The Manchester United Thread

Highly doubt Aldiweireld is even an option now for us, he's not going to leave Spurs to come here now we're not in CL. He'll have plenty of offers elsewhere anyway.

Way more recently, in the time Spurs have signed Lucas Moura you've signed Van Dijk, Keita, Fabinho, Allisson....... no comparison really.

The point still stands that this frugal Tottenham team is little different to Liverpool's. How he's chosen to spend the money is irrelevant but there's still on a £21 million or so difference.

Outside of the last two windows, we had a negative spend every one under Klopp.

Daley Blind showing why you guys probably sold him with that second half performance. He was bullied by Llorente couldn't hack the physicality of the PL and it showed.

He was virtually never exposed for his physical shortcomings in almost 100 appearances in the PL, including consistently pocketing Lukaku among others. Was so, so good at playing to the percentages and knowing how to avoid wrestling matches, foot races etc. whilst still containing CF's. So are we really going to ignore all of that in favour of coming to rash, recency-bias-filled conclusions based on one half of football?

He was sold by Jose because he was 1.80 and slow. He wasn't interested in how he compensated it, he was always going to be just small and slow in his eyes. Maybe instead of crying about how he had nobody to build from the back to be able to play like Spurs/Liverpool/City, he should've kept & used Blind more, huh?

If you say so you've watched him more than I have so i'll take your word on it. Although what's happened with Bailey he was one of the standout CB in his debut season and now out of favour?

He never really recovered from that knee injury. It all went downhill from there.
 
Central Coast Mariners have said today they are still waiting for talks to finish between Phelan and Utd about the Directors role.

In terms of ability, he should be up there with the best by now. In terms of decision making (and possibly IQ in general), he's not helped his case. Losing runners/not being switched on (e.g. PSG 1st leg), nonsensical lunges, etc. Possibly confidence related too.

You have bought and shuffled more players. Yes in fact there are morons who buy Bentekes(30mil) and Couthinios(140mil), that has been good edge for you. Add to the fact like you say players want to join Pool more than other clubs.

Lets not forget that they just build new stadium also. This would risk and effect every club financial.

But I have already understand that anything Spurs does wont be accepted by Pool fans(read enough topics in Pool reddit, other forum topics)
 
L'pool have bought more what now?

I think you'll find we haven't.

It's plain facts Bujakaa. This is no anti-Pochettino/ 'Spurs thing.

This. The kind of intelligent defender Solskjaer would kill for right now.

He would probably be playing DM for us
 
I disagree. Part of me believes LVG's structure masked Blind's deficiency (for the most part) just as it did for Mike Smalling. He hasn't looked like the same player since then.

Baldy Egg head was saying the same all weekend. Would be happy but not believing anything.
 
Also Spurs' finances cant be compared to Liverpool, let alone the Manchester clubs. They are by far the "paupers" of the top 6. when you look at the overall finanical numbers, its not even up for debate
