I'm actually glad about Eriksen. Good player. Hope we never have to watch McFred play together again

afrodoc2:


Hahaha. Nah. I actually saw those Stretford Paddock guys walking around outside the stadium like lost men on my way out. I almost shouted
"Stretford Paddock" but i comported my self.

CockAndBullStor:
Whoever is looking forward to the season with a hope of difference, I am sorry you are on a long thing. There seem to be no end in sight with the look 9f things.
EtH stubbornness to suck the butt of Maguire would cost him darely.

Fabrizio Romano: Frenkie de Jong deal, Barça president Laporta says: “It’s not true that we are forced to sell Frenkie de Jong, this is not correct”.

“Frenkie’s trip to the United States will be decided by Xavi”.

Official: Christian Eriksen signs for Manchester United on a three-year contract.

It is unfortunate. Iqbal and Savage understand the role of central midfielders so much more than McFred it is unreal. Then the gulf in technical ability is shocking. McTominay is definitely using quota system cos there is no way he is a ten Hag style midfielder. I wasn't even really excited with the academy performance in the 2nd half cos that 1st half midfield performance was still hurting me in the soul.

If we start McFred we will surely lose out on top 4. Those academy boys are however not ready for EPL level challenge so we need to add 1 or 2 midfielders as a matter of urgency. If not we will be back here in December with another interim manager as it is our usual tradition.

Christian Eriksen: "I still have major ambitions in the game, there is a huge amount that I know I can achieve, and this is the perfect place to continue my journey."

ChristoBam:

Who is the individual ?

A well run club will sell one of the two.

Yep, someone f,cked up the press, which caused a domino effect of the thing falling apart leading to the goal. I suspect it was shaw. But it's good that Ten Hag is not hanging the player out to dry. It's just pre season, mistakes are allowed. Hopefully the person learns from it.

Pressing is a very delicate thing, an overzealous pressing from a player or a lack of commitment to the pressing by another player can easily f*CK it up.

Look at Robertson overzealous pressing in the UCL final costing Liverpool. The worst part is that the fool choose to press one of the most press resistant players in the world.

Mctominay is even more surprising. Cos in the Scottish national team, they don't even rate him as a midfielder, they just relegated him to defense, and only gets to play whenever they play a back 3, just to tell you how bad it is.

No wonder Ten hag is standing on their neck to get him De Jong by fire by force.

Ten Hag might be a good coach but he himself knows that he's not a magician and can't turn some players into Pirlo

Both Fred and McTominay will mess up their first touch and turn their 2nd touch into a tackle.

Fred's case is mainly due to poor composure and concentration while McTominay just lacks the technique. Outside height and strength there are between 4 and 6 academy players better than McTominay already and Fred's case is only marginally better.

Mikechinos:
his strength is useless he doesn't even do the basic work of a midfielder. No need it's better he learns his trade elsewhere. Really we need to move mtcm he's really useless. No special talent can't mark can't defend can't pass his is rubbish

lol I used to think he can still mark

Like play, ETH is turning Telles into a Center back sha

I have always maintained that we need at least two first team midfielders. Even if we get FDJ, that's just one out of the two we need. If not, it will be a miracle if we make top 4

Eriksen nko?

Il love to see this guy..sancho and martial link up.

The 3 Masters of closed space control in our team..

eph12:

We warned you

Relax.

You still have a bad first touch lol

Fabrizio Romano: Barcelona director Mateu Alemany on de Jong deal: “Frenkie is a very important player and we count on him. But we know La Liga's Fair Play tells us to sell players”.

“I can’t say more [on Frenkie deal and Man Utd]”.

nitrogen:


Eriksen nko?

He and Bruno should occupy same position. He's not a suitable replacement for any of McFred

Leyqute:


Relax.

You still have a bad first touch lol

ETH is working on that. You people are finished as soon as ETH finishes his magic

Lol, treating the ball like it's a fireball. Not surprised they hardly make penetrating passes, the opportunity is gone after they're done controlling the ball.

Welcome lad, i pray you do well for us...

Take it easy alaye

I think VDB can be a backup striker us, man has good movement in the box. For midfield he shys away from d ball too much or doesn't want to hold on to it, rather a quick 1 2.

Trevor012:
Malacia, Eriksen, Martinez and De Jong are almost done. Anthony you are next!!

Anthony you are next

Kilishihunter:

Fact? But fdj himself hasn't come out to say that's the sole reason na even his agents, His contract expires in 2026, His deferred salary is £14m from the restructured one in the pandemic, there are to be added to his normal salary not jam-packed into one, What we are trying to avoid is his loyalty, performances, title bonusess that will increase widely every season till it expires, The deferred payments are separate chief
The thing be say, both of us won't even agree on this matter as it's logical for both parties to get their best interests, Let's just see how it ends

Barcelona are trying to reduce their wage bill, yes or no?

Do you think the likes of Lewandowski, Pedri, Fati, Auba etc won't look at FDJ's wages and want to at least be at parity with him? It the reason Laporta wants to offload him but he isn't keen on leaving not until the money he is owed is sorted out. It's simply drawing inference from the facts before us...

I think we should let Shaw go now. this board need to redevelop the habit of not rewarding underperformance.
he's been at United long enough, earns good wages and been average for most of it. it will be bad if he leaves on a free transfer like Pogba.
Telles and the new guy should compete for the role. Fernandez can replace Telles after a season on loan.

Yep......
Look at Robertson overzealous pressing in the UCL final costing Liverpool. The worst part is that the fool choose to press one of the most press resistant players in the world.

Na so Robertson take collect stray bullet on top magwaya effect

We need to offload one of either McTominay or Fred.

But Elanga needs to be loaned out sha. And can chong take that RW or Greenwood Space? He should be able to handle it well.
