Apparently not a huge, hard one like mine!

Definitely a scouting MOP … massive ordnance penetrator
 
We can't sign Eze now anyway. Not when we know his preference was Woolwich. I wouldn't even entertain looking at him even if Woolwich decide they want someone else. He's done.

Why is it players keep choosing Man Utd? Have they not seen what has happened to that club over the last few years?
Man U is, and probably will continue to be, a mess. But if you are an agent, you know your commission isn't tied to how many games a team wins.

Man United builds football card collections, not teams. But, they pay well and that understandably matters to players and agents. You just have to look at Bruno Fernandez to see a player wasting big chunks of his career there. Class player but he is a Rolls Royce engine on a shopping cart.
 
JAMIE DONLEY. We build around him. Fuck it. We just go for it
If we want these "generational talent" players that come through with massive hype every few years to start fulfilling their potential they need to be given meaningful first team minutes once they're hitting 20. You can make an argument for loaning a teenager but if you've made the call that a 20-22 year old is not good enough for your side and you can't find a club playing in a comparable level to your league to loan them to then they should be moved on ASAP while their hype factor is still high. Pointless letting them sit in the reserves til they're 23 and releasing them for nothing. The likes of Devine, Phillips, Donley really need decisions made, give these guys game time when we can afford to and see what they do playing first team football, so many young players go up several levels lightning fast when exposed to the elite senior game.
 
We are European Champions lads

With a big squad that underperformed, just signed a coach and staff that are widely renown for improving and getting the best of the players he has with limited resources

Let's not get all up in arms because we didn't sign the latest brand, as I said we have a very big squad and tough decisions need to be made

Looking forward to pre season

Absolutely

I remember reading some of the reports and quotes when he took part in his first few training sessions and it read like a proper ‘George Weah’s cousin’ moment

What the fuck has gone on here


Was it 12m for which we've had our pants pulled down ?

The ‘fucking dick’ has to be fired surely
Alistair Gold was saying how impressed everyone was with Veliz’s finishing after the first few weeks. Let’s not exaggerate . It hasn’t worked but he’s not Ali Dia.
 
Edit

Adding Tom Bischof (20yo CM Hoffenheim) . This kid keeps popping up with good metrics on data sheets. Hadn’t watched loads, so set about watching some bits and bobs, and like what I have seen. He looks like a slightly more mobile, more tenacious Adam Wharton. Gets his foot in, but also has vision with his passing and pops up with goals/assists too.

Edit
I’m taking Mbuemo out and swapping in Semenyo, not just because Mbuemo looks ManU bound, but because I think there’s more potential upside with Semenyo. His underlying XG/XA are very similar to Mbuemo, and unlike Mbuemo, Semenyo is not a pen taker. Semenyo is two footed, better 1v1 and works his nuts off without the ball. Needs to improve his actual output, but that is doable with his skill set.

I’ll stick Simons on the list too as he’s good and we’ve been linked.
