BlueAngel444: I really don't think Mourinho will call out for signings in a press conference if Ed and the board really got him what he wanted. I may not know what happened behind the scene but it's possible some of the so called players he got weren't even his actual targets.. We might have paid the fees for those type of players for second rate players because our transfer proficiency since David Gill had been shambolic. Ever manager has a list prepared for the season and dude must have not got his first choice targets and e still dey pain am till now. |

Neymar1095: It's a lie. Lingard, Mkhitaryan and Rashford are equivalent to that PSG front 3. It's mourinho who made them regressed and ask them to keep missing avalanche of chances in games. |

joeace2020:Your combined 11 and bench of City and United? Mou has a 3 year contract and 6 transfer windows, he used more than 300m already thus if we're going by what Paddy quoted Mou won't be spending again but we both know it's not true, Mou will likely spend in January and come next summer, we'll set out for another heavy outlay on players...The club is really trying in terms of funding for player purchases and overhead cost. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Neymar1095(m): 12:02pm On Dec 28, 2017 |
Lingard, Mkhitaryan and Rashford lol. Am not even sure any of them would start for any team in England top6. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Neymar1095(m): 12:04pm On Dec 28, 2017 |
Out of the top 6 man u has the weakest attack. |

"Manchester City buy full-backs for the price of strikers," Mourinho said. When it was pointed out that United have spent heavily during his Old Trafford tenure, Mourinho continued: "OK, [but] it is not enough." Hehehe... |

CapitalCee:You're just being hard on yourself ... I know what you typed up there reek of sarcasm... Hey man that being said the kind of player that mourinho have at his disposal is quite enough to go head to head with man city squad.... All you've been doing is just to shut anybody out if they are pointing out mourinho shortcomings. You're good at that but to profer a solution you wont ... Bro just accept mourinho is coming short of expectation mettle on him... And besides in football the coach is the one to take large chunk of the heat....that is reason why the board will always give coach the stick not the players... r 2 Likes |

dmcdad:Nothing has change from how we play. We lost a few guys to injuries and suspension but we've not changed. Jose will always play a more conservative style when we approach teams he thinks can play us out of the park that will never change. It is true that we sometimes don't entertain but we've entertained more than we frustrate our fans and hate watchers. 1 Like |

Neymar1095:Lukaku, Martial, Mkhitaryan, Mata, Ibra (Though he's not fit 100%), Rashford, Lingard... Kane, Lamela, Son, Llorente, Alli, Erikson Firmino, Coutinho, Mane, Salah (Prior to this season, he wasn't really highly rated by most folks here), Solanke, Inngs, Sturidge Giroud, Lacazette, Sanchez, Ozil, Iwobi, Walcot. Aguero, Jesus, Sane, Sterling, B. Silva Morata, Hazard, Pedro, Willian, Batsuayi... Have I missed any? Looking at the above, do we really have the worst attack? Put into consideration the quality of the players listed and not their present form cos form is subject to many factors... |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by CapitalCee(m): 12:17pm On Dec 28, 2017 |
Galileogalileo: Then sack him already. His squad is world class and should challenge. Contes team won the league last season, he spent 202m on it, while another spent 150m on 6th placed team. But the later is the Judas that should be hanged. |

nitrogen:Mou is showing a lack of maturity to take responsibility or even if it's some else's fault, he should the blame and be the boss. |

patrickmuf: But not enough. It' not we are not winning small small things by the side. There's hope we will soon get to the top. Just a few more players, a lil hope the manager will adapt his philosophy with better attacking players. It will happen just time. I don't like all this Chelshit sack and employ fans want to turn us to. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by CapitalCee(m): 12:22pm On Dec 28, 2017 |
Neymar1095: Joking ke. Lukaku, Rashford, Lingard, Mkhi and Mata are world class and are better than Mbappe, Neymar and cavani. and if Pep coach them, they will win UCL. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by BlueAngel444: 12:31pm On Dec 28, 2017 |
joeace2020:Pogba and Lukaku had worldwide recognition before they were bought. Man U paid what Madrid and Chelsea were reluctant to pay for Pogba and Lukaku - 90m. You don't do that for a second choice. Baily is a top signing, Mkhi was a top signing. Victor also a back up CB incase of injuries to Baily, Jones or Stones. Matic a top DM in EPL with 2 EPL medals. Most of them were signed even before the season began. |

