Sheffield have two teams, United and Wednesday. Neither is known as just Sheffield.

 

And man u have been known as man u, or man united. Seems they only tried to grab the united tag as their own when Citeh got known as Citeh as opposed to Man City.

I don't know anyone outside of Newcastle who doesn't call them United.

 

Usually it's Man U in a negative way. As in "Manure".

 

You'll all need to have thicker skin if a simple post rattles that you that badly tbh.

It's a recentish thing, defo since the Premier league and part of all the media shite that goes with it.

I don’t necessarily have an issue with McTominay signing. I can see how his qualities would translate well to Howe’s coaching and tactical set-up.
 

But my position has always been that the club can’t (seriously) then brief the press about FFP struggles if we’re deliberately targeting players in the most inflated market bracket possible (following on from Gordon).

Sounds perfect for us tbh [emoji38]

 

Longstaff should have hit double figures last season.

 

 

 


Yeah he should have. It’s probably the only negative against Longstaff and Willock is the amount of chances they blaze over the bar from great opportunities.

Signing Gordon followed by McTominay would have me asking questions of the leadership.

Because we all know more then Eddie on what and who he needs for his squad? 

 

We are going to need someone like mctominay who will buy into being rotation players of a bigger squad.

 

Not everyone will be a purple

For me, someone like McTominay comes down entirely to price and price relative to our budget, so it's very hard to judge. If we got him and he was one of only five new players and one of two new midfielders it would be hard to not be disappointed.

Entirely untrue.

 

That's how it seemed. Only noticed them being referred to as united in the last couple of years, well after Man City getting dubbed as "citeh" by other club's fans.

 

Never made any sense calling them "United" anyway, as they're not united. There's two teams in Manchester so not united at all.

People need to give Gordon a pre season.

If we are sitting here in a years time fair enough but Eddie does have history of settling players in before they peak.

 

People need to give him time, full stop. Drawing any conclusions now is stupid.

Really not keen on Phillips one bit. 

He was first choice on my wish list last  time of asking and still think he would be a phenomenal signing. He looked really gutted (in context of his side just winning the league!) at how little he’d featured/been backed by Pep. Eddie would boost him massively.

Phillips would be perfect for you. Tenacious, energetic and technically sound. Having Phillips and Bruno Guimarães as your DM options would be some serious depth.

Because they rarely play him as a box to box midfielder.

 

He's usually hiding behind an opposition player, scared shitless over the idea of receiving a pass. He's not a DM. Solskjaer persisted with it for years.

 

He scored 4 goals for Scotland during the last international break. They used him differently.

 

He scored 8 goals (1 might have been taken off him) for United during 20/21. He's not a very good overall player, but he does possess good ball striking technique. His height and physical presence are useful in the opposition box. He's similar to Fellaini.

 

The Fellaini comparison is a pretty good one tbh. He wasn't that good technically either, but he was big and physical, and he got some goals.

Agree, don't understand why people wouldn't want him. I'm guessing wages would be a problem for anyone coming from City and it seems unlikely in general, but I think he'd be great.
