simonhch replied to the thread Joshua Zirkzee | signed for Manchester United.An excellent, intelligent signing at the price we are paying. It’s really weird to see us do smart business.

simonhch replied to the thread Jarrad Branthwaite.I agree with you that I doubt Everton are panicking. It’s just about risk management for them. They can get a good fee in for a homegrown talent and eradicate any PSR concerns they have for the foreseeable future, if they compromise on the fee...

simonhch replied to the thread We need 2 new CMs. Who do we sign?.Olmo is a wonderful player, especially to watch, but he’s just not needed at United. His best position is in attacking midfield where we have Bruno and Mount. Adding Olmo is just daft when we have a dearth of players capable of playing in the...

simonhch replied to the thread Your realistic lineup for Fulham.Onana Dalot ___ De Ligt ___ Branthwaite ___ Martinez Ugarte ___ Mainoo Garnacho ______ Fernandes ______ Rashford Hojlund Subs: Turkish GK, Shaw, Maguire, Kambwala, McTominay, Eriksen, Mount, Amad, Antony, Zirkzee All of which shows you that...

simonhch replied to the thread Joshua Zirkzee | signed for Manchester United.More likely that the 50m is PSR headroom. So it’ll be just over 40m euros amortised over the length of his contract. 5 years. So likely around 6.5-7m out of our budget for this year.

simonhch replied to the thread Was it a penalty?.I do. Just like all the negative comments. Things like “at least the final has one team that tries to play football”. Like the final would’ve been better with Holland in it…..after they just parked the bus for 70% of the semi final and only...

simonhch replied to the thread Was it a penalty?.Stonewall penalty. That’s a foul anywhere on the field. Hence a penalty. I don’t even see how this is a debate. Dumfries should have picked up a second yellow for his subsequent foul on Foden five minutes later, that the referee didn’t catch.

simonhch replied to the thread Mitchell van der Gaag….Why the certainty that his thinking can’t evolve? He was excellent at setting up a defence 25 years ago to respond to the threats posed at the time. Why can’t he set up a defence now to counter different threats? It’s pretty limited thinking to...

simonhch replied to the thread Ollie Watkins.I completely agree with you. A player like Watkins making runs into the channels and getting in behind, really opens up space for Foden and Bellingham to move into, as well as options for forwards passing. Spain like to play a high line at...

simonhch replied to the thread Gareth Southgate.Southgate has taken so much criticism and shit talking. Some, or even much, deserved. But now is not the time for that. Back to back Euro finals is a wonderful achievement and the man deserves his moment here. If he can get England over the line...

simonhch replied to the thread Final | Spain vs England.Tons of negativity, which is a little disappointing. England can win this. It’s one game, anything can happen. Spain are great but their defence can be got at, and then tend to turtle up when they go ahead. They are far from invulnerable. I also...

simonhch replied to the thread Semi-finals | Spain vs France | Netherlands vs England.Amazing! Emotionally exhausting two hours. So happy!

simonhch replied to the thread Manuel Ugarte | Romano - he’s signed | Awaiting Club announcement.Really great video. Thank you.

simonhch replied to the thread Mason Mount | 2024/25 Performances.People forget what a good player he actually is. He’s had to deal with some serious fitness problems the last year or so, but if he can get back on track health wise, then he is a fantastic rotational player for us. He has enough quality to...
