patrickmuf: Now this is one is a lie. Can you in all honesty compare Martial and Mbappe's breakthrough season? Can you? This is a player that was linked to all the top clubs in the world almost every week for months and now you want to compare with Martial who everyone was questioning the transfer and the sum involved for a relatively unknown player. Baba abeg talk true this one nor follow abeg. |

joeace2020:Like i said sometime ago, why not only buy only supremely talented players and groom battle ready home grown talents henceforth, average players like Blind, Herrera and Damian are killing us. Then too old players like Ibrahimovic and Carrick should retire na, for the love of God. |

joeace2020:Whose fault that we invested in average players? The coaches ask for players and the club set about purchasing them...Mourinho in his time here has gotten just about all the players he asked for bar Perisic according to available information so what exactly is the fuss about lack of investment? He got Pogba, Mkhitaryan, Bailly, Lukaku, Lindelof, Matic, Ibra (On a free but very high wages)...Pray tell, how many coaches are opportuned to get all of such quality in barely 3 windows? That's more than 300m worth of talent and you want us to sit back and go with his narrative that it's because we're not spending enough? Or just so we're not tagged naive or Mou haters? Hell no, we have spent hugely and that's not taking into context the huge outlay on transfer during the Van Gaal and Moyes Era... And to correct an impression, I think all top coaches spend heavily thus I'm not one of those who refer to Mou as a cheque book manager but in this instance after spending over 300m on players, your least excuse should be investment related... The only thing City has over us is a better bench (And you can quite comfortably argue for or against this) and a coach who is more expressive in his approach. 3 Likes |

CapitalCee: Now my question to you like i pose to every other fan out there is.. Who is the replacement? Who is the manager with the pedigree, winning mentality and prestige to become our manager when we sack Mourinho? This is not in defense of Mourinho but in finding out what truly the Mourinho out brigade want for the team. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by odizeey(m): 10:31am On Dec 28, 2017 |
Ok we hear. All our players are useless, waste of money, let dem overhaul the team. Mourinho stay and rebuild for how long you want. |

CapitalCee: Nobody is even going to sack Jose....all this wailing and gnashing of teeth will end on nairalands pages! The board is looking at the numbers and the log and so far since fergies final season this season is shaping up to be the kind of season we are used to at Manchester united! Blazing through the group stage of the UCL and remaining either top of the log or around the top of the league...With our injuries to key players and the poor form of some other players and some tactical errors by the coach so far why won't we go through a blip? Every team will go through a blip this season including city! Even madrid that is 4th and almost 17 points behind barca while playing some tepid soccer is still publicly backing zidane.... maybe after january if he is backed in the market and they keep slipping he may be axed but in december? Talk about knee jerk reactions to a bad period of form......Lmao! 1 Like 1 Share |

Abeg let Mourinho see out his contract and leave. He's poor at building teams and his brand of football doesn't suit Utd. His "philosophy" works very well against teams with blunt attacking forces who want to play. Sadly, United is always expected to win and most average teams will sit back in numbers and attack when they have the chance. For Mourinho defense comes first. The problem is this is the same philosophy of average teams that come to OT. So how do we expect goals when both teams are doing their best to defend after scoring one 'lucky' goal? When we played horribly against So'ton the other day and I was raking I was labelled a fake fan. "It's the 3 points that matter", they said. "We are 2nd and only 2 points behind City." Thing is you won't win many games if you continue playing that way. Look at where we are now. Can the real fans remind me how close we are to the top and how far Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham are behind us? |

joeace2020:Please tell me what is a lie? That Martial wasn't a first team player? Someone opined (he wasn't sure) Martial only played the playoffs and I only informed him that Martial was part of the team that reached the Quarter finals losing to Juventus, also pointing out that he was highly rated and that was why we accepted the inclusion of all those Balon d'or clauses in his contract...Please disprove the points highlighted and stop being overly aggressive... |

