What the fork.
Confirmation bias
Are you part of Generation Z by any chance? Because that's the only reason I could ever think of someone calling one of the greatest talents ever to play the game the biggest Youtube player of all time.
And the saga continues...
Sky really are a joke these days. Still so pissed they got the PL rights back from DAZN.massive twats, knew it.
Muppets dead everywhere
Yeah it was a fake account for feck sake
Cocks back in lads
The incompetence
Great alliteration
Not something I’d like to see
Was YouTube even around when Zidane was playing?
Saga continues. Find out what happens on the next episode of Woodward FC.
Did he sign!
ignoring the tragedy that is Sky Germany, just saw this being brought up again by SW:
add that to the clip with the door and that's the kind of mentality I want to see in a United player.

He ain't going to like anyone who posts on social media after a loss.
Also the now-deleted Sky Germany blurb for posterity:
No, he deserves most things, but rolling out that line EVERY single time we are linked with a player is exactly what I mean. I'm sorry, but how stupid do you think DoFs and negotiators in football are? They don't need to hear Woodward say a thing to know we have the capacity to spend huge in the market. It doesn't make a blind of difference, and no amount of regurgitation of the phrase is going to change that.
Good. I would be over the moon if he was a real character and didn’t put up with any shite.
In a way we need characters and leaders as much as we need more quality.
Exactly, bro. That the f***ing kind of attitude we need, bro.
Might be best for Jesse to stay in the club shop until Raiola gets him a move somewhere.
I've been reading that Sporting won't let him go until the Derby with Benfica on Friday. Kind fo makes sense. Woddie will announce it on Monday after Liverpool thrash us.
Other than gut-instinct and the somewhat trained human eye, there is no known measurement to determine which is the greater player.
Imagine we could use a stats-based system similar to FM. We'd never make a bad signing again.
Its the transfer season.We're on the verge of World War 3 and you're making these posts?
Thats the spirit.
That's not true. There are all sorts of measurements and analytics and Liverpool use them very well as do many other teams in many sports.
He's got a touch of the Roy Keane's about him, hasn't he?
Exactly the kind of character this squad needs right now. He'll fit in nicely alongside Mctom and the hard working Fred.
Yeah, but no known measurement exists that is without question.
Unless you know of one that is.
There wouldn't be a single measurement, no, that would be moronic. It's about taking a holistic approach and using everything available, but a lot of player recruitment is now data driven. Moneyball's a good place to start with this, etc.
Yeah I think this is what will happen. Especially if we lose to wolves cause after Liverpool inevitably give us a hiding there is only two options for Woody. Sign a much needed player to appease the fans or fire Ole considering our poor run. Obviously the latter won't happen so if Woody don't sign him their will be war at old Trafford and rightly so.
Yeah this will drag on and will be our only potential signing. Not enough no matter if we get him or not.
Couldn't agree more. We need to be in search of game changers, potential balloon d'or winners, and that's no easy task, especially since playing for United isn't as an exciting prospect as it was years ago. I fear we will lose out on players because they choose an option which is better for their career.
Signings bad players who are slightly better than what is currently available is the definition of a small time club, not a club who is aiming to win the premier league in a few years.
This thread has more emotion in it than an old episode of Oprah.
Ah, yes. Written by a man with an esteemed background in football-related transactions. I’m willing to estimate that the buying and selling of football
players is a little more nuanced than that.
I haven't seen Moneyball, but I'm aware of the concept the movie is based on - if a little unfamiliar with its inner-workings. Perhaps you could explain it if you have time.
If such a system existed that safely determined the ability of one player to the next, every sports club in the known world would adopt it. But that is not the case.
It would have to be near-infallible in order to overtake the trained human eye.
If he plays against Benfica on Friday then we're nowhere near signing him. No way a deal as large as this would be risked.
