Guy, the Glazers have never spent any of their personal money on united, they 'released money' abi the money the club made

They own the club, it's their money

Ok so this is the problem? That they don't spend their personal money? Make sense

Nezzjnr:
We need to sign Lukaku so he can always wait in the box and expect balls to meet him for an easy Tap in

How many times did we complain that Lukaku wasn't using his body well to bully Defenders??


It seems some Folks here aren't watching the Italian league to see how his teammates gets frustrated if he can't handle a simple pass



Ole should sign Lukaku and Herrera unless he'll be sacked

Lmao you won't be able to handle a woman because you don't listen. You get babe so?

Panther7:
where was the money spent on? Is united spending or overpaying for players?
United will continue to overspend when you don't have proper scouting departments and proper transfer policies, Imagine a club like United doesn't have a director of football?
Even the spending was down to a new manager coming in and saying "Get me player X and Y"
When has United buy ever been strategic in the last 5 years?
Just recently when Ole came we have had some sort of direction.
You are comparing United to City? a club that is properly run, identifies their target and go for them without making noise or arguing over transfer fee of 10M.
Even liverpool that hasn't outspent us you see the value of what they have spent.

How is this a fault of Glazers? I don't understand. They have been releasing money, they still released 200m last season. It's not their fault if the money is spent wrongly

handelex:
Unfortunately, very few of those signings have really worked out and fowl wey dey lay egg, nyash dey pain am atimes. They may be more cautious now.

Not a fault of Glazers right? They have been doing their job which is to release money

Panther7:
Don't we need additions desperately? Shouldn't Ole call out Woodward when he is debating with Dortmund over a 10M fee?

What's the talk about Ole losing 3 semifinals, FFS even the 'special one' couldn't even lead us to 3 semifinals in a season. Do I think ole needs to improve on the tactical side? Yes.
Do united players need to improve? Yes
Should Woodward do his job better? HYFR!!!
Should the Glazers improve and put more money in to the club? FFS yes!

If we want to apportion blame let's do it evenly. No be every time "ole this ole that". Nobody on this thread ever calls out the Glazers Nobody!!! For una e no dey pass Ole and Rashford.

Only City has outspent us in the last 5 years. Let that sink in. Glazers have not been stingy with the money

Leyqute:
Herrera is still heavily limited. That he is in the UCL final means little because he hardly contributed to his team’s efforts to get there.

Yesterday, Marquinhos and Parades were the ones pulling the strings in midfield. Herrera? He was hiding behind opposition players.

Don’t be surprised if he was omitted from the final starting XI.

Lukaku I’d give more credit because he’s a goalscorer. However, his teamplay is not top notch. If United need a striker without much teamplay I’d go for him.

Unfortunately, United is a team that teams will sit back and defend against. If your teamplay isn’t top notch and your teammates aren’t KdB, Messi or Ozil, you will struggle.

The less said of Sanchez the better. That guy can not perform in a team with huge expectations.

And the Italian league is way easier than the premier league.

The point is we can't have world class in every position. It's not possible. We can list at least 7 players that are very well above average in this team. At least let those ones play at their highest level first. We will bring in new guys and after some games, people will begin to question their ability. We have seen this play out too many times in this team. Let the ones we have currently play up to their ability first. The board will be more than willing to go all out to get some targets because it will be obvious by then what is missing in the team.

If you were among the decision makers, will you bring in players to bench your 200k plus earners, knowing fully well that the coach or someone assured you of their contribution to the team? If we want new players, let them sell some of the ones we have currently.

The point is that we can do better with what we have. If we continue to play like we did against Sevilla, create all those chances and limit the opponent as much as we did, we will win many more points that we did last season and win a trophy along the way

I hope it is not his ceiling cos he has shortcomings even defensively that he needs to work on.

When he has his man in front of him in 1 v 1 battle he is imperious but he does not have great positioning or awareness and he is not good in the air for his height.

In terms of his ability going forward, he doesn't need the attackers to help him control and move the ball better than atilogwu dancer. I watched his clips from Crystal Palace and predicted he would be a liability in attack. If he continues like this next season the fans will turn on him (and they might be back in the stadium to show it).
There is more to being a modern full back than making sliding tackles.

P.S And the cross was okay. Calling it "wonderful" is a bit hyperbolic.

You may be probably right about AWB. However Herrera, Lukaku and co will be playing European finals soon. They are also judged to be heavily limited. At the end of the day, an excellent coach, a balanced team with a mix of some world class players, we should be fine

afrodoc2:
It’s just the way his fans always go back to that cross to defend his attacking qualities that always trips me.

Ehn let's first agree that it was wonderful. Abi it wasn't?


