Na here we dey

Naso now. Amorim might surprise me sha, but, I doubt it.

patrickmuf:
Which of them?

Mbuemo and Sesko are too expensive for 65-76m pounds. Does not make sense, same way we signed Erasmus and Antony for 80m each.

I believe you guys have started preparing another excuse for Amorim. We need a new set of midfielders before he can win games.

patrickmuf:
If we start performing, he will claim Amorim has gotten it right as he suggested but if things go south and Amorim if sacked, he'd be quick to say 'I told you so'...Either way, the brother doesn't want to lose...😂

Until he gets it right does mean I believe he will. My conclusions are well documented here.

TrebleChamp:
nitrogen well done, you did well this window. Larride thunder will not fire you again, abeg try add one or two midfielder and a goalkeeper to make it a perfect window...

I remember that I said they will buy players. Larride don fire himself with thunder many times.

odizeey:
This safe landing wey you keep for yourself nawa.

It’s the fact. Someone that could not use existing tools to beat relegation teams. We should have seen what he could do before going all out for him. Good thing is the signings are not for a specific style of play. So, if he gets sacked, we won’t need to buy another set of players.

ChristineC:
you saying you are not happy with the signings so far?

I am okay with the signings, but they are too expensive.

patrickmuf:
Na now Adisaaowala go know say some of us no send Amorim, we just wanted him to be provided with the right tools.

Who told you the 2024-2025 tools were not right? These things are not as they look like. Another manager might use the same condemned tools to qualify for Europe. Because Amorim came 15th does not mean the players are bad.

ChristineC:
the strategy United have approached this summer with is different.
bids have only been made after getting a greenlight from a player they are interested in or his camp. I think there were interests in Gyokeres and Osihmen as well but some terms or interests probably didn't align.

Strategy that led to paying 70-80m each for average players? There are cheaper options out there for less. In any case, until Amorim gets it right or get sacked before we can make any progress. If we like, we swap players with Bayern or Real Madrid. Same outcome is guaranteed.

Flick-ons. The need to force terms, stats and metrics on supporters and fans. Absolutely ridiculous!

If you like, buy Sesko, Beleba, Matamy, and cocoman. You will still complain about those players when they get here. Amorim is not taking us to any where.

dreamxhaser:
Honestly, saying that Amorim is the problem is a bit too harsh. The players just aren't good enough. We've had different managers, but it's the same story—so is Amorim really the problem?

Who among the players in the midfield would make it into the starting eleven for teams like Chelsea, Manchester City, or Liverpool? We all know the answer is none.

The only thing these players know how to do is play counter-attacking football. I would prefer that we just play counter attacking long balls and skip the midfield, but it seems the club doesn't want that. So let's forget about it and focus on the pressing issues.

Let's be honest, Cunha and Mbuemo made our attack more effective than the days of Rashford and his teammates. For the first time in years, I can feel some level of hope whenever the ball is moving forward, unlike before, when I was 90% certain they would make stupid runs or just pass the ball backward.

That shows you how players can change the dynamic of a team. For now, we don't have the privilege of playing every player in the position we want. The only messed-up thing is that we're going for a striker instead of a midfielder.

Lol, una no dey learn. Amorim has already purchased 3 players, plus he bought Ugarte at Sporting before United snapped him up. Until we get to 7-9 new players purchased for Amorim without any improvement in play before una eyes go clear.

Well, I won’t be surprised if at that time, you and your guys come here to tell us that he has not been given his players.

We dey here together!

Me sef dey here.

We are playing better today. Although Westham just scored a beauty after beating our press.

I don’t know how we plan to win or draw any of our first five games with the way we play. Another relegation battle loading?

CrystalTiger:
Just saw the pic below on Twitter, Amorim or not, if we can't score goals this coming season, then the entire club should be shut down..

What do you mean by Amorim or not? This will solely be on Amorim if we don’t score goals in the coming season.

eph12:
ETH made top 4, then made top 8 I think, then got Hojlund as his main striker that has never scored more than 10 goals in a season I think. Then he bought another half or semi striker. Mourinho made top 4 and won Europa, then wept bitterly for lack of players. We have been here long enough to know that when we make champions league, the club become reluctant to spend. Its only when we loose out that they start panic buying players for unnecessary amount and offering undeserving wages to players. We were not born yesterday

I agree with you. The above happened under the Glazers. Thank goodness we have someone else calling the shots. I am sure it would be different this time. If we make UCL, we will spend more to go for the league title. At this time, it’s looking like survival mode under Amorim. Top 8 will be a significant progress vs last season’s 15-17th position.

I am genuinely surprised to hear from folks here that we want the club to sign players for the club and not the manager. That’s good news, and I believe Sir Jim is working towards that. I just hope that you guys won’t come back saying that we did not buy players that can play Amorim’s 3-4-3 formation.

eph12:
No top manager will be happy to work with the tools we currently have. Even those that are optimistic, their optimism will clear after some games.

Only average and below average managers that are just happy to be the manager of Manchester United will be satisfied with the players we have currently. Their only goal will be to manage the situation and try to make top 4 as much as possible. Nothing more

Let’s start from trying to make top 4. Whether we buy a brand new squad or not, we are not competing for the title in 2-3 years from now. Infact, Amorim should make top 8 first with what he has, or do we need a brand new squad to make top 8?

