You mean same those 3 best players who got us into top 4 with ease, while they played fantastic football and giving their best? Those best 3 players?

De Gea, Pogba, Lukaku.

Look how many goals Lukaku has scored for Belgium because he gets the service and has decent wingers who can get past a player and more importantly deliver a ball into the box.

Pogba will be wanted by any club in the world. Blaming him for this season’s problem is a complete joke and once he’s gone people can then blame the shit like Young, Smalling and Lingard who are a constant (for years) in our starting 11. They are the ones we need to get rid off not our best players.

You can argue both for and against.

Lukaku is highly effective if you use him correctly - but it will always be easier for him with Belgium being top-3 in the World - and a LOT better than 95% of all teams they play.

And I am not blaming Pogba for our season - but you don't have to be a brilliant manager to see that the gap between his best and his worst is far too big. And at the end of the season when we struggled - a player like Pogba who can be World-class should have lifted the team - he didn't-

My thoughts exactly. Also are we hiding behind this buy young British talent because we cant actually get the top class talent we want due to us being pretty shit. I would rather this honesty than some high moralistic approach we are going by now.

We know it’s the truth, but they’d never come out and say it.

Cause I’ve never seen Bruno play.

No one has, but everyone claims to be an expert on him.

I've only seen him play in the Nations League semifinal and final, and the only thing I remember thinking is, "Gee, I wish we'd signed that Bernardo Silva guy."

forgive me for being dumb, but what is "off 5"? is that like a handicap?
Click to expand...

Yeah, means he gets 5 shots off whatever score he shoots. Most pros would be off ~+5(have to make up 5 shots a round) if they had handicaps. 90% of people with coordination could get to 5 with the money he has.

For Manchester fecking United, 100% yes. Injured, 9 first team appearances for Newcastle. Sounds a bargain at £25m to me. Some of you have forgetten what this club is.

Real Madrid sign Hazard, Mendy and Jovic in a week and we are sat here with a Championship LW we didn't even need.

You’re bang on here mate. It’s excruciating as a fan that wants this club to return to where we belong to see us squandering yet another transfer window. This I the first summer where I’ve seen such a lack of ambition from our fan base on here.

It's crazy right. As for a British core we have Rashford and McTominay as first teamers then Gomes, Garner, Greenwood are a being eased into the team. This summers signings James and soon AWB. Right now we need players who are ready to perform.

Arsenal have a small budget and Chelsea lost one of the best players in the world and have a transfer ban in place. Most teams with our resources would take this chance to make a significant gap between us and those 2 clubs. But look at us as we somehow find a way to be worse than them 2.

Nailed it there. And we aren’t looking like signing anyone who is capable of doing that.

Such a great offer, people, believe us, it's so good. When the got this amazing generous offer, they were like "wow, Celtic really understands me, bigly". Dan Turnpike and his team were so impressed when the saw it. They couldn't believe it. They were just like "this is crazy, like wow". #nocollusion.

Thats not true.
Rabiot, AWB, Maguire (even though I don't rate him) are all players who have been playing top flight football and are ready to perform IMO. We have also been linked to plenty of others. You also need to build a squad though we need players like James and Longstaff as our current rotation options (Lingard, Fred) are not good enough

After seeing big Signings like
Sanchez , Di Maria, Falcao , Lukaku , mhiki, Fred , and some would even argue Pogba come here and under achieve maybe people are happier to see younger players with potential and a bit of hunger about them than Players who want ridiculous wages and are more about their Instagram pages than whether United return to the top. I agree it's a little underwhelming but this team needs to be built again

Agreed. Whenever we get linked with a player suddenly everyone’s decided they’re a perfect fit and will solve all our issues without ever seeing them kick a ball.

So this is how clubs are going to negotiate now?

Doubt it. Pitching players against their agents through social media is hugely arrogant and pretty stupid.

Celtic are probably estimating that they are big enough to do within the context of the transfer but if Barca tried it to Mino over De Ligt, it wouldn’t end well.

Never seen him play, but if Celtic are willing to kick up this much of a stink and embarass themselves for a 19YO on a £3m transfer, lets have a look at him. £3m is practically free.

Ole wasn't kidding when he said he wanted home grown talent. Let's hope he's played a blinder here. Not going to write anyone off before they bleeding sign like some melts on here.

I hope they are all a success but I really do hope we aren't just blindly going after British kids cos they're British. Quality should always be the aim over nationality.

Not sure why you think the players will have "hunger" when we've literally had the same issues with Rashy and Lingard.
 
Nou_Camp99 said:
When Carrick and Rio were at Westham did you think they were rubbish too? Probably.

Robertson at Hull? Winjaldum at Newcastle? Both relegated to Championship. Can't be good enough for Liverpool surely?

You can't judge a player on who they play for.

It's not a problem in isolation but as a whole policy, it's concerning.
