Lol... Danny Rose na player??

All those overhyped English clowns
You could see the entitlement as he was speaking to Jose.

It’s the power of the British passport.

Mourinho also called Dele Alli into the office. He told Dele….”yesterday, I was 20. Today I’m 56. Time flies.”

He said If Dele doesn’t get his acts right, Dele is going to regret it one day.

Today, Dele is now in the Turkish league playing for Beşiktaş. Everton felt he’s not good enough to play for them.

Casemiro on the bench against Leicester.

This ETH must have balls of steel to think Rashford, Elanga and McSauce can cause any serious damage to Leicester.

This is a terrible line up.

Jose Mourinho with another win.

Watford have terminated Danny Rose’s contract. In 2019, this dude walked into Jose’s office at Spurs to demand why he wasn’t playing regularly.

Danny Rose later threatened Jose that he would report Jose to Daniel Levy in the Spurs Amazon documentary.

“See where they play, when they play, if they play”.

How do you rate our summer window out of 10?

Incomings

Malacia
Martinez
Eriksen
Casemiro
Antony
Dubravka (?)

On paper I feel it's a 7 or 8 out of 10. Still feel we could have got another midfielder, a proper controller and we also needed a striker. 38 yr old CR7 and Martial is not good enough for me.
It’s 4/10 for me.

They should have listened to Rangnick and performed the open heart surgery he recommended. There are still many players in that squad that aren’t good enough to play for Man Utd.

Shaw, Maguire, Martial, Rashford should have been moved on with quality replacements. This season of 5 substitutes will favor the clubs with the best squad depth.

Guardiola or Conte can totally get their tactics wrong but they won’t suffer the consequences because of the options of talents on the bench that can change any game.

United have Elanga, Shaw, Maguire, etc to change games. Forest have made 19 signings this summer window. 19!!!! They may yet go down but at least their fans cannot say their board didn’t make an effort to stay.

Hmmm, this guy will burn EPL
The scary thing is his country isn’t going to the World Cup.

This guy will get 5 weeks of rest while other strikers and defenders are battling it out in the Qatari heat to fight for the World Cup.

Haaland would be at home refreshing, refueling.

May God have mercy on PL defenders when the league resumes after the World Cup.

Imagine Ronaldo went to City.

Now, Man’s here trying to prove to United fans why he should start ahead of Martial and Rashford.

Sometimes, this “looking for a challenge” and “respect Sir Alex” thing is not worth it sha
Had Ronaldo gone to City last season, he would have scored about 40 goals.

Ronaldo would have added the extra firepower to beat Madrid in that semifinal and probably won another CL.

We would be discussing a 6th ballon d’Or for him right now instead of Benzema.

Man Utd have failed him massively.

Ok, from your source.

De Gea has a lot of credits in the bank. How many times has he made PFA team of the season despite playing behind the worst defence unit in the top 6?

What has Henderson achieved in the PL?

Haaland in August 2022 = 9 league goals.

Elanga + Rashford + Martial = 7 league goals since the start of last season.

But but but Release Clause.

Which is why he has been playing the Trump is coming bad guy card and that is the only thing Democrats have to work on. Listen to CNN everyday for the past 6yrs its been Trump news every night because thats what get people excited. Trump is a polarizing figure its either you hate him massively or love him massively, hardly do we have people that are neutral about him. Unlike Biden for example, I don't like him and I don't hate him, If he runs against someone I don't like I might support him

Trump has that deficit on his neck and the whole FBI thing at this point is just a distraction. We need to get the Republican party back in power that is the main thing
Trump has a better chance of winning than any Republican candidate.

Erling Haaland has scored as many Premier League goals this August, as Rashford has scored since Jan 2021.

But but but, Haaland has a release clause so United is correct for not signing him.

Dumbfucks!
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Illimitable: 9:05pm On Aug 31, 2022
Haaland has 2 PL hat tricks already.

The same number of hat tricks as Bale, Mane, Hazard and Heung-Min Son.

It only took Haaland 5 PL games to achieve what took 9 seasons for the aforementioned to achieve.

Release Clause has shamed many Man Utd fans.

While Trump might be popular with the base, but he has a negative perception among independents in a 4:1 ratio.

n an election, Democrats alone cannot win, Republican alone cannot win, Anyone who takes the biggest bite of the independents will win

Trump is very divisive, He has an abrasive personality which will not work for many people. I liked his policies when he was president. But people rarely vote for policies, they vote against people

Democrats and Bidens only hope is to make Trump run and turn the election into a Trump wankfest. They know if they whip up enough sentiments on Trump people will be swayed. Taking Trump out of the equation deflates them in a big way

I am for Ron DeSantis
The same independents have gone through

- Record Inflation
- Abysmal gas price
- Afghanistan fiasco
- Putin shitting on America
- Recession

Even democrats are tired of Biden. The last 2 years have been horrible. If GEJ runs against Biden tonight, GEJ would win.

Also I am happy about the Trump investigation, I am happy with anything that will take him out of the running for 2024
Republicans don’t have anyone as popular as Trump. If he doesn’t run, Biden gets another 4 years.

