The annoyance about this deal is that not only will he strengthen a side in our division, but it will also weaken us as we will then lose Bernardo. The club must have a good reason for not wanting him because De Jong seems to tick all the boxes for us. The fact we previously wanted him also...

The only real thing he did wrong yesterday was missing the chance Grealish provided just before he was substituted. If Foden passed him the ball as well he could have easily have left the pitch with 9 touches, two goals and an assist.

The thing that pisses me off about United is that they are still in a position that 98% of all English clubs would die for. Even through this so called disaster, they qualify for Europe and spend millions on players. Yet you’d think they are on the verge of doing a Bury or Derby the way the...

Does that rat faced weasel ever stop bitching about the Glazers? I’m surprised he’s not been on question time blaming them for the cost of living crisis and the war in Ukraine yet.

I don’t think anyone should be knocking the guy based on yesterday’s performance. He kept the ball well, looked dangerous throughout, played a key role in our second goal and should have had an assist. He’s had an encouraging start to the season and will hopefully build on it.

We took Alvarez from the Argentinian league and Gabby from Brazil. Dias and Eddie from the Portuguese league. Zinchenko from the Russian league. People knew Haaland was going to be a top player from his time in the Austrian league. Van Dijk became a top PL player after playing in the...

Interesting that the majority of his assists in that YouTube clip come from low crosses. You’d expect Haaland to have a field day with those.

Defensively, Walker is without a doubt our most important player. The CL semi against Madrid proved that. I do think Cancelo is hugely underrated by some fans. Probably because when he’s poor, he’s proper shite. But there’s no full back in the world I’d take over him when he’s on top form. I...

I’m not sure of where I’ve stated otherwise. A top quality LB completes this squad with Cancelo rotating across RB and LB. I do think you are over exaggerating the problem slightly though. We’ve won the past 2 PLs and almost reached back-to back CL finals with our LB issues. I think the issue...

I agree but that doesn’t mean we need to buy a LB by Sunday (start of the season). It simply means that we need to get someone in by the end of August.

I agree that we need to sign a LB but we got until the transfer window closes to do so. Walker and Cancelo are still two of the best FBs in the league and would probably be starting the first few games regardless of whether a new LB joined. For me the big issue at FB arises when we need to...

It makes zero difference. Brighton were hardly going to drop the fee by £10 million just because we still had Zinchenko on our books. The lad was offered a huge wage increase and the opportunity for regular football at a top 6 club. He’s been an excellent player for us and I’m glad City didn’t...

The only key advantage we currently have over Chelsea is Pep. Who knows how long he will be here though. Everything else we can offer so can Chelsea.

Why would he do that? At the end of the day the lad has done his bit to get a move to us. It’s our side which has let him down if anything. Now Chelsea have come in and they value him a lot higher than we do. It will be interesting to see the final fee for him though. If it is a flat £50...

That’s the wrong argument to make IMO. Cancelo is a top class LB and I don’t think anyone should have any worries with him playing there. The issue is the lack of depth at full back. As it currently stands, we are an injury or suspension away from playing an unproven kid or a player out of...

Whatever happened to common sense from referees? I can’t help but feel that there are a lot of punishments in football that don’t fit the crime.

Are you also amazed that the vast majority who post in the player thread are not professional players? What about those who post on the politics thread not being politicians? Or those in the match day thread not being professional coaches? At the end of the day this is a fans forum where...

I think Liverpool looked 2/3 weeks ahead of us which isn’t surprising when you consider our preseason. It’s also important to remember that before today, Haaland has only had 45 minutes of football during preseason and you could tell. Haaland will come good soon enough but I do think some...

You were saying …

Fair play to the lad. Nunez has come on and changed the game. Haaland been anonymous today but I still wouldn’t swap them.
