You've perfectly explained why I utterly despise Man United in every conceivable way. This guy you're talking about isn't rare. The entire fanbase and media mouthpieces are all glory hunting gobby plastics.
I would fully enjoy it if they went bankrupt and left hundreds of thousands of pretend football fans with absolutely nothing to say.

Completely agree.

I also feel Gary Neville abuses his "power" as a voice in the media. He claims to be this bastion of the socialist utopia, but he's not he's a United fan! he doesn't want "what's best for football", he wants United back at the top "where they belong" year after year after year

After 20 fucking years of those wankers dominating and plucking off the best players from the teams below them to stay at the top and weaken any rival that gets near them. I fucking hate them and Neville is not an objective football observer, he's another United mouthpiece.

The interview with Kane was fucking disgraceful. Fuck Man United, Fuck Rio Ferdinand, Paul Scholes, Gary Neville, Roy Keane.

Also did people see Ferguson actually went to court last week to speak to Giggs' good character! That is fucking disgraceful? I was never a big fan of his but that behavior is disgusting.

Anyway sorry, I'm derailing here. Just getting shit off my chest. I've never forgive them taking Teddy.

Neville is worse than that though. He was happy to throw United under the bus over the super league. Not because of morals etc, but because Sky would lose a fortune and he did what his bosses told him to do. All out objection in the most public way possible.

I never heard Neville bitch and moan when he was picking up a cheque every week from the Glazers?

Won 3 in 16 when "managing" Valencia.

He and his mates have run up a four million quid debt at Salford.

The mans a cunt.

Neither are either Pape Sarr or Djed spence, its called investment in future .

You could easily argue Tanguy is not PL quality physically or mentally ...... your point is moot

Spence has a great season in the Championship under his belt. That makes him about 10x more accustomed to the English game than Gil is.

I agree Sarr is not ready either he needs another loan. That said, both of those are more physically suited to the Premier League.

Gil is a winger with no end product that doesn't suit Conte's system at all (since we don't play wingers). On top of that he has the body of a 14 year old.

Obviously Tanguy is not PL level in physical terms based on what we have seen but we signed him on the back of an amazing Ligue 1 campaign, beating many top teams to his signing. Despite his lack of fitness he had good spells with us and proved he can be a difference maker in the final third.

Gil has neither done that here nor in his loan at Valencia. There were some nice words about his first few games but pretty sure no goals and assists.

Ndombele was a scouting failure as was Gil, this adds to my point it doesn't make it moot.

25m for a player that has contributed nothing in a year could have been far better spent on a forward that could actually contribute something.

I think Gil also isn’t in the right team, his movement and style would be fine for City, Woolwich or Brighton. Not sure he has a position for us, his skillset doesn’t match.

Does Ferguson get a choice?.genuinely dunno.
Also, did he talk about just his character at training and games rather than personal life? Again, dunno. Not sure he can comment on Giggs as a husband/boyfriend etc so wonder what the value is in having him testify?
