simonhch replied to the thread Final | Spain vs England.I think that’s a fair assessment. If we go a goal down I won’t be automatically doom laden because I think Spain will retreat a bit, and this England team seem to play their best football when they go behind. But….a second goal would end us...

simonhch replied to the thread Final | Spain vs England.Because there is an inherent feeling that we have the experience now to take the final step. We’ve experienced losing a final and can use that to win this one. Law of averages too. If you make two finals, you’d expect to win one of them. Getting...

simonhch replied to the thread Final | Spain vs England.:lol: Fair play. Classic post. Gave me more than a few chuckles. Don’t think we’ll get “pumped” though. England have more individual quality than Spain, just…. But Spain play as a more cohesive unit. Their defensive unit is extremely suspect...

simonhch replied to the thread Transfer Tweets - Manchester United - 2024/25.I agree. He routinely showed here that he wasn't good enough. In a highly structured system in the FA Cup Final he played pretty well, but it was an almost purely destructive role. What I would be interested to know, is how much he would cost...

simonhch replied to the thread Nicholas Williams | Bilbao winger.So Williams can be got for 49m pounds? If we get deals on the table for Sancho and Casemiro, there should be easily enough wiggle room to push through Ugarte, another CM and Williams. In addition to the CB signings. If we sign him to a 6 year...

simonhch replied to the thread Your realistic lineup for Fulham.:lol: Terrible, I know. I couldn’t remember how to spell his name, and at the time couldn’t be arsed to look it up.

simonhch replied to the thread Joshua Zirkzee | signed for Manchester United.Then you don’t really have an excuse for such ignorance. Ouch.

simonhch replied to the thread Joshua Zirkzee | signed for Manchester United.You and your statement might stand strong in your eyes, but that doesn’t make it any less half witted.

simonhch replied to the thread Jarrad Branthwaite.The net is 55m, which is what I am endorsing paying for him. I am fairly sure that is clear.

simonhch replied to the thread Casemiro (Out).Casemiro’s exit is probably key to our summer spending plans. Get a decent enough fee to negate his remaining book value and get his wages off the payroll. The savings will pave the way for two midfielders to come in. Ugarte plus one more. That...

simonhch replied to the thread Joshua Zirkzee | signed for Manchester United.I think Rasmus has some real competition on his hands this season, because he’s not a shoe in to start over Zirkzee. And that’s exactly how it should be. More of that all over the pitch please. During Fergie’s time here, we always had realistic...

simonhch replied to the thread Joshua Zirkzee | signed for Manchester United.it’s hard to know what to say to such reductive, half witted posts like that one. Absolutely spot on. That is, assuming you ignore every single detail. I am going to venture that you don’t actually know who either player is.

simonhch replied to the thread Joshua Zirkzee | signed for Manchester United.It’s funny because an exciting signing would be a big name, a bonafide raw wonderkid, or a virtuoso….but personally I find it much more exciting that we have signed a player that seemingly fits a tactical blueprint and provides us to a vastly...

simonhch replied to the thread Joshua Zirkzee | signed for Manchester United.I’m keeping my expectations low, but theoretically I agree with you. Rashford and Garnacho both look to get in behind and bear down on goal. Zirkzee as a more playmaking 9, has the theoretical potential to be a great fit for them both; playing...

simonhch replied to the thread Jarrad Branthwaite.Huh? No. I’d pay 70m for him and have them pay 15m for Hannibal and Kambwala. Meaning 55m net. It would help both teams with PSR and we could get some nice sell on clauses or performance related bonuses attached to the individual deals for...
