C3blue

The football was terrible under Maresca, while 1 or 2 players may have liked him the rest looked dis interested and as bored as the rest of us. I doubt the run of results we were in when he went had anything to do with city talks. Any compensation would be a bonus. City are in for a shocker and Haalands goals will dry up.

Get it done as soon as possible, said before I’d take a couple of players and or cash whatever combination they/we like. Could be really good news this.

I don’t agree with the Pedro comments, he’s decent for where we are and can get much better with us too but I’d like more quality everywhere. I’d swap Delap, Garnacho and Gittens for Osimhen tomorrow.He’d impact our season more than the 3 of them combined. With less games we need more quality less quantity. Real competition for Pedro or someone for him to play off.

You would have thought having failed to get a sponsor for years claiming lack of CL was costing them that after achieving CL and winning CWC they would have struck while the iron was hot. Especially knowing as you point out how saturated the market would be of prem clubs looking for a sponsors when the betting deals are excluded. Could have sign a 4 yr deal on much more than the £30m they are cap in handing around for at the minute. No foresight. Complete incompetence.

I have said on many occasions I don’t mind ‘market opportunities’ , free transfers and players with doable buy out clauses in order to generate revenue for the club. As long as the first team is taken care of first. I look at Garnacho and think he’s not good enough for our first team, £40m seemed about double what I’d have paid under the circumstances especially if your hoping to flip him and why allow a sell on if selling him on was half in the plan. The list of clubs willing and able to do business on 1 player at £50m+ falls off a cliff. I also hear how we are lowering the wage bill, have a cap, big players won’t come but the minute we want to sell someone it’s hard because of their wages??

Apparently UTD have a 10% sell on. We really got pants on this deal, a player who wanted out and they were desperate to get rid of and we were the only ones interested. Do you think our directors get laughed out of boardrooms?

I read some of these articles and it’s like reading the emperors new clothes. Other than apparently having some Beckham style commercial value in Argentina why is this guy valued so high because it’s not based on any game of football I’ve seen him play in a Chelsea shirt.

But Sanchez is clearly a number 2 in every sense.

I thought it was Alonso’s decision now that he’s the manager who stays and goes, who comes in. Otherwise what’s the point. I meant it was strange from my perspective as to what to do for the best with him. Decent enough but always injured. And with his stock so low it’s not the best time to try and sell him, maybe a loan.

🤞

Lavia is a strange one for me, I suppose it will depend on whether Alonso likes him. I think when fit he’s decent and if his wages are low having nursed him through injuries it’s worth keeping him plus who’s going to buy him for decent money right now? Much more important to get Enzo’s replacement right in midfield,I’d probably leave the rest alone.

This mob could be in for a shock when Alonso and his staff get hold of them if they think they have worked hard this season. The style of play hasn’t helped I don’t think, it looks slow and there is no energy. It’s been hard to support at the stadium sometimes but the numbers don’t lie either. If you play a team off the park and have them chasing shadows yes you can make them run more while still winning comfortably but that hasn’t been the case with us. Hope Alonso gives whoever remains a rocket up the arse. Worked hard…f**k me.

Good luck getting £40m from Napoli or any Italian club for that matter. Same with clubs in South America. They will loan him out, get a small fee wait till his book value is next to nothing and sell him. May even show some sort of profit on the books. I actually don’t mind them doing side flips on players to make some money but whoever thought he was good enough for our first team needs sacking. I don’t know a single person who thought he would improve us and here we are struggling to offload before we can attempt to actually buy some quality. George and Derry would have done better jobs this season.

Hire the fanciest manager you like but if we go into the season with those 2 as our GK options we are not serious. City bought Donnarouma and Trafford in the same week while already having a much better keeper than us. This is what we are competing against. Jorgensen wants out but to where. It’s going to be the same sh*t ain’t it all my optimism that Alonso would mean change is drained.Quanda, Barco, Emegha all palmed on him. I can see Cucarella and Fernandez leaving which would be fine if the money was used correctly but once again all I see is our first team getting slightly worse. And still nobody sacked for transfer window after transfer window millions spent to go backwards….crazy.

40 goals a season Mbape or 3 bench warmers, Garnacho Gittens Delap, it’s a choice. We make sh*tty choices right know. How much the psg winger Karvaathsivilli or what ever his name is or the trio above??? I’d rather one good player than 3 sh*t ones!
