From 30 league goals in la Liga to having a miserable 4 goals in league 1 by May. When we called Messi a system player who can only perform when everything goes through him it was not cap . He really enjoyed playing in la Liga all through his career winning ballon dor and European golden boot on the back of la Liga tax. If Messi had left la Liga early, he won't have more than 3balon dor to his name.

All top players or past winners of the balon d'or see most of the ball during games...

See how Bruno wasted a good shooting opportunity because he wanted to find Ronaldo...Before Ronaldo rejoined United, Bruno in that position and it's a shot at goal...

Roland17:
Ebening and Villarreal , make una just respect una selves and lay down for Liverpool because they are our only hope against this Bald Bi-Polar

I no hide mouth talk am.. I am a renowned proud hater of the Bald-Bipolar

Pep is a great coach but I don't want him to win the UCL with City...

Gann:
is there a player who does this in the current team? maybe Dalot and Lindelof.
Bruno hardly stays on the ball anyway.

Varane and Sancho are also cool with the ball...

Expert17:
So why do you want to bench Bruno?

Because he is not as comfortable as the others in playing fast paced one touch possession football...

Oasis007:
.... and he's just 24yrs old. You think he's gonna be a good fit for United? Playing along Bruno and DVB in Midfield?

Cc GloryIsaac

I'll play him along side a more physical midfielder in the mould of Bissouma with VDB slightly higher up...Bruno? Bench...

Sorry Expert...

Oasis007:
Based on Rumors, ETH wants him at United. Is he gonna be an upgrade?

Yes, he is a very good midfielder...He is a controller in the middle of the park.

MRTA7:
Can we please rename this thread to the Messi V CRonaldo thread.

We can then create a new one for man utd starting next season.

Repeat the same argument week in, week out and neither camp is willing to shift ground...

I realized earlier on that it was just time wasting but it appears some folks here have all the time in the world to engage in a worthless debate day after day repeating themselves every other time...

FergieRaww:
Congrats in advance for the 2022/23 season also

When Buhari leaves office he'll start talking about restructuring and state policing...Wait for it...

I hope we qualify for the Europa league at least just so we can use the competition to give our youngsters the much needed minute they need for their development...

With ETH coming in, I am curious to see what role the likes of Hannibal, Garner, Amad, Garnacho and Laird will play...

Amad and Pellestri might be sent out on loan again because they have not had a successful season out on loan...

Make una carry this Ronaldo vs Messi talk comot for here...Una dey derail big time...

Mrviktor:
If I were d manager tho.

Il sell Henderson
Loan Aaron
Bring back Brandon to fight with dalot.
Bench Fred.
Leave mactominay.
Bench sancho till he adapts
Build around Rashford
Sell martial
Sell amad
Sell baily
Loan magawaya
Bench degea buy pope

Sign only 2 players..
Ruben neves and tilemans


Squad goal. Top 4

Look at this clown...

You know how much we paid for Amad?

Build around Rashford? My friend, be kiaful!

TLona1:
Erik Ten Slag this season:

-Bottled supercup to PSV losing 4-1 at their own stadium

-Bottled UCL to a shit Benfica

-Bottled cup final to PSV who played Leicester 3 days prior

-Possibly bottling the league to PSV despite referee robberies

United is signing mid once again.

Absolute BS!

Try again...

Brah, the fighting spirit is there, this team has always come back to win some games after conceding stupid goals. The problem is, the manager cant even inspire the most inspired of them (Ronaldo). You need to see/hear the lies he peddles about his players in a bid to avoid questions from the press.

He is just on the touch line looking like a mumu, body language is shitty, very few tactical input etc, and you expect the players to continue to impress. E.g Magwaya should be on the bench for a while because he is shitty, but your manager has refused to bench him. Highline turns Maguire to a stup1d player, and the man keeps playing him. Does it make any sense?

When you read that ETH in the course of negotiations insisted that he has some of control in terms of who is signed, sold or has his contract extended, what is it you made of the demands?

ETH must have spoken to other greats who have struggled at the club especially Van Gaal hence his demands. Do you think that as an interim, Rangnick will wield as much influence to make key decisions? Maguire has been trash but he retains his place in the team. From Ralf's pressers, you can infer that if he had the control he desires, a lot of players won't make the match day squad...

nitrogen:
When did the players down tools? Where is the evidence? They downed tools against Atletico? Also downed tools against Everton and Norwich? I don’t understand. These guys (Bruno, Ronaldo, DDG, Varane, Sancho etc) wanna play UCL football. Not like all of them can run to another club at the end of the season. So, I don’t get the stuff around downing tools, it’s not a good excuse.

Have you been watching our games? Away from the manager, have you seen any fighting spirit in the way we have approached games?

I think some of the players if not most have downed tools while Rangnick has shown that he can only do it his way...

A manager that is flexible would've peppered over the cracks with his set up but then again, it does the team no good in the long run.

I will fault the players for not trying enough and Rangnick for his lack of flexibility...

You are right. One crucial question apart from HOW MANY PLAYERS will leave is WHICH PLAYERS will leave.

I have no idea how this transfer window will go but i suspect 2 or 3 players will be promoted from the youth setup to augment 4 or 5 incoming players.

I am kind of happy Pogba is out injured. Hannibal will get more minutes...

Megatrix:
So why wasn't US players banned for their country attacking several other nations in conjunction with the british? They lied that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, invaded the country, removed and hanged the president but no weapons of mass destruction was found, is that not infringement of people's rights?

Double standards bro...A shame!

But when the Nigerian government interferes with NFF, FIFA will ban the NFF...Now, we are seeing how much they uphold their rules and regulations when it comes to their own...

afrodoc2:
The same players that came 2nd under Mourinho suddenly became useless and packed it in the next season and got him sacked by Christmas.
If the season was under a new manager people would have said the new manager was bad and that we should have kept Mourinho.

