The greatest manager of all time - unlike that bald fraud at Man City that needed $1 billion to get into UCL semifinal.

.....Says the fraud who wants his team to spend £1b in order to compete with Man city.

You and confusion na 5&6

Bombblacks:
Everybody's got some power of insight looking back now.. If any of Owen, Valencia, Di Maria, Depay or Sanchez worked out, this would be a moot discussion about 2009 and we'll be talking of how shrewdly we replaced Ronaldo.

All I see are revisionism

Man Utd spent good money bought players the coaches messed up not the owners fault

Pep was going for Maguire, Fred and Alexis before Man Utd hijacked them, Assuming Pep got them, the same fans will say, what was Glazer looking at while Pep was getting these good players

Mahrez was in the market for 2 seasons no one looked at him, Pep signed him now they are saying he is the greatest. John Stones that everyone used to laugh at is now the great defender. If Man Utd had bought John Stones, I wonder the type of abuse Glazers would have received.

Everyoe shouting Sporting Director, How many clubs in England had them? In England the manager assumes all these roles like Ferguson and Wenger did

Lol, Morgan Schnerderlin, even that Sanchez swap...

Schnerderlin was balling that year (same with Ndidi now), we signed him and everything changed...

Sanchez was signed to give us that R. Van Persie feeling, it was a risk worth taking

We are blaming Glazers now, make una calm down

Exactly my point. What caused man u setback is chop and change of coaches. Most will say guardiola spent £1b but nobody will talk about the stability and easy players' transitioning he brought unlike the chop and change been experienced by man u.

Van gaal bought good young players... Only shaw and martial is present.
Mourinho bought players... Only Bailly, lindelof, pogba, fred is present. And Mou is just the most recent coach.

I won't call Moyes cos he didn't get much players he'd have loved.


Changing coach and starting afresh when no be sugar daddy dey sponsor club

HEHEHEHE

Lol... But na true na.
If people dey bring that £1b shii to diss guardiola, illi.mitable no suppose join dem. Cos weeks ago he was praising man city how they spent well which yielded them the success they have now while insulting his club's owners. So why now turn around to diss same coach for requesting for such amount from his owners when you're acknowledging that's the requirement for success?

Isn't that confusion?

What of payet? He hated life in London and even acknowledged he hated the weather and environment. That didn't stop him for grabbing a spot for pfa team of the season before forcing his way back to Marseille.

You guys spent on great potentials. Schneiderlin of Southampton then even had more hype than Ndidi presently. The way you guys wanted Ndidi now was how Schneiderlin was highly demanded.

Depay? Who can forget the hype about depay. Almost everyone thought then he'll so shine. Blind made the hype after the world cup and he was cheered too. Herrera and falcao was greatly welcomed. All these potential good signings added with Van persie and Rooney and this made fans dreaming that Man u will at least compete to win the league in seasons to come. Oh, remember van gaal, the coach who did the great run of Netherland in the world cup and also had a rich CV?
You guys were just unlucky, don't made it sound like you spent poorly then.


Only darmian and martial were not so rated wen they were signed. Esp martial with that huge sign on fee.
If that squad and coach performed for at least two seasons, all these Mary-go-round you'd these past few years, you guys wouldn't have had it

Precisely,if we go back to unearth some post,we will see that man united fans were the ones who actually clamour for every players the clubs signed in this past years but they want to turn around and blame everyone except themselves because they are not doing well enough .

Omo see money wey dis Guys don pullout wey pple still dey mayarn, maybe na till dem give coach blank cheque before some fans go appreciate.

I won't say firing the coaches was wrong if they were not delivering. The problem was hiring the wrong coaches to start with. You hired someone like Mourinho and LvG. See how their career was going before and after Man Utd

LvG sacked Bayern in 2011, he went into semi retirement with the Dutch National team, Man Utd hired him, after Man Utd he hasnt coached anyone again

Mourinho sacked by Madrid and Chelsea then Man Utd signed him. Since Man Utd, he has been fired by Spurs and now hired by Roma

Ole what was his credentials before hiring? I know he was brought to be an interim but overperformed during the interim regime

I won't blame Glazer for this, They are businessmen, Someone recommended the coaches and they paid. Just like someone recommended Pep to Mansoor and he paid

handelex:
You no suppose dey yan this kind okoto

The same progress you're praising Poch for is the same progress you're criticizing Ole for

What's the colour of your hypocrisy?