nitrogen: Macheter ins in 2016: Claudio Bravo (Barcelona), Ilkay Gundogan (Borussia Dortmund), Gabriel Jesus (Palmeiras), Marlos Moreno (Atletico Nacional), Nolito (Celta Vigo), Leroy Sane (Schalke), John Stones (Everton), Oleksandr Zinchenko (FC Ufa) United got four players. Machester ins in 2017 July 24: Benjamin Mendy from AS Monaco. July 23 update: Danilo £27m, five-year deal. July 15 update: Kyle Walker £45m. five-year contract. Douglas Luiz, from Brazilian club Vasco da Gama, £10m fee, loaned out to City’s sister club Girona. Bernardo Silva, aged 22, reported £43.6m, five-year deal. June 8 update: Ederson Moraes joining them in a £34.7m deal from Benfica. This is a British record transfer fee for a goalkeeper, with City eclipsing the £18.9m Manchester United paid Atletico Madrid in June 2011, to bring David de Gea to Old Trafford. And united got 3. 14 players over 2 years is a starting eleven complete compared to 7 over two years. United needed quality and quality isn't cheap hence our huge outlay on players. If the club has realised this then they should be willing and ready to invest even more before we are left further behind. I don't give a fvck if we are a billion dollar team. We should go out there and scare opponents with good football played by world class players. City has shown they will spend if the manager identifies weakness in the team or mistakes in his transfers. They want to get more defenders, go for players like Sanchez. We should be responding in kind with quality players not some of the average malcom and soler we are linked to. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by CapitalCee(m): 12:44pm On Dec 28, 2017 |
joeace2020: I have been asking for Sanchez since the summer, why can't we just sign that guy, let city not buy him oo. Why not buy Dybala and Perisic also snap up Ozil. Then go for a world class defender offload smalling, Damian and Blind. Use their money to buy sessegnon. Also get rid of Herrera to teams like Eibar or Levente. Lingard is developing into a good squad player and martial is turning into a world class. I see Ranaldo and Rooney combo in those two. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by dmcdad: 12:45pm On Dec 28, 2017 |
SIRcumalot:I disagree. The way you approach games these days ain't the same with how you did earlier on in the season when you were scoring for fun. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by joeace2020(m): 12:46pm On Dec 28, 2017 |
BlueAngel444: What were you Chelsea fans calling Matic before he left? Baily top signing? Played his first full season with Villarreal before we got him and is now looking like an injury prone player -Jury is still out. !! Lukaku? worldwide ke...He was doing well in an average team and that was that. Is it not here people call him jambody, flat-track bully and all? Miki was doing well at dortmund and has now regressed for whatever reasons we DON'T KNOW! Pogba is the only name that had gone on to do something that reverberated across Europe and worth mentioning among an elite group of stars. Even he is still as inconsistent as any kid out there. Mourinho bought well compared to the other pretenders from previous two managers but we still need quality 'he was fantastic at his previous club' kind of players not 'he tried at that club' type of players We now have enough. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 12:48pm On Dec 28, 2017 |
joeace2020: No mind them. I don't have their time. They want to turn Manchester United to Liverpool where coaches are changed every two years and they keep starting from scratch. I am done with them. |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by joeace2020(m): 12:52pm On Dec 28, 2017 |
CapitalCee: Will united pay what this clubs will ask if we go for them because post-neymar they will charge us hell? Will the fans want us to get them without saying Mourinho will convert them to defenders? Many questions and obvious answers. Football today is money, money, money now. Anybody still preaching academy youth development is fooling himself. We must spend, spend, spend and with Mourinho we are already approaching 3 years of some stability and upward progress but now we want him sacked so another manager can come and start all over again and when we fail..he'll say he's in massive rebuilding job, he needs more time. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by nitrogen(m): 1:06pm On Dec 28, 2017 |
joeace2020: Baba, you are saying that Pep got 2x the number of players Mourinho got, right? Perfect! Okay, let me agree with you that City has more quality players than we have. Good! But then, nobody told Mourinho to buy players at exorbitant prices. Pep was busy snapping up players at 30m, 40m and 50m, but Mourinho bought two players at 100m each. Pep was snapping up Gabriel Jesus, Gundogan and co, Mourinho went for Lukaku. Then Mourinho is confused, as Pep was smart enough to go for quantity in order to enhance the quality of the team, while Mourinho was buying quality players at crazy fees. Seems Pep is smarter. I just agreed with you that man city has quality players in order to explain my point. The fact is this, with a smart manager, the players at Man Utd can win the league. 3 Likes |

CapitalCee:Bro have said it before you're quick to shut anybody that shows mourinho failings this season.... You made metion of chelsea, can you compare man u with chelsea in term tradition, global appeal,and their brand... Comparing the brand man u to chelsea is just too myopic... Man u have largest fans base in world or so, so their fans will bevery demanding... So before any coach take charge of the team he should already what is involved... Brow conte won the title last season or so if i could s remember or so we all praise him for what he did.... And this season the team have been underperforming and he has been taking the blame gracefully but what did your MCM do... He has been giving your fans base same excuses which some are tired of ... Bro am not saying the player mourinho had is world class but should go head to head with man city .... Bro the gap is damn too much for any united fsan to take...that is the reason you are seeing n lotta of fans vituperation everywhere 2 Likes |

If the team wins 4-0 again......All these arguments would die down....no be we manu fans again.....Mou should just axe this squad players under vangaal and moyes are still here....They are bringing in that mindset of moyes and vangaal plan into mou game and it's not helping at all |

joeace2020:Out of those 14, only about 9 are with the seniors team and about 5 are guaranteed to start when fully fit. We didn't bother ourselves with buying for the future as all our signings are expected to start when fully fit bar Lindelof. Pogba Bailly Matic Lukaku and Mkhi were all bought by Jose. They were well experienced and above average before we bought them. They are enough quality to improve the team that has talents like Rash Martial, world class keeper in De Gea, and quality defenders. Yes Jones and Valencia is as good as what other club have. Luke is back and should be starting. He has been back for a long time but we say he is experiencing tough love OK. Tell me how 6-7 quality players are not good enough for a team to compete while playing quality football? 3 Likes |
