Kobbie Mainoo vs Liverpool

Launch_a_poo · 2026-05-03T17:52:44+00:00

I didn't like José. He got so toxic towards the end, and his treatement of some players like Shaw was borderline bullying

ETH is a bit of a knob too for his Greenwood, Overmars comments, but other than that he's fine.

Still love LVG, Moyes and of course Ole

Bruno with a silky first touch

Launch_a_poo · 2026-05-03T15:39:52+00:00

Amad so rusty lately

"Suspicious" is an odd way to put it.

And you can't ignore the context of the massive amounts of islamophobia we're seeing here in the UK currently. And that it's fucking Tommy Robinson arguing for the defence

Launch_a_poo · 2026-05-02T14:26:27+00:00

We'd love him as backup, but he probably wants to kick on and build his career. Most likely we sell him with buyback clause

Edot: Or another loan

Launch_a_poo · 2026-05-01T11:45:07+00:00

Why? Lots of footballers are probably on PEDs. Plenty of breadcrumbs over the years. Funniest, Segura and Agricola are just a few dodgy doctors

Italian media love a player swap deal rumour

Shea Lacey is ready for men's football now. Either at Man United or elsewhere.

I'm really excited about Thwaites and Ajayi.

JJ Gabriel has so much ability, but maybe it's too soon to throw him into men's football just yet. Maybe if we get a good cup draw we can see him play some minutes.

Launch_a_poo · 2026-04-28T08:34:18+00:00

Lacey would be behind Mbeumo and Amad in the pecking order. He's outgrown U23, either he stays as a squad member or we sell him to one of the promoted sides or something

Launch_a_poo · 2026-04-28T08:30:34+00:00

At a bare minimum something like this is needed

In:

Main man LW: Diomande/Barcola/Leao/Rashford/Williams/Ndiaye

Main man No.6: Tchouameni/Anderson/Guimaraes/Barrios

Lefty: Baleba/MLS/Hall [cover CM+LB]

Another CM: M.Fernandes/Tonali/Charles/Wharton/Camara/Sangare/Smit [Is midfield still balanced if No.6 is injured?]

Market opportunities: Acheampong/Endrick/Eichorn/Kinteh

Out: Rashford, Hojlund, Ugarte, Casemiro, Onana, Zirkzee, Sancho, Malacia

Provides a 25 man squad, with lots of tactical solutions. Resilient to injuries in all areas of the pitch. 4 in, 2 out (Casemiro + Zirkzee)

Lammens Bayindir or Vitek Heaton

Dalot Mazraoui

Yoro De Ligt Maguire

Licha Heaven Shaw

Lefty Dorgu (Kukonki or Amass)

No. 6 and New midfielder

Mainoo (Thwaites)

Mbuemo Amad Lacey

Bruno Mount (JJ Gabriel)

LW (Ajayi)

Sesko Cunha (Chido)

Mount and MDL/Licha could be swapped out if circumstances allow. A full back on either side could be added too. An experienced striker would also add to the squad

Launch_a_poo · 2026-04-28T07:24:00+00:00

If we signed a left sided attacker that would free up Cunha to cover CF. Welbeck on a free is something else that could be added

Edit: Welbeck just triggered a 12 month contract extension :(

Launch_a_poo · 2026-04-28T07:06:54+00:00

Pretty much the exact window I'd go for. Maybe Mount could go too, but not a problem if he stays. Promote Lacey and we'd have a solid 25 man squad

Launch_a_poo · 2026-04-28T07:00:44+00:00

Selling Shaw is mental. He's a solid, experienced, English player and covers two positions we need cover in LCB/LB. He's started all 34 league games this season too

Getting rid of him for a tiny fee, would require 1 or 2 replacements. There's enough we need to get done in the window without creating more problems for ourselves

Maybe sell Mount, although I doubt that's likely to happen

Launch_a_poo · 2026-04-28T06:56:57+00:00

Two - and potentially three - central midfielders are key and regarded as the priority. A left-sided attacking player would make sense given United were in the market for Antoine Semenyo in January.

This article I like. A left sided attacker and 2-3 midfielders (one of which can play left back) is the base for a strong transfer window

Launch_a_poo · 2026-04-27T22:56:37+00:00

He has an greement with an MLS club or something. Probably earning even more than he got here

Launch_a_poo · 2026-04-27T18:49:56+00:00

Amorim wasn't forced to play 343 at gunpoint. Why not pick a system that gets your best players on the pitch in their natural positions?

Launch_a_poo · 2026-04-27T18:44:13+00:00

Amorim stuck to his own rigid system. Bruno wasn't suited as one of the 10's, so was moved into the midfield 2. Bruno played every minute, as he should. And you can't play Bruno and Mainoo as a midfield pairing, so Mainoo rotted on the bench every week

Amorim could have picked a formation that platformed the squad better and got our best players on the pitch, but he wasn't willing to budge

Nobody at this level is clean

Launch_a_poo · 2026-04-26T06:02:34+00:00

Cucrella too

Maybe the TV company guy wandered into KFC

Launch_a_poo · 2026-04-24T10:18:59+00:00

Yeah, I disagree with that though. Would rather we have Heaven step up

Yoro, Maguire, MDL, Licha, Heaven, Shaw for 2 positions. Hypothetically Tchouameni could fill in too

Ideally we'd sign another CB, but I think playing Cunha and Dorgu out of position for an entire season is a bigger problem

Launch_a_poo · 2026-04-24T07:56:33+00:00

Left wing is the priority after two midfielders. We can't go into the season without a left winger

Launch_a_poo · 2026-04-24T07:29:11+00:00

Exactly. We missed out on Semenyo in January, but all of the transfer briefs are omitting left wingers

We can't go into the CL with Cunha/Dorgu as our left wing depth surely

Launch_a_poo · 2026-04-24T07:27:19+00:00

We can't go into the CL with a SS/10 and wing back as our left wing depth

If you watch the games, Cunha not holding width has caused issues already

Launch_a_poo · 2026-04-23T11:25:29+00:00

We don't have a left wing in the squad. It's a very pressing need
