But I think that Martinez guy is gonna struggle playing CB in the PL, he’s just too small. Got bullied by Welback the entire game and he’s gonna go up against many better strikers than him.

Cash or Czech Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 They’ve just looked uninspired and sloppy no matter who the manager is. I get they’re all a bunch of individuals who can’t play together as a team, but the lack of cohesion especially on defense is shocking for some of the names in that squad. Also why put Eriksen as a false 9 instead of start CR7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how closely you’ve been following United, but Ronaldo had publicly made it clear he doesn’t want to be there. He also left a preseason game early ( he wasn’t the only one) which didn’t sit well at all with management. I’m not even sure why he is even allowed to be with the club without apologizing to the club. Also, I still to this day do not understand why Harry Maguire is thr captain. Are they afraid stripping the captaincy will make his play worse? Is that even possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they invested so much money in him plus the "England Tax" and all that, why not start Varane and Martinez? Team selection has to be a huge question, Ronaldo or not. You start both Fernandes and Eriksen? Rashford on the left is fine, but Elanga played well last season. Fred is god awful and Van De Beek has been waiting for a chance for so long, and is now under his former manager. It just seems like no matter who the manager is, maybe someone else supersedes decisions? I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to support ManU right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to support ManU right now It's one game so I'm not ready to panic yet. There isn't anyone else making lineup decisions. They just replaced their sporting director so Woodward is gone. It's going to take some time for Ten Hag to get to know his players. I agree with you about Fred but Van Der Beek just doesn't have the defensive work rate either to control anything. MaGuire need to go bye bye. I don't care how much they've invested. He's just not good enough at all. He doesn't work hard enough, isn't skilled enough, and doesn't lead a damn thing lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like 25-30m so thats 50-60% of what we gave for him, I consider that good business. He was decent during our CL run so I’m not gonna hate on him, but it just didnt work.

Good for him to go back home. I'm truly jealous of the fees you get for a lot of your players. We're giving Torreira away for 7mil euros because he's a prick, sold Leno to Fulham for 3mil pounds, cancelling Bellerin's contract so he can leave on a free. Last season you guys made more in sales than what you spent on Lukaku. It didn't work out and this year you've got a big spending deficit, but this will help balance the books somewhat. I know you lost Rudiger and Christensen for free, but a lot of the time you guys just make good on those sales that Arsenal just can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you lost Rudiger and Christensen for free, but a lot of the time you guys just make good on those sales that Arsenal just can't. It's been huge for us. As you said, last season we made more than £100m on selling players like Tomori, Abraham, Zouma etc. It's been something the club has been working towards the last few years of Roman/Marina. They knew that the club needed to be economically sustainable somehow and that it couldn't live on Roman's pocket forever. Mainly they prioritized the academy and made it into one of the best in the world (During the last 3-4 years we've sold players like Tomori, Abraham, Aina, Guehi, Livramento, Tariq Lamptey and we have James, Mount, Gilmour, Gallagher, Broja in the squad), but they also implemented new transfer and signing criterias. We rarely bought players older than 28 and was mostly looking for U23 players with potential resale value (Oscar, Willian, Hazard De Bruyne, Schurrle, Salah to name a few). Not all went according to plan, but the strategy worked for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an aside, I don't know how Tromsø has a team. I know Norwegian pro sports isn't exactly swimming in cash, but surely athletes don't want to live in a cold, dark, frozen village 4 months of the year.

I’ve never been there, but it’s a beautiful place and norwegians are used to cold weather. The money is not very good, decent players got a little over average income, while the worst players and young players in the league can often have a below average income. The best players earn around $500-750k. So most of the Tromsø players probably dont have any better options financially and I think most of them like to live there. The season is also played from March-Nov so you can get away before it gets really cold lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
