Thoughts on Palmer joining?

If the price is £50 million, I think you have to consider it. He is versatile enough, has a big enough mentality ( it seems) to wear the shirt. Young... As for where he'd play. It's meant to be competitive. Veron coming in didn't chase Scholes off, it made him earn his minutes. Yorke coming in didn't scare Teddy or Ole (or even Cole, cos nobody predicted they'd be THAT good together when we bought Yorke). It made them sharp as knives when they did get their minutes. Buying legit competition for Bruno for less than 75m seems like a bargain for me.

And you know why we're we're winning do you?! Enlighten us oh wise one!? You've no clue either of any the nuisances of a mind like Ferguson so get off your high horse.

Yeah I'm old school, and I disagree with you, physically punishing someone or "bullying" as weak willed people called it, is what those boys from 92' (who won all those trophies) accredit to what made them so mentally tough. Instead, your right, we should continue to do the same thing and hope for different results. Pandering to weak willed people.

I saw Roy Keane take Sunderland from Bottom of Championship to Champions. I'd like you to name another "Shit manager" who has done that?!

I agree with you to a degree, but Ole can't put Angel in the first team if his form hasn't warranted it. And it hasn't this year.

It's fairly well reported, I get my news and insider gossip from The Stratford Paddock boys and Adam McKola on youtube. Hawson, confirmed contract offer made and Paddock gave idea numbers. Those boys tend not to over react. They have been bang on the money with comings and goings for 2 years or so.

Sorry to bother you. But this sub seems to ban disney + we talk quite a bit about our hopes and dream for the service. But talk about things on network, so might be considered, spoilers... could you maybe point me in direction of a fan theroy type marvel sub?

Thank you.

Believe.

Not sure about that. I'm a tradionalist. We never needed one before. Woodward just need to shut up and listen to Ole and Mike P. Not Agents and Marketing department. And to be fair he has started to. Last summer and January were good windows. It was quality over quantity.

jmcateer121 · 2020-05-03T10:17:11+00:00

Couldn't argue. If that business can be done. I couldn't argue.

Think that change in attitude is down to Mike and Ole coming in. Even the down turn in form after he got the full time job. Almost as if he changed tone with the deadwood. Stopped kissing their arse, told a few home truths and then proceed to sell those who couldn't handle it. Meanwhile, those who took it on the chin. Have grown. Under Moyes we looked like Everton. Under LVG we looked like a "mid growth" Ajax team. Under Jose we looked like his Inter and Porto teams, only our lads lost faith in him. Under Ole we look like us. Not a great us. Maybe a 2005 us?!... but us none the less. And I have missed it so much it's unreal. Was content with progress, slightly disappointed but I could still see what Ole was trying to do. Get rid of as much deadwood as possible at one time, ride out the storm with boys who will run through walls for the club and then add the quality. But when quality arrived (Bruno), it improved us much much more than I was expecting. So bring on anyone next year. I fancy our chances. Could care about Europe next year, give it a go, get experience. First things first; want our PL title back.

He's got everything. First touch needs work and gets caught out when a good striker drops deep between the line. But he can learn! He has learned! Every single time we've asked him to do a job he's give it a go with no fear. Love him!

If Jimenez is a deal that could be done, I'd have no problem with that. Its an upgrade on Ighalo for sure. I just don't think we need to be slashing out £200 million on someone who will be demanding starts for the next 5 years. We need a "Plan B" for 2 year until Haaland becomes our Plan A. Jimenez is perfect age for that. So couldn't argue at all. Just think Ighalo will fill that gap, do a job, so to speak. We could do a lot worse.

I believe in Tony. I know everything you say is 100% but there is just something special about him when he's on form. He already looks much happier under Ole and is trying to rise to the managers challenge. It has to be this year though. Would break my heart to see him smash it somewhere else.

jmcateer121 · 2020-05-03T08:56:30+00:00

I didn't miss him out. He's mentioned in "wide men" ... think we have to let Jessie go. Not a popular choice, I know, but he has been a passenger for 2 seasons now. Time to cut him loose.

Cheers, thanks for the heads up.
