It's understandable as it's so long ago, but when people are now comparing Pep and Fergie they're COMPARING Pep with Fergie at Man United. His Aberdeen achievements are arguably just as impressive.
-
They won the treble two seasons prior. They were definitely one of the best sides in the world.
-
Fergie never created teams that blew everyone to pieces as long as you looked the other way from 1992-2013. I'd genuinely love to Pep take over someone like Spurs and see what he could do.
-
Imagine if we actually sold players.

Martial is a good player and has good stats per 90 (0.74G&A per 90 this season), but his body is made of glass and his commitment is questionable so I'd be happy for him to move on at this stage. Although he's on a ridiculous £250k a week so will be very hard to shift.
-
Zero chance of this. Pickford does actually make sense though. Can't see it now they've stayed up though.
-
Absolutely shocking miss from Mike near the end. Even worse was McManaman trying to act like it was some great save. Bastards.
-
10pm tonight probably a good place to start.

Just sharing my opinion. That was a chill response.

We just going to pretend like Fergie never won two European trophies with Aberdeen? Aberdeen only won 4 league titles in their history and Fergie won 3 of them. Won their first in 25 years, and nobody has won the league except Rangers and Celtic since Fergie left. He also won the Premier League with Cleverly and Anderson in midfield. Pep couldn't do that IMO. Pep is class, but he has his ideas and if someone doesn't suit he turfs them out and uses the chequebook to replace them with someone top class. Fergie often had average players scattered around the first team but was able to get 100% out of them every week. Pep walked into a Barcelona side that had already won everything in the previous couple of seasons. Xavi, Iniesta and Messi were already established key players. He walked into a Bayern Munich side that had literally just won the quadruple under Heynckes. He walked into a City side that had already won everything domestically in the few seasons prior. Fergie walked into a Man United side that hadn't won the league in 20 years. I hope Pep is a man of his word and takes over Brescia to show us what he's really made of.

Don't be silly. You need to chase someone for 3 months even though they have no intention of coming, and then panic buy someone else on the last day of the window. Everyone knows this is how you do business.
-
You need the right people in charge as well. We have the reputation and history and are terrible in the transfer market. It was completely different under Gill.
-
He was getting half a mil a week to play golf for the best part of two years. That man is anything but gutted.
-
Underrated by many. He's had a phenomenal career. Shame for him that he didn't win the Champions League.
-
I mean, of course they are, but this is first time I've ever noticed this.
-
The very best of luck to them.
-
Don't think we will to be honest. We have to sell numerous players this summer. I don't think we'll be terribly difficult to negotiate with.
-
3rd in the league, won the League Cup and final of the FA Cup in his first season. Let's focus on that instead of his record away to the top 9. IIRC even City only won 1 away to the top 9 this season. Ten Hag has done brilliant. After all, he was barely speaking English in that interview.
-
Weghorst started like 18 of his first 19 games for us. he has 30 apps since January. He has played loads.
-
I disagree. I think sometimes it doesn't work out, but generally it is that simple. A top striker massively improves us.
-
Do Weghorst now.
-
I don't at all. Your question was completely understandable. One of my best IRL friends is a long time poster. He recommended the forum because of the games section. Just went from there really. I'm on here more than I'm on any other website. I would say my stats are obscene.

Kid Icarus is just ubiquitous in every topic or post so tends to clash more than most. We tend to clash quite often then go through periods of being amicable but we're just very different. Quality poster at the same time and offers a lot to the board. Others are just ignorant and aggressive with any substance.
