United thread 2019/20

[cookster]

Heard someone mention them being linked with Cavani earlier. Is there anything in this or is it just daft transfer window nonsense? Think he’d actually be a pretty good short term signing for them if they got him, especially in light of Rashford’s injury.

His injury record the last couple of years in terrible. He's missed half this season with injuries about 5 in total. He's currently out for a couple of weeks with a groin strain, so it's a yes from me.

Simon Stone just compared him to Daniel Sturridge and Fernando Llorente and said United wouldn't sign players who aren't good enough on BBC radio.

Comparing Cavani to Sturridge, is one of the most random, nonsensical comparisons ever, if talking about style of play.

You had a long day on the gin when you typed that!

Ha on a little amazon fire tablet,it's too small or my fingers are too fat,probably the later lol

From all the headlines I've been seeing and hearing can someone please let me know when Rashford won the Balon D'or? It appears his absence is akin to losing the world's greatest ever striker.....

It is as far as the rags are concerned.

#SackWoodward now trending on twitter - I think the Rashford injury is kickstarting a serious rag fan meltdown

Something obviously very wrong at United - over the last 10 years they have spent a fortune on top class international players who when they were purchased were playing at their peak and practically every single one of them has not lived up to expectation. They have all failed to some extent - joining United has negatively impacted their playing careers. You can't tell me that these are all bad players - most of them are playing for CL teams.

Kagawa
Fellaini
Angel Di Maria
Falcao
Daley Blind
Schweinsteiger
Memphis Depay
Schneiderlin
Mhkitaryan
Lukaku
Sanchez

Everyone knows Lukaku is crap playing with his back to goal, however get the ball to him running towards goal and he is almost unstoppable, yet United always moved the ball so slowly and lacked midfield creativity so he was always playing with his back to goal. Inter Milan play to his strengths and he is banging them in again - it's not rocket science.

Likewise with Di Maria, if he receives the ball on the move then he is devastating. He was always back on his heels when United eventually got the ball to him. He was shackeled by his own team

Square pegs in round holes - long may it continue!

I'm not even convinced you're a fish

That's reassuring, as I'm not.

Well sod the Save Olly thread, I think we might need a Save Woody Thread. This man is sterling work for the Glazers, we can't lose him now. Not when everything is looking so good.

We've shown an interest, so woody is on his way to beat us to his signature with the offer of a six year £600k per week contract

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

Read on the BBC before that two planks salary is £3.16M p/a lol.

Source the rag S Stone so probably true.

Terrible treatment of Rashford if the rent boy and the rags' hierarchy knew that he was suffering from a stress fracture in his back and continued to play him. It’s a quick way to ruin a young player's career and one of the reasons I’m happy with how Pep is handling Phil Foden.
