    Man City Discussion 2022/23

    Nonsense as usual. Liverpool don't walk the title. Not even close to it and Gaurdiola knows a hell of a lot more about football than you. Maybe you just can't grasp what you don't understand in his game.

    Frenkie de Jong

    Surely the plan B is just the easy signing of Tielemans which would take no time to get over the line. He's only got a year left on his contract. So we can wait this one out and head in their last minute.

    100%. Hence my brackets. I do think the truth probably lays in the middle of both of us though.

    Ronaldo Has Left - He's gone and it's the past.

    You realise currently you're talking to a troll. It's one troll talking to another (not deliberate troll) he announced himself a while back when he said why would they sign for you and not us.

    Ronaldo Has Left - He's gone and it's the past.

    Perhaps people will realise like I've said all along its media nonsense. United tried to squash is a while back when they said he's part of the squad and has been given time off for personal reasons.

    I couldn't care where Sancho plays but we paid £90m to play him down the right.

    Manchester United sign Lisandro Martinez

    Everyone knows I'm team Maguire when it comes to that debate Lindelofs ball from right to left inside the opposition's right full back is a thing of beauty. He's every bit as good as Maguire with the ball at his feet. I don't know anywhere near enough about Lisandro Martinez but I would be...

    Antony

    The season before last he wasn't bad. He was playing injured and dragging this United side along. He made the world cup squad despite of his injury.

    Frenkie de Jong

    Isn't that every fan of every club? Tell an Everton fan how awful they are and they'll give you reason for optimism.

    Antony

    He's had one bad season.
  13. IDFD

    Antony

    That last sentence perfectly sums up Antony. Rashford has better end product.
  14. IDFD

    Antony

    We are talking about a player whose got 17 goals in 55 games in the Dutch league. You cannot tell me an in form and fit Rashford doesn't destroy that.
  15. IDFD

    Antony

    Firstly they play different positions. Secondly you'd be hard pressed to show his best is better than Rashfords best.
  16. IDFD

    Antony

    Yes. How many times you watched him?
  17. IDFD

    Antony

    Not sure I get that. Because they're aren't going to spend £70m on a player that doesn't improve our starting 11 after spending £90m on a player to play in his position last summer.
  18. IDFD

    Antony

    Antony was never a top target. Sancho was always going to end up going back to the right and Rashford to the left. Was shocked to see we were being linked for him at that price considering he doesn't improve our starting 11.

    Ronaldo Has Left - He's gone and it's the past.

    There is talk we are in for Sesko. Never seen him play before but he's the only young striker in FM that starts off with a fixed rating better than Haaland.

    Ronaldo Has Left - He's gone and it's the past.

    Frenkie de Jong

    I don't believe it matters what money they raise now for their salary cap this season. The money is based on last season's revenue which runs July 1st to June 30th. So the salaries have to comply with the limit already set so they can't register all of their new players without reducing their...

    Frenkie de Jong

    Yeah the article on the Athletic says he hasn't received wages currently owed. That's what I based my post above on.
  24. IDFD

    Frenkie de Jong

    He's owed £17m in wages he hasn't been paid. Regardless of what further money he wants. They haven't paid him money they do owe him. They need to settle on a number between £17m which they owe him and £34m that he thinks he's owed.

    I wouldn't say they're good pals. He interviewed him once and clings on to that like they're best buddies. Ronaldo never replied the the million things Piers tags him in. Piers does it with big celebs it's why he got so a bee in his bonnet about Megan because he convinced himself they'd...

    Manchester United sign Lisandro Martinez

    Yeah the commentator must also be a WUM. 'Lindelofs failed interception leads to the goal'. Clearly though there was absolutely no need to start a random drive by attack on Maguire in the Martinez thread and someone is going to mention it wasn't him at fault when that happens.
  39. IDFD

    Manchester United sign Lisandro Martinez

    Yep. Indeed trying to pin the blame for a goal on Maguire that wasn't his fault. Business as usual. Let's hope Martinez does become another the fans just want blood from.

    Manchester United sign Lisandro Martinez

    The goal Lindelof was clearly at fault for?
  41. IDFD

    Manchester United sign Lisandro Martinez

    Can't see ETH going 5 at the back. He'll want to be getting Rashford Sancho Bruno and Ronaldo in the side. We know that Varane will miss plenty of matches through injury so there's loads of minutes.
  42. IDFD

    Manchester United sign Lisandro Martinez

    Maguire starts. He wouldn't have remained club captain if he wasn't starting. I think the guy comes in as back up for this season or comes in as DM.
  43. IDFD

    Liverpool Discussion 2022/23

    No worries. I can see Liverpool taking a step back this year. Losing Mane is massive for them. Dias was good but not as good as people are making out and him and Salah appeared to have some issues. I think City walk it by about 10+ points this year.
  44. IDFD

    Zidane Iqbal

    Seems to be a lot of hype around this guy since ETH has come in. I expected Hanibal/Garner to be the most likely to make the jump to our first team next but has he overtaken them on the list?

    It's been stated it's because he needs to do a more extensive medical because of his heart condition. Good idea to do our due diligence on a guy who we are handing a 3 yr contract totalling £30m whose recently had a heart attack and died on the pitch.
  48. IDFD

    Lisandro Martínez

    How's that effect Maguire? Maguire prefers to play RCB. The only issue for him is that he's the best we've got a LCB.

    They're very usual contracts in leagues that have a salary cap.

    I assume because of his height. I read today that the Torres deal was all agreed and ETH just needed to green light it and veto'd it for this guy.
  51. IDFD

    Frenkie de Jong

    I think it happens still. They'll tell him they won't register him and he won't be playing. But the more this drags on the more the transfer fee comes down. We know they can't register him or that they can't register other signings. Remember last season they were never going to lose Messi...

    Ahh yes the England manager thinks 'Oh I know i've got better options but I'll play a worst player because y'know gotta be loyal'.

    Ten Hag confirms Harry Maguire to continue as captain

    But it's not just my opinion. The England manager plays him over those I mentioned. Pep wanted him for £75m. Ragnick continued to play him. ETH has decided he'll be captain and first name on the team sheet after watching him for a week. At some point you must realise these are people who are...

    There isn't a team in the league he doesn't start for. You could argue City but Pep loves him. Look at Peps interviews on Maguire. Chelsea he thrives. Spurs. Eric Dier ffs. Arsenal? Rob Holding. Liverpool Joe Gomes. Note they're all English and he starts Infront of them for England.

    He really isn't a decent option. I can only assume you haven't watched him play before. There is a reason Barca are happy to get rid of him with no fee. Who would you rate him alongside in the league? He'd be our 6th choice CB. United would be slated for making such an awful signing.

    Probably wrote Rooney off after 2010/11 tbf and wrote Hernandez off before he kicked a ball. I'd be very surprised if Rashford doesn't return of his best. People want to hate because it's a fun thing to do to put United down. But I don't get it from those wanting to make out they're United...

    2021/22 End of Season Review ~ Bruno Fernandes

    He's renowned for being the worst reporter on United and creating clickbait. If Romano had said it or skysports had an article on it that didn't quote Castles I could understand. I make it 4/6 Ronaldo calls out the media tomorrow and 6/4 Castle got a dart right.

    De Jong isn't a DM midfielder. He needs a specialist DM to play alongside him too. Or at least another CM that is defensively minded. He doesn't win the ball back with challenges. Think of a Pirlo than can dribble rather than a Gattuso.
