It's Quiet the £250m return

[wolviedinho]

Any news on outgoings?

Come on Viana…

Free up spaces and capital.

 

[Blue tiger]

what were some others, because i cant remember many fuck ups by ruben, what sticks in my mind is his constant blocks

I never mentioned him fucking up, I said he is slow. I love the lad like I said, but he is slow.

 

[Nightmare Walking]

Good news if true.

Wouldn’t mind another forward.

We should be in for Isak. Once a top player becomes available you enter the battle. Figure out where he can fit in later.

No you don't. that's the last thing you do. What you're suggesting is exactly how United have ended up in the position they have..
I think Isak is a great player and if Pep thinks he can fit into our system, then go for it. But, you don't go fitting square pegs in round holes, just because they come on the market.

Square pegs in round holes. Reminds me of Nunes at RB, Jack on the wing and a midfielder as a centre forward.

 

[johnny crossan]

That front 3 is europa confernce level

How about our third team?

Bettinelli;
Kabore, Khusanov, Doyle, Wilson-Esbrand;
Gundogan, Reis, Phillips;
Nypan Echeverri Grealish:​

 

[Gumzy97]

This team wins the league 4-2-2-2 shape that we played last season. With Doku and Savinho off the bench. You've got goals and tons of creativity and solid backline


Trafford
Nunes Gvardiol Dias Ait Nouri
Rodri Reijnder
Foden Cherki
Haaland Marmoush

But I think Pep might play something like this only a guess

Ederson
Akanji Gvardiol Dias Ait Nouri.
Rodri Reijnders
Foden Bernardo
Haaland Marmoush

Not sure of what point you’re making here..
Nunes is a shocker of a right back. Ok going forward (so he should be, we paid £55M+ for him as a midfielder) but disastrous in his own half. Clearly not an answer to our needs.
If I misread your point, apologies, but if you were highlighting Nunes as a ‘square peg, round hole’ success, then I can’t agree..

Nitpicking but Gvardiol must play on the left side of defence.

100% this

Sign players with a plan, a system, ensure Pep has input as well as the team the club trust - not scatter gun, AKA desperado to win …..crazy idea !

Well prepared to miss out on any player on the planet if they don’t fit in with the squad and the direction Pep wants to go.

Not sure it wins the league but it’s definitely in contention - we have a great squad, could do with a natural right back as that position will cost us points with a stand in playing.

Quite the opposite. I like to see players in their best positions.

That ship has sailed

But even if we sign him, he would come cheap, 30mil max

I kinda feel bad for the guy …lost an amazing opportunity over something he apparently didn’t do.

My only thing with both of those sides, is that there is no width or pace and we’d essentially have three 10s playing in that first line up

Hope so, definitely not good enough would rather we wasted the money on MGW

And nunes doesn’t play right back in a title winning team

Nunes is just like TAA in a way.. he'll get us points, but he can be the weakest point defensively.

It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't scenario as his assists are the reason we're in the Champions League this season.

He does fit our team's style for a Right Back the way Pep uses corner backs, but as we all know.. we will need defensive cover for top games!

How did it come to this? Bad recruitment where no one thought of signing playmakers who can get the ball to our forwards through a low block! ( but Nunes can and that forces our hand and we have to play him! I mean just look at our team.. the usual people aren't providing assists! Foden still hasn't provided a 10 assist season and he's been playing under Pep for 8 years! So the assists have to come from somewhere. )

I think we should find someone versatile who can do a defensive masterclass there while still being able to play other positions because there are not many right backs who will have Nunes's offensive production.

That's the spirit.

 

[Zenmanc]

And nunes doesn’t play right back in a title winning team.

Yet we can win a title with no semblance of a 9. Not sure how that works.

No. She's not. Before her there were various girls over the last few summers. I'm on a website has threads about him - he is actually very attractive and the various ' companions' over the last few summers have been detected by some of the younger girls on the website who are really thirsty for the bod of Mr Dias!

Imo several of them better than ms pajama. My hubby doesn't know why I dislike her so much, she just irritates me for no good reason!!

I understand being irritated by her. There are women whom dating athletes is their "thing." Some of them are known as "career killers."

Actress Alyssa Milano is one such. She made a habit of dating Major League Baseball players. Their careers plummeted whilst involved with her.

As for being a "beard," there are famous people who do this sort of thing, even in this day and age. Not saying this is the case with Dias but he does dress very flamboyantly. Him being from Portugal, I don't know if being gay is accepted there like in some other countries. I do think amongst some segments of the football community it isn't very accepted.
