Hi, Ed002. I seem to remember a while back you maybe mentioned that Chalobah might be a player we were interested in. With news that Chelsea are looking to sell, is this something that Utd might still be interested in, or have we definitely moved on? Thanks as usual.
{Ed002's Note - Not first or second choice at least.}
1.) 23 Jul 2024 22:31:46
Cheers, Ed002 ?.
2.) 24 Jul 2024 09:27:57
ED001 said he would be an excellent choice.
3.) 24 Jul 2024 14:37:04
I like him, Hatter, that's why I mentioned it. Thought he could be a good option if Everton insist on silly money for Braithwaite.
4.) 24 Jul 2024 21:37:00
NouCamp99,
He wouldn't be expensive either.
5.) 25 Jul 2024 07:18:17
I would happily see Maguire and Lindelof moved on, with De Ligt and Chalobah coming in.
6.) 25 Jul 2024 13:20:24
He'd be an interesting squad option, providing cover at RCB, RB and possibly at CDM occasionally.
However, is that the limit of his ambitions?
Is he happy to be a bit part player, filling gaps here and there for Manchester United, or does he want to stake his claim as a regular starter for a side and really show what he can do?
I suspect he doesn't want to be a bit part player, which he's probably communicated with Chelsea and they've decided to sign other options and let him go.
Personally I think he's good enough to start for a side in the Europa league, an EPL side that will finish between 8th and 4th. But I'm not sure he's shown yet that he is good enough to be a regular starter for a title challenger. Maybe with more regular football he steps up to that level.
Will he get that at United? Probably not.
7.) 25 Jul 2024 15:36:44
Well, Shappy, you did describe United at the moment ?.
8.) 26 Jul 2024 11:22:48
Trololo, yeah, at the moment but not where we are aiming to be.
9.) 26 Jul 2024 12:12:50
Thats not what you wrote Shappy, but okay!
17 Nov 2023 18:08:39
Something that worries me a bit at the moment. Stems from a reply from Ed002 on the other page, where he mentions ETH will be aware he probably won't be here next season.
Hopefully ETH's professionalism will come through, but can't help thinking it doesn't bode well for the rest of the season. If he knows, it's probably fair to say the players do too.
1.) 17 Nov 2023 19:11:42
If it’s correct, sooner the better he is gone for all concerned, I think they will know that too, because 100% they need champs league and atm that’s quite a way away.
2.) 17 Nov 2023 20:56:17
I think a lot of people including players am on ngat others are thinking Thier time may at United be coming to a close.
3.) 17 Nov 2023 21:00:36
Is it quite a way away Rangersred? We are 5 points off fourth place after one of our worst starts to a season in decades.
There are 26 games remaining and we haven't really got out of second gear. I'm not saying we are a top four team based on current form, but let's get some perspective.
In regards to ETH it would be a shame to see him go. He never really had a chance and I don't think there are any out there available I would want to see him replaced with. Especially if the Potter rumours are true.
4.) 17 Nov 2023 21:07:38
4/ 5 points, not quite a way at all! In fact to keep in the pack with our injuries is excellent imo! Don’t listen to the media, our injury record this season is phenomenal and has clearly had a detrimental effect on performances! To still be there or thereabouts is huge positive!
5.) 17 Nov 2023 23:47:06
I agree, Chris. But with the weak mentality in a fair portion of our players, I do worry a little that they'll act to form. No real concerns about ETH. I think his professionalism is there for all to see.
6.) 18 Nov 2023 00:09:09
Alot of players need to go before eth. If he had decent support we wouldn't be 6th we would be up around top.
7.) 18 Nov 2023 09:03:01
Ten hag will be utd manager next season, who on earth would they get if he left? Seems nonsense to sack him, everyone and his dog wants him sacked. With everything that's going on behind the scenes his been extremely professional. Jose and Co would have had a meltdown by now.
8.) 18 Nov 2023 09:12:05
Noucamp
Which page are you reffering to. I wpuld be disappointed and its a mistake imo.
9.) 18 Nov 2023 09:37:51
Discussion page Ahmad.
10.) 18 Nov 2023 10:24:59
Very possibly Nagelsman -short term contract with Germany - was the flavour of the month there a short time ago, according to the media don't miss out on this guy everybody loved him.
11.) 18 Nov 2023 10:29:52
It's something that so many people have been dismissive of but the instability hanging over the club due to the sale process will have 100% effected everyone at the club and their performances both on and off the pitch. It's completely normal.
I was speaking to my ex-manager yesterday from the school I was working at last year. She was saying how since the headteacher handed hi notice in at the start of the school year that it's affecting everyone at the school. How the confusion over the leadership and the direction the school will head when a new headteacher is appointed has everyone nervous and unsure.
