Topic: Harry Maguire considering his options thread

[mattD]

So Fernandes writes an essay for simply missing a penalty? Unbelievable comms department that club have.

I'm expecting a thesis then from Ronaldo apologising for being a sexual predator.

[Sangria]

They got rid of him and brought in Mancini who won the league with City. Blanc and Strachan have had the most success as managers from those who've played under Ferguson but they haven't coached in ages. I suppose Steve Bruce has the distinction of hanging around the longest from all of them.

His team are currently 1-2 down at half time at home.

[Elzar]

Imagine spending 2 years telling the world that Man United need to spend on a Right Winger, then they spend £100million on one and he doesn’t even put him in the ‘best 11’.

What a laughable fool that prick is

[Kekule]

Oh, remember when he said they would win the league before we did with Klopp in 2019? 

I also remember him saying, a day or two after the Old Trafford riot in the spring, that if they splurged millions on Varane, Sancho and a centre forward they’d be champions this season.

They got that and he’s given up after 6 games and will, presumably, demand yet more millions be spent.

Surely not.

He was dead set against greed in the game last season as he cheer-led the destruction and rioting from his perch at Sky Central with his Che Guevara t-shirt on under his suit.

I'm sure Che Nevara will be campaigning for United to act responsibly and coach their current pampered stars to success rather than waste another billion or two.

[PaulF]

Steve Bruce isn't doing too badly. Keeping Ashley's Newcastle up is not an easy job . Nor is cabbage dodging .

[darragh85]

Football Genius him.

he said just before the start of the season and again 2 or 3 games into it  that they were contenders and that liverpool wont win the league

[tonysleft]

Steve Bruce isn't doing too badly. Keeping Ashley's Newcastle up is not an easy job . Nor is cabbage dodging .

in fairness to him he has, his only problem (and if you take Joelinton who he apparently didn't choose, its not that big) is he has gotten some money to spend. he got wilso and lewis who are good players, and fraser who is ok on a free, but the only other player in their team is saint-maximin. staying up is fine for newcastle

[Mister Flip Flop]

Gary Neville saying they won't win the league

Just need another 200m in January and then same again in the summer

He's an absolute mug. How sky employ him with a straight face i'll never know.

Strange, considering Rafa had a much shitter squad but did much better...

[Black Bull Nova]

From a ESPN FC video 4 days ago on Youtube regarding penalties in the PL.

But Klopp is to blame for them not getting enough penalties.

I'd love to see what % are in the last 10 minutes as well, especially when they need a winner or an equaliser (like Saturday of course)

[Peabee]

Neville's chosen XI no wonder he didn't make it as a manager

I saw that on Twitter. Haha. It’s like he does his analysis on FIFA 22.

[tonysleft]

well its not strange.. rafa is a miles better manager lol but i assume you mean press coverage

I saw that on Twitter. Haha. It’s like he does his analysis on FIFA 22.

I don't mind him too much but I can already fucking tell he's going to peddle the false notion that we're a Rice away from a perfectly functional midfield trio of Pogba/Bruno/Rice or whoever when really we don't have a #8, we have two #10s and we're trying to force one to be a hybrid 8/10 and hope we can get a 6 who somehow does the work of two people

[rossipersempre]

Its like some sort of Forth Bridge painting job with this lot and their transfer activity.

Meanwhile, their big crumbling stadium could do with some actual paint. And steel, concrete etc.

[Sir Capon of Debaser]

The Mancs have turned into the Kardashians. Every bit of news is aboot them. Meanwhile us an whoever are goin aboot their business

Now add touches in the box to all the teams for the last 4 years also with that.

[PaulF]

Probably not wise to be counting Ronaldo's touches in the box stats.

[MonsLibpool]

I saw that on Twitter. Haha. It’s like he does his analysis on FIFA 22.

They are the steoretypical FIFA 22 team with a manager that's more concerned about picking flashy players than what's actually good for the team.

