You said he put himself first. He talked about the club and Sir Bobby (the two things he apparently places after himself) before the quote you take umbrage with. The quote was, furthermore, a specific response to a question about how he's handled himself the last few months.
What you essentially think is irrelevant the point I made was when he talks he puts himself first, which he did in that moment. You can keep your furthermores because no one has said he didn’t talk about Manchester United or Sir Bobby at length.
Yeah and I admit I laughed when Upamecano made an error and the German or whatever commentator called him Upamaguire.
These are two posts that show you defending Sancho. You'll go on to claim they're not, that you're simply saying that others in the squad are blah blah but if you're not defending Sancho in that thread I'm interested to hear what your posts, specifically in the Sancho thread, are doing? Which is when you'll talk about nuancing the debate and not defending per se. At which point you'll march into the Harry Maguire thread and call him a narcissist. Very nuanced.
Firstly, this isn’t the relevant thread.
You spend a post telling me what I’m going to do then ask a question, a further response would be redundant as my numerous clarifications don’t fit your narrative.
Ok, you're right, we're at an impasse. You ask me for things, I provide them, then you say it's the wrong thread. I don't understand your take on either player but I don't think either of us is changing the other's mind. For what it's worth, I do appreciate the cordial responses - fundamentally I think we're not too far apart in our takes on both situations.
Same.
There's no Mc in his name
Not everyone can face the difficult situation in an appropriate way and manner as what you just witness here, right?
Any player that is happy to be just a squad player is not a player that should be at Man United, every player should expect to be in the team, obviously that isn't possible, but they shouldn't be happy about it
I say sign him up if that’s true. Always tough though since Varane was tearing it up for Real Madrid so you never know how players react to a bigger platform.
Really shows the toxic nature of social media. He's a good but not great CB, would start for most mid table and under clubs and a few higher up but has a couple of big weaknesses which are pace/mobility and I would argue he's not aggressive enough. Take that same player, whack an £80m price tag on him, hound him for years on social media for any mistake and basically bully him and you get that same good but not great player but without any confidence and probably second guessing everything he's doing. Then take that nervous wreck of a good to great player and put him in an erratic team who can't score goals for toffee and you create what we see now.
Yeah his quotes and him cupping his ears when he scored for England show him to be a bit naive but it’s far better than players like Sancho, Ronaldo etc who are genuinely toxic. Maguire, as you say, just hasn’t been as good as people expect from a CB but then again so have many other players.
Happy about this are you?!
Yes, you've unmasked me, I'm delighted we've been embarrassed yet again with his guy in our defence
Especially when we were getting pummelled when he was playing under previous managers.
Man City - conceded 3
Because his ability to direct the ball with his head is terrible. Both in our and the opponent's box.
Sometimes the ball comes straight back to him and he does the same thing again. He's being doing for years, so I find it hard to believe no coach has brought it up with him.