It's completely normal that impending change impacts people and their performances at work.
For our club that cloud has been hanging over everyone for a year now.
As for EtH I would be disappointed if the new ownership situation led to his departure. In my opinion he's been our best manager post SAF and has handled everything very well. However, I also appreciate that if he isn't the right man for the new direction the club will be heading in then I'd rather his departure be sooner and on good terms than drawn out and messy.
Hopefully he has the character and mentality to want to do his best regardless of the situation. While it's probable that the new people will want a different manager it's not guaranteed.
If I remember correctly EtH was the manager Rangnick supported and thought was the best option. This was around the same time that he was suggesting Paul Mitchell would be a good person for the club to bring in. With the pair spotted at a few youth games together.
Hopefully that means Paul Mitchell holds EtH in the same high esteem as Rangnick. If he is to be the one to come in as DoF then I would hope he'd give EtH a chance.
However, we also have to respect that the club will be run under a new structure, and that will likely impact the managers position/ role at the club. Most likely taking some powers/ control away from the manager. Reducing their control over some aspects of the club. There is every chance that EtH decides that he isn't happy with that and doesn't want to stay under the new structure. Which is also completely understandable.
So until the new people are in and everyone can sit down and talk everything through then unfortunately everything will be up in the air so to speak.
Everyone just needs to be as professional as they can and do their job to the best of their ability until things become clearer.
Those that cannot do that will most likely be the first out the door. As why would the new management team want to keep people who cannot act professionally.
If you're worried about your job, then you need to show how excellent you are at it, prove that you should keep you place. It's that simple.
Worst case scenario you still lose your job, but at least you've proven to any future employer how professional you are.
12.) 18 Nov 2023 15:22:33
If we now comparing united to a school, at least we got the right headmaster in ETH, seems he good at that part! Sancho is still in detention as we speak and had his lunch time breaks taken away!
Doubt very much now RR holds ETH in high esteem anymore as it was ETH that would not work with him!
Whichever way it goes ETH is gone by the very latest end of the season, if not before which I certainly would not lose any sleep over neither will many of the current squad.
13.) 18 Nov 2023 17:10:50
Quite away. We not exactly falling down the table are we.
14.) 18 Nov 2023 19:04:45
But be realistic, look who we have played and even the ones we beat was scraping by, everytime we come up against half decent sides they beat us without too much trouble, which also means our hardest games are too come which to me is very concerning, but on the plus side will give SJR legitimate reason to get rid of the school teacher no not you Shappy the other one!
15.) 18 Nov 2023 21:05:43
I really really don't get the short term lack of patience with ETH. He has been fighting fires since he arrived and with one hand tied behind his back because of the inadequacy of those in charge of the club.
He has inherited a poor squad. Got rid of dead wood where he could and generally his signings have been good (Anthony is the only one who so far has flopped in my opinion)
He has not had a settled defence and that is the bedrock of any successful team.
Give him time at least another two years if he is backed properly and then judge.
16.) 18 Nov 2023 22:01:13
Rangersred, still not your turn with the family brain cell I see?.

08 Jul 2021 19:34:01
Ed002, I see rumours surfacing about Saul to Liverpool. Can you cheer me up and tell me this is complete nonsense? Cheers.
{Ed002's Note - Saul Niguez (CM) Nobody will pay his release clause but Atletico could look to a very high fee for a player who has a contract that runs for years in order to get his €300k weekly wage off the books. Bayern Munich's first choice to add for midfield and his agent has spoken with several sides as Atletico want to make very significant savings on salaries and could be forced in to a corner by the player and his agent. But Bayern see his cash price at €60M (or €75M on terms) and wages of €300k as too high and will want to negotiate - they will almost certainly turn elsewhere. He is being offered to the usual suspects who have money - Manchester United (who would need to offload Pogba), Juventus, Manchester City, PSG, Chelsea as a Kovacic replacement - many of which are looking to add a player in his position but his wages are a major issue for most. Atletico have signed his replacement. I am not aware of any approach from Liverpool at this time but he would be an excellent choice but a lot more expensive than other options.}
1.) 08 Jul 2021 20:05:20
Hi Ed, do United retain any interest on their side as one of the few sides who could afford it (if Pogba were to go) or is it more from his representation offering him around?
{Ed002's Note - Sure but they are intent on keeping the hostage and no moving forward right now.}
2.) 08 Jul 2021 20:39:54
Club need to look at the options unless Pogba is willing to sign a new contract (unlikely and if he did it would be astronomical) . No player especially someone like Pogba will give 100% in the final year of contract through fear of injury stopping the next big payday.
