    Imagine having a forward in your squad that can score goals. Couldn't be us.
    Yet we have a forward in our squad who's been investigated over the same thing (or possibly worse), who only gets crap because he doesn't score, not the allegations like Greenwood.

    It's a very weird world.

    It wasn’t a couple of million it was 10M and he has been utterly useless. It was a truly insane fee for a loan player unless you are loaning fecking Messi.
    At least he actually was available to play football.

    And how much did Mount cost us this season then? 60m fee, on top of ridiculous wages.

    Manchester United at Oldtrafford against no. 19 in the league, and we were not good enough to win or dominate the game.

    I would seriously like to know exactly how many points of 0nana has caused us this season. How many more games is he going to cost us? He is absolutely terrible at times.
    How many has he saved us?
    He's one of the best goalkeepers in the league...literally.

    2nd most amount of saves, 3rd highest save %, 5th in CS's, 3rd most shots on target faced (only behind Luton and Sheffield have faced more)...

    Agenda FC.

    Surely we are better off with no Europe at all. Give the year for the new team and manager (most likely) to gel and work together. Focus sorely on top 3 (really to win it)

    De Gea was a coward coming for the ball. Onana is reckless. I’m fairly sure De Gea not coming for simple balls in the air costs goals just Onana has caused a penalty today. De Gea got bullied by strikers several times and didn’t get calls because he was so weak.

    Neither are good enough at dealing with crosses so I’m not sure it was a downgrade to be honest.
    We had kind of accepted what DDG was bringing, or not bringing to the table having been here so long. If Onanas recklessness and DDG being a pussy in the box cancel each other out we still don't get any of the catlike reflexes which allowed DDG to routinely make some very difficult saves that we were taking for granted until the very end. Still a massive net downgrade.

    No, he's cost us 12m + wages this season. Transfer fees are amortized over the life of the contract.

    I still think we’d be a lot better off with DeGea in the team. Our revolutionized attack with a keeper comfortable playing on the halfway mark has been underwhelming, to say the least.

    With how much work onana is doing he will probably slip up at one point as to be expected. Ugh, then he will get the blame ha
    This was so obvious btw. We are so good at playing to our weaknesses

    Well, you did specifically reply to me and say that "everyone" here were raving about him.
    Even questioning why I was complaining as if I never had before.

    Maybe don't do that if you knew that we all didn't. Food for thought.
    It's not my fault if you're dyslexic and are incapable of any nuanced thinking, the kind that would allow you to grasp when someone was making a rhetorical point instead of getting defensive by being pointlessly pedantic.

    He's on a 5 year contract with wages of 250k a week.
    Correct, hence this season (which was the point you were making) his cost is 12m + wages.

    That's not to say he hasn't been a transfer flop - like many others I have no idea why we were in for him in the first place. Very poor allocation of scarce transfer resources.

    Then why did you reply to me specifically out of everyone and question why I was being critical of his loan, insinuating that I have only just started?

    You're a weird guy.

    Go away and have a good Sunday.

    So we're going to end up paying 60m + 65m in wages over the entirety of his stay. As opposed to the 8.6m and whatever amrabats wages for the year are.

    Does that sound like a fecking bargain to you? :lol:

    At the very least we can sack off amrabat in a few weeks time.

    Mount will be available next season and will still have resale value if he does not ultimately work out. The money we spent on Amrabat was flushed away on another teams player and again, the fee paid was outrageous for such a poor player.

    I didn't insinuate anything. Pardon me for quoting you to make what was a fairly general rather than an extremely specific point directed at you. That also does happen here quite a bit btw, something you'd understand if you weren't a n overly pedantic weirdo.

    Good day to you too.

    I didn't say it was a bargain. Both were shit transfers for different reasons. I was responding to your claims about how much they respectively cost this season.

    I think the theory was initially, that Mount would be covering the number 10 role as we had stretches last season where Bruno had to play on the wing and we had no players to cover.

    This season Bruno's been fit, we Bought Antony, Play Garnacho on the right sometimes, tried Pellestri and have kept Diallo, so Bruno never has to cover there.
    It's just very poorly planned out, unless we were expecting a huge shortage at RW for some reason.

    Mount STILL cost us far more this season than amrabat, who actually played ffs.

    Mental fecking gymnastics you're trying to perform.

    Are you woodward in disguise!?

    Resale value? Heard that one when we signed AWB, Martial, Lindelof, Maguire, bailly and the list goes on and on and on.

    I am yet to hear a decent explanation as to why playing out from the back, to a player with his face to goal 20 yards from goal is a good idea. Today these "smart" passes meant we lost the ball in dangerous positions 4 or 5 times. But luckily we werent punished

    Laurel and Hardy or Casemiro and Onana costed us the 3 points today.
    Perhaps but Onana was also arguably our best player. That save in the first half was unreal. We were utter shit with moments of brilliance and yet again it's on the manager.
