Out of interest can somebody tell me how many penalties they have had in 2019/20 and 2020/21 ?

Are PiGMOL reps paid commission for their pens awarded ?

They call it a productivity bonus.

 

[cookster]

To be honest scoring 60 goals from 9 penalties, is an excellent return...

Goes back and edits post ;)

Load of mind game bollocks, he’s secretly thinking/hoping we’ll collapse and still thinks they can win it, the gurning hobbit ****.

we need 2 world class strikers
city have been short of strikers for years and losing aguero and replacing him will mean the same thing
sell sterling and jesus get good money for them both and sign haaland and kane and bring in delap

I don’t think haaland and Kane would suit the way we play.

the way we play is world class and a world class striker would walk over burning coals to play for us

Would be funny if the glazers said OK you win we will sell up then sold to someone else to do a leveraged buy out and they ended up in 5x as much debt as they are at the moment.

Alternatively, would it be possible for the glazers to 'remortgage' the club and give themselves a huge payout and increase the club debt?

All your suggestions are possible.
Your first suggestion is very likely in case of a takeover.
The rags need to be very careful what they wish for.

I don't know why Sky just don't go all-in and buy them.

There are easier ways to earn more money with 5 billion quid than buying a football club with it's glory days behind it, with decrepit infrastructure and a spoilt, entitled fanbase.

But they would be asked to do more than just score goals.
Sterling has probably had the goal scoring coached out of him like Spanish Dave.
I would guess players like them but with a goal scoring instinct like Foden.

Next season will be very interesting. Rags, Chelsea and Dippers will be an all out war for the title. Pains me to say it but OGS has managed this team really well and no doubt will be a force next year. Their ability to turn a a losing position into a win is very impressive. Least amount of losses. Its only the draws they've had that have cost them this year. 2nd place and a Uefa europa win is still pretty damn good. Not sure why the rag fans are so angry.

They're angry because the noisy neighbours are getting so loud that they can't sleep at night anymore.

Is that the response to the question: What 3 words spring to mind when you see a man united fan?

both haaland and kane track back in both of their teams. kane works so hard for spurs and great with son as a pair
sterling never had the strikers instinct but worked hard on his game but still never in a million years is a striker

city have to start to covert more of the chances the great players make in this team ? its criminal the amount we miss and the team has to work harder in picking up results because of it. great world class team kill games off in the first half because of a world class striker

If we are talking Kane or Haaland they wouldn't get the service. Mbape possibly.

Our front players have to work hard to get their reward, not just get in the right place to be able to run on to a through ball.

That's why City are (usually) hard to defend against, unlike other teams that have a focal point up front (at most a couple of options). With City, a goal could come from any one of about 5 or 6 players in open play, and anyone but Ederson from a set-piece.

If we had Haaland or Kane they wouldn't be the same player in our team and I'm not sure either are capable of adapting to the way Pep wants us to play.
