Just want to thank Ed002 and all the other Ed's for another window full of information and updates. I know you get asked repeated questions over and over by fans desperate to get blow by blow updates. We really do appreciate the time spent and knowledge shared each window.
Hope you get a well earned rest before the first post asking for lists for January start showing up!
{Ed002's Note - Thanks. We appreciate it.}
1.) 01 Sep 2022 23:23:04
Never a truer word spoken DB.
Thank you ed002 and the entire editing team. Top stuff. Some dodgy opinions but lots of good banter. ?.
{Ed002's Note - Everyone has done well on the MU pages. Club is doing OK.}
2.) 01 Sep 2022 23:32:00
Ed002 if i am ever in Cornwall dinner and drinks on me, you pick the venue :) and if you ever get to Dubai same goes. thank you. we did okay I agree. Long way to go.
{Ed002's Note - I am not allowed to visit Dubai, but thanks.}
3.) 02 Sep 2022 00:08:47
Too works Eds, top site, love it.
Decent work by Utd too all in all. New manager and 6 good new signings.
{Ed002's Note - Thanks Eric.}
4.) 02 Sep 2022 06:21:55
Thanks EDs.
Thankyou all for the time and effort you put into all of the sites.
{Ed002's Note - Thanks, you are welcome.}
5.) 02 Sep 2022 08:37:52
Yeah, a big well done and thank you to all the Ed's who give up their time to run this site and divulge excellent information.
Thank you all.
{Ed002's Note - Thanks, you are welcome.}
6.) 02 Sep 2022 10:45:27
A huge thanks to all the eds. Some amount of work to edit all the pages.
This place is like a little cosy home on my phone.
{Ed002's Note - Thanks, you are welcome.}
7.) 02 Sep 2022 12:37:45
I agree that ypu very much to all the Eds for their uodates and work to keep the site alive.
A specoal thanks for Ed14 for his constant championing of the brilliant way United are run and support for all their well thought out and planned moves.
{Ed014's Note - thank you mate and I’m sure they’ll get it right one day!
8.) 02 Sep 2022 15:16:47
Echo that. Thanks for all the input eds ?.
9.) 02 Sep 2022 16:23:08
Ed002 - thanks so much for all your time during the window. First class, accurate info as always. Really appreciate your bright insight amongst what is often a dark cloud of uncertainty and confusion.
10.) 02 Sep 2022 21:06:44
Couldn’t agree more thanks to all involved, really look forward to scanning this site daily fantastic feedback back constantly, all the years I’ve been on here I trust nothing without you lot confirming.
11.) 04 Sep 2022 19:46:26
So, Ed002. January. what's happening? ?.
21 Mar 2020 22:26:27
Rumours of Auba to Utd. No idea if this is now just crazy time due to lack of content. But I have to say, that would be an excellent signing for us. Last year with Arsenal, so they may be tempted to cash in. Almost has the feels of an RVP but he's not quite so deep into his career.
He would be an upgrade on Martial as a 9. Scores goals for fun. What do you all think, would you take him?
1.) 22 Mar 2020 10:38:16
Rumours started last summer when Andy Goldstein from talksport said he was told Utd were in for him so maybe there is something in it who knows. Good player though wish he wasnt as old as he is.
2.) 22 Mar 2020 10:54:42
I think we're done buying older players on high wages. He's a fantastic player but you'd imagine he'd demand Sanchez type salary. Just doesn't seem to go along with Solskjaer's plan.
3.) 22 Mar 2020 12:02:02
I'd prefer lacazette to be honest. Although he's seemed a bit off this season.
4.) 23 Mar 2020 11:10:01
I would rather save the money and buy ighalo and spend the big money on right wing, cm, pogba replacement and pacey centre back.
5.) 23 Mar 2020 12:03:35
Thanks for replies guys. I think that Auba allows us to play how we have been playing, direct and very dangerous on the break, but hs also makes runs in the 6 yard area like a striker. He can score headers with more consistency. Depending on fee he could be interesting. Not for silly money either in transfer or wages.
6.) 26 Mar 2020 16:05:39
who is Auba?

Just for fun, I would like to explore the mystery of who was Genrmansuppclub.
Perhaps if we throw out enough old names GSC can confirm if we have mentioned him in the thread.
So I'll start a list, both rogues and favs, please add any old favourites anyone thinks might be relevant:
(Of course GSC can simply laugh and remain anonymous, this is not intended to be a witch hunt, rather a trip down memory lane)
Maze
JRed
Gang (Ngiak) the penguin
The Moon
The Beast
RAINFISHTROMBONE
Sydney
No midfield!
