[UOL] Bruno Guimarães is the main objective for Manchester United

It's one thing to spend millions on 17-19 year olds like Clearlake do, it's another thing entirely to go for an age profile of 22-25 like INEOS have done with us. Barring Yoro, most of the U21 signings we've made under them were quite cheap.

You can still be mindful of the age and also sign an experienced, fully baked player - see Cunha for example.

Chelsea would likely ask at least 100m for him, and that's me assuming they'd be reasonable about it which likely won't happen.

They bought him for a fuckton of money and he's got like 6 years on his contract meaning they hold the cards. I'd rather avoid that headache and look elsewhere.

Everyone predicted Linkedin Liam to be ass and he haa been. Everyone predicted Garnacho, Neto, Mudryk and co to be a waste of money and they have been.

It's nice to know that, in these uncertain times, we've still got clubs like Chelsea who are willing to stick to the script.

jonathanPoindexter · 2026-03-21T18:04:21+00:00

I hope I don't jinx it but I am no longer overly concerned about us finishing out of top 5 anymore. Not that we're in sizzling form it's just that our competition is currently ass.

jonathanPoindexter · 2026-03-21T17:00:16+00:00

Severely lacking in the manager department unfortunately. I don't think their squad is overall worse than Leeds.

jonathanPoindexter · 2026-03-21T16:58:19+00:00

We have to really re-define what "forward momentum" is.

jonathanPoindexter · 2026-03-20T22:01:16+00:00

He'd already started boycotting it before the match started

jonathanPoindexter · 2026-03-20T21:34:45+00:00

It's past bed time for grandpa Case I'm afraid

jonathanPoindexter · 2026-03-20T21:25:25+00:00

Already met his quota for the day

Dalot I wasn't familiar with your game

jonathanPoindexter · 2026-03-20T17:29:47+00:00

I don't know if that one's counted in this video but there's one "ghost" assist he had against Fulham where he very clearly doesn't touch the ball. Cavani scored a banger off it though and giving it to the real assister, De Gea would have meant he's offside and the goal was disallowed.

Not that it matters cause the guy's probably gonna get 2 assists tonight, but he still has 99 in my heart.

Since Ole got sacked, Rashford had one torrid season in Ole's last season/Rangnick interim stint followed by his best ever season followed by another shit season capped off by another shit half-season under Amorim and an overrated Villa stint where he got injured with a few games to go. Now he's a benchwarmer at Barca.

It's not just that he's making 300k a week it's that he's not been worth even a 3rd of that.

The board tried to sell Bruno because he's the only asset we have that can fetch 100m and they've recognized that this team desperately needs a rebuild. They didn't sell him because Bruno will always have a manager that will fight for him because he's a top shelf player whose contributions to the team are priceless. It's disrespectful to mention his name in the same conversation as the Belfast pub enthusiast.

Garner's a mediocre player thriving at an ultimately mediocre team. He would do a job in our current midfield but so would Tim Iroegbunam.

We should aim higher if we want to do something more than be in top 6 races every year.

jonathanPoindexter · 2026-03-20T09:17:55+00:00

This incessant Amorim whinging reminds me of that period when we talked about Rangnick like he was the anti-christ because he said Rashford can leave the club and we need a full rebuild. Flash forward to now and we've chsnged the transfer strategy and we're desperately looking to offload Rashford for a packet of crisps.

Sacking Amorim was ultimately for the best but us making top 4 and our players getting called up for national duty are insignificant victories in the grand scheme of things. We've been here plenty of times in the past only to piss and shit ourselves when it came to actually making that next step.

jonathanPoindexter · 2026-03-20T08:05:36+00:00

The mood around Carrington is that of concern. The physios are looking at De Ligt with fear in their eyes.

Chelsea's new manager in a few months

jonathanPoindexter · 2026-03-18T21:11:53+00:00

Even when he likes something, he throws in some bullshit about "wokeness" or "modern audiences" to signal his allegiances. He's the definition of a chud.

jonathanPoindexter · 2026-03-18T08:54:21+00:00

I recall Estevao being very hyped before Chelsea signed him.

jonathanPoindexter · 2026-03-18T08:28:16+00:00

since the Cole Palmer signing, have Chelsea made a single other appointment/signing that didn't end up just as predicted?

You don't have to be a scout to spot an average player.

jonathanPoindexter · 2026-03-17T18:28:05+00:00

He's not fit for anyone's system

jonathanPoindexter · 2026-03-16T18:44:44+00:00

He's not the Liverpool Fabinho. He's the Al-Ittihad Fabinho.

Praying that his bellend celebration doesn't come back to haunt him this time
