One thing about Ole is you never hear him shyt on players publicly. Who knows what he says behind close doors. Same shyt SAF used to do. If mourinho was still here....
Exactly, but people will shyt on that too, as if they'd rather have Mourinho killing morale after every game.

Jose had an ok run for while sure, but it was never convincing. The moment we didn't back him in the market the summer before he left it was over. He became a cancer on the club after that. The same will happen at Spurs, the signs are already there.

Before this season the objective was comfortable CL qualification. A title challenge if we had gotten Sancho. Since Mourinho left the transformation of the squad, freezing out of shyt players has been incredible, our squad has been somewhat transformed. We've played consistently decent football for the first time since Fergie retired.

Bruno's arrival has accelerated expectations and where we're expected to be as a team. This was always a long process, from where we were.

You simply cannot hate on Ole when you look at the bigger picture. I have reservations too and don't think he's ultimately the man to deliver us real success but i honestly feel like we'll look back and think what a job he did for the club.

Absolutely, we definitely cannot say he hasn't made a positive impact and will leave a far better team and environment than he met for whoever will take us forward.

I must say though, winning a trophy with Ole would be. :banderas:

Ehh..the fact that Haaland is the only player you think we should be signing shows Martials class really. Think about it we have two of the best young forwards on the team in Rashford and Martial. :yeshrug:. If we can get better wide play, especially on the right to provide space , we good.
Haaland isn't the only player. He's just one that's looked a genuine world class 9 we've been heavily linked to. I like Martial but I don't see us winning a title with him as our main striker. Just isnt ruthless enough. I do hope his injury isn't serious though but it looked like a hamstring.
