Mason Greenwood, Marseille Footballer | Read the thread rules in the OP before posting

Underwhelmed by the goal. Not surprised by the bump after he scored. Still can't believe any serious club hired him. Allthough, is Marseille a serious club..?

Yes

During the arrest and cps investigation wasn't he suspended? If so then it means he was suspended without pay right?

He was but it's very likely a typical clause in everyone's contract. We don't know if it was without pay though, but even if it was without pay, United can argue he breached certain clauses in his contract.
 
Being badly advised there

All United have to do is say that he was suspended for alleged very serious crimes. They were within their rights to suspend without pay if that’s what they did.

All kinds of stuff could come out if he takes that to court
 
Do You guys even read articles before commenting on them it doesn't seem that way .

Suspended on full pay, potentially would sue for a loss of “potential pay” which would include payments from sponsors who dropped him.

Stand by what I said, he’s best leaving it alone

It’s a good thing his career somehow wasn’t ruined, then. Or that he wasn’t innocent.

Thats the thing its Sun making shit up there are no sources and no actual encouragement for Greenwood camp as Mendy case against City was for unpaid wages which isn't applicable in United's case .

In that case Greenwood has no reason to sue.

Why are my posts removed? They are clearly in line with the OP rules. I'm just stating he is now the topscorer of Ligue 1. If that's not relevant in a player thread, then frankly I don't know what is.

beating such illustrious strikers as jonathan david and monsieur porcjardinier, owner of the largest farm in jura.

maybe don’t bump the thread when we’ve had a shit result, as if any of us with a moral compass care if a rapist could have scored a few extra goals for us.

A bunch of posts and the thread itself vanished for a few hours overnight. That was nice.

No posts for 2 months. One shit post that was warned then triggered a number of others. All were deleted as fruit of the poison tree.

If totally coincidentally you now feel the need to post in this thread to praise a scumbag like Greenwood on the same day then I guess you should go for it if it adheres to the rules in the OP.

And legal one. Legally and officially he isn't one, although that's hardly a saving grace in this situation.

Feel free to delete if this isn't appropriate but genuinely interested - why can we openly refer to Greenwood as one but when it comes to a certain north London midfielder we have to tiptoe around the allegation?

He is going to court and internet posts can interfere with the process. The other scumbag didn’t go to court. That’s the difference in why we don’t talk about the one from London
 
How is his current goal tally in France? Is it good enough for a bigger team to take notice in summer? We right now desperately need that bonus money with PSR looming above.

8 non penalty goals in 18 matches. Ignoring penalties (he has scored 4) as good as Evann Guessand and one better than Emanuel Emegha, Keito Nakamura and Hamed Junior Traore.

I suppose you need about 30 goals at least in France to have top teams notice.

Depends what you mean by a top team, I guess. Nkunku went to Chelsea after scoring just 16 goals in the Bundesliga. They signed Jackson after a career best 12 goals for Villareal.

I actually can't think of any Ligue 1 strikers who got a big move to compare him with....

Lacazette? Scored 28 in 30 league matches and then signed for Arsenal for £47.5m.

Mariano from Lyon to Real Madrid. People forget about him but he took the #7 from Ronaldo there.

He got 21 goals in his last season at Lyon. 18 in the league. He's a free agent now after leaving Sevilla.

I actually liked that Lyon team. Mariano formed a nice attack with Memphis, Traore and my favourite: Fekir. They also had another former United player in Rafael.
 
Although he's top scorer, the actual number of goals he's scored (excluding pens) is not that impressive but as far as I can tell he's not playing striker

That he won Ligue 1 POTM for December is probably a better indication of how he's playing

Hopefully he keeps it up and gets a bigger move in the summer to help our PSR situation
 
He is playing rather well.

I think, myself included, felt that it would have gone down a little easier if he had a slide into obscurity and didn't pick up where he left off in his development.

Outside of the moral indiscretions, and purely on a footballing perspective, it's obviously impressive to return to football and perform at that level, no matter who it is, because that long out the game is significant in terms of its potential to permanently set back development.

And only because I'm a terrible believer in reformation, my sincerest hope, above all, is that Mason's character has, and is, genuinely reforming. That's the best case scenario, at least in terms of human growth. Time will tell.
 
He’s an absolute knob, but i still find it interesting how little focus there was on Marcos Alonso, who did something a «bit» worse and happily continued his career in England without much spotlight on him.
 
Maureen-yo said:
Yeah, he’s on course for roughly mid to high 20’s though with 16 games to go.
Given that he’d not played for months before he moved, I think maybe some big Spanish clubs will be looking already

He had played a full season on loan in La Liga before he moved so lets not rewrite history. He is scoring goals as you would expect but in a lower level league and he continues to be a fairly lazy player who does not like to track back or exert himself other than around the penalty box, doubt his value has increased much at all over what Marseille paid considering his flaws and the baggage he brings with him.

The baggage becomes lighter by the day. He’ll soon be a carry on for a Ryanair flight

He wasn't playing in England (or for a club the size of Manchester United) when it happened and there.wasnt audio of him crashing and killing his friend. It still made the football news but barely anyone knew who he was at the time so ho fuss was really made.

When he moved to Chelsea a few years later he got "murderer" chanted at him every single game for his entire Chelsea career.

Whataboutery doesn't matter.

Greenwood had to go.

If he scores a billion goals abroad, or not.

Not sure why you’d need audio of him driving under the influence and killing a friend?
 
Acrobat7 said:
Because audible or visible evidence always causes more reactions.

If only they had audio so they would know he was driving under the influence, rather than the actual tests.

He drove under the influence, killed a passenger, got away with a fine and paying her family off. not much uproar in terms of permanently blocking him from playing professional Football or him getting prison time.

There were chants at football matches, however. The poor guy

Mate, I'm not saying he's not a POS. And my opinion on Greenwood is clearly stated here in the thread. I'm just saying that when presented with especially visual evidence, it logically always elicits a stronger response.
