Far too many trolls and idiots nowadays, just non stop crying and thinking everything is shit and no critical thinking whatsoever

Haven’t been active here in a long time and I remember why now, nothing but 14 year olds who literally don’t have a clue about anything and cry about every single thing. This new ownership is fucking brilliant. Glazers literally have no say in anything to do with football, is that not the best news ever. We’re bringing some brilliant people in like Blanc, Sir Brailsford, Dan Ashworth and Paul Mitchell but people are crying because they didn’t get their 4 billion from Qatar to appoint Rio Ferdinand as director of football and go and buy Ronaldo and Messi.

Come to usmnt and play centerback

I agree actually, very similar to Odegaard. Also has the defensive work rate to play in midfield too. Doesn’t have the explosiveness either to be a top class winger.

I don’t think we can start saying what he is and how he’s wasted regarding certain positions yet. Think there’s a lot of growth a young player like him gets from playing wider positions before they’re tasked with the being the central figure of an attack - the game moves completely differently there and it’s better to build him up to that. I think in time we’ll see him as a more of an offensive midfield/false 9 type of player. But think the bloke just needs to play some consistent football and carry this momentum and growth to the end of the season. As long as Sunderland continue to play well and he’s a part of that, that’s the most important thing we can ask for.

Signings under 21 can be written off as youth development under the new 2022 FFP rules, therefore Enzo & Badiashile (if they happen), W.Fofana, D.Fofana, Santos, Chukwuemeka etc aren't added to our expenditure. Essentially, the only signings FFP will be looking at are Sterling, Auba, Koulibaly, Cucurella & Nkunku. We'll also have huge investment from our next sponsor, which Clearlake are currently sourcing. Meaning the spending can continue & we'll be within FFP regulations still.

Some Chelsea fans like myself are just as confused. We expected a more reserved but efficient method of approaching transfer windows going forward, but it looks even more excessive than under Roman's helm. I guess because of the takeover, they are taking advantage of the leeway given with FFP rules until they cannot manage to spend this freely again. We just observing for now but one thing for sure, we need to back up all these investments with alot of silverware and consistent Top 4 in the future..and I mean near future too.

I want to see him carrying the ball and getting forward passes between the lines more though and more switches of play. Hes been tidy but I want to see more. Unfortunately, VDB isn't showing for the ball enough and when he receives it he's playing the back pass. Its been brilliant with Martial dropping in to do VDBs job instead because the play ends up progressing. Hopefully someone more dynamic at 10 is put on and Elanga needs to up his level.

Big up Mainoo, bright future Can anyone who’s watching the game tell me how Hansen-Aaroen is playing

Mainoo is absolute class. Need to start integrating him into the first team over the next year

Jurado is solid

Donny is on ice so thin if he farts, he's going under.

Bias or not, I believe Luke Shaw’s contract has to be extended. Not many full-backs are this composed and this good technically. Hasn’t shown any signs of declining physically either - no longer injury prone and in possibly his best shape since returning from that freak injury. Of course, if he wants ridiculous money then it is probably best we cut ties but people refuse to open their eyes on him. They’ve made up their minds a long time ago and refuse to believe that the guy is a top player. He has played 50% of our games and the guy is in the top 4 of our best progressors. He’s ridiculous on the ball and has looked much better defensively this season. He has also remained professional and always taken responsibility. He is one of those senior players that is worth keeping around for now. People will say he’s had more poor seasons than good ones but when you apply context then suddenly the image looks much different, but that is another story.

£17m for Ndicka is a steal. I hope we sign him up. Would be a quality addition to our defense.

Eddie Howe has been doing a brilliant job at newcastle this season. They are on an unbelievable run. To see how they started the season, and to see how they are now is just two worlds apart. People can talk about "Oh, they spent 100 million", but seriously look at their team: it's not THAT much different. Yes, they have improved but that was required for any team in their position at the time. Also, remember fulham a few years ago when they spent 100 million and were horrible? Also, look at aston villa who have spent an insane amount of money as well lately and struggling a lot this season. The performances from the players like Joelinton, Willock, etc are insanely good compared to what they had done before. Eddie Howe is amazing, enough said. Deserves so much credit for this

Why are we giving Bruno a contract extension without appointing the new manager ffs

Garner is still a box to box and not DM in my eyes. Hope this helps

If Tuchel actually becomes available then he’s our best option, him and Rangnick behind the scenes would make too much sense. Tuchel is a VERY good coach, a perfectionist.

If we appoint Poch im done

Dalot had a very good game, especially defensively

Tbf he would do wonders at UTD

Im a United fan And the problem that I have with Bruno is that he is overdoing things. He just pushes his decisions that are risky and often the risk doesnt pay off. He is hell of a player but needs to be more efficent with his decision making. Make smart choices over spectacular ones. We need someone like Rooney and Scholesy :(

I love Ronaldo, the club I love made me turn on him. He’s that bad.

Greenwood started the season up top, 3 goals in 3 games. Then Ronaldo came in and fucked the whole thing up.

Might be impopular, but I think Rangnick got the setup quite right on the second half. 4-1-3-2 with both "CAMs" narrow (connecting with Bruno in CM) and both FB overlapping creating the width for the 2 strikers. This system allows to press with a super high line in a 3-5-2, with the team very compact sweeping spaces between the lines. If we replace Mctominay with a controlling DM (Kamara?) who stays back and plays good pases, as well as possibly Maguire with someone like Gvardiol (personal dream), the system could flourish with time. My favorite team (River Plate) plays a similar system and it has worked wonders under Gallardo. For United, it also allows lots of rotation with Pogba, Amad, Greenwood, and even the possibility to get Haland on the summer. What do you guys think?

