It's funny when you want to join a bandwagon of opinion and then say everyone else is 'trying not to follow the crowd' There are people that can chat to me about the Onana and Mount deal. Odizeey and the likes. I think patrickmuf also. They didn't want them from the beginning. We know their opinion about the whole thing. But the ones with no opinion about anything from the beginning will hold a strong opinion about deals based on how everything evolves. The type that always want to appear right and smart. Lmao. 6 Likes |

AdisaOwala:Look at this one😂😂. Y'all jumped to hype up an 'unproven' manager, I didn't. That's well documented on this thread. I wasn't convinced about Ten Hag and everyone here knows. And when he got here, I was skeptical for the first few months. I actually saw workings before I started to back the manager. Not like y'all that want to kill the manager after a few months with an injury hit squad. After fvcking hyping the guy for more than a year lmao. I'm the last person you can point to as jumping on hype. 😂 Fvcking bozzo thought he made a point. 8 Likes |

AdisaOwala:Lmao, man said I don't want to follow the crowd. Man I'm not just flippy floppy like all of you. How can I hail the manager as superb and wonderful and say he's the next best thing on planet earth and then switch in few months to say he's a clown that deserves to be killed? How can I rant about how the club was handling the Antony's deal, send transfer reports as to how we'll have to pay something crazy if we don't complete the deal in July, rant about how we needed a right winger badly and then accept everything when we finally overpaid for one. But then turn everything around in a year or so on the manager and say he deserves to be killed for the deal bla bla bla? I'm not like y'all and will never be. |

AdisaOwala:Say na 'Do I proof-read my posts'😂. Everything I type is clear and concise. You might try to summarize it in your idiotic way and reply with some cliches. That's on you. Most of you no even get point. But as long as your nonsense ends with popular statements like 'Antony deal is senseless', you're good. As long as Antony remains the most hated figure here. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 2:52am On Feb 06 |
AdisaOwala: Brought in two replies to different questions asked and phrased it like it's excuses to the same question. 😂 That's how y'all move here. Why did we end up paying that much? Even a total dullard without agenda will understand it's because we negotiated so late into the window without a viable option available. The other one about taking the next step is a reply to questions about why we went for someone that's not even pulling trees in terms of stats. Try again! |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 2:47am On Feb 06 |
All of these shalaye is because you want the manager out. Antony's deal must fully be put on ETH for agenda. It's like compiling a list of fvckups. Funny thing is years after the manager gets sacked, the fvckup list gets revised. The list was much longer during Mourinho's time. But that fvckup list has been totally revised. Can't even remember a lot of his messups anymore. At this point some of you just get tired of seeing the same face week in week out and want the new excitement of a new manager. If they told you ETH will win the league in 2 years OR we can bring in a new manager and he'll win in the same number of years. Y'all will go with the latter. |

AdisaOwala: 🤣When you keep arguing just to have the last say, you tend to draw senseless summaries of everything said, repeat previous statements like they weren't countered in the past. I don't think a single person here has said Antony was worth the amount he was bought for. No one's advocating spending that type of money on even established players. All anyone has done here is add context to how the deal came into fruition. When some of you argue on this thread, you intentionally get stuck on one thinking. Everything's not black and white. We've all discussed this on previous pages. But you'll still quote me and summarize everything I've said as advocating for spending 100m on up and coming players. When we've literally discussed on and on as to how the whole deal evolved. It's tiring tbh 1 Like 1 Share |

patrickmuf:It's more like he's taking stupid jobs. PSG and present Chelsea are horrible jobs for any manager. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 9:03pm On Feb 05 |
AdisaOwala:Can you please name one right winger that was available then that was already well established and would slot in perfectly into the role at United? You just carry phone dey type whatever. You're basically saying what we needed was an established player not one trying to make the next step. This is absolutely silly talk. As for your last paragraph, it's very easy to say all these now when the guy's been poor at United. I'd even take you more seriously if you said any of this sh*t when we were linked to him. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 4:56pm On Feb 05 |
AdisaOwala:Lmao seems you'll never get it. When we went for Hojlund, we didn't get a prolific striker that was banging in goals. We went for a player that we thought had the raw qualities and hoped he'd make the next step. Same thing we did with Antony. He was an 'Orthodox winger' but we hoped he'd make the next step. Arsenal that's well run these days were about to splash 100m on a Mudryk with 5 goals or something in Ukraine. Not every youngster is an Haaland or Mbappe. Like how can you not get this? You're only saying all these shit based on the fact we now know Antony is a bum. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 2:55am On Feb 05 |
afrodoc2:They went into transfers with zero plan. You're supposed to be super successful after spending all that money. Imagine spending 100m on a player just because Arsenal wanted him; talking about Mudryk. I think Caicedo falls into this category as well. Another 100m. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 2:50am On Feb 05 |
AdisaOwala:Why do you keep going on and on about stats. You mentioned it like 3 times, I mentioned Hojlund and you skipped past that. Hojlund is literally a striker and scored only 7 last season. Antony looked like an Orthodox winger so we kinda excused his lack of stats. It was mostly about making the next step. It's all about hindsight. Antony is a bum now, so kill everyone involved in the deal? lmao. It's even funny, you wanted to kill the manager for poor results all these months. Didn't take too long to find another reason to kill the manager after recent good results. 2 Likes |