Well it's not about defending AWB. His flaws are out there, we know that. So does every other player that his non fans refuses to criticize na

There's still more to come from AWB with the right guidance. I'm sure you insist this is his ceiling, I'm not seeing it. Maybe I'll see it later when the attackers are doing their jobs, but for now, I no see am

afrodoc2:


Wonderful cross abi? With his atilogwu dance steps.

Lmao have you forgotten ni?

GloryIsaac:
They fully focus on low crosses, and that’s down to some reasons.

1. The coach’s style of play
2. The fullbacks high crossing ability (which is poor)
3. The attackers heading ability (looks below average)

So they prefer to play with ball to feet, that’s why they spent more time making quick passes in Sevilla’s box, than actually scoring goals.

1. We shouldn't complain about crosses again since that's the coach style of play. We shouldn't berate AWB, Williams, Shaw for lack of cross

2. We haven't seen enough to make a real judgment yet. At least, not this season. In fact AWB assisted Martial at the bridge via a wonderful cross

3. A one time cross into the box before the defenders regroup can afford our attackers some space to do damage. And if it's low cross, we should have an attacker arriving at the near post in front of the defenders, not behind them

afrodoc2:


Hazardinhos won't like this. Neymar on his way to the Champion's League final yet again, Hazard on his way to McDonald's..........yet again.

Twerking on the way as usual ffs

Lana1:
Together the front 3 had 62 goals & 28 assists combined. They for reach close to 80 goals if they were more clinical.
Massive improvements needed from everyone next season.

80+ goals should be the target for them. Then for God sake, these guys should just practice crossing abeg. Nobody wants to be the guy that crosses in that team. The full backs should normalize running ahead of the forwards without fear. Fred or Pogba can drop back to stand in. I do believe they can do this if the coach demands it. For now, they are not even trying

Skimpledawg:
Bayern just better win this UCL if not here no go contain Dayo and airmark o


Wait a minute, if Bayern wins it, Dayo go spin am say na Boateng lead Bayern to UCL. If PSG win, Neymar led PSG to UCL

Kai

Airmark is preparing his draft as we speak

raumdeuter:
While Hidden Hazard is 29 and ....

... the rest is history

Lana1:
Depay is the last of the ex-United boys that could still make an European final this season.

If Lyon somehow win tomorrow, then I'll know that it's village people running our case

I've been thinking same too. That's why I feel the Rashford and Martial we're berating like this, they may be massive in Bayernliga. Whether we like it or not, we need those guys to be placed on special training together with Greenwood and Bruno. They need to understand themselves properly. They need to be placed on special diets. Ole should demand more from them every day even if they score 5 every match day. They have the talent. They will be massive in this Bayern or PSG

Nagelsmann had no response to the fire power PSG possessed. I'll see if he can maintain this frequency next season or even top it.

PSG is too skillful for RBL mehn. I'll like to see them against Bayern

Lana1:
Also need Martial & Rashford to not be shíte!

Yeah true

Lana1:
Herera, Young, Lukaku, Sanchez, all going to European finals
Fúck my life!

We won't hear the end of it
We need $120m players to do better

Neymar on his way to the final without Messi

ennyjay72:
that's not his real account

Oops

GloryIsaac:
Greenwood & James. Not encouraging.

We should be looking outside.

ennyjay72:
this is a Chelsea fan thread,we can say whatever we want,or are you getting scared of havertz already

Havertz is even a done deal

https://twitter.com/manlikefola_/status/1295648877765369856?s=19

Are we allowed to talk about our options without Sancho or we should still wait

Nezzjnr:
Expect Sancho's deal to be done on deadline day

Una like to dey stress una sef for here ooo

Is it today you're knowing Woodward??

Yimu

BlueAngel444:
and you know this how?

Fat Lamp sold off Luiz because of his own insecurity na. You don't know this?

BlueAngel444:
Bikeman, for example Rashfall and greenwood


How exactly did this Lukaku not "fit in" Ole's plan (if he had one)

Same way Luiz didn't fit into Lamp plan but used his head to lift the FA cup

MaziAlaye:
[s]Chris Smalling
Dean Henderson
Cameron Borthwick-Jackson
Joel Pereira
Ethan Hamilton
Kieran O’Hara
Marcos Rojo
George Tanner
These are the ones we are confident of[/s]

afrodoc2:
There are players we should have moved on from, like Maguire at 80m and AWB at 50m.

There are players you have to stick with, like Sancho at 100m.

Problem is that we still need a LCB, and a CM, as well as a LB.

We need to sign a LB to compete with Shaw (or replace him), and move Williams over to compete with AWB at RB while Laird goes out on loan.

I believe Alaba has 1yr left on his contract. We can try getting him even though i suspect he will just use us to get a better deal from Bayern.

Hmm we will see what happens by the end of the transfer window

weedtaker:
They should buy sancho first before doing any other thing.

They should buy him now. If they drag to the end of the transfer window and still end up paying same amount, that will be a big shame
