Yeah, Wolves are the 23rd. Europa final is the 26th.

Looking at the calendar it seems to only fit into the weekend of the 16th. Or else after the Europa...

Edit:'pool plays on the 16th so that's out

Cavani extends his deal. Sick. Dude is so class. His header and the preceding movement yesterday was just lovely. Hope we still sign another CF though, he can't lead the line game in and game out.

He is sheer class. A great pickup. Such a clever player.

He's one of the most intelligent forwards I've seen. His finishing is first rate, but his movement, passing ability and pressing are what make him special.

I tune into United games just to see him play.

Crazy watching him play. That's exactly what we need. Just a class finisher with good movement around the box and linkup ability. Well that's what we had in Giroud before his legs turned to anvils.

Signing Sancho is official.
Lots of smoke around Varane, but it's Man U so nothing is true until the club announces it.
Would love to get Camavinga or that german CDM... Goretzka? If so, could we drop either of those dudes in front of the back 4 and be good? I guess in combo w/Varane we should theoretically be ok.
No more 2 CDMs Ole!

Ole playing attacking football?
Keep on dreaming.

Man U have announced an agreement for Varane. Holy smokes, this year is looking good.

So if Manu don't win the league or the CL should Olé be gone?

Heh, he just signed a 3-year extension.

But really, no and no. We're still trending upwards... w/continual failures in finals

I like a fan who defends his team. Even when he's wrong ;-)

I think Ole is pretty meh. The best thing he has is that he gets Man U. Other than that, meh. But I think it's too soon for those types of win or die ultimatums. Because I don't see not winning the EPL or even harder, the CL, as things we should have in the bag. City is **** good man. Even those foxes are damn good.

Varane officially announced.

Post #634 » by **Shaazzam** » Mon Aug 23, 2021 2:31 pm

So Martial had his shot to lead the line and was useless. We obviously don't use him right or hes meh, or both. So he needs to go. With no Cavani, start Sancho and play Greenwood in the middle.

Matic and Fred is not doable. We still need CM or CDM help. Leiscter (I never spell this right lol) might run rampant on us next game.

Not a fan of Manure by a mile, but I gotta say it's cool that Ronaldo resigned with you guys, instead of with city. Seems like a guy who won titles here back in the day prob shouldn't be wearing MC uniform.

I know there is almost no loyalty or any sense of honor (prob not the best word, but you get idea) these days, from players or teams. But Ronaldo going to MC seemed extra wrong. Like when Owen signed with you guys....man what a ho-bag he turned out to be. His name is forever scorched for Liverpool. F- him.

Anyhow...good on you guys for snagging him. Hope he does well (not too well)

Quite the debut. Let's keep it going lads.

Sancho has done sweet FA so far, not good. Not sure if the stats say any different, but to me he's been meh.
Martial finally had some movement on the weekend when he made (did?) the dummy for Lingard's goal, which was lovely btw. If he starts to hustle, that would do him and the team some good.

Greenwood is a **** killer man, and I think we can expect to see more Shaw to Ronaldo on the counter gloriousness this year. Like holy crap the way Ronaldo sweetly played the ball from his right to left foot while going like a bat out hell was great. Really nice pass by Pogba to get the move going too.

But Matic and Pogba is not going to get it done man against the good teams, we need a crusher back there. Hell, even a dude like Carrick was would be great. Fred is just eek. And McTominay isn't that guy either, he needs to be up the pitch scoring goals.

De Gea with a monster save and Lingard with a brilliant goal. Big recovery from his appearance at Young Boys.

I was watching the game on Dazn and the analyst guy was saying he didn't think the pen against Shaw should be a pen. I dunno if he was just lamenting that Ronaldo did get his last shout for one, but c'mon man. Easy pen against Shaw. Massive save from De Gea. And stupid Moyes put poor Noble on to only take it. What a dumbass.
