Mrviktor:
Halland no worth pass 250k. A week.

I am just saying we will have enough free wages to afford whatever amount his greedy agent wants.

United will be in a very strong position to negotiate his deal. Of course, Haaland isn’t worth £700k/week but with every club jostling for him, there would be a price war.

TrebleChamp:
The demand for him next season will be massive, when his buyout clause reduce to £70m. Na who will pay the biggest weekly wage and agent fee go carry the day...

That’s why I feel United should quickly get rid of the liabilities in the club to free up wages.

Getting rid of Martial(£250k/week), Mata(£160k/week), Matic(£120k/week), Jones(£75k/week), Lingard(£75k/week) frees up almost £700k/week that we can use to tempt Haaland.

CapitalCee:
World class CDM is needed. To tighten up the defence, every team will not open up like Leeds when they score equaliser

Even as open as Leeds were, Bruno received 33 passes and only successfully completed 21 passes. Against top teams, this loss of possession would cost United big time.

Another reason why an elite CDM is needed is that it will allow Ole to play Bruno and Pogba as a pair of #8s and the elite would sit as the lone #6 - especially against bottom teams.

United need to be playing football with the front foot like City do. Territorial advantage is key. The more time a team spends in the opponent’s final third, the more likely that team would get a goal. Either by scoring via sheer brilliance or scoring via a jammy, flukey goal.

Ain't aware of LMS..... can you tell us more about it?!

Every game week in the PL, each participant in this game chooses one team that must either win or draw. If I choose a team and they went on to lose, I am eliminated permanently from the game.

If you forget to choose a team in any game week, the highest team by position in last season’s PL table that you are yet to choose will be assigned to you automatically. If they win, you make it to the next round l. If you forget to choose a team 3 weeks in a row, you are eliminated from the game.

This will go on and on until the last person that has correctly chosen a team to keep winning. You can only choose one PL team per week and you cannot repeat any team you have already chosen in previous game weeks.

Oasis007:


Was regretting I didn't have Bruno in my FPL Team, but Salah is doing the magic as usual. How I wish I have both.

I really Sancho won't let me down as Martial did last Season I binned him.

We should do a Last Man Standing game on this thread but we will need someone that would dedicate his time to update the spreadsheet.

LMS is more exciting than FPL.

Haaland scores again.

This boy is ridiculous.

2 goals, 3 assists.

BlueAngel444:
and Chelsea can play Haaland as a left striker and Lukaku as a right striker

Dream on.

BlueAngel444:
if City are interested, they won't be offering 150m for kane when they can try for Haaland

Bayern might sign Haaland if they let go or bench Lewandoski for him, or they both play in a front two.

Haaland can only move next season. City needs someone to replace Aguero this season.

If City fails to get Kane this season, they would be in the mix to sign Haaland next season. Haaland’s dad once played for City.

Chelsea already have Lukaku.

Bayern won’t pay that much for Haaland and Raiola is a greedy bastard. He would want a high fee for Haaland. Haaland will only go to Bayern if he decides to stay in Germany.

PL clubs have the advantage in terms of transfer fee and wages.

41 goals
10 assists

43 Bundesliga games.

What a player!!!

eph12:
But Grealish was absent for most of last season o

He played around 2200 PL minutes for Villa last season. That’s more minutes than Pogba had last season.

Mrviktor:
If Madrid sign mbappe.
Chelsea has signed Lukaku.
Man city sign Kane.


D battle for Halland is between.
Barca.. Bayern.. United..

Nd dat deal will get as high as 120m.
Between those 3 teams only United Can pay that high..

Plus we have Sancho.
Nd ole
As catalyst..

There's a 20% chance of us getting him

The Spanish clubs are broke - forget those two.

It’s between Bayern, Man Utd and Man City(If City don’t get Kane).

Ole’s new contract should entice Haaland’s father but I suspect he would want to stay in Germany and move to Bayern.

The boy is too good. His general movement, predatory ability and his ice cold finishing are all suited for the PL.

Haaland scores again.

This guy just bullies/robs defenders and gets the ball.

This guy is destined to be great.

Oasis007:
Best GK in the Universe!!!

Agenda must agend.

De Gea gracing the stage with fellow legends.

