Players not on the match day Sqaud were allowed to leave early. Ronaldo was the only player on the match day Sqaud who left early.

Trevor012:
Greatest Dm of all time that was either dropped from the squad or riding the bench for his country in major tournament. Na only when he reach 30yrs ha be 31 self when top men done retire or drop form he begin manage see shirt.

aptly put. Even at that time Karembeu was considered the superior player in France to Makelele. He was one of the main players also keeping Makelele out of the national team until 2001/2002 I think.

Odunharry:
Claude, he redefined the DM role. This guy can disturb Dinho his Chelsea days.

Redefined the Dm role how? He was never head and shoulders above his compatriots through out his playing career.

Ibime:
When you want to leave an employer, you may make a ridiculous demand as the price for keeping you. Make we see the salary when it come out. And that boy is a first team squad player anyway, and £50k to £100k is what we pay them at Chelsea

You are just saying all these to comfort yourself after being scammed. The boy is getting nothing less than 100k at Chelsea. Una don fall mugu as usual.

Ibime:
£100k is what he asked Villa.

For a big club he wants to go to, the price will be different. Let's see his salary when it comes out.

The price won't be different. If he can ask that amount from common Vila then he will even be demanding more from a bigger club.

We were even linked to him.

Ibime:
Cry more

Which one is cry more again do I look like a Barca fan. I read report previously he was asking for 100k per week at 18 which pushed various clubs away.

drisham:
Official

Various clubs stayed far away from him due to his wage demands. Una don fall maga

Azurevermillion:
10 points. 3 wins one draw

What makes all of you optimistic of getting a point against Liverpool?

andrewbaba44:
England almost smelt the World Cup and euros sha

But nearly cannot kill a bird ,southgate got quality squad with the English team ,but man is not tactically sound

This is like saying Pep is not tactically sound cause he hasn't won the champions league yet with Man city after like 5 seasons. Southgate has been fantastic with England. He lost the euros final in a penality shoot out which can happen to even the best of coaches.

CAPdan21:
This andrew and donstan carry the same kind of sickness only difference say Dem dey support different clubs...

Andrew can hold a good conversation and only likes defending his club. The other types things without any meaning or iota of sense.

tonididdy:
Grealish average ?

Leave that nigga. He knows nothing.

Bluelines69:
Probably less than average sef

Ok

andrewbaba44:
That guy has been an average player from day 1

I am still waiting for him to proove me wrong this season

Grealish has never been average.

ovoP:
when club like city does this, you say they're buying the league..

Does United look like a sugar daddy club?

Yes we've spent a billion on transfers, but we should be spending a billion more. We are not a City or Chelsea who should just be grateful for whatever the owners put in to save them from being irrelevant. This is the club's own money and should be invested in the club, in the first team, the academy, the stadium, the training ground and so on.

ChristoBam:
If we spent 70m on Antony and it turns out it was a wrong signing. Guess what?

It's fvck off and make use of what you have from the Glaziers. No way, they'd spend on another RW.

This is a club that makes crazy money every year. From sweats of legends of this club(some who lost their lives in the process of trying to play for the club). These people put the Club on the world map and made it one of the most marketable in the world.

Exactly. We are Manchester feckin United, what’s the point in being a sporting powerhouse of a brand if we don’t have any financial power to outmuscle our rivals and retain our spot at the top table. Yeah we’ve wasted money, sure, but we should be able to spend double and correct it ffs! Its our money generated by the club and fans so should be spent on the club and infrastructures.

nitrogen:
Lol. Tell me banks or lenders that provide 90 percent of debt in an acquisition transaction? If you know what you are saying and you want to be transparent, you would have known or told us that they put in convertibles/PIK loans and equity. Equity was 10 percent, sub debt or PIK loans make up the 90 percent debt. Most times, you are not required to service the PIK loans. They are closer to equity because debt servicing is not mandatory!

Okay, back to how much they used to service loans. Yes, they spent 948 million on debt servicing for almost 20 years and spent over 1.5 billion on transfers on a 4 billion enterprise. That’s not bad at all. It shows they are good on the business/financial side of things. Moreso, they only paid dividends of 125 million in the same period. Can you tell me how much that is annually (that goes to them)? Less than 10m per annum. So tell me how they are taking money out!