Englishisamust:
I don't know wetin concern unaa with man u finances . I don't know whether some people dey work remotely as financial manager or accountant for man u.. make man u sign players that's all we want. By now we should have buy 2 solid midfielders and one keeper with one more attacker.. Na old cargo like casemiro u go still see for line up in the opening match and u go tell me one manager will perform miracle with this team!!!...

Lol. Typical football fans. Sign players, sign players! You think say na leaves dem dey use sign players?

patrickmuf:
You think you are making sense, right?

You sign a manager because you see him doing well at another club...He played a certain way, and that is what attracted you, but when he arrives, instead of giving him the resources he needs to deliver and begin to tell him stories...Are you not incompetent?

If the board you so love to defend are not incompetent, why did they opt for Amorim, who favours a 3-5-2 formation instead of a coach who plays 4-3-3?

If can't see that the board is to be blamed in all of these then, I can't help you nor can anyone here.

Did you see Chelsea vs PSG? Did you read comments from Palmer and how he praised his manager for his flexibility to take advantage of PSG’s weakness? Have you ever seen Amorin adjust or react to the opposition’s strategy before or during games? I don’t care whatever style you are bringing, just play to the strength of your team and be a bit flexible until you get tools that would work for whatever you are doing otherwise, na relegation, especially in the EPL. We saw that last season and may not escape it this season unless something happens.

Some of you think that things must be on a straight line.

patrickmuf:
Who are the players that left and started balling? McTominay? Lol...We all saw him at United, he is just there.

Who else? Rashford? Antony? They were so good that Villa and Betis didn't buy them for less than half their market value?

Nobody is making excuses for Amorim...We are asking the management of the club to back him up in the transfer market like other clubs are doing, so that he doesn't have any excuses if and when he fails...

Imagine a Spurs fan arguing that since they won the Europa League, Thomas Frank should work with players at his disposal rather than sign Kudus and Gibbs White...Won't you think the fan is mad?

Patrick, don’t do this now. We all know that the players you mentioned did / are doing great outside UTD. Let’s be honest, we (everyone including the fans) have a way of de-marketing players and making them look so bad that even other clubs will struggle to take a chance on them.

Leyqute:
LMAO.

Go all out like when you pursued Sancho for 2 years and eventually signed him for the asking price? Or when you panicked and bought Casemiro and Antony for big bucks after ETH lost consecutive games at the beginning of the season?

LMAO.

Did we sign players for previous managers or not? Whether they were panic or expensive buys, we backed all our previous managers. Unfortunately, not enough funds this time, plus it seems the new sheriff is not a fan of sufficiently backing people that can’t show workings.

dreamxhaser:
Honestly, if I were Amorim, I would play complete counter-attack football next season, which is this player's strongest skill set. I promise you will finish in the top four.

The season Erik ten Hag finished in the top four was because he quickly switched to a counter attack strategy in his first season after a few matches.
We mustn't play beautiful football. Counter-attack is something that's very effective in winning tournaments like the UCL. As for the league, it will give us a comfortable top-four finish.

With time, we can gradually readjust the squad to suit the style of play that would win the domestic league.

This is the flexibility we asked for last season. They said he won’t be able to switch back.

We have backed managers with several new players in the past. At this time and given our finances, it’s impossible to do so, we can only do so much for now. The only reasonable thing is for Amorim to show workings and his mettle by hook or crook before we can go all out to change the squad for him.

That guy and his supporters are just too rigid and stubborn/incorrigible.

NinjaMetahuman:
Just know that you are a small club if white house never post your victory before.


You are following a small club

Thunder fire your left ball.

Ellexy:
Truth is, if you ask these sudden mentality monsters about their expectations for the coming season, it will amaze you to find what they'll say.... Finish top 8 with one local trophy.


🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Swear down, even if they buy 11 players for him on or before August 21 when the season starts, they will say a top 8 finish is realistic given what happened last season.

Awon mentality monsters!

dreamxhaser:
Honestly Trevor and the other guy are overly reactive regarding Amorin matter.

Let’s wait this season and see! There will be no excuses. Let give him the full season and see.

Are you guys okay? Amorim had almost the full season last season, no? and the result was 15th position, this season, na 17th we dey look so o.

larride:

Thunder will locate you, nitrogen, INEOS, Ratface, Glazers and everyone that liked that you stupid post.

You don funk up with this list wey you share. How many of the above players played for Chelsea last season or are part of the first team? You went on transfermarket to fetch all players signed by Chelsea in the last 1-5 years. Chai!

I don’t even know why Larride keeps mentioning me in every of his post. The Glazers are not in charge anymore. It’s Sir Jim, and he’s been performing the wonders Glazers decided not to perform, no?

larride:
Chelsea has bought 15 players for Maresca, 15. All within 12 months. If you add Sancho on loan that's 16 players.

But nitrogen is telling us because his ogas bought players for Ten Hag, Amorim must use the players to succeed by fire by force.

Thunder fire you once again nitrogen.

Nawa o, you and this thunder that has been firing you since last week. Una go dey alright.

Trevor012:
Losers will always look for excuse. Maresca has shown working, Amorim should show his own workings. Too much talk nor dey full belly.

You go fear plenty epistles na. Show workings, na story we see. Lol.

Oasis007:
......same Maresca that some Chelsea fans called for his sack?! Infact majority of them wanted him out.

Guess what changed?! New Signings.

Yes, Joao Pedro is new and was signed from Brighton. But I guarantee you that the guy is average. Btw, is Palmer a new signing? You want to take away the manager’s effect. Issokay!
