United thread 2018/19

Would of got him a lot cheaper when I said we should go for him I said it before we bought Laporte

I also said he was decent when at Hull - however he has never had any pace. I think Laporte will end up the better player. I only hope we play him enough for that to come true. We need to establish Stones / Laporte as the main pair this year.

This myth that Pep inherited a better squad than PEG is nonsense, IMHO. It was started by PEG to cover up his deficiencies and perpetuated by morons like Custis and Castles.

If the rags' squad was so poor pre-PEG, how come more of them were still at the swamp last season than there were pre- Pep players at Etihad?

It's a bullshit excuse to cover up their deficiencies. We finished level points the season before Pep and the eye gouger arrived, both clubs had problems, we addressed ours, and they still have 2 fullback ex wingers in the mid 30s, and no right winger, yet they are scrambling around for a cb. They are clueless, long may it continue.

There’s plenty of time for that.

They are still only 24 and it’s accepted wisdom that centre-backs develop and mature later than other positions.

Nico and Vinnie still have much to offer and can both help Aymeric and Big John in their development into (hopefully) world-class defenders.

I take it they must be writing separate articles about the ****s employed by each club? 36 seems on the light side for the rag vermin though.

Looks like utd are granting his wish.
Maguire- 6ft 5
Boateng- 6ft 4
Zouma- 6ft 6.

Sanchez’s outburst is hilarious. Greedy fucking twat!!

Even without a new signing, their squad is very strong and a better manager would get far more out of them.

De Gea
Valencia Bailly Smalling Young
Fred Matic Pogba
Rashford Lukaku Sanchez

This is before you add the likes of Mata, Martial, Herrera etc.

I've no idea where this myth that they need a massive splurge has come from, they need better coaching which I hope they don't get for a very long time.

Nail hit on head.
Utd have got a dinosaur managing them. What I can't understand is why they are linked with 3 centre halves.
Are the they planning on playing an 8-1-1 formation this season?
Very strange behaviour from them but they are more concerned about being headline news and having more tweets and followers than doing actual business.