Wazza
Come on, I am forgetting some legends here (apologies to those I named who still lurk! )
1.) 03 May 2025 02:58:40
You forgot IAMKLOOT.
2.) 03 May 2025 05:46:40
Oh yeah such fun! And it’s seems to have got column inches so maybe even I’m
GDS … that’s why he loves me such much I’m in love with myself
Shappy just to allow me to print essays on what I initially start
Tumble, been Ken, been Shappy so why can’t I be Tumble
Dodgy…yeah start post to talk about my self
The list can go on, but maybe just maybe your not a very good detective and are paranoid, maybe I am just a person in a much better position to judge then most and I am just German…. who would have thought it! But least I intrigued you and any replies…. Which is a bit sad but C’est La Vie….
3.) 03 May 2025 05:51:38
Hmm, it's not jred, he still posts occasionally and its the wrong style.
Not Ngiak, who was odd but polite.
Not Nomidfield, who lives down the road from me apparently, but I've never met him.
I'm guessing Maze, who has had about 6 different names.
4.) 03 May 2025 08:33:27
Brum boi?
5.) 03 May 2025 10:07:44
I was thinking Brum Boi too, Romanian maverick? I find Tim_99 frequents the match posts with very negative comments. Could even be all the same. I'm thinking at least 2 are.
6.) 03 May 2025 10:14:43
AJH nail on the head.
7.) 03 May 2025 11:17:51
Loĺlll its ronnieee.
8.) 03 May 2025 11:34:47
6 of them mentioned are the same person so he is the vast majority of them. German regularly posts knowing what opinions people had years ago and also regularly says he “told you all that so and so isn’t good enough when we signed him” despite not even having a profile then, so pretty obviously Maze, Romanian Maverick etc for me.
9.) 03 May 2025 13:29:04
Not wazza anyhow he was an eth fan boy. Stopped posting just before eth was fired for his own reasons.
It's irrelevant really who the tool is if you are so ashamed to say who you are that speaks volumes. Claims to have had conversations with me before germansuppclub was a user. I've asked what his name was at the time and he or she refuses to say which is his or her perogative.
He could be a fan of another team that trolls for fun. If that's how he/ she gets her amusement good for him/ her.
10.) 03 May 2025 15:31:00
I’m 99% convinced that everyone on here is Shappy. Me included.
11.) 03 May 2025 16:08:12
I think Germansuppclub posts are OK. Their posts offer an opinion and that's what this site is all about.
They don't come over as a troll to me.
I think there is a tendency on this site to try and keep it as a cosy club. Anyone who seems a bit against the grain can be singled out for negative attention; case in point right here!
What's the problem? Why does Dodgeybanter feel the need to start this post? Why does GDS2 keep asking about Genrmansuppclub?
Who are you two anyway?
12.) 03 May 2025 17:06:12
I think most posts are good mancman
Whether I agree with them or not. Everybody has their opinions and write them as they see fit.
I couldn't give a toss about who people are or what they do. Must are genuine people who come on to rant or communicate their opinions.
Posts are often read in a tone their are not written in. There are a few who are very easy to wind up?. I've met quite a few of the posters and all are good heads. There are a few who I'd never want to meet.
If German wants to refer to conversations he has had before german existed why not just say what his user name was at the time? But we all have our own odd traits so if that's his so be it.
13.) 03 May 2025 17:10:47
In fairness now MancMan I’ve been here for over a decade and GDS and Dodgy are long term posters.
German sounds suspiciously similar to someone who intermittently returns here with different usernames and pretends they’re not who they obviously are.
14.) 03 May 2025 17:39:26
I agree with you Ken.
Also, Danny - you're completely right. I'm just pointing out that I don't think it's right for Dodgy and GDS to be singling out Germansuppclub for special attention. Ironically, it makes them the trolls.
What I was trying to say (probably poorly), is that it's just as illegitimate to question them as to who they think they are, as it is to question Germansuppclub (who I don't think is MAZE) .
Dodgey; thanks for reminding me of 'The Beast'. Probably one of my all time posters on this site.
{Ed007's Note - But what's the point of bringing up previous conversations you've had with a poster if you won't tell them who you are/were? That's trolling for me and just comes across as smug attention seeking & a bit creepy, if you don't have the balls to admit to previous log-ins then probably best that you keep those past conversations out of the present ones.}
15.) 03 May 2025 18:11:45
Does it matter who German is or was? We are nearly all anonymous, hidden behind names. Some have come back after bans. I won’t lose any sleep if German is Maze or anyone else, it’s an opinion that someone holds, whatever name they hide behind. If it is an opinion some don’t agree with well we all have different ones, hell I should know given the vitriol I have had sometimes. Unless German steps over the mark, or was banned for something that means they shouldn’t come back, in which the Ed’s will deal with it, then let it ride.