Bite the bullet, either use him as part exchange for Verane or sell to PSG. Then bring in someone like Saul as a replacement or top quality holding midfielder.
3.) 09 Jul 2021 10:08:10
gotta say, a midfield of Bruno, Saul and Camavinga would be awesome. With donny, Fred, McT and Matic as backup. Replace Matic and Fred over the next 2 windows with Garner and Mejbri and we are set for 5 years.
4.) 09 Jul 2021 03:37:27
Question for Ed002, if you’re around. You mentioned that the club can’t profiteer from a sale of Pogba due to having extended his contract, but how exactly would things work if they swapped him for someone like Varane? Would we still have to declare the ‘value’ of the deal and then negotiate with his agent or would it just go through like any other swap?
{Ed002's Note - All transfers have a value - even if they are exchanges.}
5.) 09 Jul 2021 12:49:45
Isn’t that why Barcelona and jive did the Arthur - pjanic swap at ridiculous prices.
6.) 09 Jul 2021 13:09:08
Ultimately all players have a "asset value" If United extend Pogba's contract only to use that to get a player in exchange then United will have profited to the tune of the value of that player.
So if Varane is valued at 50m then technically United have profited 50m from extending Pogba's contract.
The whole point about profiteering is that by extending Pogba's contract you are denying him and his agent the chance to earn a huge signing on fee.
Thus the club will have to agree to pay a large sum to Pogba and his agent if he is to leave this summer either for cash or as part of a player exchange.
7.) 09 Jul 2021 22:16:03
Cheers for the reply, Ed002.
8.) 12 Jul 2021 19:47:14
Isn't Varane in a similar contract situation to Pogba. In which case a swap would seem reasonable regardless of the nominal price attached. The profiteering aspect would presumably apply either to both sides or to neither.
{Ed002's Note - Real Madrid want cash, not cast offs.}

I'm all for rotation.
But could someone take Amorim to one side and explain the rules of Fantasy Football to him?
Namely, you don't take off a potential 6 point defender on 55 minutes. ?♂️.
1.) 03 Dec 2024 10:14:50
It’s an outrage. The lad didn’t put a foot wrong. I want my 5 points Ruben!

Cost me my top of the table, head to head clash.
Amorim out!
28 Nov 2024 20:00:06
Really good to see Malacia back. Whether he makes it here or not, it must have been a nightmare for him.
1.) 28 Nov 2024 23:04:48
Agreed however he's never really been a united player for me. Never impressed.
2.) 28 Nov 2024 23:15:17
Very good to see him back playing. A fair way to go on his fitness but that could be said for most of them.
Ugarte and maz were both very good tonight I thought. Rasmus played well. Mainoo will help no end in midfield.
Mount had his 1st start since Aug and played very well off the ball and was good with the ball but maybe didn't get on it often enough.
Malacia will be delighted to have got out there and despite being caught for pace on that occasion he was on the ball a lot high up the pitch and available, a few sloppy crosses but that's to be expected.
3.) 29 Nov 2024 05:49:21
Mazroui is an incredible buy and so good in all aspects of the game. I thought Ugarte was really good and starting to settle in.
Team will improve a lot once players are back to full fitness and get used to playing this system. Still waiting on Kobe and Yoro and they are both great talents. Its the first time I can remember where we actually have plenty of options, which includes Maguire coming back to.
I thought mount was excellent and he allows us to really press high and good link up play and clever player. Looking forward to the Everton and then the big one at Emirates.
Antony is not made for this system and will get sold imo. Garna needs to improve his finishing as we are creating plenty of chances for him.
4.) 29 Nov 2024 07:27:33
Maguire will be lost in this setup. Far too slow and pedestrian. He can share a taxi with Antony.
5.) 29 Nov 2024 08:47:18
Good to see a completely different lineup as the gaffa assesses what he has at his disposal.
Ugarte looks more assured by the game. Mazraoui is class in any team, what a signing.
I'm still very conflicted on the wide positions in this set-up. No-one's cried out to be selected so far but they seem very demanding positions. I wonder if we've got the personnel atm.
This is the type of display we need more often from Rasmus. As it is I think we'll need something as there's no direct no.9 replacement if Rasmus is injured, but how well he performs for the remainder of the season dictates whether we add depth or add a better player.
6.) 29 Nov 2024 10:51:56
I would like to see Dalot on the right Spenno. I think he’s far more comfortable there, and can offer a crossing option. I don’t want to see inverted fullbacks. Just give me a player who will look to get the ball into the box and create space inside for the two players behind the striker.
