High wages and potential buyers not willingly to meet our demands..

Lingard and Westham
Then lower the fucking demand. There are clubs that will pay Pogba bills easily please. This club is not entertaining any request for him.

Some players were given new contracts even recently. New contracts for doing what exactly? I don't see how this is not on the coach

Yeah with good tactical structure too. Conte will fit Man U very well.
I agree. Conte will bring that discipline on the field. The quality is already there

The fault of the coach
Yes and I don't think that's going to change

True that.. These are on the coaches and on the players themselves
Yes. But I don't think they'll be addressed because we have been here multiple times in the past

SMH

Bros he did.. CB, RW and CDM.. To an extent a RB. It was mentioned before the previous season ended. The Glazers had a net spend of £75-100 Million max.. Meaning if Ole needed a DM, either Pogba or DvB be sold and Bailly too to raise funds for a CDM. Since that didn't happen.. They have to wait.

Lauriel (Athletic) Shragger and even Ducker who are reliable journos for Man Utd mentioned this.
Who is blocking the sales of these players you mentioned?

The point is that Glazers are not at fault for him not getting a DM.

And yes, the DM position was more pressing than that of a CB
Well I don't like speculation. Ole has said it many times that he's okay with his squad. I'll take that

With a good DM you won’t even notice CB flaws. Christensen is not better than Lindelof.
The DM is not superhuman. With the way we play, the DM will need super powers to be all over the place

DvD might leave next summer.. He wasn't Ole's ideal CM.. The Glazers made the signing considering the price was okay and the relationship with Vander Sar.. Ole's choice was Grealish but Aston Villa priced him out.. They Glazer's won't sanction the deal.. So they compensated us with DvD. If you notice, he doesn't really fit into Ole's pattern of footy. He loves risk takers like Bruno, Pogba et al. So here's where Bellingham comes in.. Remember, Ole wanted to sign before he chose Dortmund same with Haaland. Bookmark this page.. Utd will get 'em both. Pogba will renew his contract too
Any quality signing is welcome. Until I see them play in our team, I won't accept much. One thing I know is that we need to stop losing the balls too much and also increase the intensity and coordination of our press

Was his position more important than that of a DM?
They were both important. Varane came in cheap, there's no way we would have passed on that. I don't see how Varane's purchase prevented that of a DM
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 9:25am On Sep 01, 2021
hensben:
They are supposed to sign a DM before thinking of Varane.
No! Varane was important as well
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 9:21am On Sep 01, 2021
JayKayMaybachz:
Ole's preferred DM is Rice.. He doesn't want to sign anyone bar who he wants. Same with Sancho and Varane. He waited for 'em until they were at the right price.

Man Utd will go again for Rice Jan or Summer. A deal would have happened if Westham hadn't priced out Rice (£100 Million). And he's preferred CM is Bellingham...

Ole tends to get his No. 1 targets.. He loves waiting (Bruno, Sancho, Varane)

Same will happen with Haaland and Bellingham) those 3 are his preferred signings for next summer
Rice? Well who ever it is, we need a specialist in that position asap. I don't think we need Bellingham. We have talented CM coming up. We can use this season to introduce them full time to the first team, especially if Pogba will leave next summer
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 8:39am On Sep 01, 2021
I'm not sure what these guys see in training that makes them think we don't need a very solid DM. For a team that can't coordinate their press, this is non-negotiable

I have responded to this already. A lot of players would irk him in that team. Even Bruno with his erratic passes and Pogba holding on to the ball for too long and losing it.
These players should be the focus first. I don't think Pogba holds on to the ball too long these days. Against Leeds, he released those balls on time
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 5:12pm On Aug 31, 2021
slimghost:
Just saying that we have a lot of frustrating players in that team that would irk him.
We have Pogba, Bruno, Sancho, Martial, Greenwood, Rashford, VDB, Cavani, Shaw. Is this not enough to concentrate on?

He still got 29 goals in that useless team. We can do with that really and his winning mentality.
But he will sulk tire sha. Imagine waiting for crossing from AWB and through pass from Fred and co. ����
Why will he be waiting for crossing from AWB when Sancho is there?

[color=royalblue]Again, you dive deeply into the mud

I just showed you a screenshot from UEFA's site. The people wey they give players the MOTM award. The organisers of the competition itself grin

And you're asking me to check Whoscored?