{Ed007's Note - It matters when he keeps bring up conversations he's supposedly had with people with no proof of them ever happening, it matters because of the smug undertone of his posts about other posters again about posts/topics/conversation that he's made up in his head, there's no proof of him ever being right about anything.
In future any his past life posts will just be deleted if I come across them, if he doesn't have the balls to admit who he was then nobody cares about anything that's happened with him or what he's said/read in the past, it's probably all made up anyway.}
16.) 03 May 2025 18:12:20
Well said Bond.
{Ed007's Note - ????
17.) 03 May 2025 18:16:17
Manc Man,
Ed007 explained it better than I can but you asked why I keep asking who he is and he’s hit the nail on the head. He keeps saying “I tried telling you that you were all wrong” but that’s supposedly before he had an account so must be a previous poster. If so then just say who, otherwise you’re saying ‘I told you so’ which is really smug and odd without any back up.
The only reason he wouldn’t say who he was previously is if that person was banned from the site which Maze, Romanian Maverick etc etc were, and that was the person / troll that used to only post negativity and call out Shappy constantly.
18.) 03 May 2025 18:46:00
Hi Ed07
i agree with you and leave you to police it and him/ her. I just wouldn’t have given him the pleasure of a whole trail so he thinks he is important.
{Ed007's Note - ????
19.) 03 May 2025 19:08:38
How can anyone have proof that what is no more than an opinion is right or wrong…that makes zero sense.
In case you did not know there is not a Right or wrong in an opinion! So that’s a very flawed or immature argument….
{Ed007's Note - You can have proof of what has been said, especially when you use phrases like "I told you so years ago..." or "you said to me..."
Prove it then or it just looks like you're trolling & making stuff up, it's not THAT difficult to understand, if you want to bring up conversations you say you've had it's only common decency to let the other person know who they are talking to from the past, it's called good manners.
What do you do in your spare time, spy on folk then anonymously phone them up to tell them what they done that day?}
20.) 03 May 2025 20:26:27
Nobody, and I repeat nobody has ever stopped anyone from having an opinion, it would be mad to come on a forum and stop people speaking their mind, it’s literally what this place is for. I prefer balanced opinions rather than just slagging all of the players at all times but if that’s how you feel your kicks then it’s not for anyone else to question.
As Bond has said when you keep telling us you were right years ago when you told us it’s just weird if you don’t back that up. Once again, your prerogative but don’t get all offended and defensive when people call it out.
21.) 03 May 2025 20:35:18
You're not wrong Bond/ GDS, but people come in many different flavours. What some find weird is no big deal for someone else.
I agree it's a bit rude for GermanSuppclub not to explain their previous identity but I don't think it warrants the constant inquiry.
No reason they can't be part of the family. The eccentric cousin or something?
{Ed007's Note - I don't think I've ever actually fell out with anyone on here - which is a bit strange in itself lol - it's not THAT big a deal who he was, even Ed002 isn't here to hold any kind of grudge ?? but he can't keep bringing it up like some kind of Ted Rodgers 3-2-1 clue (one of the older folk there).
I have a massive headed ginger step-cousin that supports Rangers, we could just treat him like that I suppose ? someone to throw wee sausage rolls at at funerals...
22.) 03 May 2025 21:00:10
German, this isn’t about ‘opinion’. ?.
23.) 03 May 2025 21:04:27
I started the post as an excuse to remember some of the old names of people here. A bit of fun. Not so fussed who German was really, and generally happy to see contradicting views in here. Only time the page gets boring is when noone is posting or everyone agrees! Luckily that doesn't happen so often.
Peace and love to posters old and new. ✌.
24.) 03 May 2025 22:02:30
German sounds like my wife, remembering conversations from years ago in minute detail.
25.) 03 May 2025 22:12:27
When she didn’t exist Grim?
26.) 03 May 2025 22:23:17
I love it when German and Brum boi start arguing with each other. That must take some serious organisation and quick fingers.
27.) 04 May 2025 00:17:50
I like to think that Shappy is Statmandave….
28.) 04 May 2025 05:40:35
Not a chance in hell I can be brim boi, I don’t understand halve the words he uses, totally different generations, I wish not but that’s the reality.
