Obvs the Glazers are evil money-draining monsters and what not, but you look at signings like Antony, Sancho, Mount - how much were those? 200m plus? - and think they've got decent reason to not spend.

 

I was wondering how many of their squad I'd want at our place. Fernandes. Rashford maybe. And that's it.

 

 

 


I’d take Hojlund in a heartbeat. Imagine what Ange would make of him. Not really got a feel for how good Varane is on the ball, but we need a backup CB so he’d do. Fernandes would all depend upon how he is off the pitch. 

 

Other than that, it’s crazy but you’re right. There are a fair few players you’d take to bolster the squad, but arguably hardly any that would improve the team - which is insane.

Re Man U, the post-match free-for-all with Neville, Keane and Carragher was just as entertaining as the football.

 

I think it's all going to get worse. This plan for Ratcliffe to buy 25% of the club and take over the football side is bonkers. For the privilege of playing Football Manager, he'll be taking responsibility for results whilst the Glazers stay in ultimate control. I've not heard of a structure like that, and it looks doomed to fall apart in no time.

And I’m here for it, can’t wait for the Norwich shirts on Wednesday night.

I think they would bounce back eventually, our style is well suited for them as well, they are a counter attacking team and are an attacking one.

Neville blaming the Glazers for Anthony’s signing.

 

I understand that the Glazers are disastrous but they’re not at fault for this one imo.

 

Of course they are. They're the people who hire the people who make these deals. Antony was available for £50m earlier in the summer and still would have been an overpay. 

 

There's zero structure, and it all comes down from the top. Every single transfer we get involved in is a ridiculously long, drawn out process as well. An atrocious club in the transfer market.

 

Look how efficient you were in the market since your new owners took over. From an outsider looking in it seemed that as soon as your interest was reported the deal was completed very quickly.

 

We spent 5 months trying to sign De Jong only to panic buy Casemiro. It worked out that time, but it's a recipe for disaster the way we operate. Not sure who you would put the blame on if it's not on the Glazers.

I thought Varane but he's made of glass and Casemiro is getting reds every other game this season.

 

The only other person I thought was Rashford who looks shot to pieces

True, i know it’s like a FM meme but changing captain mid season would be mental, I can’t imagine it’s something which is up for consideration.

Fernandes is the captain. He's our best player, he works the hardest and he's the most vocal. 

 

He lost the head yesterday and was running around trying to kick people. Not great behaviour for a captain, but it reminds me a certain Irishman who's one of the best captains we've ever had.

 

Rashford doesn't have the mindset or the ability to be a captain. He's also one of the laziest players we have. When he isn't scoring he's absolutely useless and contibutes nothing.

 

Casemiro doesn't have the discipline. Varane doesn't have the fitness to consistently be in the lineup.  Shaw and Martinez probably the only other candidates and they're both long term crocks.

Frogman, is ETH under any pressure?

He’s right. No football club owner worth their salt should sanction 80m for Antony.  There’s zero excuses for that. No way did he look a £80m player or one with that potential. Yeh that’s ETH bad as well but he’s the head coach and shouldn’t be in charge of transfers. 
 

For all I question some of our managements strategies and decision making. They don’t panic. Our decisions are strategic that fit a long term vision.  I might not agree with all of the choices but the decision making has decent logic. Man U don’t do that.  
 

If you told Eddie he needed to finish in the CL or EL Spot this season, no excuses and you can buy who you want. I don’t think he spends £70m on Libra and Hall. But we have a plan from the top and Eddie doesn’t dictate it.