7.) 29 Nov 2024 12:03:27
Dalot will be gone in the summer I suspect and hope. A very poor crosser of the ball. Pertained I don't see him fitting into this system anywhere.
8.) 29 Nov 2024 12:49:13
I do think wingers as opposed to fullbacks are better suited, and that's what he went with at Sporting. In fact going on what he had before, it was wingers all round also in those two no.10 roles, but we are quite well stocked there I reckon.
Trouble is it takes time to coach wingers on the defensive side of their game so I can see the appeal in going safer for now while that's worked on.
17 Nov 2024 20:51:47
I'll miss the sharkopods most of all. Not so much for the transfer info, but for the random and obscure music clips. As a self-confessed music nerd, he often had me updating my library with his eclectic choices.
Obviously, my thoughts go to his family, but it's obvious the two of you were very close as well and went through a lot together, Ed001, so look after yourself, mate.
{Ed001's Note - thank you nou, I miss those sharkopods too. I had no idea what any of the music was but it always interesting.}

10 Jul 2024 22:19:43
Other than a fantasy football interest, and keen to see how Mainoo continues to improve, I'd no interest in the game tonight.
But, obviously the majority on here are more than likely England fans, so just wanted to say well done to you all, and good luck for the final.
You'll need it ?.
1.) 10 Jul 2024 22:31:59
Couldnt care less myself either but very proud of Mainoo - looks the part and has been one of the best players on the pitch most games. Hope he gets a good rest before the season starts and doesn't get burnt out. Looking like a real top player.
2.) 11 Jul 2024 04:25:15
Mainoo was superb, was running the show in the first half.
3.) 11 Jul 2024 05:56:26
I wanted England to win just to hurry along our transfers. One suspects De Ligt and Zirkzee will now be on the next plane over to Manchester.
4.) 11 Jul 2024 06:59:19
Redseven, Zirkzee and De Ligt still have another (totally pointless) game to play on Saturday.
5.) 11 Jul 2024 09:00:18
It's unbelievable that this time last year practically no-one had heard of Mainoo and now he's in the England starting XI in a final on his own merit. Hats off to the boy.

Wazza. Didn’t UEFA scrap the third place playoff for the Euros? I could have sworn it was only the World Cup where they did that these days.

Ah, well that’s better then. Absolutely pointless game.
{Ed001's Note - I don't think they have had one since the 1980s if I remember correctly. I am pretty sure I read that when I was doing research for an article about Denmark's win.}
10.) 11 Jul 2024 17:16:01
In average where there are too many games for these players it's pointless.
I think they still have them in the wc but I've not checked.
Nowadays there is great rewards for finishing forth in a league. The national cups in most of the top leagues now is seen as secondary to finishing 4th in the league. Its a funny situation and one that I'm personally torn on.
You want to win every comp, I think in order to save the fa cup copa del Rey Italian or German equivalent is to award them a cl place I'd they are also in top 3 then the 4th cl place can go to 4th placed team in the league.
Occasionally you get a mad winner of the fa cup but not that often.
11.) 11 Jul 2024 21:04:21
Age is catching up with me Ed001 ?.
{Ed001's Note - I think that overtook you a long time ago mate.}
20 Oct 2024 14:59:21
Red Man, you make 27 sound ancient! A midfielder at 27 should be in their prime. Can't compare with the Cas signing. The injuries, fair enough. But 27, c'mon mate ?.
25 Jul 2024 01:00:25
Yeah, Danny, he deserved a proper send off, whether it was a testimonial or whatever. Give the fans a chance to say thanks and goodbye. It was all very low-key and anticlimactic for a player who saved us in a fair few seasons.
24 Jul 2024 14:37:04
I like him, Hatter, that's why I mentioned it. Thought he could be a good option if Everton insist on silly money for Braithwaite.
23 Jul 2024 22:31:46
Cheers, Ed002 ?.
23 Jul 2024 13:47:33
Agree, Fireman. Lindelof's versatility and comfort on the ball compared to Harry, means if one goes it's Harry for me.
06 Dec 2024 12:47:19
Shaps ?.
03 Dec 2024 10:54:00
Cost me my top of the table, head to head clash.
Amorim out!
25 Nov 2024 19:42:24
To be fair Grim, he's had 2 sessions, and they were mostly with the players who didn't make international duty. I'll be very surprised if we see that lineup again.
25 Nov 2024 18:46:56
I'd agree with most of them, Shaw. But I still think Mount can be a very good player for us in this system and under this manager.
(If fit) ?.
24 Nov 2024 10:15:21
Also with Shaw, when he plays he always finds a pass, even when under pressure. Rarely gives the ball away cheaply.
