Wake up, my good friends.

 

This is football!

 

 

No sorry.

We give this weird human behavior the name football, nowadays. In fact, it has nothing to do with the game we used to know.

 

...

Or you are at the stage in life when men or women are developing from a child into a adult and becoming able that there are no longer team players in our modern football.

Something like the last of the Mohicans.

I'm really starting to think United fans are the biggest flip floppers around. They do this all of the time these days. So many players are sh*t to them until they join their club.

They have been really wierd towards us about this, the comparison that comes to mind is Spurs fans when they hyjacked our Piennar bid.

At that point Spurs were our bitches for 2 decades (still are) and beating us to a transfer was a big deal considering everything we have put them through and all that anger and frustration came boiling out in that moment.

A similar but less extreme thing has happened with United fans lately. Since Fergie retired they have basically been another Spurs to us, constantly beating them, finishing above them, winning titles while they aren't getting close and they have even done the most Spursy Vs Chelsea thing off all and couldn't even beat us while we were crap (in 15/16).

All this rubbing our noses in with this deal (like Spurs did with Piennar) is because this is the first real time they have got something over on us for a very, very long time and all the anger and frustration they have had Vs us since Fergie retired is coming out in an ugly ugly way.

to be fair it tends to be the same with most football fans until the player in question signs for their club. 

 

Most fans have the decency to bury such hypocrisies, though, rather than taking to twitter to broadcast them to the world.

He'll score 20+ in the league but it will be interesting to see what type of impact the rest of his game has and/or how it develops or doesn't.

I felt you could see the improvement in him under Koeman.

Mourinho is not known for his attacking coaching. He's as good a defensive coach as there is but you could make the case that all of Pogba, Mikhitaryan, Mata, Martial had much lower attacking outputs under him last season than they had previously while both Rashord's and Lingard's progress seemed to stutter.

Even Drogba, who is synonymous with Jose, was actually a far better striker post-Jose than he was under him.

Knowing Jose, he'll probably convert Lukaku into 3rd CB in away games when defending in the box. With Ibra he could play 6-3-1 as Ibra brings people into play and can hold the ball quite well. Lukaku is hit and miss in that regard. 

Now this is a done deal I guess we can close this thread then?  Or do we want to keep debating about Man Utd players for the rest of the transfer window.......just asking:wink:

I think him being a lazy sod will drive miurinho to clash with him, he likes everyone to run. However I think mou not being a good attacking coach is a roumour that stuck but is incorrect, defensive football is something that worked for Chelsea and inter, he certainly doesn't mind sitting back, but usually when an opposing team is more creative, it's a tactic that works, however  when he was at Real Madrid the attacking football was incredible his team scored the highest goal tally in la liga history and then beat it the following year, I think it was 120 goals. But again I would agree there are better attacking coaches out there and his determination to have attackers track back can detract from their freedom to express their attacking talents, I think him and Lukaku are a bad fit, I'm surprised Mou went in for him tbh

Maybe he had less say than we assume. United have become a team hungry for big name signings to keep all their fans in Surrey and Asia happy now the Fergie magic is six feet under. 

Isn't it more to do with the fact Jose likes his team to be be like NBA players? There's no way he'll go for anyone below 6ft for a striker and Morata was becoming harder to get for them?

Saw clips of his first training session on sky sports and even there i clocked a few lose first touches. I give it until christmas until the Mancs start getting restless.

 

And this is why Dion Dublin now presents tv property programmes.

Basically he's saying Lukaku picked Manure because we got rid in the first place. Who was our manager at the time, Dion?

Former Manchester United striker Dion Dublin believes Romelu Lukaku may have rejected Chelsea this summer due to a desire for ‘a change’ after being snubbed by them in the past.

It's annoying how the media are rubbing this all over Chelsea's face. He signed for Utd, we get it. The amount of hype over him have gone above his quality as a player at this point

It wasn't the club who didn't want him

Yes, my friend. They are.

No. No reactions so far. Almost everyone in this world has one, but ...

 

Maybe, that's smart.

Better he says nothing at all.

He's closer with benteke isn't he?
