I should have said the money associated from him. I agree it’s just extra borrowing coming via his companies or contacts because the Glazer’s are either unwilling or unable to do it themselves. Whatever, it’ll last 2 or 3 years and they’ll be looking for more finance. Another year or two out of the CL and they will be completely goosed because nobody is stumping up $6bn when there are better options.

These clowns get paid for spouting this shite

He also said some shite about manooooo being a proper player . Not sure what that means or where he got that nugget of information from . Think he has played about 55 minutes of premier league football.
 
There will be be a black market for blank sick notes to be sold outside Carrington this week
The players will be queing up for them, and forging their mums signature to hand in to Erik
Bruno got in early, Maguire and Shaw booked their week off last night who else wants out?

To be fair to him, he seems to do well enough for Denmark, so he's probably not as shit as his club team are making him look.

They create almost nothing for him anyway and he already looks pissed off about being there. Even at times they could clearly play him in, they're too useless to do it.

The problem is that stupid journalists and rags compared him to Haaland, a comparison nobody can live up to, so you're on a hiding to nothing anyway, then drop that player into a team that create nothing and this is what happens.

I suspect if you put him into a team that creates chances, he would be half decent. Probably not worth the price he was though.

He's about the only rag player I don't find to be completely unlikeable and he looks fed up already with how shit they are.

They can't make chances for him if he doesn't lose his markers. Look how many goals Haaland has scored when he's not been involved in the build up and it looks like nobody bothered marking him.

But he sometimes does. In that Bournemouth thrashing the other day, he was clearly there for a tap in if that Dalot squared it, but instead he ended up smashing it into the side netting from a daft angle. There was a point in the rags game last night where he was free in the box and one of their players didn't bother looking.

I don't think he's going to get anyone 25 league goals a season, but I also think the shite around him aren't doing him any favours either. I think he would still do better in a different side.

They're just a poor team, which is why they have a negative goal difference. The rat doesn't have an assist at old scaffold all season, he's meant to be their playmaker, so it's hardly a team where a young striker is going to have much success.
 
Hard to believe, but someone with sense posting on the cafe

"The table doesn't lie. We got what we deserved. We didn't go out solely because we lost tonight. We went out because we played badly more often than we play well over the span of six games. As late as about an hour into the game in Istanbul we still had a great chance to progress. We didn't.

We can blame referees, we can blame mistakes, we can reach for all sorts of excuses. However, if over the course of six games you can't get it done, that's not coincidence that's your level. We are not good enough for the Champions League and we'd probably get battered by the first good Europa League team we would have faced. As Liverpool may demonstrate at the weekend"

About as fair an assessment as you'll get.

The reality is they were moments away from ending up with 2 points if not for a penalty save in the last minute of the only game they did win.

They're way off this level.
 
Just imagine if Copenhagen had scored their penalty at the Swamp.
The rag shits would have just 2 pts to show from their 'group of dearth'

Did 5 minutes of bt comms last night and the shite they came out with was ridiculous. Turned over to Supersport and Alan Smith told it like it is.

Oh, there will be. There will be. The fact that the rags are not playing has never stopped the commentators from continuously squeezing them into the dialogue.
Remember that cnut Tyler? It wouldn't matter what game he was commentating on, a couple of non-leaguers in an early FA Cup game and Tyler would be mentioning the rags within 30 seconds of his commentary starting. And throughout the rest of the game he would bring some totally fucking useless piece of trivia in just to mention them ("I have it on good authority that David deGea likes crisp-sarnies." Or "Did you know that no team with the letter 'D' in their name has beaten the rags by more than a single goal since Easter 2016?"

Televised football in this country that doesn't make glowing references to them every couple of minutes doesn't exist.
