Lol... Wetin he won for Utd when he wab win for Portugal 😬

LordAdam16:
i am a fan of ronaldo
but age has caught up to him
he still has the leap and he is still the greatest finisher
but he is not that dynamic anymore

i don't even think he had a bad game yesterday
it is just that in a wc knockout game, the coach should be able to try different approaches
and cr7 made that impossible

---

i firmly believe the game would have gone to extra time if ronaldo had been subbed off at the 60-70 minute mark

would portugal win? maybe not
but at least everyone would have played a role
and there will be an acceptance that the team did all it could

instead the game winner against croatia never played a minute of a game that was 0-0 in the 90th minute
that makes no sense
how many minutes of this world cup did trincao and ramos play?

---

let me put it simply
portugal's wc campaign was a disaster for several reasons
i'm not saying it is all on ronaldo
personally, i think mendes not being fit played a bigger role in their underwhelming performance
and a different coach could have made cr7 stubbornness a moot point

i'm only saying ronaldo's stubbornness made it impossible for them to explore all the many different ways the team could have played

the next coach should sit with the portuguese fa and tie cr7's call-up to willingness to not have veto power over when he starts or is substituted
at this point, it is better to lose without ronaldo than to lose with ronaldo
yes, we're finally here
otherwise, in two years, he will still be demanding he plays 90 minutes against france in the euros at 43 while getting walloped 5-0

Glad we were not insane enough to pay 85M for Fernandes. Premier league clubs are something else.

How shall we breathe now when some people's worst nightmare, the one that has lived rent free in their kom kom heads just landed something saucy at AC MILAN

Where are the detractors? Come and line up and decide amongst unaselves who dies first

Somebody should drag that Jamiu_whatever to lead this procession of wailers and tell him to dress them in sackclothes and ashes.

So much delusion in this thread it's such a wonder

afrodoc:
It is true.

After getting Ederson I don’t think we should get both Fernandes and Scott.

Fernandes and a more defensive midfielder would make more sense.

dreamxhaser:
The thing is most players you think are elites are just above average at best. The difference is a good manager, system, and motivation (if the players are ready to give their all to the club).


Some players you think are elite under pep might flop and become mid under Amorim. We have seen examples here at united where players we thought were finished suddenly became better because Carricks system suits them and they were more motivated.


A squad that is made of above average players, with two or three elite players like bruno are capable of winning anything as long as the system suits them, and they are motivated.

Dangote don slap everybody into reality say not just anybody can own a piece of his refinery.

Man Utd have had 12 months to sort out their abysmal midfield. They should be throwing everything at Anderson. He’s worth more than £120m.

When Arsenal signed Rice 3 years ago for £105m, Rice wasn’t this “Anderson” good. We have seen players like Caicedo and Enzo Fernandes with £100m+ fees many years ago. Why is INEOS reluctant to pay the top dollar for an amazing player?

What’s happening Brothers & Sisters?

Where’s Expert17, Joezinho & KingAlabi?

patrickmuf:
He wouldn't be a bad choice to be honest.

As for the midfield, we should be going all out for Tonali because it seems City are going to get Anderson.

CrystalTiger:
Was really looking forward to us getting either Guimaraes or Tonali from Newcastle..Not sure that'll be possible again with the Hall news gathering momentum..

Glad we're conducting our business early before we wait small now, come get scammed by one tournament wonder lol

Ellexy:
I hope he turns out well, so far INEOS have been spot on with transfers.

Ellexy:
Ederson welcome to Old Trafford.

CAPdan21:
They have been cases of many popular monikers in this forum that suddenly went inactive without any warnings...Who knows how many of them Nigeria has happened to, it's possible that we've scrolled past stories of their misfortune without knowing...Anyone who has sold his conscience to defend this incompetent and wicked government is free to... According to Tow Wambsgans "what do I need a soul for"...Reality is undefeated

spillo1:
For less than the quoted sum last season no problem. Glad he reduced his value can't see Brighton asking for more than €60m now.

spillo1:
In what universe is this a win for United when he has already achieved his aim of going to the world cup? He can decide to stay at united and earn 300k weekly while doing nothing and we miss out on getting any fee.

Leyqute:
Hope we won’t be saying the same thing about Anderson a year from now.

I’m always cautious about paying hefty sums for players who haven’t replicated the same level of performance for years.

donjazzet:
There is no denying that Obi is a behemoth. The minute he joined NDC, it became a force to be reckoned with. The names I'm seeing that have joined is just astonishing.
Atiku really f'd up big time. He should have supported Obi in ADC.
