Who is Badiashile. How good is he?

I would be very happy with Donny and Sancho this summer.

I know a defender is required I don't think that is realistic for this summer.

6 Chelsea players too apparently. Season might not restart at this rate.

Pogba has covid.

Look at the potential final 6 matches

Leeds - Away
Liverpool - Home
Villa - Away
leicester - Home
Fulham - Home
Wolves -away

We start the new season on the 19th Sep due to our involvement in the Europa league.


Crystal palace - Home
Brighton - Away
Spurs - Home


First 3 for the new season.

Spurs, Chelsea and Arsenal in Oct.

City and Leeds in Dec.

Depay can't be missing that at this level. The margins are too fine for that kind of miss.

My point is, you cannot absolve the Glazers of blame because "They have spent money". There is a lot of blame to be passed around to explain why United are where they are right now.

The ownership shows we are just a club serving profits for the owners. They are pretty much doing the minimum required to keep the club's strong brand and cash flowing to keep the profits coming.

The ownership is the reason we have Ed, someone who knows nothing about football to be in charge of one of the biggest football clubs in the world. Ed has done well on the Business side of the club but the football side he should have no hand in. A lot of our operations shows amateur hour. We simply do not know how to operate like big club anymore and havent since SAF. Even SAF was propping the club up with his work despite having his hand tied behind his back. Maybe he knew he had to accept the Glazers because he's a major reason they were able to buy the club. so he also has a hand in this current state.

This is before we even get to the football side which is a whole other conversation but a lot of these issues can be traced back to the owners.

eph12:
So let's say if the Glazers were to spend their own money too, we probably may have spent around 1b in the last 5 years right?

Truth is the Glazers werent even that rich to fund united. At the time they bought us they were probably around a billion dollars net worth for the whole family. United were valued at more than that. Compared to Roman and The Man City owners they werent rich at all. Its the money from united they have been using to fund all their other ventures which has now put them in the 5b range. still not close to Roman and the Shieks.

afrodoc2:
Maybe we would have Neymar and/or Mbappe OR been able to get Ororo back. Anyway the Glazers crippled the club long ago.

Then if we go into the details of how the money was spent or misspent, they are the ones who have allowed a finance man who knows nothing about football to be in charge of our transfers.

And this is just because they've had a play catch up. In Fergie's last 4 or so years we were barely spending despite needing significant investment. Especially after selling Cristiano.

eph12:
Okay I understand what happened now. Never bothered to look it up before.

Mrta7, technically who owns the club?

Well if they dont service the debt. The banks own the club.

so its not their money.

I dont see Liverpool, City etc with the same issue.

afrodoc2:
Not just that they borrowed money to buy the club. They secured the loans against the club's assets thereby incurring large interests which the club then had to (and continue to) pay.
Also, every year they award themselves millions of pounds as consultancy fees, then pay off some of the debt before using some of the money made by the club to pay for player purchase and salaries.

If you analyse this scenario they have not spent their personal money at all. Compare this with City, PSG e.t.c where the authentic billionaire owners augment club finances with their money in order to finance huge transfers.

Here. @eph12

eph12:
Really? Please explain

Afrodoc has explained it as well as I could.

eph12:
They own the club, it's their money

Technically that's not true at all.

Botfuss:
I pray Romero’s head catches us. Mumu ole.

Nonsense post.

I wanted Romero to start.

And Greenwood be such a great option off the bench. But we move.

Good luck to the team. See you guys on the other side.

Good day all, here's hoping for a good result today.

Pep was just being too clever for his own good.

Its always shows that winning the CL is not easy.

That Aour of Lyon na baller abeg.

I just want to say that Ed Woodward is a mumu man.


That is all.

weedtaker:
What about them and City? What are your predictions?

Hard to say. But remember football is not mathematics. A lot depends on how City lineup. Both teams are definitely vulnerable defensively but I think Bayern might have more in the midfield and attack. Both team scan go toe to toe because that is all they know. My guess would be which set of defenders makes the least amount of mistakes wins.

I just realised we're making a huge assumption that City will definitely beat Lyon.

Some of you guys are delusional. This Bayern team would wipe the stadium with us. Its almost as if you guys haven't watched us this season. It might not be 8-2 because I don't think we're washed up but Bayern are a full level above us. Make no mistake. We're simply not in that class.

I can't say too much, we face a tough Sevilla team in Sunday.

But Barca just go disgrace themselves sha.

There's one yeye Barca fan that comes to flap his gums in this thread. Hope he can keep quiet for a bit.

Out in the streets they call it murrdeerrrr

lekkie073:
is that the same Thomas Lemar that some peoole say is better than Anthony Martial?

In 2 seasons with over 70 games played he has 4 goals.

engrelvis:
Who was dat black defender of Leipzig in their yesterday match against A.madrid? D guy look solid n he got pace

Upamencano has been touted highly for a few years now. Very good defender. He's only 21 and would be a great addition to any team in the world.

handelex:
Well you play only what's in front of you, I honestly would have preferred Wolves, but fair play to Sevilla, I hope we rise up to the occasion and Rashford remembers were he kept his sense.

If Rashford can't step it up against a 34 year old Navas...

Will be a tough match but a good challenge for the team. I like games like this. I just hope the players rise to the occasion.

This keeper has been amazing.

I think he might earn himself a big move now.

Roland17:
Let me take a wild guess.. Na penalty?

Dont cry, Tell them to stop fouling our players in the box.

This Keeper. Wow

olabode89:
How Martial take miss that goal?

He didnt miss it. it was a great save. Their keeper has been amazing to be honest.
