Topic: Harry Maguire considering his options thread

[Port_vale_lad]

Said it on here when Ronaldo signed and i will say it again, they will win the league this year i think quite easily as well.

[Lynndenberries]

Being as objective as possible, they weren’t good today. Teams will pick them apart in transition.

Have you seen Steve Bruce’s record vs that shower? Nevermind the Toon’s.

Abysmal.

[Clint Eastwood]

I’m sorry, but this Ronaldo fairytale is fucking nauseating.

Saw this SSN headline claiming that he had pre-match nerves that were eased by the ‘incredible’ United fans. What a load of shite.

He must be gutted he's not the biggest sporting story this weekend.

Genuinely think they will win it, chelsea will fall short, city aint got a striker, and i just think pool are a salah or mane injury away from imploding.

If i had to walk into a bookies and put some money on someone, this year i would put it on united.

Fill yer boots. They're 6/1. 
When they finish fourth I'll tell ya what went wrong.

[GreatEx]

Chelsea are better than United, never mind us or City. United will crumble when the pressure's on as they have the last few seasons.

Even better, you tell me who will win it so i know where to put me money.

[stevieG786]

Ronaldo is still class, but fuck me Newcastle keeper was shite

Bruno’s goal was a belter though, as was the 4th with its buildup

[stevieG786]

He must be gutted he's not the biggest sporting story this weekend.

What’s the first?

[Stockholm Syndrome]

What’s the first?

Emma Raducanu winning the US Open

Emma Raducanu winning the US Open

Ah, right okay

How appropriate that dickhead and his media fawning creeps were booted off the headlines by an 18 year old without an overinflated ego

I actually feel like the PL is tainted now and, for the first time in a few years I think I want City to beat United

[Bobinhood]

Its just gonna be a freaking good league, that's all. St Maxime all by himself was enough to frazzle these on the counter.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

City won the league last year without a striker so the notion that they cant do it again is puzzling. This lot wont win the league due to their midfield (quality and lack of depth) and their manager.

But hey ho typical bedwetting 4 games in

[didi shamone]

Even better, you tell me who will win it so i know where to put me money.

Us, city or Chelsea. Too early to tell. Im edging towards Chelsea but its way too early. We're huge at 6/1. Seems the bookies are writing us off with United. 
I'd take any bet on us finishing above them though.

[Stevie93]

Ah, right okay 

He’s right though

[him_15]

Happy to see United doing well thus keep Ole a bit longer.

[MancEunuchian]

Serious question, lets say we all rate Prem/CL the same, would you rather see them winning nothing and us winning nothing or we win one of the titles, while they win the other?


Generally i would rather see us win, even if they win, but goddamn, i already start to get pissed off with everyone jerking off to the Ronaldo signing, that i am considering it...

Looking forward to following this thread this season

They won’t win the league cause they have Harry Maguire at CB who averages 1 blunder per game

[Andy @ Allerton!]

With all those extra fingers, he probably thought twice as many people were waving at him

[Ravishing Rick Dude]

Newcastle's last five games: LLLDL

This year they will go down for sure together with Norwich.

Well done for beating a team which is worse than Norwich this season.

Strange picking out Maguire as he's the least of our problems, especially with Varane next to him.

[Big Dirk]

Having Varane beside him today didn’t stop him having his brain fart decision for the Newcastle goal…the guy is a complete liability.

[Persephone]

Haha relax there. There is no way they win the league, they played Newcastle not exactly top of the table quality there. They will pick up more points against the bottom teams now but are they breaking 90 points, I highly doubt it.

[harleydanger]

They are STACKED. They have Ronaldo, Cavani, Rashford, Pogba, Fernandes, Greenwood, Sancho and Lingard. They should dispose of the dross easily.

Everyone is smashing the dross in this league. If you don't win your head to heads you don't win this league, and United aren't beating us, Chelsea and City in a mini league.

[RedG13]

I dont think McGuire is good fit for a playing the type of football needed to win a title but  there are 2 spots  in other position that they need more help then CB which is RB and a DM. Also dont think the coaching staff is good enough either.
Also De Gea also made a mistake on the goal too he should have rushed out to close the space.

Happy that your red brethren chose not to take the opportunity to protest the Glazers ownerships whilst one of them was sat in the directors box?  Seemed like an opportunity too good to be missed if you ask me.  I guess United fans concern over the future of their club is not as important as catching a glimpse of Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Glazers know it too, the game with the most media interest so far this season and with world watching, you could have had 90 minutes of making your point to the world’s media, of making it uncomfortable for a man you supposedly all want out of your club.  But instead he goes along and gets to sit there smiling and  laughing inside as he knew you lot were going to be too busy sitting there in your official Manchester United “Ronaldo 7” merchandise, and looking starry eyed at the pitch, to worry about the owners. 

They treat you like mugs because you are mugs.

[keyop]

And she has shown more class, integrity and humbleness in 3 weeks than he will in his lifetime. Being a great sportsperson is about so much more than talent on the field of play.

[killer-heels]

They have a decent recent record against City at their place. I dont believe they are winning the league but by stacking up with an absolutely shed full of firepower they have gone about it in the right way, as we have experienced ourselves in the past.

They’ll save the protest until it’s useful as a method to try to create trouble for us as usual. Didn’t work last time, won’t work this time. Maybe the media will call out the fact that they don’t seem too invested in protesting if they only show up one or two games a season. Probably not though.

Interesting piece by Jonathan Wilson on the Ronaldo signing, in contrast to the media-gasms elsewhere:

https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2021/sep/11/cristiano-ronaldo-hero-worship-does-not-mask-manchester-uniteds-flaws

Even with Utd's issues in midfield and defence, there is still one glaring weakness in Solksjaer. Teams rarely (if ever) win things with an average coach, and Utd will still get found out in the big moments against the best managers, regardless of how many goals Ronaldo scores.

I could be wrong but Wilson doesnt think much of us and our chances this season either.

[rossipersempre]

So, the cringefest Plastic Ronnie circus rolled into Salford yesterday and it was all so boringly predictable.

[Clayton Bigsby]

The Wilson dude is not saying anything new.

[keyop]

The Wilson dude is not saying anything new.

Not in terms of the problems Utd have elsewhere on the pitch, but he acknowledges the insecurities of a club pursuing this sort of vanity project, which is more telling of where Utd are right now. Trying to recapture former glories with a former player isn't the sort of long term thinking they need.

It would be like us buying another top striker after 2013/14 to score even more goals, when the problems weren't goalscoring.

[ScouserAtHeart]

Also, what does it say about their manager's standing that it took Fergie to make a call to get him to sign?

I was embarrassed when Rodgers was getting Stevie to text Kroos to get him to sign for us. At least he was a current player. This is worse.