This is the team I'm building in my latest save: https://sofifa.com/squad/1144196 To make it more fun, every sub player has to be from our academy. I really want to see how good they are when they reach their potential.

Subs from the academy is a cool idea

Martial wants to leave in January… hopefully martial fc goes with him.

Henderson links to Ajax are great. Playing for them with get him more comfortable with the ball at his feet and playing out the back, great for his development. Thats what loans should be about, to clubs that actually make sense not just minutes for the sake of minutes

I find it hilarious that ppl said pogba martial mata cavani lingard etc are out of contract and we're gonna have a crisis because of it. Fucking hell its the best thing that could happen for the next manager coming in, its a fooking blessing and its not in disguise fellas, next managers extremely fortunate

If martial and pogba leave that’s 60% of the toxic side of our fanbase out the way.

My money is on bs and he stays at barca

Laird leave?? Oh no no no. Wrong wrong wrong

Abu Kamara from U23 is good?

Maybe Casemiro if Real continues in this rut

Ill believe the words of the manager over the words of the media that are trying to cater to the fans who seem obsessed with the 433. Based off what Ole has said, id want a pivot containing players like Tchouameni, Guimaraes, Neves, Caqueret etc. The dream presently for me would be Tchouameni + Neves. Think those 2 fit exactly what Oles said he wants.

Good step-up going to Swansea but has to remain injury-free if he's going to make it here. The lad looks like he has plenty of potential but I fear he's going to be one of them that never realises it due to injury.

Pretty sure there were many including me

wow this is class mate

Usually don't comment on other people's squads, don't even really know how I came across this, but just wanted to say this is absolutely top stuff. Amazing work. (Can't wait to see how they all get on IRL, especially Kambwala & Zidane!)

👍🏻

Doubt it since it seems they getting Gilmour on loan

Pretty good list tbh, I do think though Svidersky should definitely stay around this season to play his first full season for the U23s as he is one of the only players who can play as a proper DM. I really like him as a natural leader and I'm really excited to see how he plays for the U23s as I feel he could be one of the key players in the side. I think Will Fish also could do with another season in the U23s as he looked very up and down at times and probably needs some more experience playing at U23s level before going on loan, needs to get more aggressive before he plays grown men week in week out. I would also maybe like to see Dylan Levitt, Tahith Chong and Di'Shon Bernard all go on loan if they do all stick around, ideally Levitt to a League one equivalent side, Chong to maybe the Eredivise and Bernard to a League One team. I think if they can get a team at that sort of level they should also be getting pretty solid gametime and can also really help their development as players.

I would love Denmark to win, for eriksen. I would be so poetic

Reminds me of when we were linked to random Norwegians when Ole just got here

He’s really the only player alongside Herrera that left since SAF that I miss

Donny Van de Beek. Ole wanted Grealish. We were betting on Villa getting relegated which would have drastically dropped Grealish' valuation. But Villa survived and that guaranteed that Villa would demand 70m plus for their captain as a PL side. At the time, we had not made a single signing and GlazersOut was trending.. So to pacify the fans, Woodward did what he was best at doing - throwing the fans a bone. He capitalised on our relationship with Ajax to do a quick deal for Donny, who had had an amazing break through season. Plenty of talk that Barcelona and Bayern wanted him so it made 'the steal' that much sweeter in the medias eyes. More PR benefit for United. What could possibly go wrong? For Donny obviously, the move was everything he had worked for. A big step up. No way he'd say no. So that is where we are at now. A manager stuck with a decent player, that he never wanted. As was the case with all previous United managers. So much politics goes on behind the scenes. Thoughts? Were we wrong to sign Donny? 35M was seated on the bench last night, and we clearly saw that he wasn't Ole's choice.

I think He can learn from Matic and Koopmieners already has a leader and captain mentality so better for the team

Henderson 81/88 Wan-Bissaka 83/87 Lindelof 81/84 Maguire 84/87 Shaw 84/86 McTominay 80/85 Fred 81/82 Greenwood 81/91 Rashford 85/91 Bruno 90/92 Cavani 86/86 Martial 81/85 Pogba 87/87 Matic 79/79 James 76/81 Alex Telles 82/82 Bailly 79/82 De Gea 86/86 van de Beek 81/86 Diallo 67/86 Williams 74/82 Mata 77/77 Jones 73/73 Romero 77/77 Tuanzebe 76/82

I don’t think Martial or Lingard will like it, and Spurs would rather have the money instead of more players on high salaries

I hope Garner gets a Premier League loan next season. He’s quality. This lad could definitely find his place in the team in about 2 years 22-23yr/o would be perfect.

I was there lad there was a few people who went over the top proper but most were peaceful inside the stadium they were let in ffs

Don’t mind Svensson as back up. Looked good in AZ when I’ve got to see him. Good attacking and good defending, average technique

He would be the perfect back up

That’s nice to hear! Hope Covid doesn’t mess up your summer.

Good luck on your new job brother P.S practice your slow motion run

As usual, and you?

Wow really appreciate This man, thanks for all the info!
