eph12:
What's the shit line up?

GloryIsaac:
'Calma Calma' is the new slogan

Thanks to Afrodoc

Swissh:

Are you satisfied with the players at your club?

Oasis007:


Have you ever seen a Player with no weak Foot? Greenwood is the Answer, perhaps a better Replacement for Lukaku.

Make una no use hype kill my boy. I wanted him to quietly slide into the general EPL DMs but now that Ed has refused to strengthen the forward line Mason will be forced into serious action maybe 6-12 months too early.

Meanwhile you don apply for fan club card?

afrodoc2:


Lol it wasn’t me o. I just said calm down, someone else introduced calma calma.

Ravioli:
My only fear is the middle. We can't trust Matic, cos he is slow af. My late grand dad can cover grounds than that white Mikel. Our only hope is Pogba and McSauce. Pereira is good but he looses position often and that ain't good for an EPL midfielder. Fred, mtcheeeew.. I pray he delivers or else we are doomed. I rather play Tuanzebe at the DM than Matic

Ravioli:
Una can complain. Other clubs entrust 17-18 years to lead their lines and teams and they succeed. But when it comes to UTD you guys scream to the highest level. TBF, I prefer Greenwood starting as our striker than Trashford. But at the end of the day, there is this possibility that Martial, Rashford will deliver and make us eat our words. We shouldn't underrate our own all the time. Benfica gave Felix the opportunity he became hot cake, De Jong, De Ligt, Mbappe et al. They all delivered and big clubs came for them. I know Greenwood will do good for us. Lets allow the manager do what he wants until he disappoints, then we can roast all we can. It's a rebuilding process and he tends to favour players who are willing to play for the badge.

The list below is the reason for the new-found obsession.



Coupled with those who now see the club as a money-making avenue, instead of a football club.

afrodoc2:


I am not sure you would find a bigger Greenwood fan here than me, but one has to be cautious not to place too much pressure on the guy.

When one thinks of the injuries and off the field issues that derailed Whiteside, Ravel, Will Keane, Adnan, James Wilson e.t.c then it is understandable to temper expectations.

The best thing that could happen to Greenwood is for Rashford and Martial to have explosive seasons so that he is part of a group rather than the go to guy for all our attacks. I believe this is what destroyed whatever potential Adnan had.

Nope responsibilities do not destroy a player rather it makes him better.... I believe those players you mentioned were simply NOT GOOD ENOUGH....Mbappe was the Go to guy a Monaco and he thrived because he was good enough

3coins:

Sudden? Did you watch Man Utd under Sir Alex?

afrodoc2:


Every player is different. The pressure at Monaco is not the same as the pressure at Manchester United.
And in case you didn’t know Mbappe is not special he is EXTRA SPECIAL. None of these guys has his ability.
Maybe some of those guys were not good enough like you said but United has a recurring history of exciting players with potential fizzling out. They couldn’t all have been bad.

Lastly, injury respects no one. Not even Messi’s career would have been the same with catastrophic injury

eph12:

Unless you are trying to say SAF insisted on buying only English players in a transfer window, maybe I didn't watch United under Sir Alex then.

eph12:

Honestly I don't understand your angle here

3coins:

No.... But I can categorically state that the core of SAF teams was made up of English players

GloryIsaac:


How many English players are in that list?

Only City has spent more than United since 2013 in the EPL - around 100m or so -, but see the vast difference in both clubs.

And the fact that a lot of players now see the club as maga...... Hence, the decision to buy mainly young English players and players who are ready to play for the badge, not their account balance.

BARAJ92:
We have try a lot of foreign stars, yet no improvement in the team, the likes of Di maria, depay et al even Pogba did not improve the team
