Absolutely. There's nobody in that lineup that makes you say "oh ####, we better watch out for THAT guy"
It was Ole that rejected Dybala and Bruno, not Woodward--and I commend him. He's done adding players thinking "I guess I can't play where I want but United will give me a big pay day so I guess I'll play there". Just has not worked out. He's only adding people that grew up dreaming about playing for Manchester United. With United going further down the ranks these players will be more and more difficult to find, but they've still got a fan base of over 600 million people so it shouldn't be too difficult. I'll take Lingard all day over a big name signing that fizzles out in a couple years.
Woodward and the board decided not to pay out anymore after DJ, AWB and McGuire despite needing players and also knowing some might leave (and some needed to be sold) with the euopean windows still open.Bonzai said:
Greenwood and Tuanzbee were good. AWB, James, Rojo, Mata all fine. The rest? meh.
Good statement game for NYC heading into the playoffsMLS
I now return you to regularly scheduled EPL talk.
They’re clicking now and that was without 2.5 of their preferred starting 11. I wrote this back in April, but the combo of Man City’s Euro scouts and Dome’s tactical knowledge is really entertaining.
@Sammy3469 any news on stadium locations? Willets point? Anywhere but there?
Sounds like a perfect time to talk about possible having a relegation in MLS like every other country but I doubt MLS owners will go for it. Take away the super draft too.
Ugh..and no way I'm looking at that.
There was no reason to ask him other then CA$hley not wanting to open his purse strings to keep him. He did very well reorganizing the academy and was well liked by players. CA$hley didn't want to open the purse to not only keep him on as manager but get him some better talent. Rafa wasn't asking for Messi/Ronaldo MBappe types. He wanted competent talent that could actually start. Rafa also wanted more control over transfer and player decision then NewCastle wanted to give him. CA$hley loves the control of everything and Rafa wasn't a Yes Man to him. The supporters loved Rafa for the very reasons he was anti Mike Ashley and want him to sell the club but he refuses too.
No idea why they ever decided to play there. It's so small and most MLS players complain about playing there
He has played himself into the bench- can't really blame lampard, who gave him the early opportunities and has declared him "not ready".
Also, I feel like people underestimate how long it takes players to adapt to a new league with different styles. It will take him time, but the opportunities will come.
About a year ago, there were strong reports that Bayern wanted him and that Klopp wanted to bring him to Liverpool, in addition to Chelsea's interest. Maybe those reports were wrong, or maybe those clubs backed off when Chelsea took the bidding way above what most expected. If he had any say in it, which seems likely, Chelsea is probably the best spot for him career-wise.
That was about 2-3 years ago. Journo's kept bringing it up again speculating during the last 2 or so windows. I believe at the time both Liverpool and Dortmund was too far apart in their evaluation, and the player and Liverpool were too far apart in the role and money.CletiusMaximus said:
On par with the Inter curva Nord supporter group response.
