Stal Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 36 minutes ago, Froggy said: 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.

Tenacious, energetic and technically sound. Having Phillips and Bruno Guimarães as your DM options would be some serious depth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theregulars Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Re: Gordon again, I'm not not a fan but don't see how people can be as negative as some on here based on his performances. He's been fine-good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 2 hours ago, Shayve79 said: 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Don't know how his availability has been for City since I don't watch them regularly, but he missed a lot of games for Leeds in the Premier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 we already have a better version of McTominay in Longstaff. We should be looking at an upgrade for Longstaff so that he can be a squad player. I can’t think of a single reason to sign McTominay at all, but then I couldn’t for Gordon either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds United are known as Leeds. Sheffield are known as Sheffield. West Ham United are West Ham. It is what it is. You've made some good posts, but they are going to land better if you just accept people grimace at referring to them as "United" here. When in Rome and all that.

Smal Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Leeds are known as United here in Leeds, like. In Sheffield where I’ve lived before it’s very much either Wednesday or United too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eveready Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Which clubs united to become Manchester United? I live in London and I rarely hear people refer to Man Utd and simply 'United'. The only guy I know who refers to them as 'United' is a Man Utd fan from Manchester so I'll give him a break. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 It's mainly in the media and Man utd fans themselves and kids who've been fed it on sky. I don't think I know of anyone who was around before the Premier league who calls them that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want McTominay, but the version of Longstaff you're talking about is the Longstaff Eddie Howe has moulded. The comparison will only work if EH works with McTominay - at the end of 18 months of the same coaching we'd be able to make a meaningful comparison.

He's always had this level in him. McTominay has not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
