Adamocovic

Was looking over the Bristol squad for tomorrow, then saw Luke Steeles name. Shocked I even remember him to be honest but it reminded me of the conversation before of players you'd forget were at the club.

He probably is most notably known, sad I know, for the deal to West Brom to get the one and only Kusczhak (add his name to the list).

Anyone else remember the Irish legend who was also part of that deal? :P

Lord TSC

Atletico are reporting Barcelona to Fifa over an illegal approach for Griezmann.

How did they muck up a release clause deal :S gives us an opening, I guess...

Edit: To add, this is now confirmed by Simon stone of the BBC who adds no English clubs (I.e. Us) have been reported

Does it tho? If he wanted to go Barca that would indicate he didn't want to join us in first place in which case I don't know if it would be a good move.

Or maybe he doesn’t want to go to Barca and he informed Atleti of the illegal approach to get Barca in trouble and he is going to declare his love for United.

What?

You think there is only one club in the world a player would be happy to sign for?

Bingo!
Another player you'd easily forget was in our ranks.

Slightly off topic but I do miss the fact that now we have no Irish players in the senior squad. I know an argument would be made that with the money nowadays etcs there isn't one good enough but as a selfish Irish fan too it's disappointing.

Supporting throughout the years there must have been an incredibly long stretch of at least one Irish player in the squad. The last was probably Robbie Brady a couple of years ago now!

Chill Mitch that's not what I was saying.

I said MAYBE he wants to go Barcelona.. I'm just throwing it out there for discussion that's all.

It is a possibility he does want to go Barcelona and the reason athletic are reporting them is because they won't want to lose him to a team in their division so they will try block it similar to what Southampton did to Liverpool when they didn't want to lose vvd. In that case if he still wants to go Barcelona and not really want to join United I wouldn't be Keen on it.

But if it is a case that Barca were only trying to persuade him and he is still quiet keen on a move to United then I'd be more then happy.

Who knows right?


Edit: Ok I see where I probably worded my original post a little wrong but I didn't mean it as it was a straight out indication he wanted join Barcelona and not us even tho that's more or less what I wrote. My bad.

If it’s known to the club a while like the article states, I wonder is there anything in the Dybala links that have been surfacing recently

Rayne Wooney

I’m resigned to the fact that he will go to Barca, once they put their oar in its pretty much over.

I hope work is alreay well under way to identify attacking players to purchase in the summer. We need to buy a star, like a young Rooney or Ronaldo, obviously that is far easier said than done but the likes of Real and Barca always seem to have a conveyor belt of world class forwards. The players are out there it’s just a matter of getting in early.

We need more bang for our buck is the main issue.

Seen that earlier, i think he will end up going there as well

Never wanted Griezmann anyway. I literally cannot remember one time I expressed an interest in him coming to United in this thread, not one.



So anyway, Lingard's doing well lately, eh? Mkhi's gonna 'click' soon, just watch.

*Lingard is actually doing well. It will be interesting to see if Mkhi makes an appearance against Bristol.

Stupid Leicester...

They even make shootouts look like a doddle.

After tomorrows 2 EFL games it will most likely be a final 4 of Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea & Man Utd.

The easiest would of course be Arsenal for the semis but I hope we get one of the other two. Preferably Man City if I'm being honest despite our last performance against them. I'm sick of seeing us lose against these top sides. Our performances against these big clubs is so frustrating but I know we have the quality to turn it around.

Beating for example Chelsea in the semis and City in the final would be a serious statement and be a great boost for the squad going into the latter stages of the season

Rossi IRL

Angel Gomes won't be featuring vs Bristol as he is injured.

Real shame, hope he will play 1 or 2 young lads

Cantona's Collars

The S*n saying Jose is lining up a £90 million move for Hazard.

The Mirror going with United to move for Griezmann after Atletico falling out with Barca over the tapping up allegations.

Whatsisname

Whole host of clubs including ourselves linked with Leon Goretzka of Schalke. I know anyone can look good based of a YouTube video but there’s some impressive play in this. If he’s anyway as good as the video makes him out to be he’d be a welcome addition imo. Seems similar to Pogba in that he’s strong and can carry the ball forward, has an eye for goal too. And he’s over 6ft so Jose has to like him. :pac:

He is the epitome of a United player. Came up through the academy, loves the club, has a great personality, a little feisty, plays the game like he’s playing with his friends in the park, fearless regardless of opposition.

I think he is more like the kind of personalities of the class of 92 than any player we’ve produced since then. His slow progression has benefited him hugely in terms of not being burdened by the weight of expectation.

You can see in the likes of Rooney, maybe even a little with Rashford that they feel the pressure and have to mature before they really should.

Jesse is a great example that you shouldn’t rush a player, stay patient and you just might have a gem of a player with the right mentality in their mid twenties.

I think he’ll be a great player for the club to be honest.

Deadly serious. Welbeck was very good for us and was still developing.was an england regular, came through the united youth system and apart from his injuries has been very good for arsenal.

He would be a decent squad option I agree but he is also a strike that can’t score

He has played majority of his career in a wide position. A goal every 4 games is a good return

Zerks has been MIA for a while.

Some say that his posting of stuff that had already been posted become so self referential that it created a glitch in the universe and he is currently in a parallel vortex posting about when we signed Cantona.

Seriously, did he close his account? I tried to search and couldn't find him. Or did he change his name on boards?

Cantona's Collars

It is whispered that on a still night if you listen carefully you can hear Zerks singing Glory Glory Man United. Or was it simply a breeze amongst the branches????

Another rumour is the real reason the seagulls follow the trawler is because they believe Zerks will throw sardines into the sea.

The only problem with this whisper is you already heard some lad in the pub telling you the same thing 30 minutes before hand
