Everton being talked up as ‘doing a Leicester’ is wrong in so many ways.

It's doing them a disservice too. They are the fourth most successful club in this country who have been in the top flight every season since the 1950s. They are hardly some minnow fresh from the lower leagues.

 

Everton winning it, whilst being very unexpected, wouldn't be on the same level as ours.

Apologies if this has already been posted.  Unbelievably entitled/embarrassing Utd fan 🤣🤣

[StanSP]

Pretty much sums up my feelings on it all.

 

If Everton won the league this season (and I don't think they will), it is so far removed from what we achieved. It is an achievement in itself, but to compare it to what we did is so far off the mark it's embarrassing.

If true this is incredible, absolutely brilliant. Over £2mill a month on the wages of keepers. United are the gift that keeps on giving

606 is absolutely pitiful. A hideous combination of Savage and Sutton and callers who are clearly pisstaking taken seriously.

It’s obvious Maguire is not strong-minded.  He isn’t wired to handle the weight of that transfer fee, much less the United captaincy.  Won’t face the press after a bad match.

 

Now he’s damaged his off-the-field reputation.  And the worse place his mind gets to, the more shockingly he plays.

 

He’s a national laughing stock.  The ₤80M pound fridge/wardrobe is the dominant theme on football social media.  Maguire jokes and memes get massive reposts and upvotes.  His image as a player is now fixed in the public mind.

 

My reflex is to feel bad for him, because he is a decent character and gave his best for us.  But as a United player he’s spent too much time badgering officials and making excuses, and not enough just getting on with it.  My mental image of him now is arms outstretched, on his ass, looking for a ref to complain to.  He’s slotted into that Entitlement Crew as if he’d been there his whole life.

 

A great transfer for LCFC, but it’s ruining Maguire’s career.  Elite young players: when you hear the siren song of the Big Money Six, make sure it’s the right move at the right time!

Maguire needs to be a strong enough character to overcome his problems and the ridicule he receives.

 

In the late 1980's Tony Adams suffered terrible abuse with the Eeyore donkey chants and caricatures but he managed to regain his form. He came back stronger and became an Arsenal and Premier League legend.

what's the view on Lamella. I think it was disgraceful  that he initiates and gets no punishment.

I don’t understand how they both weren’t reds they did pretty much the same thing.

Do you think Harry has it in him?

Probably not. Harry can only manage 6 pints before he's wobbling, whereas big Tone can drink 12 without showing any sign of being tipsy.

Telles signs for Man Utd. 

Good signing...

Been some great left back signings this window by Premier League teams

I’m not so sure, from the off I felt this was more of a desperate signing... 27 and hardly set the world alight, he is an improvement on Shaw but that isn’t difficult  at least they didn’t throw loads of money at this one and got him for a good price

Could be decent for Fulham and for the player to get his career back on track? 

 

Was highly rated by Chelsea before his injury.

I'd have him here.

Let’s be honest. Ruben Loftus Cheek is famous for your misses fancying him and not a lot else.

Hard to perform in a team that is everyone's whipping boy.

I hope this isn't true but if it is then I feel bad fir Maguire. A lot of people are on Bruno's side but Bruno Fernandes have a history of doing this. He comes across as a petulant child. Nobody likes losing. No need for this.

Stuff like that happens all the time I expect

[StanSP]

Was Fernandes the one that had a row with someone on the pitch in the Europa League game last season? I think it was against Sevilla but can't remember who the argument was with.

Yes. It was with Lindelof. He also has history of doing it at Sporting. Man comes scross as a ****. Better players than him dont act like that when losing.

To be honest apart from the odd penalty when was the last time he himself had a good game?

I am fortunate enough to be able to have a channel that shows games from the 70s and 80s.  One game, Man Utd v Arsenal has the teenager Adams coming on as a sub when MU have a corner.  Within seconds of arriving in the penalty area he is directing operations ..... Adams, a born leader - and great to see him go from the donkey chant to someone nearly all supporters admired.

I think he is too “nice”.  If he turns out to be as good as Adams I’ll be very surprised.

Totally agree.  I wish VAR would do something about this form of cheating
