typicalgamer:Brazil 98 squad was even better than the 2002 squad that won the World Cup. Ronaldo’s convulsion aided France’s win and I can bet French chefs deliberately poisoned Ronaldo before the final. The sponsors(Nike) also played politics, they forced Mario Zagallo to include Ronaldo in the line up because of commercial earnings. They threatened to withdraw their sponsorship if Ronaldo didn’t start in that World Cup final. |
Mrviktor:He could have had this surgery in May after Europa final. He would have been close to full recovery by now. Rashford went to Euros to sit on the bench, contributed nothing apart from his heroic miss that could have put England ahead in the shootout. Now the club has to suffer his absence for 3 months - the most idïotic decision ever. Klopp would never ever have done this but we have a useless brainless manager at the helm. |
Nobody can tell me Ole doesn’t come to this thread to borrow ideas. ![]() So Ole has finally realized he needs to bin McFred and sign an elite DM behind Pogba and Bruno? I have been saying he should build his team like this for months. Maybe, just maybe there’s light at the end of this dark long tunnel of his career at Old Trafford.

Expert17:United knocked off like £2m a week in wages in the last 2 or 3 seasons and there’s more room to sell dormant players like Lingard, Jones, Pereira, etc. Romero has gone. The wage structure will be alright. |
larride:Ole is a rookie. You can’t place that much responsibility on his shoulders. He needs time after all, winning trophies is even an ego thing. It’s not relevant. Who cares about trophies? It can hide weakness. The most important things are the long rebuilding, the happiness of the fans(including you and I), the general positivity in the atmosphere, the cultural reboot, super talented kids are coming through from the academy. What’s not to like? ![]() |
Expert17: ![]() Even Stevie Gerrard(The pride of Liverpool) would have come to United if you had dangled £400K/week in his direction. Club rivalry, my aśs. ![]() |
Expert17:Meanwhile, Harry Kane is like the opposite. Kane is looking for trophies to win. Varane is looking for retirement money. Two contrasting destinies. |
Oasis007:I don’t disagree with this. I have mentioned it times without number that he’s better than anything we have so he’s a very very good signing. I was just speaking about the motivation behind the transfer for Varane himself. Olesexuals on social media are driving the romantic narrative that Varane woke up one evening and decided he fell in love with Ole’s methods and was desperate to play for him. ![]() |
There’s always a hater around the corner. If Chelsea FC had made this signing, you wouldn’t have the gumption to find this video of Varane. Every defender has made mistakes so take your video back to your thread. |
BlueAngel444:Thanks for the clarity. Olesexuals were pushing the agenda that Varane fell in love with Ole for losing to Villarreal and having not won a spoon in 3 years. I was confused: I keep asking myself what does a serial winner like Varane find attractive in a serial loser? Now that you have broken up the math behind the transfer, it’s very clear to me that money was the driver of this transfer. |
BlueAngel444: Oasis007:In other words, Varane came to United because we were the only club willing to double his wages at Real Madrid. He’s won it all and this is just retirement package for him in case Ole doesn’t win a spoon going forward. Varane is very very smart. |
Bombblacks:I don’t owe you a reply. If your ego is too big for you to admit you possess a morgue temperature IQ, there’s little I can do to help. I wasn’t talking to you - the person the reply was meant for understood what I was saying. So go eat a dïck and stop with this silliness of yours. |
Oasis007:This is good news. However, Was his salary mentioned or should we keep believing this 4-time CL winner, a World Cup winner really wanted to play for a serial loser like Ole? ![]() |
Bombblacks:Bros, go and display your stupïdity elsewhere. I made a statement and gave an example of entitlement and you call it shifting. I wasn’t having an argument with Raumdeuter, I wasn’t disagreeing with him but you saw what I wrote as a shift? As at the time I was making that post, I didn’t know you would bring your clownery to Nairaland……but you saw a shift? Next time, when you realize a discourse is intellectually above your level, you shut up and let those in the know carry on with the discussion. It’s not everything you see on here that you jump into like a lunatic without its bearing. |
Bombblacks:They should eat a dïck. After their violence and ruckus, what was the outcome? Have the Glazers left? |
Bombblacks:You are a lunatic. ![]() So I shifted from average fans to Bayern fans before you challenged me? As in, I saw the future and knew you would challenge me so I shifted? ![]() My God - who are these people? |
Bombblacks:There’s a clear distinction between voicing out their concerns and actually going to the stadium to riot or disrupt a game. They already have social media and plenty of forums to voice out their concerns. Taking the violent route is sheer stupidity. You will never see anyone at the cinema start a riot because of the way Tom Cruise acted in a movie. He’s a paying customer too, just like you. So why do you have such audacity while the cinema dude wouldn’t even think of it? That’s the stupid entitlement I was talking about. |
Bombblacks:So if I was talking about what Bayern fans did to Neuer, why did you involve neutral fans, spectators and tourists? This mental gymnastic is annoying. |
Bombblacks:You have moved the goalposts so many times for your stance to be valid. Go and play with a dog at the park. |
Bombblacks:Now, it’s people. ![]() It’s no longer fans? I was talking about club fans who feel entitled to remove Glazers based on their highs/dips of their emotions or the ones who had the audacity to disrupt a PL game. So don’t ask me a nonsense question. |
melodyogonna:Yes they did - otherwise the club should be bankrupt by now to the point that we are all contributing to their GoFundMe. United didn’t furlough any staff or sack anyone during the pandemic. Every employee at the club got their salary throughout. No player or laundry woman or tea lady has complained about not getting their wages. That’s thriving. |
Bombblacks:So boycotting games, disrupting a PL game is not you overrating yourself? Since all the shenanigans, have the Glazers left the club? ![]() Please, go and rest with your goalpost that kept moving from north to south. |
Bombblacks:This is what you were replying to….. So tell me how mere spectators or neutral fans would issue Fatwa on Neuer to the extent of reading him a Riot Act on how he should behave at Allianz Arena going forward….. These are the fans I was discussing with Raumdeuter. You jumped into it and told me the fans are far too important. After you got cornered, you said you meant the entire spectators, neutral fans, opposing fans and the tourists. Why would a tourist read Neuer a Riot Act? Why do you people lie unashamedly?
|
Bombblacks:What were you replying to? |
nitrogen:Let him be tying himself up in mental gymnastics. The topic started with boycott and those that disrupted a PL game last season. I said those people are too entitled and he came with fans are very important. Why would fans of other clubs or spectators join in the boycott of games or disrupt a PL game? The moment you corner these guys, they move the goalposts. |
Bombblacks:No, you didn’t. Stop lying. |
eph12:There’s no such player. Pogba talked shit about PSG and his words have come back to bite his ašs. That’s all to it. If he never mentioned anything about PSG in the past, there would be no reason to put banners everywhere. Besides - linking that to the topic we are discussing now. If the owners are keen on getting Pogba and Pogba is also keen on moving to PSG, there’s nothing the fans can do. They overrate themselves but the real power is with the owners. |
Bombblacks:Football existed before merchandise and TV. United fans are nobodies in the grand scheme of things. If you don’t watch, plenty of other people who don’t give a shit about United as a club would buy tickets just to watch Varane. |
Bombblacks:You didn’t mention spectators - you said fans(United fans). Stop moving the goalposts. |
invinzible1:And he is my favorite United striker of all time. My brain froze for few minutes. |
Bombblacks:There was football before TV and club merchandise. ![]() |
Bombblacks:“If they” - hypothetical statement. I have just told you they don’t generate all the revenue. There’s no point projecting on what is not happening. If my aunt had testicles, she would be my uncle. |