Henderson can never.

elampiro:
Rooney was not Everton striker, so how did he start as a striker? Even for the three lions at that time, he was not the striker. He always played as a number 10 behind another striker. Rooney himself did not see himself as a striker to begin with. He was being forced to play close to the goal because of his scoring ability. Rooney has confirmed he played as a number 9 in only two seasons. This has been my argument since joining this sports section in 2013.
.................................................
"Them two seasons (2008-09, 2009-10) were the two seasons I played as a number nine on my own," Rooney said on BT Sport.

"I played there in and out in different games but I played for the whole season in them two years.

"I actually didn't enjoy the games as much. I've always been a player that wants to get involved in the game and it is something which Marcus will learn over next few years.

"It took me seven or eight years to learn how to play there and to learn to play with your back to goal. It's the hardest position to play. You've got big centre-backs coming through back of you and you're on your own.

"I weren't enjoying it, but it was my best two years of scoring. I remember coming off the pitch and scoring two goals and saying, 'I was awful. I didn't play that well today. I didn't have that many touches of the ball.

In 2009/10, Rooney hit an impressive 26 goals in the Premier League and won the PFA Player of the Year. Only Didier Drogba notched more in the top flight that season, but Rooney wasn't best-pleased.

Ferdinand recalled his long-time teammate asking Sir Alex Ferguson to change his position going into the next campaign.

Ferdinand added: "We spoke when we came back to pre-season. I remember speaking to you and you said, 'I'm going to speak to the manager and say I want to play as a number ten.'

"I was sitting there going, 'But you scored 30-odd goals this season Wazza.' But you weren't enjoying your football and I couldn't get my head around that."

Rooney did end up moving further back at United, before going on to return to boyhood club Everton in 2017.

After a spell stateside with D.C United, he finished his career at Derby County, who he has just kept in the Championship on the final day after being appointed manager in January.

I think the use of English is a fat challenge for you.

Rooney said here that 08/09 and 09/10 were the two seasons he played as a lone striker.

There are other formations where you can have a strike partner like 4-4-2, 4-3-1-2, 4-1-2-1-2, etc. The two strikers in these formations are centre forwards.

Rooney at Everton was in a 4-4-2 formation. Rooney in England was in a 4-4-2 formation in Euro 2004. Rooney at Man Utd in several seasons was played in a 4-4-2 formation. So why are you arguing he’s a #10?

Between Wood and Barnes at Burnley, who’s the #10? What about Anelka and Drogba(09/10 season), who was the #10? How are you such a football fanatic but you have no understanding of football formation?

elampiro:
You are Coogar. You argue exactly as you did in 2013 to 2015 or thereabout.
e.g
- The Rooney argument is exactly the same. He was a striker and must be compared to strikers only with goals scoring.
- Mourinho is defended t´with all your life
- DDG must never be criticized.
- You insults

Just to mention a few.

I knew it would take no time to start your attack on Rooney. One day I came here, behold you were on his matter just as before.

The next time you refer to me as Coogar, I would just ignore you completely.

If you have PTSD because of what a certain person did to you in the past, deal with your issues without involving me in them.

You can also ask the police to help you look for him so you can sort out your past transgressions.

patrickmuf:
They might do a comeback...

Watford leading 3-1.

elampiro:
Coogar, show me where I said he should be sold. He is not consistent, that is his problem. He is like Anthony Marshal. They play well when they are fresh, but as the fatigue of the long season sets in, it becomes hard.

Did Fred not play today?

I don’t know why you keep calling Coogar.

Does he owe you or you miss him so much you want to fück him?

Your comments are littered with anti-Pogba rhetorics. He’s slow, United win more games without him and other nonsense you managed to conjure in your head.

The fact is - Pogba is United’s best player that is being mismanaged because of his physique. If you are black, tall, strong, etc - the media tend to judge you by being a defensive powerhouse, instead of being a creative outlet.

The long and short of this story is - Pogba has shut you up.

Hopefully, it’s forever.

patrickmuf:
They might do a comeback...

I don’t see it happening. They look lost without Grealish.

They can’t just pocket the £100m and refuse to invest in quality players to replace Grealish.

How’s Villa losing to Watford?

These Brum wånkers have ruined my bet.

