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.

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!

dreamxhaser:
Because it’s Chelshit and I don’t want to see any Barca player win the ballon Dior

I hear you. Abeg, its good to show PSG that they not invisible.

eph12:
They have been buying. They have also found ways to sell off some unwanted players for good money

You forgot to add that they seem to have gotten a good manager as well.

dreamxhaser:
Omo this thing don spoil my mind! Wanted PSG to whoop this guys mehn

Lol, why?

MorataFC:

Wetin concern nitrogen?
Na him be their broker or sport investment consultant?😂😂😂

I tire o, see as the stray bullet fly come my side.

larride:
A very useless billionaire.

E no go better for Glazers who sold this club to a Chelsea fan.

Thunder go fire nitrogen too

Wetin I do you now? Thunder fire you too!

Lol, careful what you ask for. Sir Jim is worse.

patrickmuf:
PSG first thought it was about buying star players and paying over the odds wages but not anymore, now they go after players who fit are technically gifted and are committed to their project. PSG has seen the light, they now spend wisely. We don't need players that cost over 80m to be competitive.

Liverpool just signed Kerkez for 40m...
We have offered more to sign Mbeumo than Joao Pedro cost Chelsea...
Arsenal signed Zubimendi for less than we paid for Casemiro...
How much did Frimpong cost Liverpool?
Cherki?

There's value in the market as long as you're not after established names.

How come PSG suddenly started buying supposedly ‘average’ players and turned them to a functioning team, after the new manager joined?

Btw, we wanted to sell Bruno, Onana etc to raise money but Amorim said they are key to his team, also, I am sure Amorim has already indicated the type of players he needs, maybe they are not average players that would be easy to buy as there is no CL games next season and not enough money. You can’t just make conclusions because not a lot of Utd’s dealings is leaking to the press this time.

Ellexy:
A commercial documentary is the least of our worries right now, and I genuinely commend Amorim for pushing back on the idea. This isn’t just about money, the timing isn't good and the little brand pride we still have is at stake.

We are at our lowest point in decades, and you actually think it’s a good time to film the behind the scenes of this ongoing disaster? From the coaching staff clearly out of their depth, to the circus running things behind the scenes, all it’ll do is turn our decline into content.
Haven't we been memed enough...

Lol. I hope you read what you quoted.

Mrviktor:
🚨 EXCL: Man Utd end secret talks over record-breaking Amazon series. Deal for well in excess of £10m off after months of dialogue. Ruben Amorim opposed + #MUFC aligned on final decision - football/commercial/timing reasons. W/ @AdamCrafton_ @TheAthleticFC

Nawa. See deal that will help a bit our financial situation being rejected. Anyways, I do agree that we don’t need to add this to the spotlights our players are currently ‘enjoying’. But I honestly don’t know why Amorim is having a say in something like this sha. Ineos is giving this guy too much relevance abeg. From Bruno and Onana staying to this. Damnit!

larride:
If him papa no give ham, na me him papa go give?

Naso dem dey do na. Make papa dey dish out funds for him mature pikin’s stupid desires? We are talking about $6bn here o. That guy is not even fronting for the family nor is he the face of Qatar and the sovereign wealth fund.

Kontinu!

larride:
nitrogen come outside.

Bull shit bid from someone that is worth $1.2bn and could not provide proof of sufficient funds. You think that his father will just give him 6 bn to pay for the Utd acquisition?

Some of you are just meh!

Every player is better than Utd players. As soon as they get here, the players become shyte and they ask for another set of players. Rinse and repeat. God go help us.

larride:
Yes now, na fans for YouTube dey make key club decisions for man Utd.

😂😂😂😂

Lol. You have no idea what you are talking about. Meanwhile your next post after this kind of corroborate my point. What is applicable to the youth players is also to the experienced ones. Over 70% of those we signed and later released were doing well before we got them and at least 50% of them have gone on to perform well post UTD. The pressure is just too much. We are utd, we had Ronaldo, Scholes and Giggs, these set of players can’t presss, yen yen yen.

Other fan bases don’t do this shyte!

