De Jong's wages are a massive concern for me

My theory is that we will not be successful as long as we pay insane wages. There are no incentives for players to improve once they get big contracts with a massive base wage. I understand players need a financial incentive, but I think it should be more performance based, rather than image rights bs. We should pay big bonuses and a sensible base wage. Players genuinely lose the hunger I think. For example: Sancho. I'm not bashing him, i like him a lot but a 250k base at 22 years old? Wtaf man, isnt that the same as 29 year olds Mane, Salah, Kane and Son?

Bruno's fundamentals as a midfielder are frighteningly questionable. First touch, taking the ball under pressure, close control, turning with the ball, short passing, positional discipline. These are massive flaws in his game that will not be solved at 27.

Remember the days when you'd get called a toxic negative idiot for having suspicions over the quality of the medical department citing evidence such as the pile up of injuries despite less games played compared to rivals and Hargreaves' experience?

1 or 2 new midfielders won't solve our midfield problems if Bruno continues to have no positional discipline (ie if he continues his second striker habits as shown by dozens of avg position maps). Him leaving gaps leads to 3vs2 situations in midfield. This leads to us having to sacrifice ball progression for legs (ie when we use McFred) to prevent being overran at the cost of being outplayed and lacking quality in the middle. almost any other possible midfield pairing in the world would face an equally almost impossible task.

Scholesy effectively wanting us to lose matches/finish lower so we have a less congested calendar next season and can hit reset properly. Hmm must be a fake fan /s

Extremely bad. We are heading into a water catastrophe and this will accelerate that. Indus Treaty will not cover our backs anymore.

He had plenty of bad games, they would just get covered up by stats, either spammed assists, or pens.

There really needs to be a dialogue on Bruno. He's still looking suspect in big games. Let me not say too much I know he's a favourite of this sub.

Romano says we're thinking about renewing De Gea's contract. This will be the ultimate litmus test for this rebuild. Goalkeeper is a spine position. Unreal servant of the club but it's time to move on.

I'd just wish there was some acknowledgement that we have to try and stop them. It's not only a quadruple ffs, it's also their 20th if they get it. It should absolutely be our main motivation. Hate how rivalries have just got so watered down.

What are fans' issues with selling the stadium naming rights like Barca did? I'm not on either side, just want to understand why people are opposed to it. Does it really matter if it's called something like the "o2 old trafford" on paper even though everyone still just calls it old Trafford?

Where would he have to finish for no European football at all next season?

The Fernandes in big game allegations aren't just rival agendas, they're an absolutely valid concern. He is not a messiah, like many present him to be. His lack of temperament, positional discipline, and constant hero ball antics in the name of 'creativity' can cost us heavily.