Red

Jodera:
Man u persuaded di Maria to come, they were not desperate. Madrid told di Maria to go and start looking for club, which means he is no more needed at Madrid again. How then is it wrong for man u to convince him that man u is the club that he'll be really needed. In fact, what other way is it to show that he'll be needed than giving him the no 7 iconic shirt?

Neymar to PSG is different. Barca needed and wanted neymar, PSG used money and Main man tag(which most players love) to snatch him away from barca.

So in my opinion, PSG and man u cases are way different

You didn’t get me.

Madrid may not want DiMaria again but the Man Utd project wasn’t appealing to him. They had to use money- lots of it- to make it appealing to him. So when he met with some difficulty, he downed tools and didn’t even try to make any impact.

I saw someone compare the scenario with Ozjl’s move to Arsenal. Ozil was interested in whatever Arsene discussed with him. That’s why he came and didn’t down tools at the sight of any difficulty.

Now, with Neymar and PSG, do you think Neymar would, on a normal ground, want to play for PSG? The money played too much an important role. That’s why he’s playing rubbish for them in important UCL matches and no one could reprimand him. The cost of landing was so much that it gave him too much power. Cavani dragged a penalty with him and his career at the club ended. It is what it is.

City is smart in this regard. Their main attraction before, was the money. But they’re smart about it. They may pay a lot of money for a player, but they won’t make it too much.

They smartly backed out of the Alexis Sanchez deal because if they agreed to his demand they’d be giving him too much power. United didn’t have that sense at that time. They’re just starting to realize that you don’t just throw money at everything. But I just hope it’s not too late.

If a coach who had a similar style of play as LvG and is hungrier for success was brought it, United won’t be in this mess.

The difference is that, had Pep gotten those players - Sanchez, Fred, Maguire- and they didn’t perform well, he’ll still have the luxury of signing more players. How many keepers did he buy before he stuck with Ederdon? How many CBs and fullbacks does he have? Wingers? Please.

And he has a shrewd person in charge of transfers who knows how to value players. Pep is not smart at identifying talents, he just buys and buys. Probability does the rest. The players with which he achieved most of his successes at City were brought in by past managers. KdB, Aguero, D. Silva, Kompany, etc.

I really want this Ice cold melt and flushed away from the Club before 2021/22 Season begins. If Mbappe seems available, I won't mind to swap the Mofo plus £100m to get him.

Did Man Utd not have the luxury of signing? For defence you have signed Dalot AWB, Bailly, Lindelof Maguire Telles
In midfield, You have signed Matic, Pogba Bruno VdB Mikitaryan Sanchez, Dan James,
Pep bought Bravo before sticking with Ederson and Steffen for reserve for the first team the same time you had Grant Romero, Henderson and DDG

Pep is sure to win the league and Carling this season and has a 50% chance of winning the CL and this is probably his most succesful season at City. Most of the run has been without any of KdB(injured), Aguero, Silva and Kompany

weedtaker:
lies, he was exceptional with the ball at his feet. You are saying after “1 season” like playing with the ball is the same as scoring goals. You can know who’s good with the ball in just a game only, just as you can know who’s slow and who’s fast.

Keep playing yourself. Like smalling can’t move with ball and play pass na abi.

This ball at his feet, na leg over him dey do? Maguire will drive ball from the defense to the attacking third, but he's not good on the ball? What does he have to do again? No be juju be that?

You are too stupid to understand context.

Pep inherited a team that made semifinal & he was only able to make it after 5 seasons with $1 billion spent.

Is that progression or regression?

I want United to spend lots of money because United as a club generate lots of money. I would rather the money made by United is spent on United rather than the pockets of the Glazers or loan repayments.

I don’t expect you to understand though, this discourse is for the high IQ folks. Once it’s time to discuss the daily delivery of NAPEP bikes, I would consult your valued expertise in that field.

You are too daft to understand football finance.

Look at you comparing apples and groundnuts. One is definitely bigger than the other.

What yeye luxury does Man Utd have?

City has more CBs than United has defenders- that is without addition fullbacks like Zinchenko, Cancelo and the rest.

Pep hasn’t won the league and UCL this season and the players who brought his success - 3 league titles, other cups- are players he met at City. Go figure.

In a bid to cry about the 80m, we want to cancel all the attributes Maguire has. Something that's very glaring. That he's not worth 80m shouldn't take away all the attributes he has and what he brings to the team.

This is another distortion of facts. Men are out here pretending not to know the difference between quality and quantity.

Nearly every City defender Pep has bought broke British transfer record for a defender.

This is what Raumdeuter is comparing to signing Dalot, Bailly, Lindelof and Telles.

I have met some very thick people on this forum but this here takes the cake.