Jehovah Nissi grin

Do you know what MOTM is?[/color]
Read this again very slowly
eph12:
I can bring sites where Jorginho was MOTM in a couple of your knockout matches last season in the champions league. But I'm not going to teach you football
Even though, Out of 7 matches, Jorginho is MOTM in 1, in a team of 25 players or so, plus other good performances in other matches. But that's not good enough to be instrumental? My tired is tired

[color=royalblue] Maybe you don't understand the meaning of Couple of knockout matches, but kindly show me how many games Jorginho appeared.

At least, your fellow Scummites know they can't take you seriously grin[/color]
Check whoscored, against Real Madrid and Porto. Because you be my gee o, normally I don't do this. Ma fe jo pa mi.

[color=royalblue]From the round of 16 to the final, Jorginho won the MOTM only once.

Kante won it in both Semi final legs, and the final.

Sincerely, you are just making a mockery of yourself.

Oya bring the site's let's see. grin[/color]
Okay I see what the problem is. You probably thought I said Jorginho was your best player. I give up cheesy

Let me just allow you rest.

Next time, don't just type nonsense because you want to be woke.

Be well, Ephraim[/color]
It's how you're using color to mask your football deficiencies for me.

The players on your street are average, so does it mean there are no average professional footballers? How many players are above average in that your shekpe team abi na from your street dem dey come field come play?

[color=royalblue]It's rather insulting that two grown adults would be discussing, and because you have a different opinion, the next thing you'll read is "you no Sabi ball".

You will explain to us all how Jorginho was instrumental to Chelsea's UCL win.

Come and tell how how much you know ball[/color]
It's not an insult when you're told you don't know ball. If you're Igbo and I say you don't know Yoruba, it's not an insult. The fact you find it insulting tells a lot about you and your football knowledge.

I can bring sites where Jorginho was MOTM in a couple of your knockout matches last season in the champions league. But I'm not going to teach you football

I'm not trying to comprehend anything. I just need you to be coherent. In very clear terms, answer that question. No too much sentences, I won't read it

[color=royalblue]Yes, the boys on the streets are average. Majority to be precise.

They play for fun. The ones on TV take it as a profession. They have specified trainings, diets and are involved in more game time in a year than what the boys on the streets would play in their entire life

You know what they say about Practice makes perfect? It applies here. So definitely, the man in a club in Europe or Asia or Africa is more likely to be better than the boy that plays only on Saturday mornings


Now, explain to us how Jorginho was instrumental to Chelsea's UCL win. grin

I want to prove to Fred that you his ardent disciple, no Sabi ball[/color]
So you're saying those you watch on the TV, that are professionals and have specified trainings bla bla bla are very good players? While those on your street are average players?

How was Jorginho instrumental in both the UCL and Euro wins?

P.S. You can’t make a U-turn later on and say you didn’t say this
He wasn't? A mainstay in the midfield? You know how important a midfield is?

The bolded is what I want to hear. He's average, bang average, and not better than those boys you see playing on the streets.

At least we both agree on something grin

If those boys on the street are average, then those you watch on TV are above average? Where did you learn your football? shocked

[color=royalblue]I know I don't know ball, but it would never change the fact that Fred is an average player. grin

Yes, he has a good work rate. He can run from Jerusalem to Mecca in 120 minutes. But there's nothing special about him. I'm not surprised you see him as a very good player. It tells a lot about how you watch matches.

I am happy for Joriginho. He was at the right teams, at the right time, but I beg to differ. He was not instrumental in our UCL win.

Keep watching ball sir. It won't change the fact that Fred does not deserve to wear a United shirt. Make him go Crystal palace. That's where he belongs.

grin[/color]
I say you no sabi read sè. Where did I state that Fred is a very good player? I have only tackled specific agenda about Fred and not failed to state that he's a victim of the system.

Jorginho wasn't instrumental in your champions league win and Italy euro win? Says a lot about your knowledge of football.

Congrats to Dan James. Hopefully he will flourish in Bielsa's open system. I like the options left for the front 3; CR7, Greenwood, Rashford, Cavani, Sancho, Martial. Pogba is also another option.
It's how you missed Bruno's name for me