elampiro:What the fvck are you even saying? List the players that were here during Alex Ferguson's last season and are still here now. Has almost the entire squad not been changed? Who brought in these new players? Is it not the same three useless coaches? 6 of our current first teamers were brought in by Mourinho so what the fvck is the excuse? You say what have they achieved? what is the use of a manager if they are supposed to achieve by themselves? Haven't you heard that if the head is useless then the entire body will be useless? Brother hear yourself think!! |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by joeace2020(m): 10:43am On Dec 28, 2017 |
patrickmuf: Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist. Its one thing to spend and another to spend on your set targets. I may not have seen Mourinho's list but i can tell you listening to him say things like "There's a different price for big clubs, big clubs based on their history and there's a different price for other clubs" it was obvious the Man is growing frustrated with the fact he probably didn't get the actual players he set out for in the market. If United had gone for Mendy or Walker or Jesus, Sane, i am sure they would have cost us nothing less than 50 mil each for defenders and more than 80 for attackers. City can pay those or even less because they don't have our history but we have to realize this is the realities of the market so we pay what we have to pay for the best players the manager wants. We Penny pinch and end up paying the amount we could have bought those guys for actual average players. Rival fans can call us any name they want but if we were top of the league with City's point gap todayand have spent a true fortune on quality players to get there then i honestly don't care. But trying to be frugal because of Moyes and LVG and keeping to 3-4 players per window with a budget not above £150 per window, we can only get what we have now. Few mid-quality players bought by Mourinho and not enough to replace or upgrade if they don't deliver |

CapitalCee:But what we have been pointing out is exactly in that article or I no read am well ni? We win the ball too deep and we're even slow allowing the opponents to regroup. We should be trying to win the ball back in the opposition half so our attack can be swift like what happened against Arsenal. The present team is capable of doing this abeg, na just effect of training. |

joeace2020: I did not call for the sack of mourinho, people here won't let us to rest after every draw or loss or a one goal difference win or after a win in which Chelsea, Liverpool or even city scored more goals against some opponents than us. The last time Liverpool beat Brighton 4-1 somebody here said "is this not the same Brighton that we beat only 1-0"? So to satisfy the United "pep fan boys" who see mourinho as a lucifer and destroyer of talents, who dared to ask Mkhi to track back and who has destroyed united by lifting them from Europa league also-rans to winners and then to UCL contenders in 18 months, the board need to sack mourinho and bring a sexy manager who will turn Damian, Blind, Herrera and co to Messi, the noise these few days has been so loud. My suggestion is, is it not better we stopped buying quality players and bring a manager who by playing tiki taka and producing entertaining draws will turn Mata to a spanish national team captain and Herrera to be named for world cup or for Darmian and blind to qualify their countries to would cup. My brother Sacking Mourinho is an urgent thing that needs to happen, we fans are tired if his pack the bus football versus Burnley, and being 14 points behind city that has garnered 58 out of 60 points and for losing to city who have not beaten us at old Trafford since 1913. #MourinhoOut. If you argue this point Mourinho is your god. |

CapitalCee: This i guess was the idea in the first season. With Ibrahimovic, miki, bailly we achieved some stability. Now second season we were to add real talented players and keep the blinds, Herrera as squad options which we seem to have done but not done properly. We needed to sell out at least 4 players from our current squad that looks bloated on paper and get up to 5 players in.. at least 3 of which are real world class talent. We are united, we should act and appear on the pitch as it. I know Mourinho has not done enough on his part but the board also hasn't done enough too. He wouldn't use the press to communicate to the board if something wasn't wrong in the background. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Leyqute(m): 10:53am On Dec 28, 2017 |
PietroRico: There's no off-key "yarning" as you termed it, here. Mourinho can change his mind any fvcking moment. The guy can develop beefs with any of his players at any time. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by joeace2020(m): 10:53am On Dec 28, 2017 |
CapitalCee: You still didn't answer me. I hate Mourinho's football philosophy with a passion. I prefer to force a reaction than wait for one. But my question is considering where we were and were we are now in European football, who is the prime replacement candidate for sacking Mourinho? I need names. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by CapitalCee(m): 10:53am On Dec 28, 2017 |
funlord: Baba leave that thing. Mourinho is a useless fuc"k up manager, he packed the bus in our match with fuc*k...ing burnley. Our current crop of players are world class, give pep this our players and he will walk the league and win UCL. Mourinho is a coward. #MourinhoOut |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by patrickmuf(m): 10:55am On Dec 28, 2017 |
joeace2020:Mou only complained about not getting Perisic and for me, that's not enough for us not to be close to City...Darmian, Blind, Herrera and all the other average players are still here because the manager wants them...When Pep released Sagna, Clichy, Kolarov and Zabaleta, he hadn't gotten their replacements (A big mistake) thus it affected the price clubs quoted for players they were after. Mou should work with Ed to release or sanction their sales if he thinks they aren't good enough... |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by patrickmuf(m): 11:01am On Dec 28, 2017 |
odizeey:Lol then he failed cos he was definitely highly rated...And talking about Mbappe, for all his brilliance, the current state of the market was a major determinant in the price PSG ended up paying, a price many big teams frowned at... A pointer? Lemar was priced at about 90m when he isn't as good as Martial. |
