    Free transfers

    Raziel won't get your post, I've had this discussion with numerous times for I think a few years now. He's more aligned with the thinking that the only solution is to spend more, how that's is spent I don't think comes into his thinking. Like you say our actual spending figures of the last 5...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Jose did the best he could with an particularly unsuited squad for him. He obviously saw the talent but he's just not the type of midfielder he uses. Jose prefers physically workers who pass first and work it out to the wings or his playmaker who drops, Ndombele was a progressor either with the...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    I honestly think Ndombele would have done well under Poch for the same reasons. He started off very well, but then Mourinho came in and Ndombele was never the style of player he would have in his midfield. He was such a poor choice of manager for us given the squad we had at the time. Absolutely...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Sure, I do understand the realities and intricacies of making these moves. I will caveat though that in the case of Fernandes, he didn't move to United instead of us. He moved to United because we couldn't close the deal with Sporting, with whom we had a free run at. His move to United came 6...

    Ben Davies

    Ok more concerned about the limited places in the squad and his injury prone history but let's see how it all plays out before criticising.

    Ben Davies

    Very true, but we've also said that for many years and the result on September the 1st wasn't any more appealing. I agree let's wait and see before we make any judgments but I can definetly understand those that don't trust the scorpion thats already stung them multiple times.

    No that was later under Mourinho. Some weird sort of agent appeasement. I think they genuinely thought he had some potential but Jose barely played him once he'd seen him up close.

    Gas. If you think we had the 7 best players in their positions you need to see a optician. 🤣 If he had gotten Wijnaldum we would have never gone for Ndombele. If we had gotten Fernandes (as he wanted) we wouldn't have gone for Lo Celso. Both are cases of not getting the ideal choice and having...

    I hope not. Both teams lack creativity and width.

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    I agree with the thrust of your post although I think Tielemans would have been a good option to add to the squad at the time and he offered something none of the 3 you mentioned had, passing quality from deep. However it's never actually been confirmed that Tielemans was offered, he just...

    No I absolutely disagree, our squad was worse in 2019, quite significantly so. Did you watch the games? Our performance level decreased massively, it was just squad knowhow that kept us in the top 4 but by the next season even that wasn't working anymore. There is a reason Poch got fired...

    Wanyana & Dembele to fudging Winks and trash Sissoko.Toby and Jan to Sanchez and Dier. Fit Rose to Davies. Lloris degrading in quality season after season, with no real attempt to arrest things I tik his performance level literally dropped off the clif. Walker to flipping Tripier and then...

    Assuming we improve the quality of the attack and midfield.

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    On the last game week there were two games with a 3 goal winning margin and 4 games with 2 goals scored by 1 team. If you go back to previous game weeks you'll see teams scoring 3s and 4s. The overall number of goals dropped compared to a couple of years ago but yes there are still teams...

    Cristian Romero

    I'm not so bothered because despite me rating him individually I don't rate the performance and results of the starting pairing and given the time they've had together now is a good time to move in and try something different because it hasn't worked up till now.

    Cristian Romero

    The thing with Joelinton is he's rarely rash he makes strong challenges that sit on the border and yes he is given that benefit of the doubt. Romero makes rash challenges and that's why he gets judged the way he is (often unfairly imo) The problem is how do you measure this? The majority of...

    If, buts and maybes. For you, yes it might just be the last 2 seasons but there were many of us who could recognise the pattern of failing and warned of the degradation of our quality and ability years before Ange ever appeared. Again I'll say to you sacking the manager at any time is not a...

    The Pitch and serious injuries

    I see a lot of sense in this being the cause of the injury issues and maybe this season with fewer games will turn out to be a boon as a consequence of not getting Europe. A season where we are able to rehab our injured players, rotate conservatively and serious reinforcements might just well...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Not to respond for him but there have been lots of reports over the years of rival chairman disliking doing business with us. Even Simon Jordan who calls him a friend has mentioned that he preferred not doing business with Levy because of how difficult he was. Fergie said the same, Analus also...

    Cristian Romero

    Neville actually rates him as a player, he just thinks he's too reckless. That might change if he's at United though. He might well start thinking certain cards or pens awarded or not are soft.
