Nicky Butt, Alan Smith, Gabriel Obertan, Danny Simpson. We should make it a policy not to sign anyone from Man Utd.

 

On the other hand Gillespie and Liam O'Brien. We completely fucked up not signing Rossi as well imo.

I'm not going to argue. Like you said, no point, and I know the player infinitely better than anyone else on here. 

 

Unless I've had a rake of pints I'm fairly sure I've never come on here and criticised a Newcastle player. 

 

Except when you cunts were saying £50m for Sean Longstaff who is just a diet McTominay. 

 

 

Well yeah precisely. I'm still not even sure I would prefer McTominay.

He’s a decent player to be fair, just not top tier, he does most things well, he’s levels above Longstaff that’s for sure, but way below someone like Bruno. He’s arguably been Man Utd’s most consistent player for a few years now when played and under several managers too. I like him, but he’s not what we need nor Man Utd really.

As much as I love winding up @Froggy, someday we will have to learn that fans of other clubs often have a better handle on their players and managers that we do.

 

To call McTominay shite, just lacks any sort of nuance. A lad like that under SAFs Man Utd would have gone on to have a career similar to someone like Fletcher IMO, who was a great squad player and top professional.

 

Personally, I think the past year might have stunted his development irreparably but I wouldn't rule out ETH getting a tune out of him in some capacity.

I think he's exactly what we need, which is a solid squad player who plays for the badge. 

 

Too many overpaid players full of talent who drop their tools at the first sign of trouble. McTominay will never do that. 

 

We've always had players like him in the side.

I also wouldn't keep hanging onto that 2nd place finish from 2 seasons ago, you were still miles off it while other teams had big off seasons. 

 

 

 

 

I think the end of next season is when I'll get over it. I still miss Ole.

Aye he’s a Carrick or Fletcher in a Fergie Man Utd side, I like him me, he’d walk into our current side, but he’s not big star quality and that will go against him for some reason.

It seemed a good idea at the time. 

 

Rangnick's literal thing is long-term thinking though, and you guys went all "let's hire him on a temp deal" :lol:

Jack Colback is shedding a tear of pride at that hiding from the ball.


Looks good on the data because you’re constantly moving but shite in video form, when you can see what’s actually going on.

Incredible how many people just don't watch or don't know about football. :lol:

 

Not a chance he's sold unless he's shat in ETH's cornflakes. 

 

Arguably our best player under Mourinho and integral under Ole. He'll have a big role to play at us. 

 

A Twitter thread why he’s not shit:

 

 


This sums him up pretty well by Frank McAvennie a few months ago:

 

“I love him but he’s not good enough for Man United. He strolls about the midfield."

 

“I’m a great fan of his and he’s one of the boys (Roy) Keane picked on and he was dead right."

 

“McTominay was letting City walk all over them. There was absolutely nothing in that midfield."

 

He used the former United captain as an example: “Keane would have up-ended the guy running with the ball and walked away."

 

“McTominay is a good player but he just seems to stroll in some games."

 

“I would like to see him get stuck in a bit more. He needs to show the fans he’s hurting.”


 

An article why MUFC need to replace him in the summer:

Yep, he’s in decline now. I wouldn’t want Shearer up front either.

I'm not sure a 30-year-old who scored 26 goals between 19/20 and 20/21 is comparable to 51-year-old with two dodgy knees who hasn't played professional football for 17 years ;D

Unfortunately,  for us, there is very little comparable between the two.

Didnt Shearer score a grand total of 7 (ish) goals by the age of 22?

 

Makes his overall record, with 2 seasons missing due to injury, even more impressive.

He was never prolific until he signed for Blackburn. Remember seeing a clip a few years ago from when he first signed for Blackburn and he even said himself.