The same players that went on several weeks winning run under interim manager Ole suddenly went on several weeks losing run under permanent manager Ole. If it had been a different manager that was appointed permanent manager people would have said we should have kept Ole as manager.

The same players that came 2nd under Ole became crap next season and got him sacked by Christmas (despite adding a potential GOUT, a world class defender, and a highly rated talent).
If it was under a new manager people would have said we should have stuck with Ole.

These players are professional coach killers. If you decide to still be deceived by them you are O.Y.O.
And if ten Hag decides to stick with most of them as the core of his team then he too will chop breakfast.

Ralf has said they'll be a lot of players leaving and coming in...

Matic is confirmed. I expect Jones, Lingard, Mata, Bailly, Cavani and Pogba to leave...

The chances of Maguire, AWB and Henderson staying depends on whether or not they'll settle for a bench role...Left for me, I'd rather we keep Dalot as a backup RB (I am not so certain if Laird will be ready) and sell AWB...

ETH has to make a decision of which one of Telles or Shaw he'll keep...In midfield, I see us signing at least one DM and a CM depending on what Ten Hag makes of Garner and Hannibal...

We still need to go all out for a RWF and possibly a CF (I don't see Ronaldo settling for a place in the Europa or Conference league)...

Depending on what Ten Hag thinks of Rashford and Martial, we might end up signing at least 3 forward players...

In all, I think some changes will be made but I still think some of this players will be here next season as I don't see us signing up to 7-8 players come summer...

jmoore:
Below is the list of what most states in USA charge for a candidate that wants to partake in primaries.

Governor: $5,000.
U.S. Senate: $5,000.
U.S. House: $2,500.
State Senate: $1,000.
State House: $500.
Judicial offices: $500.
Countywide elected offices: $100.
County Commission or Constable: $25.

Let's compare one state in USA and a country called Nigeria.

GDP of Texas 2021: 2.0 Trillion dollars
Budget of Texas 2021: 261.5 billion dollars.
Presidential aspirants in Texas pay a $5,000 filing fee.

GDP of Nigeria 2021: 446.9 billion dollars
Budget of Nigeria 2021: 23.3 billion US dollars (13.6 trillion naira)
APC presidential form: 170,940 US dollars (100 million naira)

Compare that to a poor country called Nigeria. APC decided to set the price of governorship at $85,470 (50 million naira). That is 16 times more than what is paid in USA. While that of president set at 170,940 US dollars (100 million naira) is 34 times more than what is paid in USA.

Until INEC sets a REASONABLE limit on how much political parties can charge, this ridiculous trend will continue.

Are our destinies tied to APC and PDP?
Many are complaining that these top two parties are disenfranchising young candidates with their prices. We have more younger people than old people. If only many Nigerians think like me, APC and PDP would have been abandoned for a long time. But most of the electorates love 'abusive relationship'.

If in other countries, a young person can win an election with a unpopular party, why can't it happen in Nigeria?

It's just crazy...The system promotes corruption...

In the end, he went ahead to confirm what El Rufai said instead of dismissing the comment...

afrodoc2:
I have not heard any news on Greenwood. He surely is not playing this season and probably never again for the club. The boy should be allowed to tackle the charges and fight to ensure his freedom first. Football is secondary for now.

Levitt is doing well in the Scottish premier league. The question mark with him is lack of size and strength. Technically he is good enough. It would be interesting to see what ten Hag decides at the end of preseason with regards to the large number of young players on loan and in the academy. They are playing 2 games in my city so hopefully i will be there.

I am just sad for Greenwood...

I just hope Ten Hag will resume early enough and we conclude our business in the market early because we have always been known to drag feet...

Afrodoc2, any news on Greenwood?

How about Levitt too?

At least Hannibal, Garner and other promising youngsters are guaranteed minutes provided they take their chances...

What exactly is Fletcher's role at the club?

With Ten Hag, we will be signing players with huge potentials for around 35-40m...I don't want us going after players that cost outrageous fees...

Another good thing is that Ten Hag is the first team manager and not coach so, he will be extensively involved in deciding who comes, goes and whose services will be needed (contract extension)...Exciting times ahead.

GloryIsaac:
Have you noticed the way he looks at the team when they’re losing?

If given the chance, that man will sell 95% of the players we parade...I think we will see more of Hannibal and other academy kids...

TrebleChamp:
To think the Glaziers did spend money (£1bn+) on transfer, makes it even more sickening that we parade this type of players. Woodward made a huge of mess of the resource, signing useless players for crazy transfer fee. Rafiu looks to have press the reset button, make we patiently wait to see result...

I strongly believe some people steal money in the name of transfer fees...

Ralf has started his consultancy already...Baba no dey sound like coach again...

Make I go watch the highlights of the game...Yesterday, I avoided the match entirely...

Skimpledawg:
They did Rooney bad..

Derby is headed for administration if they don't get a new owner ASAP...

MRTA7:
Don't we have an official Cristiano V Messi thread for all this nonsense?

It's sickening...You won't even find Barcelona and Madrid fans doing this thing...

lastchild:
yes, but he didn't choose it.

for example, i teach in a school, anytime i give them class work, i already know who would carry last, but I didn't decide it.

God knows our ending which is an outcome of our choice

Your analogy doesn't apply in this case because you already know the brain capacity of your student hence you can easily say who will pass or not...At birth, it's not possible for your to predict which path a child will follow however, God already knows...You knew Hitler will cause the death of millions of people from birth and even made a Priest save a frowning Hitler in his younger days...I don't think it's sensible for anyone to say Hitler is a bad person because his creator already knew his end from the beginning...

We are only acting a script...We don't have the power of CHOICE...
