Our new friend is definitely a keeper. I hope he's not hounded off like so many others have, it adds a bit of balance to the forum.

Only other English team to win a trophy. Played an entire season without a recognised center forward. Our (incredibly limited) Keeper won the golden glove for the most clean sheets in a season. It wasn't because of him. It was the defence.

When are you lot lifting "The most clean sheets trophy?".

More importantly what are you doing on here? Literally nobody gives a fuck what you think. Irrelevant twats.

Off you go now with the new club shirt and Norwich scarf.

I dunno, after winning the treble, will the hunger be there next season? Or will there be a drop off? Gundogan will be a big miss, because he often gave De Bruyne a night off, which kept him fresh for the business end of the season. It also looks like Mahrez might go and Kyle Walker. Mahrez was a great option from the bench. Always seemed to score important goals in big games, and Walker is the insurance policy at the back, sweeping up any potential threats. He'll also be a big miss. All big characters with bags of experience, lots of quality going out of the squad. Who knows?

You are currently sitting on the top of a hill, looking down at the others climbing up. Some people enjoy the climb, some people enjoy the view from the top.

Winning the treble/ champions League was mearly the end of the beginning at City.
If you want to delve into the future then listen closely to the people who run our club.

Too early for any predictions, because without a number 9 to put the ball in the net, there is still a huge missing piece in the jigsaw. Need at least 25+ goals from somewhere, to even be considered title contenders. But you can see the pieces starting to fall into place.

Complete bollocks. As you’ve quoted Peps tactics earlier you’ll notice we won many titles without a 25 goal number 9.

If the evidence was so weak he would have been acquitted at the first trial. This trial has been stopped by the victim saying she has had enough, does not want to give evidence at another trial and to protect her young sister.

It’s had her desired effect, let the world know what it’s like in case what he did to his poor pathetic little brother Rhodri hasn’t registered. Laid down a marker for the next victim.

There was other stuff he’s been accused of also, going too far with his initiations of youth players being a sex crime according to Andy Woodward.

It’s time for Giggs to be honest with himself, change his name back to Wilson, as he’s a real chip off the old block.

Looks like Onana is going through. very good signing unfortunately.

It's a good thing he's passing the ball to Varane, Wan Bissaka and Luke Shaw...Or he can go straight into midfield to Fred, McTominay or Bruno...

He looks very good but could be a downfall for them also as they still don't have the tools to play out from the back.

Things are starting to fall into place, How exactly?

You lot got absolutely thumped away from home most weeks last season on top of bring humiliated by Sevilla in the Europa League also being outclassed by City in the FA Cup Final and didn't have to get out of second gear.

United are still a "moments" team. Nowhere near good enough to be considered anywhere near title challengers. They'll be lucky to get top 4.

A bit harsh it was only six months ago they were challenging for the quadruple and rashford was the best striker in the world. I think they've turned a corner....

I'm not sure it is too early for predictions really. In fact, as you have so successfully morphed into 1990's Liverpool then I'd say this is the ideal time of year for optimism.

Sevilla and the FA cup final was the death knell for De Gea. Those games specifically made Ten Hag change his mind on the keeper situation. And now we have addressed it. He identified a problem and fixed it. We will see a different team that plays out from the back, a keeper that comes out of his box and sweeps up at the back, not rooted to his goal line. A modern day keeper.

The fa cup final was a shambles. One team on an upward spiral, riding the crest of a wave, and an opposition gassed out and mentally on their holidays.

The lack of depth caused TH to overplay certain players, to the point where they didn't have anything left in the tank from March onwards. This was a learning curve, he learned about his team. Who he wants to keep and who he wants to move on. And in what areas he needs to strengthen.

By the end of this transfer window, I think he will have what he needs. There may be a few more surprises in August.

Why is the United thread up to 280 pages without a ball being kicked?

I love talking about United, it's my favourite thing.

Yours too.

I told you before cos we’ve had a lot to laugh at :)

Just to summarise …….

-Deadline after deadline & the Glazers are still there.
-Harry Maguire refusing to leave.
-Cheating cunts failed FFP, only brought in at your request.
-Jonny fucking Evans who you seem to justify worth buying the 35 year old cos Pep was linked to him when he was 29

You get a lot of traffic pre-season then we tend to move onto the sub threads which start with “save”.

So you’ve come with all your bravado after being brainwashed by the Glazers client journalists spinning positivity, distracting the fact that noone who has the money wanted to buy you.

If it all goes wrong (again) who will you blame as it seems you believe in every strategic decision made up to now.

-Glazers have backed Ten Hag again.
-You’ve got the keeper you want.
-You think Jonny Evans is a great signing.
-You think giving Rashy same pay as KDB as good.
-You think Mount is transformational.
