ive not kept up with things mate on here so god knows what drivel he has been posting, been too busy working, making a baby and doing a website. how you been pal?

Everyone was terrible. Says a lot about the end of the season that I don't care. Sanchez needs to stay on the right. And we need new full backs, that or Jose needs to change his instructions

Really think FBs would transform this team. Valencia while good defensively offers no end product 8/10 and doesn’t seem quite as quick understandably. Young while good going forward always wants to cut inside and we lose our width. And he’s solid defensively but poor positioning. And Shaw is good defensively and can offer width and get to the bye line his crossing is poor.

Congrats on the little one mate. Hope all goes well! Anything interesting on the site? Been good apart from being diagnosed with dangerously low blood platelets. And just had a bone marrow biopsy still keeping up on the boxing though

I've removed him. He's never offered anything but ranting gibberish. We all take a dig at Z sometimes, but he's nothing like him, he's a genuinely good poster who at least articulates and tries to back up his views, regardless of whether we agree or not, and there is always a genuine discussion to be had around z's points

Z's like a little brother. We like to joke with him, kick him from time to time, treat him "specially", but deep down, we all like him.
Compare him to Scouse. I strongly disagree with Scouse on so many bases, but difference is - Scouse is proper football fan, who loves football and attends most, if not all L'pool games. That guy offers nothing, he's probably a moderator on RedCafe.

Personally I think all of you are the same person who keeps posting from 30 different accounts.

Beat me to it. Was going to let him off until I saw his post history. Good god.

would love my team to be in crisis and have all the players regress whilst being second in the league hahahahahaha you couldn't make this up

Oeh if only Leeds could have this. .sighttt (dont cry dont cry)

I think your game can be summed up with Pogbas handball

Anderlecht look set to sign 19yo #mufc GK lias Moutha-Sebtaoui - he played in goal for #rsca v Brentford B on Friday@ Scoutsinattendance.

Shame promising keeper but can’t stay fit. Good luck to him!

Don't follow this man's example. It'll lead you to no money and some very ****** females through your life and other opportunities you should never have lost.

On the other hand, you'll have what money can't buy and what the game is all about. Memories and moments.

One day, he might grow up.

So the inevitable relegation to PL2 that’s been on the cards for 2 seasons now was confirmed with Derbys win this avvy.

Something gone MAJORLY wrong there considering all the money Utd have been throwing at the youth ranks.

Npt really. The under 18s are much stronger than the under 23s, And Ricky has been awful as u23 coach

We haven’t bought any players for the u23s for god knows how long. All the investment has been at u18 level and lower the last 2 seasons. All we’ve done this year is give some of the better more slightly developed and older u18s game time at a higher level. And shipped out all the good u 23s our on loan.

Next season I will be surprised if more than 7 of the current u23 lot will be here. It will be a start of a new cycle for the academy and u23s in particular. It will be basically full set of current u18s playing u23 football next season except a very small amount of the current u23s. Also expect more investment at u18 level and lower again in the Summer.

All relative though isn't it being the bridge below the first team? A lot of those 17/18-year-old investments then make up the 23's.

Simply put, there isnt the same level of talent in the under 23s. The best are already on loan and most of these guys still here arent making it. The investment has gone into the level below, its these guys that are looking really promising

 

[Tyton]

Yeah I don't know much about United's u23, but I would imagine that in most clubs players in those teams are a basically rejects. I mean, if you're really talented, at that age you should be already knocking on the first team door or at least play professional football somewhere on a loan instead dicking around in a youth team.

**** and Murtaugh recently said that if kids at Utds academy aren’t knocking on the 1st team door by the age of 20/21 then there likely to never make it at Utd.