maik99:He wasn't. He fits into the profile of players we already had in abundance. Sancho, Rashford, Garnacho. All better playing from the left. Garnacho looks good so far on the right but still not totally convinced cuz his shot power on the left is weak. But he's doing a job. Makes me remember what Ole said about Sancho totally preferring to play from the left. Made things complicated. It's just unfortunate Antony ended up a bum. Most times you can't predict these things. If we had the funds, we'd have gone for Caicedo. Imagine the tears now. But man looked like a sure banger in any team. Now he looks like someone playing with construction boots. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 7:29pm On Feb 04 |
Btw, I went on and on about how injuries has ruined things for us this season, but na soso Ten Hag out, Ten Hag out. Now that we finally have players back, we're finally winning games and actually deserving the victories. Good to see. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 7:25pm On Feb 04 |
eph12:At this point na to dey repost old stuff. No fit dey repeat the same thing 100 times.
|
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 6:39pm On Feb 04 |
AdisaOwala: I guess Hojlund was a huge bum then. Cuz how striker go get 7 goals lmao. Dey there dey look for youngster with 50 goals. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 6:38pm On Feb 04 |
eph12:Bro, I can't be repeating the same thing. There's a reason we're not trying to build up a football structure unlike before. Ten Hag is not Paul Mitchell. Klopp is not Dan Ashworth. The players they are actually able to access are very limited. It's just a pity we're finally fixing things after wasting millions. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 6:33pm On Feb 04 |
AdisaOwala:You're just repeating the same thing while twisting my words. I said Ajax was a very promising player. The only thing y'all had against him was the stats. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 6:29pm On Feb 04 |
eph12:. Lmao just buttressing my point. Na Ten Hag scout for options too? Let me even add. These fools were actually negotiating deals with options in mind. But they were so certain of getting Antony, they left it late without really looking at options. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 6:25pm On Feb 04 |
eph12:Most loan players end up beind mid. There's a reason they're available for loan. So let's not start padding list to push agenda. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 6:22pm On Feb 04 |
AdisaOwala:Let's talk sensible things abeg. They asked for an amount the best promising players were going for. We wouldn't have paid that if we had gone into negotiations sensibly with options available. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 6:12pm On Feb 04 |
AdisaOwala: Why are y'all ignoring the timeline of events? At the point we went in for Antony, he was still seen as a decently priced addition to the team. It was too late into the transfer window before we actually realized he was going to be super expensive. At that point what was he supposed to do? |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 6:07pm On Feb 04 |
maik99:Like I don't understand. It's so clear. Like we all wanted Antony. Only began to show skepticism when it became obvious we were going to overpay. But who was the option then? At that point, if we went for ordinary chukwueze, they'd have asked for 60m. It was very obvious to everyone we were desperate. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 6:04pm On Feb 04 |
AdisaOwala: Manage which resources? The same one we all agreed needed to be totally disbanded. The same one we said needed open heart surgery? All of these is because Antony failed. He'll be facing the same shit if Hojlund was failing in similar fashion. It's easy to say all these shit now. But imagine a new manager taking on that squad that everyone tagged absolutely useless. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 5:44pm On Feb 04 |
patrickmuf:Which question? Let's rewind to August 2022 and tell me who tf was going to ignore an Antony deal and decide to instead rely on an academy player with zero premier league minutes. Cuz some of una on this thread sometimes ehhn. Which question. Who the fvck inherits the worst United team in recent history in terms of performance and decide the addition of an academy player should be enough up front 1 Like |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 5:38pm On Feb 04 |
AdisaOwala:. He didn't blow 100m. Murtough and co did. He needed a left footed right winger badly. They delayed negotiations till really late. I think we had even started the season before they got close to agreeing a deal. At this point, it was either we brought in an Antony (that looked like a really good winger ready to make the next step) or we stuck with Rashford and co. You need to remember they all looked like bums then. We literally wanted the whole team disbanded then. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 5:32pm On Feb 04 |
patrickmuf:The problem with most of you is y'all just throw out statements and judgements without trying to consider the difficult decisions the manager is faced with. So you're telling me a new manager should rely on *Rashford (just after a terrible season), *Garnacho(a youngster who has no experience with zero epl minutes) or Amad? Like are you joking? In a job that you could get sacked after a month. Try to look at things from other's perspectives. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 3:02pm On Feb 04 |
Jodera:Within the short period City were loosing, I saw enough to realize he'd be unrecognizable in United. If he had go work in the same condition the others did. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 2:58pm On Feb 04 |
patrickmuf:Let's not start this please. Pull out of the Antony deal and use pellestri or wetin? You expected him to have stuck to the same ones that failed Ole and Rangnick back to back? Ajax fans all over especially that Europeanlad on Twitter were crying all over that Antony deal. He was highly rated. He obviously couldn't make the next step. He bought him cuz at the point he left, he was a highly rated upcoming winger. The type you'd say has the qualities but didn't have the stats. As for Mount, hasn't the guy been injured most of the season? So what're you on about? |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 12:46pm On Feb 04 |
Englishisamust:Na ETH buy Maguire? The one that bought Maguire couldn't bench him. Remember we used to call for him to be benched and captaincy stripped. You can't spend 100m on a player and then bench him permanently. Btw, you're even approaching this discussion like Antony is staying games. Antony is literally a bench player. So what's been said is to almost permanently bench an 100m signing. Jokes. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 12:43pm On Feb 04 |
Jodera:You can't be limited to about 150m-200m per year with an already terrible team and then say you'll bench an 100m signing permanently. Like I don't care who you are, you can't do it. If Pep was here, all that arrogance go turn to humility. 1 Like |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 12:40pm On Feb 04 |
patrickmuf: You think he wouldn't make the mistake if he was at United? This is why I used to go on about structure structure structure, to the extent that guys on here troll me consistently. You can't have the likes of Omar, Ashworth and then make mistakes like Antony. So if you have clowns in charge and they go on to negotiate a 100m deal for a player like Antony and he ends up being a bum. What can you really do? |