There’s a reason they are trying to hang an indictment on his neck. It is because they fear him. Over 99% of the candidates Trump has endorsed have won their tickets.

His rallies are still packed to the brim. You should also not forget this guy amassed around 75m votes in the last election(beating the much loved Obama’s numbers).

I think Trump should run again.

Dest is not better than Wan-Bissaka although he can play as RB or LB.

The defender did not jump and Ronaldo likely had a better leap power.

So apples and oranges
The defender jumped. Watch the video, not my picture. Ronaldo timed the header perfectly and jumped a second earlier than the defender.

Lewandowski is 34. Yet Barcelona spent 50m on him
Barcelona signed Aubameyang and released him after 6months because your present if more important than your future.

Ignoring your present and focusing on your future you might never see? Where have I seen that before.

Yeah Monsieur Wenger. Stacking up hyped teenagers. I remember when a poster on NL called duduspace used to brag about how glorious the future of Arsenal would be when these players mature.
Fabregas Diaby Walcott Gibbs Wilshere Ramsey dem dem
All of those players retired, sent Wenger to retirement in disgrace. Arsenal is still useless
I remember too well how Arsenal fans used to brag about their future circa 2008. The age group of their players from Almunia to Adebayor was between 19-23.

They couldn’t even keep those players for more than 3 years. Clichy, Nasri, Adebayor all went to City. The mediocre ones were kicked out of the club for better talents.

Some people don’t learn from history. Rooney and Ronaldo were 23 in 2008. Tevez was 24. Fans were ecstatic that United would have them for 10 years straight and win everything. By the summer of 2009, two players in that trio left the club for greener pastures.

But no top team can bully City thanks to their finances which we too have and also their competitiveness on the pitch which we cannot offer...

I don't think I can remember Madrid or Barca bullying City or PSG...City will keep Haaland unless he refuses to sign a new deal and decides to leave...
Haaland would love at some point but I am saying I can bet it wouldn’t be directly into a PL team.

It would be PSG, Juventus, Bayern, Madrid/Barca.

I hate the Glaziers. But they'll always try everything if they see they have a chance to sign a big name.

I believe so many other clubs would have been interested but would be put off by the release clause. It'd have been so painful to sign him and have him walk just like that to I believe, Chelsea. Without a release clause, even if he says he wants to leave, we can decide to only sell him to Spain. Dortmund didn't care about that because they don't care about selling him to Bayern. Even though there was a risk Bayern would activate the clause.
Can we bet right now that if Haaland leaves City, he will never join any other PL club?

Offer Haaland that salary and he will play Conference league.

Anthony was crying to leave a UCL team and current champion of Dutch league to come play at united where he might not win anything for the next 3 years.
Pogba, Zlatan, Mkhitaryan forfeited CL football for Europa.

When United put Ole on a private jet to speak to Haaland, United were in the CL. That was in January 2020 before Erling moved to Dortmund.

Every Laliga player has a release clause. Some ones even have one going to a billion.
Haaland and Riola wouldn't have accepted a high release clause because the plan is to move after a while.
Don’t let the Glazers cover your eyes with wool over release clause. They messed up not signing Haaland.

The same United signed pensioners like Cavani, Ronaldo, Larsson, etc on short term deals and placed them on high wages.

Any deal palatable to City is palatable to United. If City could find a way around Raiola, United should have found a way too.

City are 5 years ahead of us in squad development and this stupid board allowed them to sign Haaland - which will now make United’s title push longer than it should have been.

I would have Haaland for a month over what United currently have.

.

Will Haaland ask Madrid to insert a buyout clause or will Madrid accept to include one justso they can sign him, I think not...The buyout clause makes it easier for him to leave but it still depends on what the price is and City's ability to compete for top trophies.

The only time we stood a chanceto sign Haaland was when he left for Dortmund as at now, the only way Haaland would have signed for Man Utd is if we decided to make him the highest earning footballer in the world because that's the only thing he can look back on and smile after we struggle each match day. When we start winning and competing for big trophies, we won't have to overpay players...
What if I tell you Vinicius, Asensio and Courtois have release clauses? grin

De Gea’s woes is mostly because of what is in front of him. Now that the chuckle brothers(Maguire and Shaw) are on the bench, United kept a clean sheet away from home.

The last time United did was sometime in January. Let’s hope Casemiro settles quickly and none of Varane or Licha gets injured, things should improve. De Gea is still a very good goalkeeper.

You would understand if the club had prime Lewandowski, Aubameyang or Mbappe.

A club that parades Martial and Rashford as strikers said they don’t want Haaland because 2 years is too short

And they lost him to their city rivals - to add salt to injury. Every goal Haaland scores for City makes it harder for United to win the league.

Raumdeuter, watch this slow motion of Ronaldo header against Sampdoria some years ago.



The defender marking Ronaldo is one inch taller than Cristiano but see the difference in their height when Ronaldo headed the ball.

Ronaldo’s timing was so perfect that by the time he was reaching 90% of the total height he attempted, his marker hadn’t even thought of jumping.

This is why height is hardly relevant. It’s all about positioning and perfect timing. This is the best headed goal in the world. Nothing comes close.
