Manchester United 2022/23 - The Reign of ETH

[carryharry]

It’s crazy the reactions so far with ETH having really only signing played and a completely new philosophy to get used to.

Lads can scream the poor example of Ronaldo but DeGea doesn’t look any better imo.

@Pirlo

Sky Sports News after announcing that Glazer’s are prepared to give up a minority stake.

They’d still have a majority stake. That doesn’t sound like it would achieve much in the short to medium term anyway as regards ousting them.

@Cheasty

The true fans went to Tehran in 2001.

The most daunting and intimidating away match Ireland have played this century anyway. I’d say Turkey away was intimidating in 1999 when Cascarino was embroiled in an argument.

Radcliffe

Ratcliffe
Sir Ratcliffe at that

@ChairmanDan

I see this Radcliffe chap was born in 1952

Is he any relation to Bob Radcliffe? A lapsed poster here won a competition in his honour before I believe.

[Pirlo]

That’s how Stan Kroenke started off getting Arsenal under Usmanov.

Give him a platform to launch a proper bid

Casemiro would be a great signing for Man Utd if it went through. I mean, compare that with Rabiot or Arnautovic.

Not a long-term thing but he is a superb ballwinning midfielder. Not as fancy a footballer as the likes of Busquets but still class in his own right and a massive, massive improvement on McTominay & Fred.

Not young, but not ancient either, surely get a couple of good seasons out of him. As far as I know, he hasn’t had any major injury problems, seems to start pretty much every big game for Real.

[peddlerscross]

I don’t think anyone would be a good signing right now to be honest.

They’ve literally tried every type of signing and every single one of them has failed. Every type of manager too.

The whole thing is doomed to be honest.

[the_man_himself]

Casemiro - Kroos - Modric was absolutely iconic. End of an era

[peddlerscross]

United could take all three and i still don’t think it’d work.

I’m hearing rumours that Kluiverts agent will meet Manchester United representatives while in London over the potential transfer of Denzel Dumfries.

As someone on the football pod pointed out today. How can United have gone from De Jong to Rabiot to Casemiro. All completely different players. Its like they are taking whatevers going rather than paying any attention to what they need

This was a great graphic last night on sky. Top level performed well, middle just about ok, bottom underperformed. It’s a phenomenal list when you see it laid out like that. Even the top 2 are very arguable.

Cristiano Ronaldo is simultaneously the best performing signing of all of that lot, and the worst signing of the lot.

The best performing because he himself has scored goals, important goals, brilliant goals.

The worst signing because he has a planet sized ego and a terrible attitude which undermines managers and the other players. Because a Manchester United team and project which was at a reasonably promising but extremely delicate stage of development under Solskjaer was torn asunder and destroyed to accommodate him.

Who was it that ultimately persuaded Ronaldo to sign for the club? It’s greatest ever manager acting as a catalyst for it’s terminal decline.

[ChairmanDan]

It’s hard to believe it was only a year ago that there was such giddy excitement amongst the Man U footix over the return of Ronaldo. @dodgy_keeper was even back supporting them, albeit very briefly before he gave up on them again when results went pear shaped.

[croppy_boy]

They’ve been linked to him all summer.

He’s into the last year of his contract with Inter as well.

[myboyblue]

You knew united were fucked when dodgy abandoned them

[Aristotle]

True, they seem to be all over the place. But I think Casemiro would improve them massively. They haven’t had a midfielder like him in years.

If PSG had signed Ronaldo Utd wouldn’t have moved. There was a concern that him signing for City would mean his legacy with Utd would be damaged somehow.

Banquo appears to want united to fail since he left
