Massive Spanner
The Football Wrench
I can imagine the same posters still in this thread a decade from now when he’s in Saudi or Qatar and still clamouring to bring him back.
Are we still into that topic? I thought we were back to talking football in regard to Mason.
TrueHe still is but he's also been very good at beating his full back and putting dangerous balls into the box for Getafe. For us, he shot pretty much every time he bought himself some space. Now, he's much more varied in terms of also looking to pick out his teammates. He really should have a few more assists already because he's created so many chances by doing this.
Yeah but Rashford has never had his partner record him doing what definitely sounded like having sex with her against her will, so I'm not sure putting in a good cross from the other flank really offsets that.He’d be a lot better in this team than Rashford.
Are you watching at the moment? Rashford has been fine so far. And I'd much rather have a lackadaisical rashford than an alleged woman beating attempted rapist.He’d be a lot better in this team than Rashford.
You're right. To me he still looks a bit rusty...He played an important role for 2 of the goals but it was one of his more quieter games when compared with some of the other games.
Where do you think I said he would do that?
The question was "what would he have to do?"
A quiet game with great involvement for 2 goals. That sounds Messi-esque.He played an important role for 2 of the goals but it was one of his more quieter games when compared with some of the other games.
HyperboleI don’t think I was replying to you.
I don’t care, I’d be fine with him coming back. And I think most people are. The main issue is that it gives other teams too much of a stick to hit us with.

Of course you fall on that side of the argument.Playing football it does
Yeah, that would definitely be the main issue!I don’t think I was replying to you.

Hyperbole
Few more new heads being raised in this thread that clearly don't care what he did and want him back, because ya know, football is more important than anything else.
Congratulations on entirely missing the point.How? There’s been a poll that completely supported his view.
Isn't it just plain weird how football fans want to watch the best football players play football for the football club, so that the football club is successful at the sport of football! Bizarre stuff.
The poll here? That showed that, of the people who view this thread regularly enough to notice that there was a poll in the relatively short time it was up, between 50% and 60% (right?) would like to see him back. Says nothing about the fanbase as a whole, and you could even argue it doesn't represent the caf.How? There’s been a poll that completely supported his view.
Where was this poll that completely supported the view that everyone wants him back?How? There’s been a poll that completely supported his view.

I find it absolutely disgusting and disturbing that people just want to ignore the context and stick to only his football prowess. It makes me question what else they’d turn a blind eye to in real lifeHonestly I've never felt more disjointed from Man Utd fans than I have in this thread.
The man threatened to rape a woman at the very least (this does not happen in a vacuum very often). This isn't about second chances and cancel culture and all that nonsense. I don't feel I would comfortably feel happy seeing a man score goals for my club when I've literally heard him threatening to rape a woman.
How are so many seeing past this? Yes he is a very decent player but how does that not destroy any enjoyment? Its confusing and sad to me.
I dont hate him, there are a lot of terrible people on the world and I don't have the energy to dislike them all. I just don't wish to cheer them on weekly.
It shouldn't matter but he isn't even that bloody good.
Immaturity is a big driving factor in why young men engage in criminal behaviour more than any other group of people, so I don’t see that as minimising what happened.

You were literally quoting me. You highlighted part of my post in bold.I don’t think I was replying to you.

Playing football for United it doesn't.Playing football it does

I mean there were literally Geordies walking around in full Saudi royalty regalia after the takeover. That's not even something that hasn't already happened.The way a lot of you go from 0 to 100 with the hyperbole is quite something "It makes me question what else they’d turn a blind eye to in real life", "They would be arguing his right to commit genocide if he scored a couple of winners"

What about the hyperbole rife in this thread like "we all make mistakes when we are young/he was just immature" and "most people want him back"?The way a lot of you go from 0 to 100 with the hyperbole is quite something "It makes me question what else they’d turn a blind eye to in real life", "They would be arguing his right to commit genocide if he scored a couple of winners"
Yep spot on with what I would've replied back to him with.Isn’t it just plain weird how some football fans know the difference from right and wrong, and how some things are more important than football?
Nobody knows that and that holds true for everybody on this forum .I find it absolutely disgusting and disturbing that people just want to ignore the context and stick to only his football prowess. It makes me question what else they’d turn a blind eye to in real life
While ignoring all other circumstances surrounding the player? Yes, it is absolutely weird.Isn't it just plain weird how football fans want to watch the best football players play football for the football club, so that the football club is successful at the sport of football! Bizarre stuff.
No it is absolutely not weird for a normal person with any moralsWhile ignoring all other circumstances surrounding the player? Yes, it is absolutely weird.
Yep I agree with every word here.Who cares what happens outside football? I mean what's wrong with being a scumbag rapist sex offender or domestic abuser as long as you're scoring goals right?
Some people need to have a long hard look at themselves if football is more important to them they're prepared to turn a blind eye to sexual abuse.
The people calling for Greenwood to come back and play for United should be ashamed of themselves. I would question what else they would be okay with if sexual and domestic abuse is a small price to pay for a few goals at the weekend.