What kinda further development do you want? Spend 3 billion on transfers in 20 years? You want us to spend more than what we’ve spent on transfers when we are the highest spender in Europe? That’s prodigality!

Honestly, you guys are just naive!

You are still typing on discussions with zero to little knowledge about. They continue to siphon tens of millions of pounds out of the club in dividend payments each year. They haven’t reduced the overall debt by any meaningful amount in years. We are still ~£500m in debt, the second-largest debt in English football after Spurs, who just a state-of-the-art football stadium whilst Old Trafford hasn’t had as much as a lick of paint in recent years. This is a club debtless before your darling owners Came in.

We are still the only club in the entire league paying dividends.

Other owners pump money from their pockets into the clubs they own while we have owners that continues taking without dropping a dime from their pockets. United interest payment of nearly 500M is more than the rest teams combined in the league for the last ten years and you are here talking nonsense about NetSpend.

nitrogen:
Buy the club and run it. Stop the shyte show. You can’t be telling a business owner how to run the show.

Mind you, they used their own money + loan to acquire the club. It’s their capital in the business. If you don’t like it, you guys should raise money and buy from them!

Stop typing in discussion you have little to zero knowledge about. They used 90% of loan money to purchase United and saddled it with debts to the bank. United was debt free before those leaches came into the club, saddled It with debt and took money from it. Since 2005 we have spent almost £704m on interest for the loans taken out by the Glazers. Since the leveraged buy-out we have spent £1.1 bln on financing ( £704m interest, £244m debt repayments and £125m dividends) Averaged £42m in last 5 years. We have spent nearly 1.1billion on the glazers from 2005 till now. 1.1billion taken away from the club that would have gone a long way in developing infrastructure and the squad further.

nitrogen:
What do you guys want sef? Nawa o! Do you want to teach them how to manage their business? They are spending, infact they’ve spent more than they should have spent in the last decade, yet, you guys are always complaining that they bleed the club and run a tight budget.

Is it their money they are spending or the money generated by the club?

raumdeuter:
No player excel in every tournament they ever played. We check their entire body of work in their career to determine flops like Hazard and those who excelled like Lewandowski

Do you agree Lewandowski flopped in 2018 world cup badly.......Yes or No?

FirstbornWds:
Lewy underperformed in the 2018 world cup.

Thats all am interested in.

raumdeuter:
Messi went to 2010 world cup and did not score one goal playing for almighty Argentina that made the quarters

No one will doubt him being the best player of his generation

But we have Hazard who has flopped everywhere. 4 CL career goals, flopped in La Liga flopped everywhere. Maybe he will try sumo football

I don't care about Messi or hazard you are bringing Into the discussion. It was your reply concerning Lewandowski performance in the 2018 world cup am only interested in. Do you agree he flopped in that tournament badly Yes or No?

FirstbornWds:
Staying for 15 years in top-flight football and scoring below 25 league goals until last season is also a failure.


Every top striker bar Ronaldo Messi can be guilty of things like this. Let's not make it all about Lewa

How has anything you have typed related with my discussion concerning Lewandowski and his performance at the previous world cup?

raumdeuter:
That was why they were the only team Poland could beat

Why didn't you striker score against any team in the group? Why didn't he score against Japan?

No matter how you spin it. 0 goal in a group containing Senegal, Japan and Colombia is a big failure for one of the best striker in the world.

raumdeuter:
These are better than Poland. How many players you don ever hear say come from Poland wey good?

How is Japan better than Poland?

Havertz10:
indeed, you are aware that there are people, even tuchel, that have stated that havertz is more talented than Dennis Bergkamp and van Persie combined.

In my opinion there's nothing like talent or more talented in football.

Please don't get carried away it's just pre season friendlies. I remember us smashing Liverpool and Madrid during pre season only to lose the first match of the season to Swansea under Van gaal. Ten matches into the new season will give us a clearer view.

andrewbaba44:
I Dey talk by current form you Dey tell me history

How does current form relate to being the biggest team in England? English is not that complicated na.