He did yeah. I remember something about 2 tweets literally minutes apart. 1 about greed in the game and it all about money, the other one saying Sancho+Varane+Kane = title.  Surely replacing Kane with Ronaldo means a clean sweep for them. He's just a spoilt little slabber. Wants to be seen as a spokesman for football and what's wrong with it, but more importantly wants his team to throw money about until they get success, because he doesn't want to admit that his mate is the problem. I'm struggling to think of a bigger hypocrite in the game

"Varane, Kane and Sancho = title"

Is Ronaldo worse than Kane, Gary?

[Ghost Town]

The Mancs have turned into the Kardashians. Every bit of news is aboot them.

And they also have a big arse as their main selling point

[Yorkykopite]

Your penalty is wiv the angles now xox

[redgriffin73]

And they also have a big arse as their main selling point

[Sir Capon of Debaser]

And they also have a big arse as their main selling point

haha very good 

[Red Beret]

All this shows is that Pep needs to spend a few hundred million on some penalty takers.

And penalty winners.

[elbow]

Surely Squires has to be all over this twitter apology tomorrow?

This is pure gold, United are a breathtaking shambles 

Ask and ye shall receive. Enjoy!

Maguire out for “a few weeks” with a calf injury.

Jammy bastards.

[Crosby Nick]

Maguire out for “a few weeks” with a calf injury.

He obtained the injury giving birth to it.

[Sir Capon of Debaser]

He obtained the injury giving birth to it.

hahaha

[El Lobo]

He obtained the injury giving birth to it.

[FiSh77]

He obtained the injury giving birth to it.

Fucking hell

I reckon his ma would have rather given birth to a calf than force that swede out

[surfer. Fuck you generator.]

They got rid of him and brought in Mancini who won the league with City. Blanc and Strachan have had the most success as managers from those who've played under Ferguson but they haven't coached in ages. I suppose Steve Bruce has the distinction of hanging around the longest from all of them.

Yeah Blanc is probably the most successful,  winning the league with Bordeaux was massive (wasn't Alou Diarra,  formerly a prospect with us,  a key player for them..)

[Armand9]

is ole really going to do a DVB with sancho? ronaldo coming has given him a headache of trying to get game time for the now available cavani, where greenwood would normally slip to third choice striker but that'll stunt his growth for a kid who is clearly talented and seen as their future, so i presume ole sees it as essential he gets game time (i dont disagree with that in principle) so puts him on the right, so where the fuck does sancho fit in?

left wing... well pogba has that spot atm cos the mad bastard can't see beyond playing fred and the scot in the middle and while ole has dropped pogba for periods before he clearly wants to keep him happy to some degree at this time (tho obviously he should be in midfield but well, it's ole)

aaaaaaaaaaand there's rashford, he's back soon and when up to speed is defo ole's choice for the leftwing

(i assume he can't persisit with macfred when rashford takes back his spot from pogba but the twat's such a fool im really not sure if pogba gets in over the useless duo - but that's for another discussion)

so unless ole is prepared to stunt greenwood's progress and bench him (and he's effectively 3rd choice striker in that role behind cavani sub wise), i have no idea what he's going to do with sancho on a regular basis, i see him being rotated in here and there but wtf, you just spunked 74million for someone who isn't a nailed on first 11 starter?

Just shows there is zero planning going on there, it is hysterical and I love it.

Sadly, they might be opening their eyes and realising Smeagol is actually shit. Got a delivery today, drivers were Mancs and we chatted about footy, they both reckoned his time is up and will be gone soon.

[Ziltoid]

[Skeeve]

don't look at it mate, some things can't be unseen

For those who can't resist admiring his attempt at picking the laziest XI in PL history, it is:

De G

AWB
SHAW
MAGUIRE
VARANE

MCT
POGBA

BRUNO

GREENWOOD
CAVANI
RONALDO
