The biggest improvement you guys can make is replacing OGS with a competent Manager (Poch Maybe?)

I think finishing 3rd has masked a number of tactical deficiencies that OGS has showcased throughout the season. He finished on 66 points which is the same points total as last season which got you guys 6th but luckily this time it was sufficient enough to get a CL spot. No points difference yet United spent 193m including the Fernandes fee, I would say United have majorly disappointed this season and questions need to be asked of OGS.

I have heard the argument of hypocrisy being thrown towards Chelsea fans how we believe OGS is a terrible Manager in comparison to Lampard, but we finished with the same points total after losing Hazard (Contribution towards 49% of our goals last season), Lampard didnt have the luxury of bringing anyone in and we also suffered long term injuries to Kante and RLC. In addition people still put OGS in the same conversation as Lampard and Arteta even though he has been in Management for best part of a decade, he should not even be being compared to the other 2 especially from a tactical standpoint considering the Management experience he has behind him.

I hope you guys keep him on as the longer he is there the less likely you are to seriously mount a title challenge.

 

I wanna give him at least another season before I make up my mind about Ole. I wanna see what next season can bring if he gets the players he want that will suit his tactical approach. 

We didn't try to play our way up from defense like we've been doing lately. So he might go for some central defender that's comfortable with the ball and knows how to pass. Kind of the opposite to Smalldini which I hope gets toenjoy his final years in Italy. 

Yeah you guys didn't get to buy any players, but imo had a stronger team to begin with. And regarding injuries, we had Rashford and Poobag out of the team for quite some time. Prior to Fernandes and Greenwood breaking through that made us a whole lot weaker. 

66 points is laughable, no question about it. But as you say, luckily enough to get us into next seasons CL.

I wouldn't believe anything written in that rag after it was revealed they doctored the last emails they published. That reads more like then trying to save face... "OK, so you caught us, but we have this evidence we forgot to show you..."

When/ where was that revealed? I know City hinted they might have edited some emails, but when the CAS asked for the originals to prove it, City refused to provide them.

https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2019/01/07/worse-than-omsk-new-book-why-abramovich-bought-chelsea-instead-of-tottenham-a64056

Before making the purchase, Abramovich entertained investing in Chelsea’s London-rival Tottenham Hotspur, a new book on the origin story of the English Premier League says. The deal-breaker was reportedly a ride down the streets of the Tottenham district of London.

“While his Mercedes trundled along Tottenham High Road, he looked out and said in Russian, ‘This is worse than Omsk,’” reads an excerpt published by The Sun tabloid on Sunday.

 

Brilliant.

Looks like Man Utd now favourites to sign Sancho for around £90-£100M. Think like us, they need to strengthen in other areas before spunking more money on another pacey attacker!

If we are to believe that there can't be smoke without fire and that Romano is reliable, he's ours really soon. We've got quite ok attacking players with Bruno, Martial, Rashford and Greenwood. But if we are to rotate or get injuries the replacements are so bad it's laughable.

Pereira - Crap

Lingardinho - Do I need to explain?

Mata - Ain't getting younger

Chong - Unproven

James - Fast, but what else does he bring to the table? 

Ighalo - Soon to return to China

Read some rumours linking us to Badiashile and Gabriel. Young left footed central defenders that look comfortable with the ball and can pass it. That would be a nice addition. 

Besides that I haven't heard anything I think makes sense. Some DM that can rotate with Matic would be great, but haven't seen any names mentioned with us. But I like what I'm seeing so far.

I bet united fans are happy to be signing  Sancho over Grealish. Grealish is decent player but not for the money you’d have to pay. Get Sancho and United’s frontline looks very dangerous. 
 

Still surprising that Martial is holding down that striker position. He looked on his way out a few months ago didn’t he? Reckon he’ll be good enough to be number 1 all season?

Their local rivals are now afraid so they are pointing fingers all over the place...

Shame to see Sancho going to them given he was a boyhood Chelsea fan. I imagine they'll be offering him a sizeable portion of Alexis Sanchez's wages.

That said we've gone in a different direction with our signings and I'm very comfortable with getting Ziyech and Werner for a comparable price. Spreads our risk a bit which isn't a bad thing. Now we just need a decent keeper and a decent defence!

At least United earn their money and don't get ahead by virtue of FFP technicalities.

Lingard is still a young player, you got to give him time, lots of potential.

No, they just get loads of debt loaded on them instead, thats much better than an owner putting their money in eh....

Great signing for them, Sancho is their next CR7.

I`m still a bit wary of Sancho, he`s obviously a hell of a player but there are question marks over his attitude.

Oh look that debt situation is a disaster waiting to happen but at least they are playing by the FFP rules instead of disguising a company linked to the owners as sponsorship.

City get to lecture noone in regards to that sort of thing.
