Please don't tell me the Saudi Adam Pearson is trying to be an ITK now

Obviously can only speculate but will Rangnick solve these problems when he moves up to a director role?

Out of curiosity, what do you think is the main factor holding Man U back from winning trophies currently? Obviously the board is pretty rotten but what specifically are their biggest mistakes? Managers, quality of signings, lack of signings, not having a DOF, not having a clear culture through out the club?

No way he's slower than Shelvey over short distance. If anything I think his acceleration is quite good and it's his top speed that lets him down.

fucking disgusting refereeing

Winner mentality. I was one of the ones who doubted the appointment of Eddie but I was so so wrong. So lucky he is our Manager.

Why is the majority of talk on here about moving sites when the owners have already said they want to expand St James? Would they have said that without knowing it is possible?

Relying on match winners or not, we have a better chance of winning if ASM is in the team. Surely nobody can dispute that?

Wouldn't a draw be good for us? Keeps Palace within distance and not too significant for Watford.

We played very well as a collective unit but we did look a bit one-dimensional/toothless with Murphy on the left instead of Maxi. Murphy nor Fraser are going to beat 2 men to go to the byline and cut it back the way Maxi has been doing recently. I do agree in the sense that Maxi is more like the cherry on top now that Howe has the squad so well drilled and knowing their role.

Have any of the city group clubs or red bull clubs done something along these lines before?

Osimhen ASM Antony Bruno Willock Joelinton Renan Lodi Botman Diego Carlos Trippier Dubravka Going all out on a couple of big signings means we would have to make do with a couple of less than ideal players for a while longer but I feel this route would put us in the same direction as if we were to sign a whole new team inclding players like Tarkowksi, who will only ever be squad players.

Minute 2:34. Chicharito did the same thing but scored I'm part mexican which is why I remember the goal.

The Brazilian guy on here said Bruno has a talent of knowing exactly the right weight to put on a pass depending on which player he is passing to. He was on the pitch for 6 minutes and we've already seen that talent. This guy will be world class.

I'd also bin Shelvey, IF we had another midfielder who could play the deepest. I just think Bruno will be wasted being our deepest midfielder. So that means it's down to Joelinton or Willock. It's a really tough decision and I actually don't know who I would rather see dropped out of the two. I think I'll just trust Howe's decision on this. The one thing we all know for sure is that he HAS to start, Maxi, Bruno and Tripps have to be the first 3 names on the team sheet.

I think Lamptey will go on to play at the highest level, he was signed because of Ashworth's extensive knowledge of club's academies.

It's just been pulled up a couple of posts above yours. Really really good post.

Is it not possible that he's proved himself at that level and is now ready to make the step up?

For anyone looking to know a bit more about Ashworth, this Brighton fan offers some good insight.

Yeah don't get me wrong when Schar has a good game he looks very classy (last game against Leeds) but he's just as prone to a clanger as our other CB's aside from Fede who I can't remember ever seeing a clanger from. Conclusion: It should be Burn and Fede starting in a back 4.

Schar is also a constant worry though. He's had as many clangers as Clark or Lascelles they just don't get made into a big deal because he makes a nice pass or dribbles past a few players occasionally.

Still better than Lewis going forward (He doesn't panic in attacking positions and can has a good cross on him). He's not great with the ball at the feet but better than dummet and It's not like Lewis or Ritchie ever go past players.

That LB Kamara they signed looked good against us but is very small and lightweight. IIRC he was bullied in the air for one of Norwich's goals in their last game.

Yeah I know shelvey will most likely play this is just what I hope Eddie goes for. I've seen the Etikite has played on the wing before and I think he might provide more of a goal threat than fraser, with Bruno's passes and Wood's knock ons.

I'd go with something like this: Wood ASM Ekitike Joelinton - Bruno- Willock Targett - Burn - Schar - Trippier Dubs
