When have you had to hold your breath when Roman has got involved nine? 😉
I think we must have spoken to haalands agent and got the thumbs up that he would come otherwise we wouldnt be pursuing this now so that’s very promising
I think we could afford the fee of 150m without selling but it’s the wage bill we need to clear and that’s what will hold this up
Selling will be very difficult which is why I hope dortmund would be interested in one or two of our players, that could not only reduce the net transfer fee of haaland but clear some wages too. They lose sancho to united and haaland to us, wouldnt surprise me if they were to end up with both tammy and Hudson odoi in this deal.
I would do that but I would want us to have some sort of future buy back clause or first option on Hudson odoi if we let him go.

Yeah the way he adapted early on to turn their form around and take them on that amazing winning run was very impressive and he is worthy winner
Moyes deserves a hell of a lot of credit too and if he had won it I wouldn’t have argued with that either

Yeah luck by definition is rare to occur, 5 league titles in last 7 seasons as manager with 3 different clubs, now that is lucky 🙂
Like all managers of top teams his only fortune is in the quality of player he gets to work with. At inter however he fought relentlessly to assemble a title winning team from scratch and it took him 3 transfer windows to complete it and he won title second year.
Some can ridicule signings such as young and moses, but he didn’t have anywhere near the budget of a utd or chelsea and the fruits of his recruitment was a championship team. Doesn’t matter that young and moses etc are not long term fixes, were never meant to be and didn’t cost as such. His remit was build a team to win the league, conte delivered and luck had nothing to do with it.

Mikus, you are spot on, managers are vital to getting the best out of the players in the team but the success of a club on the field is mainly determined by the quality of player and hence recruitment needs to be priority.
Chelsea are proof of that, Jose won title with squad then under delivered and was sacked. Conte came in and got the best out of them again and low and behold another title. The manager was vital each time on getting best out of the players but they were only ultimately able to win because of the quality of player provided by the club in first place, RECRUITMENT.
Lamps thought chelsea were light years from competing for CL only a few months ago, the board thought otherwise based on their recruitment, they made the change and were proven right. Who got the winning goal? Didn’t uncle Harry claim same player was useless and not good enough for lamps and Chelsea?

Ed, if allegri and benitez were happy to come to chelsea you may have a point, if lamps hadn’t achieved what we wanted in first season, you may have a point.
Even if we could have appointed better than lamps at that time, what point are you trying to make? That because chelsea make a mistake now and again utd are excused making massive mistakes season upon season?

No mate because at the time with transfer ban lamps was the best candidate and did exactly what we needed from him in the first season. He didn’t progress second season and the moment the club had a better option they had no hesitation making the correct decision. Again, that’s the big difference between utd and Chelsea right now, Chelsea make the big decisions when they need to.

It is a simple as who is better btw, its always been that simple, whether we talking players, managers, car mechanics or chefs.
Working out the best option is the hard part but there are levels mate, and utd need the best they can possibly get.

Also I would never advocate starting a youth player over an experienced better player. Never ever ever.

Ed our club made the correct decision appointing lamps given the circumstances they also made the correct decision sacking him when we did given the circumstances.
That’s the difference mate, Chelsea make decisions, utd are sleepwalking.

Ed, that’s what loans do, you send them out, see if they could thrive at a certain level then test them at a higher level. You don’t experiment at expense of first team results because the whole club depends on good first team results.
Mount and James proved themselves worthy of a squad place on Loan, they were given a squad number and took their chance. They are there because they are good enough

Ed, of all those players do any in your opinion have a higher ceiling than greenwood? Garner and chong, eh?
Conte would play greenwood in front 2. Maybe not start but defo from bench first season.I think this because conte values ability above background and age. He would recognise greenwood’s ability as a finisher and wouldnt have him hugging the bloody touchline he would make him a proper centre forward like he did with martinez and Lukaku at inter.
Conte wouldnt give a shit about garner and bloody chong and why would he? he is an elite winning football manager and these are average bloody rookies! Conte don’t win by ignoring ability.
The class of 92 has really messed utd fans perception I think mate. It was so rare and utd had so much quality around the young players at the time. And let’s not forget that they were exceptionally good, its not like the current the youth at utd will be just as good if given the time, fergie only gave them the time because they were so god damn talented in first place.
Ole better for utd than conte, just can’t believe it mate its like I am talking to a scientologist or something 🙂

Ed, can you name me the youth prospects that ole is developing and why utd being successful depends on ole bringing them through?
I don’t want youth players playing for sake of it. Of all the youth players coming through at Chelsea over last few seasons, only James and mount truly deserve to start each week now and I am delighted with that as all Chelsea fans are, but we are delighted because they are top quality more than that they are home grown.

Ed I’m just not getting it. If ole not the right man 3yrs is plenty enough at a club like utd.
Turn your nose up at conte if you want mate but imo with conte in charge you actually have a chance of winning the title, with ole you don’t. Suppose that’s not the aim for utd anymore any way.
Conte aside do you really believe that for 3 years it has been impossible to improve on ole? Even bridesmaid poch would be a massive step up and he would meet your main needs, good football, develop youth, win nothing.

Exactly Nine
Ed, Ole is a legend and he has done OK for you but how can you truly believe that for 3 years Manchester United have done the right thing by keeping him on because “there no one better available right now”! How are so many pundits and fans truly believing that it jus blows my mind.
Conte has 5 league titles in last 7 seasons as manager at 3 different clubs, but sure no one better for utd than ole right now!
Ed, if utd sit on their hands this summer and keep ole utd finish outside top 4 next season I am convinced.

Mikus, I think everything levy does is a bloody marketing ploy mate. That’s all he knows he sure doesn’t understand football. You don’t sack Jose a few days before a final if you understand or care about football mate

Nuno? Roberto martinez?
Read on sky sports that conte not convinced spurs can compete for trophies but that spurs have told him there is no pressure for trophies we are spurs! Just never going to happen was it!
There is a free agent super coach out there lads and 3 of our top 6 sides would be better if they brought him in and let him do his thing, yet we have ole and arteta sitting comfortably in their hot seats and spurs don’t even have a manager!
