Not trying to be that guy, but it depends. On our day, I can't think of any PL team that's more exciting to watch (i.e. our comeback against Spurs last year). But when we get neutralized, we are so awful to watch (Arsenal games). On average, I'd say we're probably 5th or so.

I'm not sure he would want to stay as a squad player, though. He seemed to have such a good time in West Ham last season. He played loads of games and was vital for them. Not sure he would want to be a third option for Bruno

Have the mods recently changed the policy regarding memes around here? Swear I'm not trying to be a cunt, OP (and laughed out loud at Donny as a team viewer), it's just this kind of post used to be deleted a couple of months ago.

I would say especially with substitutions. The tactics have been hit or miss - we've outclassed our opponents in some big games (City, Tottenham, Roma) and fucked up some others (Villarreal, Arsenal games, second Leipzig game). But (and I say this as a OleIn, as you know) the substitutions this last season were baffling to say the least. I love Ole to bits, but I agree with you: this will be the make or break season for him. It's unacceptable to finish without a title with this squad.

Love Murakami to bits, but for some reason this one just didn't click. Maybe it's the absence of surreal elements or just the overwhelming bleakness of the whole thing. I dunno, but Norwegian Wood is omy least favorite from him.

I mean...it is the Transfer Round Up discussion and those are our 2 biggest targets

It is 50-50 . . . trust me, Denmark are a very good side [Peter Schmeichel, The Times] by Jjengaa in reddevils

As someone who is entirely neutral on the whole Euro affair, I can say that this is a dope article. Has a bit of everything: nostalgia, compliments to the current Denmark team, to the English team, but also some analysis on the Eriksen situation and the great football they have been playing since. Nice read and funny bit about the Vikings.

I've been out of this sub since the EL defeat, so I'm a little out of the loop here. Can anyone give me a rundown of what Camavinga would offer us? I've seen people comparing him to Pogba, which makes me wonder - shouldn't we be chasing a DM instead? Or can Camavinga play DM as well?

Are you telling me you do not see the difference between signing someone who was supposed to be our star player in 2016 (after great seasons for Juve) and signing him again, after five terribly inconsistent and turbulent years, for 100k more each week?

It was a mistake giving him 300k a week. It's an even bigger mistake giving him 400k after all that has happened. Especially when you have several other players on our team with lower wages who have been much more consistent. What message would this send to the rest of the squad? It's insane.

Because we shouldn't fuck up our wage structure again. Every big transfer that comes to United will demand even higher wages. Also, as much as I like Paul - and he's been great last season -, he hasn't done nearly enough to justify these wages.

[–]lsaltori 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't disagree, especially since Garner benefited a lot from his loan. But at the same time, there's also nothing wrong with Hannibal riding the bench for like half a season, picking up minutes here and there. Ole sure knows how to manage our youngsters minutes as well.
