I think Hojlund is going to be good.

What are you basing that on?

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

I’m sure they do it to save them the embarrassment of him leaving for nothing because nobody will buy him

Too late for that considering his 18 goals in last 3 seasons whilst being paid upwards of £250,000 per week !

Now that is embarrassing !

Their recruitment in the last x years has been dreadful. Maguire, Pogba, Bailly, Fred, Van De Beek, Telles, Sancho, Antony, Amrabat, Mount, Ighalo (!) Weghorst(!!) etc etc.

Apparently offering Martial a contract extension….they will never learn, crazy!!

Will be due a testimonial next year that lad, they’ve been wanting rid of him for a good 8 years.

Re the Sancho saga

I spoke to an ex pro recently who is still very much involved in coaching roles. He said it was widely known, a total open secret, everyone knew, that sancho has a serious attitude problem.
City were happy to get rid and he was problematic at BD and england too. So when united signed him it was a serious “what the fuck moment”’within the game.

He said a big part of citys success is they try not to sign dick heads and seldom get that wrong. The due diligence is extraordinary when we sign a player

United dont bother

They only sign boyhood supporters or kids straight from the academy. Why should they be concerned about quality of game, they're playing for the badge and the glory.

He scored a goal.

Hot off the press . Luke Littler has been offered a three year deal as the rags heard he’d had an offer from the premier league so have jumped in first. They’ve heard he’s a free scoring player who is going to be really big

I didn't want to be taking the piss, going back that far. If you go back that far, where do you stop; Kleberson, Djemba Djemba, Fortune, Milne, Cruyff, Poborsky?
