AyeDubbleYoo Posted Tuesday at 23:57 Share Posted Tuesday at 23:57 I think it was more that we spent money on them instead of a RW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted Tuesday at 23:58 Share Posted Tuesday at 23:58 It was more Hall and Barnes IIRC. Some are some that still think Barnes was a poor signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted Tuesday at 23:58 Share Posted Tuesday at 23:58 And after the fact with Tonali, since he got banned and all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza ladra Posted yesterday at 00:01 Share Posted yesterday at 00:01 There were many non-NUFC pundits and fans who reckon we paid too much* for Tonali. (I think that opinion had some traction.) * Same clowns that said we paid too much for Isak. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted yesterday at 00:15 Share Posted yesterday at 00:15 10 hours ago, NoU said: Honestly, I didn't think it would be such a controversial shout. There are a ton of young foreign players that have failed at clubs like man u or chelsea, which have turned out great. Those clubs treat them horribly. There are many examples of players who didn't get a proper chance at Chelsea, like Salah and de Bruyne, or if you prefer, Hall and Livramento. Their current star is someone who didn't get a chance at Man City. There are some great ex City players out there. Antony is ex Man U, and has been given dozens of games without producing. There are not many examples of brilliant ex Man U players. Chelsea sign or train good players but don't make the most of them. Man U's recruitment and academy are nowhere near Chelsea's.

Shak Posted yesterday at 00:33 Share Posted yesterday at 00:33 I think people were pleased with the 2023 summer window at the time. It definitely aged poorly early on though. Tonali it looked like Milan might have absolutely done us selling us a player that they possibly knew was gonna be banned soon for huge money. Hall couldn't get on the pitch for a team with a horrendous injury crisis. Tino looked quality but played the same position as one of our key players. Barnes was having an injury hit first season. Natural enough that people were feeling nervous about the business at the time. Suffice to say, the worm has very much turned now. Three of them have turned into automatic starters, and Barnes has been productive when he's been able to get on the field with how well Gordon has done.

timeEd32 Posted yesterday at 00:40 Share Posted yesterday at 00:40 It’s not about the players. Our scouting has basically been beyond reproach since the takeover. The summer of 2023 was financial mismanagement though and that’s true even if we win the treble this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFEE Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago Rather go for Trafford TBH even if I did suggest Kelleher a little while back before he played against us. Wasn’t as impressed albeit just the one game. Think Trafford under EH and our defence would be a great fit and would prefer not to give Liverpool the amount of money they’d demand for him.

Nine Posted 22 hours ago Share Posted 22 hours ago 6 minutes ago, duo said: So we can focus our limited funds elsewhere Personally I feel that Kelleher is a huge upgrade on Dubs (and an upgrade on Pope to). It’s inevitable that we move for a goalkeeper that can actually use his feet at some point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
