Does it? I'm not a native English speaker, but spine and spleen sounds pretty different to me.

Yes it does because English is a stupid mongrel language.

INE can make an AYN sound like spine or it can make a EEN sound.
For example, Marine. It’s not pronounced Mah-rhyn, it’s Mahreen.
Just to be extra confusing INE can also say IN-EE as in Aborigine, or also simple IN sound as in adrenaline.

Make of that what you will! Written language is hard! :lol:
 
I don't like this hype surrounding him. Feck sake. He's just a Portugese nobody. He was a shite football player and only got to where he is because of Jose connection. LEAVE RUBEN ALONE!! He is not a superstar. Just stop.

His hoodie is about £400. In case anyone else Google's this for no reason, having no interest whatsoever, just because

The Prada hoodie he had on monday was £4000…

Just the first day and he shows he likes to overpay for stuff…

:)
also does anyone get Daniel Ricciardo vibes from him ?

He's a cool bastard. I don't know why but when I saw that 'aura' video of him and saw him hopping out of a Porsche and it suiting him, I knew we had a real top dog on our hands.

It’s ok to say you fancy him, you won’t get in trouble :)
 
Where’d he get that grey jumper from? Probably look like a bag of shite on me but I like it
 
From now onwards into the feathery future, we are dedicated followers of… coool looking hairy guys?
 
Just in case, I vote that the caf censor "Bearded Fraud" and "Fashion Fraud" as a preemptive measure.
 
Release the MUTV interview already. I want to hear him tackle Stewart Gardner's hard-hitting questions. Amorim's first big test.

Oh, he's gone as well I see now.
 
I see a lot of potential line ups everywhere, on sky sports, fan channels and on here putting Garnacho at wing back...

I can't see him playing there. He's one of our biggest goal threats - you need him closer to goal.

Garnacho should be developed into a Salah, Sanchez type forward not as a wingback.
Amad being more a creator can play deeper.

Might need extra strong bonding for the dentures trying to make that sound.

So is a wingback or a pure midfielder or a winger what Amorim likes the most for the RM and LM spot? What’s been his preferences in the past?
Click to expand...

If you're talking about the 2 midfielders that play in front of the defensive line, his preference goes to pace. They're charged with covering most of the midfield, recovering possession and pressing opponents. What they do with the ball is less "important", he's used players like Matheus Nunes, who keeps the ball well and advances with it, or players that just receive and pass.

If you're talking about the 2 attackers/attacking midfielders behind the striker, his preference seems to be creative players. Number 10 types, that can assist, shoot, dribble, etc.

If you're talking about the wide players, that's more tricky. I'd say his main preference is probably speed/pace, as they're pretty much going to be running up and down the entire wing during the whole game. It's telling that a lot of his subs are these players, as it's normal that their stamina drops before the game ends.

Not a fan of the way the club socials are hyping him up. Let the man work first, before you whip our stupid gullible fan base into a frenzy.

It's just a video of his arrival, similar to the pictures that were published.

There is an international break, too, so you know that anything is the news whether the club wants it or not.

Fair enough, I was gonna write that English pronunciation doesn't really make sense but couldn't be bothered :lol: I have some familiarity with this as a linguist, languages in general have these stupid exceptions all the time. However, in this case I'd still say that -ine wouldn't work as it would be most likely to be read as you would read spine.

Cheers - How important is dribbling and crossing for a wide player in his system?

Do they dribble, or mostly just receive the ball after running "behind" the defence? What type of player is the perfect fit for this? A winger or a wingback? or a "pure" wide midfielder?

Hyping him up is stupid but understandable for a fanbase looking for a messiah. But I dont get how can you say he is a “nobody”, he has been the league winner multiple times as manager. Who cares how he was as a football player.

So was Ole (in Norway) and he even won the FA youth cup here, but he was still a physical Ed teacher to some.
Nobody is harsh but he still has plenty to prove, especially with a giant dinosaur of a club like United.

Yes that’s all I was saying, he wasn’t a “nobody in portugal”
