I think it’s a combination of things. Sure, the wingers aren’t good enough. But I would argue a bigger affect on attacking play, is either the wrong run or the wrong timing of the run that makes the balls into the box look worse. Anyhow, at this point, even marginal gains are needed.
Victor Osimhen

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran discuss a horrific month of December and a depressing FOUR defeats in a row - the latest coming against Wolves and Newcastle.
They discuss how much blame is on Ruben Amorim and rank our squad against other Premier League teams.
Do we have any chance of avoiding defeat at Anfield?
“Feck you never wanted you anyway. Couldn’t hit a barn door”
What have we become?
That’s my bad, it was supposed to go into the Olmo thread and didn’t realise
Sorry!No ST Is getting done in January unless it’s a bad loan deal like the Weghorst one. ST is the hardest position to get mid season. Who’s letting go of someone that’s banging in goals for them.
I hope it was down to a sensible offer from United being rejected.
My initial reaction was to dismiss this as fake but it’s actually probably true, thinking about it. He’s going to be available soon and we need a striker. It’s a good fit in many ways. I’d imagine that Omar Berrada and co have spoken to the player and probably had some discussions with Napoli (not just about him but possibly also Rashford and Shaw).
He’s very well paid at Napoli. Apparently Chelsea and United are his two favourite childhood teams but he turned down Chelsea in the Summer (though they lowballed him quite significantly). I would suspect that we’ve indicated a fairly reserved wage as an opening gambit and he’s replied that it’s not even close.
It also makes sense for him to stay at Gala for the season and wait and see whether United shapes up in a better way.

What did he reportedly demand from Chelsea in the summer ?
I wouldn't take any notice of centredevils.
This is what I keep saying about our fans, if that same source said Osimhen ready to join, you wouldn't belive it and you'd say "let Ornstein or Romani confirm it" but something negative and you believe it instantly.
Something like 450k a week. Chelsea told him where to go. That’s how he ended up playing in Turkey. Burnt his bridges in Napoli and with transfer demands.
Maybe its a good thing he reportedly rejected us. Maybe we're finally getting tough in the market.
A club attempting to put a realistic wage structure in place?
For a player that's desperate to leave Napoli, he sure loves rejecting moves away.
Christ almighty, another Alexis Sanchez. No thanks.
Glad we didn't go for this prima Donna, 200k p/w max.
IF this is true (big if) we would already know his wage is exorbitant.
Who would be the ideal striker for this system?
“United want you Victor”
“Cool. I want 150k though”
“They can’t afford more than 95k”
“No then”
”UNITED IN THE MUD!!”
“Cool. I want 150k though”
“They can’t afford more than 95k”
“No then”
”UNITED IN THE MUD!!”
Didn't want to shag him anyway...
He would definitely demand more than £150k
We probably don’t have 95k either
Always wanted Gyokeres anyway.
These are contradictions. In the first one we are in contact with representatives, will meet personal demands and just need to hash it out with the club. In the other, we have agreed with the club, but Osimhen says no?
What's next? Osimhen wants to come, deal not a problem, but Amorim says no? Club hierarchy and player keen, but Sir Jim feels we need someone English?
No one knows anything.
Wouldnt be surprised that players turn down the possibility of joining a relegation battling side.
I'd love to see more news in future about players rejecting us because we're not agreeing to their obscene wage demands
Thank you - I was rather proud of that post

It’s superb you should be.
There’s a half-empty bottle of whiskey in the cabinet and I suspect the request to update Dalots Wikipedia page might get fulfilled this afternoon
Shame he isn’t like Ohgalo - a die hard Utd fan just desperate to play for us…..
He is supposedly a childhood United fan, but he's also a fan of money.
We're forgetting that Raheem Sterling was a diehard childhood United fan, and he's played for Liverpool, City, Chelsea and Arsenal
I don't really have any concerns over his attitude. He messed up his last chance for a big move and as a result has ended up in Turkey.
However I like the way he got his head down and has gone about his business playing football.
I doubt he will mess up another chance to get a big move.

It's been reverted
Got Garnacho a Puskas.
I’ve got one, just a bit too retarded and drunk to know how to post it
Because he had to completely readjust his position in order to get to the ball!
