The Manchester United Thread

Well done on winning the fa cup fellas. I'm going to miss Van Gaal though, he was always giving it right back to the press and made it a joy to watch.

Cheers Tezzz. He wasn't good enough but I also enjoyed that.
 
Somehow, I've got a very good feeling about this, I feel that this just might be the club where Mourinho finally gets his long stay, United get their new Fergie and glory days return.If this is to happen though, then I think that both sides need to adapt a little Mourinho more so than United.I'd like to see Mourinho take the kids seriously and actually give them a fair chance and I want to see Mourinho given time to develop youth and transition his team and back him fully in his 3rd/4th season(even accepting a finish outside top 4 if need be)and Mourinho must remain patient with his players and the club and not burn all bridges like he did at Chelsea and real.One concern that I feel is unwarranted is that Mourinho's football will be difficult to watch and unattractive- yes he will play defensively at times, but he has shown us that he can get his teams to score goals(Madrid) and remain defensively solid at the same time.The last thing that is needed is that we, the fans not turn on Jose or the club, they need our support more than anything else, so let's get behind our club and manager and get ready for the next season!

Unpopular Opinion:I do not want Zlatan to come to United for the simple reason that he is not a team player(and should not be) and that he will become a centre of attention for our attack and everything will go through him and Mourinho always does better when he is able to spread the goals around the team and not have to build a team around a player(See Inter before and after Zlatan)we need a striker who is a goal scorer and a team player at the same time, he should be willing to pass the ball to a teammate if they are in a better position while also being able to score a lot of goals themselves.Not to mention the fact that Zlatan is pretty old and will prolly leave in a year or two

edit:typical wishy-washy post, eh??

Sadly, I can't stay away, been here since like 2010, I feel so old. Probably one of the oldest members now along with you, Tyton, , Sunliv, Vanjagl and the mods.

So why do you keep throwing moodies?
It's a bit embarrassing (unless you are a teenager?).

Yeah, the journos have hounded the poor guy for like 1.5 a year, he handled it amazingly well and never had anything resembling a meltdown.

Can't wait to see how the meltdown specialist they're about to hire will handle that much pressure.

I don't, it's just when you try to discuss rational, ala Pereira being badly treated, deserving more opportunities this season and bringing up the fact that it's not exactly a stellar attack that he is trying to compete for a spot in this season. It's frustrating when other people think differently and it makes me wonder when he will ever get a chance. (This was the example not a debate I am bringing up again for the record). Then it gets taken out of context by me saying Mata hasn't been that good this season and I am suddenly saying Pereira is better.

Long story, short, it's frustrating when you post and then it is taken out of context as to what your original point was meaning. Trying to bring up a normal discussion that has a valid point to it. It started as a valid point to be made anyway then turns into an argument for no reason because certain people take offence to me bringing Pereira up. Probably because LVG has done good work with other youngsters this season, which I have never said he hasn't.

Key points
  • Mou wants early business and squad in place for Pre season
  • Budget to him is 200 million, he will have final say on targets
  • Players already contacted.
  • MATA and BFS could be sold.
  • Marquinhos,Stones,Aubameyang, Zlatan,Jamez all targets
  • Giggs may be offered a role in backroom staff, he will reject it and leave.

I get your point.
But doing the old "I'm going home, and I'm taking my ball with me" routine never works out well ;)
I've learned to live with the idiosyncrasies of message boards these days and just ignore them.

The new thing is leaving out words before a noun, so it reads like you are using an accent.
"I love going pub on day of match".

You can search back through posts on forums and see exactly when members suddenly started being 'sheeple' and changed their posting style to 'fit in'.

I like your posts zzeezzy, you are a passionate fan.

Appreciate your understanding man and same to you, we have good posters in this thread and others so it's always a good place to have a passionate debate, sometimes it goes over the top (talking about myself here).

The effect of storming off works better in real life ;). But I usually end up going back in the pub not long after so... then again maybe not. :@

That's the worst thing about the internet for us aul lads.
You can't punch people or slam doors.

We just have to get along ;)
 
Lots of people worrying about Rashford. He will be fine, he's shown he's the real deal, if anything we need a forward to take the pressure off him.

Zlatan or someone like him fits perfectly for this situation. Free, experienced, still capable of performing at the top level but won't block his development.

I think next season they'll be more world class managers in the Premier League than world class players.

Don't usually post twitter related stuff, but this made me laugh, could very well be true as well.

  • Mou wants early business and squad in place for Pre season - good
  • Budget to him is 200 million, he will have final say on targets - good
  • Players already contacted. - very good
  • MATA and BFS could be sold. -questionable, no resale on BFS, has huge squad merits. Mata only worth if not playing a 10 and you get a storming wide player
  • Marquinhos,Stones,Aubameyang, Zlatan,Jamez all targets - excellent if all interested
  • Giggs may be offered a role in backroom staff, he will reject it and leave - ​ good
 
Getting rid of Bastian would be criminal. He was marshalling the midfield everytime he played, and still has few good years in him.

A lot of people seem to be thinking that just because Bastian can't run as much as he used to, he's suddenly useless. He can still run for days and cover a lot of ground, he just can't run as much as when he was 27 and basically a human machine. It infuriates me to no end.
