Some French outlet reported that Liverpool has submitted an €80m bid for Nicolas Pepe

Ed is still resting from his pursuit of James

Oasis007:


........ LMAO

He gets pace and he's defensively ok! Infact my presumed Lineup for the Preseason Games is below;

You go dey alright o

adebayo201:
guy, why nah

Depression is real bro. I was just checking on oasis well being

larride:
Don’t mind them jare, they wan use stress kill Ed.

He should just resign before they use stress to kill him

Oasis007:


...... And be collecting £400m+ awoof Weekly Wage?!

I wish we can play 2-man Strikers next Season, with James and Shaw operating as WBs.

Which James? Guy is everything Ok at home?

adebayo201:


How can you bring out a beast out of a lazy dude??

It's like you're expecting a lamb to behave like a lion.

I was trying to save my head. I personally is fed up of his behavior but don't want to say it like that so nobody comes for me

Oasis007:
Sanchez may still be in the Squad next Season, if the Club could not find a buyer for him. Rashford can also play RW bruh.

He can be in the club and not be in the club at the same time. Ask Valencia

God forbid we see Rashford playing the wings. I prefer Lukaku there sef

Oasis007:
If he's coming as a RW, good. But as to choke up already crowded LW, then he should be loaned back to Swansea City asap.

What LW is crowded? Sanchez? Martial? I expect Sanchez to be shipped off so we have just Martial. This doesn't look crowded to me. If he can bring out the beast in Martial, that's double win for us

larride:
Don’t stress Ed please. Man’s on vacation for all the hard work he did in the just concluded season. Let him rest please.

Plus its not easy to see this James transfer to this stage. Man's deserves some break

afrodoc2:
I don’t know if they are worth it or not but one match can’t be the reason to decide either way.

That’s how Bartholomew Ogbeche used sangalo to enter World Cup squad.

tenmariner:
This season TW will be similar to that of Moyes first year. Big targets won't come, we will settle for mediocre ones, and then get a panic buy at the closure of TW..u remember fellani story...

We don't need big targets. Some big targets have come and gone, and didn't work out

footiemaniac:
Yea, we need 4- 5 quality new players to compete again. I am only against disposing off more senior squad members,we have lost 3 already, we still need Ashley young and co in the dressing room for now,not as a starter. We need a Right back, Right winger(Pepe), Midfielder and a striker.

If the club can manage to buy without selling to balance the books who cares? The priority is not to dispose of old players but bring in new quality additions.

footiemaniac:
That Chelsea team were very efficient, they won 13 straight games(A record then). Conte miscalculated the next season by selling off Costa and replacing him with Morata ,Bakayoko for Matic etc. He altered the spine of that team with inferior players.

Lol he wasn't happy with the Matic sale bro.

Leicester team was very efficient too. They only lost Kante and things fell apart. This tells me that those players were probably pushing above their weights. Sooner than later, they tend to come crashing down, no shocker.

But we have see a City and Liverpool team lose their best players to injuries and still remain very competitive. That is what I wish for Manchester United, not some quick fix and pray for miracles

footiemaniac:
Chelsea finished 31 points behind Leicester city 15/16 season, they went on to win the league the next season with just few additions( Ngolo Kante, Marcos Alonso,David Luiz,Batshuayi, Return of Victor Moses) they did not rip the team apart they still had dead woods then. It is going to be gradual overhaul of the squad, we cannot get more than 4-5 max new players this new season. Other teams might be useless next season also.

What do you want? A team that will come and perform miracle to win the league next season and struggle for the next couple of seasons narrowly making top 4? Or a team that can compete at the very top for years?

I counted 5 additions there, of which 3 were very instrumental. Would it be too much to ask for that 5 additions too? Or is that not what peeps have been saying here?

footiemaniac:
I was only making reference to the list above. How many games did Cahill, Sturridge or Jagielka played? We have lost 3 senior players already (Fellaini, Valencia, Herreira) and we have to replace them before dispatching any other senior squad member. With 4 new quality additions to this squad we can compete next season. This group of players finished 2nd in the penultimate premier league season. It is not all doom and gloom, there is no need to panic buy.

Did you consider that other teams were useless that season? We finished 19 points off ffs. It wasn't even a contest

afrodoc2:
I don’t have any inside info, but I was to hazard a guess I would say those mofos as confused as hell.
Ed Woodward has always been the no 1 problem in terms of football issues so the only he gets things right is by fluke. The man is uniquely clueless.

