A Tigers a nice pet if he doesn't eat you.
I know Coutinho flopped hard at Barca but can we try for him on Loan for a year, would improve us and piss the scousers off massively
This would be fine if we were somewhat attractive to top players. Going to have to overspend on talent if we want to catch up (or luck into some youth development which is probably what we'll do since we've become cheap these past few summers).
If only there was a talented and creative midfielder who was determined to join us...
More than half of these reports are just pure fantasy from the journos. Not sure w
I think people just want to moan.
We have a thread moaning about how embarrassing united are in the market and then you have people wanting us to get rejected by an ex scouser.
I think people just want to moan.
All the journalists saying who were not after, nobody cares. Tell us who we actually are after maybe...
What's more embarrassing, being possibly rejected by another player or going into the season with old man Mata and Jesse Lingard as our 10 options wanting to play 4231?
Has to go down as Di Marzio's worst story of the summer (which takes some doing). Obviously fabricated clickbate nonsense.
A puppet who was the only player to speak out against the Glazers in 2005? Yeah, some puppet...
Say what you want about Ole, but the one thing that can't be denied is how selflessly dedicated he is to the club. He's doing everything he can but is constrained by Ed & Co. Even so, his positivity during this time, and his faith and belief in the youngsters has been admirable. How you can use it as a stick to beat him with beggars belief.
I actually like this stance of if you're only coming for the money, don't bother.
Can we get him a British passport?
As it stands, it's either a magical U-turn on Dybala/Eriksen, or we are interested in Bruno afterall... Or a brand new target will emerge and be signed within roughly 24 hours... And has that ever happened before for us?
Basically, I'd be surprised if we buy anyone new at this point.
Yes I am, as they were motivated primarily by money and not playing for the shirt, exactly the same scenario with Dybala and Eriksen (maybe not money but he'd rather play for Real). Di Maria never had a great impact on the team at all, that's nonsense, he floundered when the going got tough and wanted to upsticks.
If we carry on giving in to whatever wage and agent demands are for world class players like you want, then we'll stay in the rut we're in. If we sign players who's main motivation is playing for Manchester United, we will get out of the rut and be able to build the squad into a world class yet motivated one.
it's strange how no one wants to buy these fantastic players from us.
I feel exactly the same.
Mourinho had 'acolytes'
Van gaal was a 'charlatan'
Solskjaer is a 'yes man' and most nonsensical of all, a 'shill' which has nothing to do with how posters seem to use it.
Managers can't win with our fan base. They are lightning rods of many legitimate frustrations and the narrative of what makes them bad managers is painfully predictable.
James Maddison might have fancied it, but would have been too expensive. Most foreign players won't be dreaming of United after the shambles of the last six years.
We'll have to make do with no midfield this season. The return of Fergie's famous doughnut formation.
Fixed that for you.
Signing big name mercenaries is literally what people were complaining about until a few weeks back now people want them
Although I agree with the decision to back away from players who are not 100% committed to the club, I don't understand why we're briefing the press on players before we're certain they want to come. There are only 2 reasons I can think of, first is Woodward trying to appease fans that he's trying everything to get players in, or that they trying to rid themselves of an image as a soft touch in negotiations with clubs/players. Neither quite rings true though as surely the main effect is to lower the prestige of the club.
This idea will see us dwelling down in 6th once again.
Now why would you go and bring reason and facts into this conversation? You’re ruining it for all the mental posts from people who actually know Ole personally like the poster you quoted, how else could they be sure of their less than flattering personal characteristics of him?A puppet who was the only player to speak out against the Glazers in 2005? Yeah, some puppet...

Better late than never.
My point remains. You moan we are embarrassing but want us to openly be embarrassed by an ex scouser who will have no desire to come to United.
Strange mindset
I'm very confident Ole is totally different in private to the face he shows the media.
Rio and others have said he isn't this nice guy he's portayed to be and he's not afraid to give a bollocking when needed.
I'm constantly baffled why people think he should come out publicly with negative comments, undermining the teams confidence and bad mouthing his employers. It makes no sense whatsoever.
It's more likely to be the agent or the selling club briefing journalists to use our name and drum up interest in the player.
Because signing players that just wanted money worked so well for us.
Let's develop players. Trust our youth system. Add good players who want to take us back to the top and then the top players will want to come again. We cannot afford to be a cash cow for players who don't give a shit.
Anyone insulting Ole because he's going to stay dignified and professional even though we won't get in every player we need needs to shut the feck up.
It's called being a grown up, would people rather Ole sulk and self sabotage the way Mourinho did?

He's already said given his Scouse past he won't play for United. Quite right too.
So looks like another year of fighting for top 4 and top 6 if Everton and Wolves find form.
Yep, it's a sad state of affairs when you envy Leicester's midfield. Maddison, Tielemans and Ndidi would all improve us.
Or the player rejected us and were trying to spin it to be the other way round?
Happy for Welbeck - seems like a really nice guy.
Yeah, but he's seemingly happy here. He's not cut a sulky figure in any of his appearances, he's been vocal and active on social media, there are literally no hints anywhere that he's even a little peeved at his situation. It's understandable that you're worried, but if you look at it objectively I don't see anything to cause alarm.
Just look at how he played yesterday. If he was in anyway shape or form unhappy, his demeanour on the pitch yesterday playing for the reserves would have shown it. He didn't show it at all, he genuinely seemed delighted being out there and his play reflected it.
This is just a myth. The only player who has badly flopped is Sanchez, due to his age and legs not being the same. ADM would have worked out fine if LVG hadn’t been so stubborn.
I thought the stories were mostly coming from sources close to the club. I may be wrong though.
It's a forum full of cry-babies. Never known anything like it.
That's not the point I was making, why are we leaking to the press before knowing if the player will accept or reject the move.