Oasis007:
Perhaps he's the Bonus OGS keeps yawning. Board should offer Perreira and Fred to Leicester in exchange for him.

Bruno’s high risk high reward policy is the main worry here. Bruno will always give the ball away because his first instinct is to pass it forward.

Forward passes are too risky and this is why signing a pure destroyer is imperative when Bruno’s risky passes fail to get to the target.

The volume of passes Bruno puts forward is ridiculous making his ball retention ability very very low. Grealish on the other hand can retain the ball very well but he doesn’t attempt risky passes like Bruno.

Ole needs to do something before it’s too late.

Oasis007:
Haha!


Mensah had left United long nau. Which mumu Clubs gonna buy Retirees, Mata and Matic or an injury prone Jones?!

Lingard and Perreira likely to fetch us €50m though.

I thought he went on loan to Fulham. Haha.

Mata and Matic can still prove useful to clubs like Norwich, Brentford or Watford.

Oasis007:
Perhaps he's the Bonus OGS keeps yawning. Board should offer Perreira and Fred to Leicester in exchange for him.

I just learnt last night that Ndidi has a release clause of €60m.

So it’s not even a matter of Leicester won’t sell or they would put £100m price on him. If we take £51m to Leicester, they have to give us Ndidi.

Someone should tell me why we haven’t done that yet.
A sensible manager would sell any of Lingard, Jones, Pereira, Matic, Mata, Fosu Mensah, etc and get Ndidi.

Oasis007:



Best Midfield Combo in the World.

4 × 3 - you wanna argue it?

That midfield isn’t complete until we do this.

Even Darren Bent is echoing the idea.

Skimpledawg:
That Pogba assist to Greenwood is classy.

Damn!

Pogba was doing that all summer at the Euros. This is why it’s a waste having him play next to Fred as a DM. Get him up the pitch and find an elite DM.

Elampiro wants him sold though. Elampiro wants a man that can produce 4 open play assists in a single PL game sold.

Is this the Bruno that one lunatic here said isn’t as good as Grealish?

I dare Grealish to score a hat trick in a PL game without a penalty kick in any of the goals.

King Bruno has laid down the gauntlet. KDB should come outside.

Tuchel wins again.

No excuses about cultural reset, no excuses about progress, no excuses about rebuilding. This guy just finds a way to win football games in clutch moments.

Meanwhile, some zombies on this thread think Ole is their future.

Herrera is coming back to United?

This club is a joke.

raumdeuter:
Dont let Schweinsteiger and Hargreaves make you biased against Bayern deals. Tolliso is a bargain and is the missing link you need

Give us Kimmich, I would send Matic, Mata, Phil Jones, Brandon Williams, Lingard, Van De Beek and McTominay your way.

1 player of yours for 7 of ours.

Deal?

raumdeuter:
Ole = weakness on the bench that I was talking about

Ohhhhh, I got you.

I thought you meant United have a weak bench(mediocre reserve players) in comparison to their rivals.

There’s simply no way that Norwegian fraud gets to the title before Tuchel and Pep.

raumdeuter:
See this

Even if they have PSG squad, Ole is too brainless to finish above Pep or Tuchel in a marathon.

He could beat them in a one off game, but when push becomes shove, those two can manage to go on a long winning streak to get to the finish line before Ole does.

As it is, City and Chelsea have better squads and they have better managers. There’s no chance Ole wins the league. He’s not as smart as Tuchel/Pep and his players aren’t as good as Tuchel/Pep.

raumdeuter:
I have Chelsea as favourite They dont have any obvious weakness in any department

Man City should become favourite if they are able to sign Kane or any decent striker, Grealish is more of the same type of players they have in abndance

Man Utd should also be favourite but they have a major weakness siting on the bench

Liverpool if the AFCON goes ahead in January will likely run into trouble without Salah and Mane. Plus Klopp need to reinvent something cos that gegen pressing style will go stale soon, It always does like it did at Dortmund

What kind of delusion is this?

Ole is favorite in a league that has Pep, Tuchel and Klopp?

How?

Sniper4real:
Illimitable dey argue with 2 people and na different arguments, I respect you

Easy arguments to debate when you have a geriatric RooneyBot and an idiöt with a morgue temperature IQ.