Leyqute:
You don’t commit resources to a manager, you commit resources to your club.

Aguero, kDB, David Silva were already at City before Pep came along.

Chelsea bought Cole Palmer before they signed their current manager.

The Slot that won the league last season with Liverpool did so with a squad built by the previous manager.

It’s not just about getting a manager his players. That’s the mistake we’ve been making. It’s about getting really good players into the team.

Recruit genuinely good players and give them a good working environment and they’ll thrive irrespective of who the coach is.

What we have now is a mix of good and terrible players in a toxic work environment. You can never win with that combination.

What makes you think that the manager will not have a major say in transfer decisions? And if we have a manager that is playing a certain system, he will always favour and push for players that fit his philosophy.

TrebleChamp:
Elanga sef was also a deadwood at United, but Newcastle dey offer £50m to sign him from Nottingham Forest.
Many of the players we (me included) called deadwood are doing well away from United, leave one to wonder what is really wrong at the club...

Fans are the number one culprit with the unnecessary pressure they put on players. Gone are the days of no social media when players don’t see anything else except what’s in the papers and on match days. These days, both players and fans are on social media. The level of toxicity thrown at our players is just insane, very few players will perform well after seeing the toxic comments.

Unfortunately, the media has realized this and is very happy to help débase our players just to feed and massage the egos of Utd fans. Funny thing is, there are several fans that are now in the media via vlogs and YouTubing. Those ones are interestingly followed religiously by a section for the fans.

Not saying owners and board have not contributed, but man, majority of our fans are just ridiculous.

metodman:
At this rate, na to just dey check the full-time scores like I did last season. My kids are too young to lose me over a club that will only get serious when it's sold to serious owners. Nigerian politicians are angels compared to the owners we have in this club.

Only people winning here are the Glazers... they always win.

No one is winning. We need to get our acts together and dig ourselves out of the hole we are in. It’s not about spending heavily again, we need to see if Amorim can do anything worthy next season before committing lots of resources. Plus we need certainty of revenues before going on a spending spree, and hopefully that comes via Europe qualification by hook or crook.

Trevor012:
They compare yourself to people playing and earning money from club world cup and champions league next season. Compare yourself to Liverpool that are playing champions league football next season and didn't spend a dime last season. United have spent nearly 500million over the last two seasons with no champions league football to bring in extra funds yet you wont apply common sense and actually ask sensible questions about the club finances before asking for 20 new signings few weeks into the transfer window.

Don’t mind them. If we sign more than 2 players this window without selling some players, na miracle. We all talked about the repercussions of not qualifying for UCL via Europa league. Simple as ABC, revenue will dip significantly next season. It’s a mess that needs to be fixed by finishing decently in the league next season and hopefully qualify for Europa so we can start talking about spending heavily again.

The crazy transfer expectations is just beyond me. I hope our fans will start getting realistic and thoughtful with these things.

Where is the money to buy players? You finished 15th after spending hundreds of millions last year, and you are expecting to spend more this summer. I thought we all agreed that we can’t compete for the EPL next season, we just need to use whatever is available to make top 6/8 or something and then build from there.

Trevor012:
First half suppose be 4 to 5 zero yet na mistake set piece this Psg use score. Fifa fit don ask them to even lose this game o.

Lol, na 4:0 already na

Mrviktor:
Our first 12 games are bloody..

17 Aug: Arsenal (H)
23 Aug: Fulham (A)
30 Aug: Burnley (H)

13 Sep: Manchester City (A)
20 Sep: Chelsea (H)
27 Sep: Brentford (A)

4 Oct: Sunderland (H)
18 Oct: Liverpool (A)
25 Oct: Brighton & Hove Albion (H)

Of course, every EPL game will look bloody, given what happened last season. Only games with bottom teams will not look bloody.

eph12:
I'm asking because you seem to imply that they are not good enough and we shouldn't be going after them

Nope, I am mainly concerned about the fees.

eph12:
The players the club are currently chasing, do you think they're good enough for the club?

Of course. I only worry that we might overpay for them. Why did you ask sef?
