Man Utd fans are/were protesting on how the club was bought. Any other angle and they lose credibility because Man Utd have spent as big as anyone without a cohesive strategy like Man City Liverpool and Chelsea. Also the football landscape has changed a lot so the fans protesting are struggling to come to terms with a lack of constant success. The fact that post Ferguson they’ve still won major trophies and had ECL qualification shows they’ve been spoilt as that’s an acceptable level of success for any sensible thinking fan. It’s perfectly reasonable for another fan base to point that out to them. Have very little sympathy for the Everton fans plight. If they’d got behind Rafa they would’ve been fine within a couple of seasons and in a lovely new stadium. A lot of their issues stem from Liverpool having another successful period in their history but that doesn’t take away from the fact their owner is chucking his own money at trying to make them the best they can be. Your Bury comment makes no sense at all.

Woodgate’s needless backheal to keep the ball in play at the strawberry corner against Partizan Belgrade was the exact moment our decline started.

No he’s just very balanced and intelligent with his views on players. He hardly poo poo’d him. Not sure what give you that idea.

He was very positive about NUFC as a club and SJP/Fans telling a nice little Steve Perryman anecdote.

Made some interesting points. Especially about how he struggles against high press teams and was subbed early against Man City & Bayern Munich and might struggle to move ball around quick enough. Big character and up for a challenge. Improved is left foot (along with his French) and has improved greatly last several months. 7.5/10 WB ?

Tim Vickery on “the radio” now…

It all adds up to them not wanting to sell to us. They may have different reasons but all want the same outcome.

@AyeDubbleYoo approves this message.

Just like Sevilla and Lille TBF. Hence why i struggle how some are blaming NUFC this window. Clubs really aren’t wanting to sell to us this window if they can avoid it.

We really haven’t. It’s our negotiations go between a club not wanting to sell.

I reckon we should go for the Feyenoord CH based on very little. Wouldn’t be surprised if he’s our Plan B .

The fee is £3.5m that’s been reported this morning on the radio.

£3.5m plus full wages seems sensible deal for rest of the season. Think he might surprise a few if we get him.

Good to see the body language of the squad including Dwight Gayle.

Don’t remember us bidding £40m-£50m? If referring to that Tweet it was what they were preparing/hoping for not what they’d received was the way I translated it. We probably know now how much they need to buy Martial and have held firm.

I agree. I didn’t think it was a clear penalty.

Is it just because of KO time?

Cancelo great also.

Bernardo Silva.

But if he weakens Burnley…

I’ve told you a million times do not…

Play Fraser, Murphy and Almiron. Will need plenty of players who can run today.

Each to their own but I’d take Dubs over Leno everyday of the week ?‍♂️
