    Or you just made a mistake letting him go. Not the first or last time United have messed up when it comes to recruitment/retention.

    Would take him at Liverpool in a heartbeat. Of course he's not good enough for United though.

    Because as you said, it's a squad that's well suited to the new manager... If it's not then how many transfer windows are you giving him to rebuild with players that can implement his style of play? It's remarkable that two weeks ago these players weren't good enough and the squad was the worst...

    Appreciate the thoughtful response. Who do you think will play the progressive passing role in the double pivot with Ugarte?

    Napoli are a better side than United and he walks into their starting XI. Based on this logic most of your current squad should be sold. That is the point I was making. I'm also struggling to see how Hojlund being able to play up top and Ugarte being a ball winning midfielder make them...

    And I thought I had some bad takes :eek:

    Now do the same with the current squad :laugh: McTominay, Elanga and Sancho are better than any of the options you currently have in their respective positions.

    Most of the same squad that downed tools for ETH... I would take the United squad that ended the '22 season (that ETH inherited) over this one. McTominay, Sancho, Varane, Sabitzer, Fred, Greenwood, Ronaldo, Bailly, De Gea, AWB, Elanga etc. You reckon he'd be taking the United job if he had any...

    About 10min mark. It hasn't gone down well.

    For the sponsors and clubs, sure. But we also know it means a lot to players, because individual awards are spoken about in terms of their legacies. If you need proof just look at the recent interview with Trent. He's about to leave his boyhood club of 20+ years because he wants a chance to win...

    Except the players, clubs and sponsors who actually do care.

    Just this one or every individual award in team sports? (golden boots, MoTM's, etc)

    Messi couldn't defend like VVD. :laugh:

    **Official** English Football Season 2024/25

    It happens in every sport, just got to deal with it. I heard a good suggestion yesterday, they should give 3x Balon D'Or for each position - defence, midfield, attack. GK already has their own. In no other football conversation would we compare Vini Jr with Rodri, so why do it for this award...

    Its telling how much weighting they put on international tournaments. Foden was POTY in the prem and finished up 11th. Yamal did nothing really in La Liga or UCL and finished 8th. Palmer 25th and Saka 21st is pretty funny too, especially considering Olmo was 13th. System is broken but still...

    Disagree. He missed El Clasico, Suarez scored a hat-trick which won Barca the first game. Suarez single-handedly carried them to the Copa del Rey final, which they lost. He didn't do much of note v Inter, but was very good v United. They didn't get further than the SFs of the UCL after what...

    I'm glad the La Liga/Messi stranglehold has been broken. I thought it should have happened with Van Dijk in 2019 and again with Haaland in 2023. No complaints from me that Rodri won it, absolutely deserved and about time a defensive player won it. We're about to see just how important he is to...

    I'm not sure City would be on the table for Amorim. He's quite clearly keen to get out of Portugal and has been for a little while. He spoke to West Ham last summer.

    Man, I'm so disappointed with that performance. We simply didn't show up and I think that was our worst game of the season. Humbling result cause I expected so much more with how we've been playing. Arsenal were really good to be fair, Partey totally locked down our left side and we couldn't...