Sherlocks none of you are, that’s for sure.
29.) 04 May 2025 12:44:50
“Sherlocks none of you are, that’s for sure. ”
Yoda you might be, I think.
30.) 04 May 2025 13:09:07
Im definitely not the German fella what's wrong with him anyway he's entitled to an opinion and tbf least his posts are a bit different from the usual happy clapping 1s and they ain't overlong i quite like a lot of points but don't ever accused me of been German i'm as English as they come.
31.) 04 May 2025 15:03:49
Brum,
I wouldn’t worry, it’s not the nationality that’s the issue, he isn’t German either, unless he’s half Romanian. No surprise you like his post though.
32.) 04 May 2025 15:12:44
English as they come?
Would that be descended from the Normans from France?
The vikings from Scandinavia?
Or you proper English, as in the Anglo-Saxons from Germany?
33.) 04 May 2025 15:52:25
Nope danny just English and proud why would i be a Norman from 1066?
34.) 04 May 2025 16:18:01
Danny don’t you lost them all after the first line!
35.) 04 May 2025 18:18:28
I am Batman.
36.) 05 May 2025 11:10:08
German, what utter nonsense. Of course an opinion can be right or wrong.
If my opinion was that the sky is green and the grass is purple then that opinion is factually wrong, and I'd expect to be called out on it.
Any opinion is only as valid as the evidence supporting it. People have a right to hold an opinion that has little to no validity, but that opinion isn't factually correct and they should be called out on that and given the opportunity to learn why that opinion doesn't hold any weight.
We cannot live in a society where everyone's opinion is equally valid, if we did then how would could we police it?
What happens when someone's opinion is that murdering someone whose upset them is acceptable?
Or when someone argues that they're racist opinion is as valid as anyone else's opinion and that they should be allowed to display racist behaviour?
Maybe it's my opinion that Manchester United won the treble this year? Does that mean that I should be able to see the trophies on the stadium tour?
Utterly nonsensical to claim that opinions cannot be proven to be right or wrong.
37.) 05 May 2025 16:54:24
Your talking with fork tongue Shappy, so we jumped from having an opinion about the quality of a team or player, to then comparing with Grass (you clearly been smoking too much of that) then you start comparing it to murder, the mind boggles god help your students if that’s how you teach!
So I repeat for you, my opinion on Shaw for instance is he is not good enough, your opinion on Shaw is he is world class, no one is right or wrong it’s an individuals opinion, not a factual statement that grass is green. btw I’m more correct about Shaw then you are that’s for sure! But that’s another story.
Plus maybe not such a bright idea to trivialise Murder!
38.) 05 May 2025 18:58:18
German, as you seem to be unable to follow logic I'll break it down for you.
This is a quote from you:
"In case you did not know there is not a Right or wrong in an opinion! ".
But that's bolloxs, as quite obviously as I highlighted there are opinions that are provably wrong.
You then tried to make light of my reply and take it off topic as well as stating some misinformation as fact, a typical Donald Trump response.
Either you're a troll or a complete numbskull unable to comprehend the many logical and well crafted replies from multiple individuals opposing what you are talking about.
It's a coin toss on which, and to be frank neither reflects well on you.
39.) 05 May 2025 19:30:17
Yeh, no, Luke Shaw isn’t and never has been and never will be world class.
40.) 05 May 2025 23:30:23
I think GSC is Supersub from circa 2020 to 2022.
41.) 05 May 2025 23:42:02
Sorry that was spelt Supasub back in the day, but also talks a lot like Mumbles, Cantonas Seagull friend and a little like bolger2.
Also maybe Manc Man? (Origi al with gap in words) I only returned recently as it got a bit toxic on here for me, so. Ot sure if he's still been posting.
01 May 2025 23:27:55
Are you not entertained? Football eh, supporting man utd feels a little like a roller coaster, maybe we should join a european league? (Joke)
1.) 02 May 2025 06:15:15
After watching Yamal’s performance on Wednesday, Maguire turned to the lads and said hold my beer.
2.) 02 May 2025 06:42:55
Massive well done to them for that win, nobody see that coming, you have to give credit where it’s due, should really have had more, as we know the 2nd leg won’t be all plain sailing that’s for sure and will be a tense affair as per usual with united, but should progress now, although not many would still bet there life on it….
3.) 02 May 2025 08:43:57
Definitely rode our luck for the first 20 mins but the red card crumbles them and we could have had half a dozen. I’d have been happy to avoid defeat away from home but now we have to be heavy favourites.
