It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

He didn’t exactly do badly on Saturday did he.
He’s a pro and not the type to sulk

He might have thought he was leaving. Even someone mentioned he cried when he left the field….

Just a reminder. We've just knocked 10 in, and if going by last season, we haven't even warmed up yet.

Yep, and Spanish Ched is on fire.

Ronaldo gives them 20 plus goals a season
Varane is a quality CB comes with champions league winning experience
Sancho to be seen but has quality

Lukaku scores the goals chelsea missed last season which they should’ve scored
if they get Saul that adds more depth to their squad



So improvement. In the case of united dramatic improvement to what they had last year

If you genuinely believe that then fair enough,i don't feel the same concerns.

We were amazing last year in all but the games that Pep didnt implode in,and now we have added a world class,game changing,midfielder who will provide magic alongside our other world class game changing midfielders in KDB and Foden.

I agree, to a point. It was Norwich and Arsenal though.

Not true. We don’t need some crazy big name to buy. There are strikers out there that are not some crazy big name that would improve is. Same as no one knew who Jesus was until we signed him. Why didn’t we sign a big name then?

Who would improve what we have? That’s the crux of the question rather than just signing someone for the sakes of it. Wilfred Bony ring any bells? Torres is doing a fine job in that position - as he did last season - scored more goals against Arsenal than Lukaku if that’s your barometer. Jesus can play there if needs must, we can revert to a false 9, we have Delap. We have goal scorers all over the pitch, we are just fine.

I am. There is a reason we won 3 in the last 4 years. However we shouldn’t stop even the chairman said it’s not time to stop but to strengthen. And we haven’t. Simply put imo teams around us are catching up and we stayed about the same. Which to me makes us weaker.

We havent stayed the same though,and thats before our incredibly talented kids are considered.

It’s been a very disappointing window but we will still win the league. I hope the transfer team have learnt lessons as not getting Kane and Ronaldo is poor. I expect a few in January and a huge summer next year.

You’re not suggesting he played well just because he knew he was leaving surely.
He’s a professional guy and will always give his best to the team.

Just watch the Liverpool game they played. They are extremely disciplined compared to what they were last season. Kai will be like a new player for them this season. Their defense have been transformed imo with tuchel. Idk maybe I am wrong but they are a completely diff team then under lampard. And they know how to grind out results we saw that in two times they beat us 1-0

Am I the only person who finds it weird to call opposition players by their first name? Could never imagine myself saying ' Come on Ruben, get a tackle in or Paul will send Marcus clean through'.

We’re gonna follow up he pattern of this window. Only one signing next summer to fix a non-issue in the squad: a new goalkeeper.
