The Manchester United Thread

[zzeezzy]

Bailly is a much better suited partner for Maguire than Lindelof, Ole just prefers the latter because he's more reliable in terms of fitness and injuries.

Regarding yesterday, Bailly played well and saved a certain goal, I think he's a good defender but he can be over aggressive and a liability in terms of injuries. Wouldn't say he's our answer at this point that's for sure.

The performance generally was disappointing, nice to see Rashford get a goal but honestly we were playing a tired Luton reserve team at that point. You'd expect any player we bring on by then to make a difference.

I've still got this nagging feeling we're not going to sign a RW, Woodward already getting the excuses in last UtD programme for Palace game, it's uncertain times and the pandemic blah blah! You've had us in debt from the start pal, don't bring out that BS now.

Don’t worry peeps signings are abreast ??

 

[zzeezzy]

I've even got doubts this board will cough up for Telles because they'll be thinking to themselves save money and sign him for free in January on a pre-contract for next summer.

Naw, we will sign atleast a LB, if not for anything else but fan backlash. I think we will make 2 more signings, one definitely a LB, the other remains to be seen. Don't think anyone was really confident we would sign Sancho except for ITK journalists. Oh well. Still think there will be 2 incomings, dunno. Maybe sign a CB out of the blue?

Yeah I’m in the same boat 2 more at least

A bit off topic, but I've been playing a United save on FM, and at the beginning I edited Avram Glazer to be unhappy and willing to sell the club. And some time later, he did. This is the result:

My new dude fixed United defense in one window.

Bit pricey there mate. I got De Ligt for less than that ?

I did not do anything, he bought two central defenders at the same time on his own as some promise when he was buying the club. 82m for Gimenez and 80m for Marquinhos. And now I have to wonder what to do with Ruben Dias who I bought for 40.5m ( btw, everything is in euros).

Ed Woodward would be proud ?

Not nearly as 'proud' as Giménez on that financial package. ?

You should see Marquinhos' contract.

*Matt Judge.

Funny thing, no one ever gives Matt Judge any flak and he's the one that actually negotiates the deals. I heard he once sat down with a potential target and asked the player what his name was.

 

[Scouseinthehouse]

€14.5 k for being an unused sub.

If Gareth Bale sees this and gets ideas 'Spurs could go and it won't be down to COVID!

Pereira, Jones and Rojo have to go down as three of the most stupid contract renewals we have ever done. Now just stuck with them...

Even Mata, 8 million a year and doesn't even make the bench now for most PL games, ridiculous decisions like this are costing us.

 

[Theatre of Dreams83]

TFM in talks with 2 German clubs. Actually one player I would keep. He’s on cheap wages. Can play 2/3 positions. And has actually been pretty good since the back end of last year. Rojo, Jones, Periera, Lingard, Romero should all be out the door first

I guess but I don't think TFM is any good honestly for the level we aim to be, if it means we have to ship a few players like him to get some deals done before the window closes, I'm all for it to be honest.

I get what your saying mate. But we ain’t gonna have a squad of 23/25 so called Utd level players. We also need some squad players that are good enough to play certain times. But also be happy not to be demanding mins and be on obscene wages.

I do understand having Mata around. Seasoned professional and is great to have in the dressing room

If he leaves, we're thin in the RB area.