31 Dec 2024 22:45:18
Happy New Year to all the Ed's and posters, hopefully 2025 bring you all joy, happiness and good health.
I'll be raising a chicken wing to Ed002 tonight, who brought cutting slap downs and incredible insights, in equal measure! RIP fine sir.
{Ed001's Note - HNY Dodgy, all the best for 2025.}
1.) 01 Jan 2025 01:17:10
Happy New Year all!
Utd might be struggling but this a fantastic community where we can all come together and vent our frustrations. We might not always agree but let’s stick together and as they say hated, adored, never ignored!
All the best everyone and of course a special thanks to all the Ed’s as always!
We’ll be back, keep the faith!
16 Nov 2024 06:55:17
Condolances to all ed002's family and friends. The OG legend of the site.
Ed002 was funny, abrasive, cutting and his sharkopods and quips about his dog (Sharky? ) were the stuff of legend.
We all craved the knowledge in his head, but he teased us by giving us a little but never quite enough. RIP sir.
10 Aug 2024 14:16:17
De ligt done, masraoi all agreed pending wan bissska completion. Finally some good news. We needed this to get the defensive line playing higher up the pitch and more on the front foot. Very happy with those two!
1.) 10 Aug 2024 14:31:56
Really excited by the fb. Think he will be in 1st 11 quickly and that can make a real difference. Mdl is better than maguire lindelof and yoro so good to have a cb in that is better than what we have.
2.) 10 Aug 2024 15:03:05
De ligt could be signing of the summer. Not a lot of money for a quality player who is still young for someone so experienced.
3.) 10 Aug 2024 18:01:46
Indeed dodgy, great signing ?.
4.) 10 Aug 2024 18:27:20
Excellent signings and looks like we have sorted out our back 4 finally and we will reap the results later in the season.
5.) 10 Aug 2024 22:26:37
Do we think Mazraoui is a starter for left back?
24 Mar 2025 21:41:40
Maybe an e-sports team will sign him to play fifa from his sofa?
06 Feb 2025 04:44:09
Spin spin spin let's see when he next plays more than 70 mins of competitive football two weekends in a row. Until then, he is a side show.
05 Jan 2025 04:00:46
Ruben M-or-him? ?.
21 Aug 2024 20:29:56
I agree the number of players out is important, and they are working hard to make that happen (in some cases with both hands tied behind their backs due to book value and stupid wages) . I would not class letting players contracts run out for no fee, the same as agreeing a sell in fee. These are not the same.
Jnfirtjnately, some of our toxic contracts (not players, contracts) we may have to wait till they have all run out for no sell on fee. Another stunning glazer legacy.
14 Aug 2024 04:06:25
We are putting a squad together of players who will be great in a season or two. We are not looking for a star player looking for their last big deal before saudi.
13 May 2025 01:09:21
You don't think the club is in a mess Angel? Same owners. 5th highest wage bill in europe, 2nd highest spend last 5 years, and look what we have to show for it. We have the greatest debt for any club without a new stadium, we can be proud of that. We won at debt.
12 May 2025 19:11:15
Exactly, and the 1 player we did sign was a cheaper player who we hope will be good in the future.
11 May 2025 20:45:46
The greatest trick the glazers ever pulled was to convince the paying fans that everything is the manager's fault and that it would be better next year.
This is what happens when you try to run a football club like a bank, or hedge fund.
It will take time to fix this. There is no quick fix that means next year will be okay. Everyone needs to get out of denial and realise where we are. Our best players barely get into the teams of top half epl teams, or even on the bench for the top 3 clubs.
We need to see this through and build a style and a team that gets us where we want to go. It will take 2 or 3 more seasons. If fans want to get upset and hound the manager out. Then we will only take longer to get back. Stop the chop and change and move forward with a plan.
11 May 2025 00:47:05
Mancman
I think Cunha is a club priority. Even THE priority. Garnacho needs competition to develop, not certain starting. Mainoo may be more of a CDM, who knows what they are thinking. Mount has not show yet that he can stay fit for 90 mins in a single game, let alone 2 games a week all season. Non of us have mentioned Zirkzee, who is a good option at 10, but a little slow. Fernandes can play there, but suspect he moves back into midfield more and more, where he has been improving and more I influential.
Amad a great player, and can also play in the wider role, where he looks great when we are pushing further forward.
Bottom line is that we have not created enough chances this year, so something must be done to change that. Probably a 9 and 10 incoming, hopefully more proven than potential.
10 May 2025 21:06:55
Mount has a lot of work to do to show he can stay fit. Shaw is in the same boat. We cannot rely on these players right now.