O jewa safe us

This season will be very interesting

The lack of ambition is just so glaring. No inside info on what is happening at Carrington?

elrony:
Thanks Fam for the good wishes. God bless us all


Hopefully our club deliverance is near

Happy birthday bro

ChristineC:
Sir, If quality players like Pogba can't fit in our team then that system really should be disbanded. It's just simple AF.

I don't even believe it will be a crime if Ed signs Ndombele, Ndidi and Rabiot as added options to the guys in midfield. Let these guys spend this money please

My stance was based on if Ed can get these players around Pogba. If he can't, Pogba will continue to struggle and will be a misfit in the team. His ability and commitment will be questioned every game. If Ed brings in these players then Pogba will be a huge fit, if not I fear for his career

Leyqute:
I don’t want Pogba sold but if his mind is not here, there’s no reason to tie him down or try to convince him. Let him go.

If we can get quality players in that middle, we will enjoy him a lot

afrodoc2:
Hehehe see as eph12 exonerate himself like Neymar.

See me see wahala o

nitrogen:
I was referring to those that want us to sell Pogba and not necessarily that we replace him with Ndidi. My first was a jibe, and the second clarified. I sha know that a few weeks/months ago, more than half of posters in here (including eph12, can't remember) labelled Pogba a virus and said we should sell him.

Enjoy!

Lol
So these same posters (including eph12, can't remember) asked for Pogba to be replaced with Ndidi?

Is this the eph12 or it's another one?

eph12:
Since Rabiot is free, we can bring him in at no cost. That would be Matic, Pogba, Bruno, Ndidi and Rabiot manning the three midfield positions with quality on the bench

eph12:
Exactly
Imagine we have players like Sancho, Pepe, Pogba and Rashford /Martial (even though their heads no correct) running at the opposition, with the full backs and Bruno supporting the attack, and Ndidi shielding the defense

Mans can only dream dreams bro

Try to keep up bro.
Nobody said Pogba was a virus, we only said the team need him stepping up and controlling the midfield but we know he can't do that on his own and need quality players around him. If Ed can't give us those quality midfielders to support Pogba, he's going to be a waste of space and money in the team.

I hope this is easy to understand enough

larride:
You say?

You need to keep up with the news bro. I got this from multiple reliable source

nitrogen:


I guess you are one of those I was referring to.

Apologies and fuvk you Buddy!

Can't be me na, cos I never asked for Pogba to be replaced with Ndidi. I don't think anyone did sef. You just like quarrel pass fight, dazzal

Leyqute:
Another Man Utd midfielder

Buahaha
Smalling, Lingard or even Mata can play that side comfortably

Leyqute:
I get what you’re saying. Carrick was coolheaded and he was good.

But being coolheaded isn’t the major attribute to be a successful DM. Daley Blind is a coolheaded creative player but he struggled in midfield for us.

I suspect OGS will use Fred a lot next season.

Fred, Pogba and?

Leyqute:
We don’t necessarily need a cool headed player in midfield. We need someone who can distribute the ball, mark well and hold possession. Scholes wasn’t a cool headed player and Roy Keane surely is hot-blooded.

Matic cannot mark. His legs are tired. I’m not saying we must use 2 midfielders. A pivot DM/CM with 2 B2B CMs works too.

Carrick was a cool head.

I'm saying we need to replace Matic with one. Well it depends on the system the coach wants to play. I don't to see Matic as a starting player next season.

larride:
Ndidi is purely a DM.

We all agree Pogba best position is in a box to box CM or AM.

Buying Ndidi is to shield the back 4 and give the forward players freedom to do their things.

you for ignore am. na waste of time explaining these things

Leyqute:
Fred is going to get A LOT of minutes next season. I suspect OGS will put Matic on the bench most of the time.

We need a cool head like Matic in the midfield. A midfield 3 will serve us better than 2

GloryIsaac:
I hope Woodward pulls off some miraculous stunt and gets Pepe into United, that guy could be the solution to the right-wing problems.

Definitely watching Ivory Coast matches at AFCON 2019 because of him.

There's no pointer on ground that Ed is throwing his weight around getting new players in.

Last I read, OGS was asked to work with same defenders for next season.

GloryIsaac:
It was painful to see Mino representing De Ligt. Lukaku leaving him was one of the best things i heard last season.

His players are always overpriced
