Jesus, United chasing after Godin on deadline day now according to Sky. Woodward is so trash. :russ:

We know Woodward is out of his depth, but David Gill to blame for that, for ducking when Fergie did. And even before Fergie and Gill left, United were having issues of getting transfers over the line. They only got RVP because it was Fergies last season and Arsenal didn't want to lose out on money.

Thing is they have bought 2 CB's the previous 2 summers and Mourinho still wants more, without moving anyone on to make space, first. And tbh they had the 2nd best defence last season? Do they really need another CB? To me, both fullback positions need to be strengthened, another attacking/passing midfielder and a right winger.

United does need a real Director of Football so he can work independently of Mourinho. Mourinho's solution for everything is to sign a 29-31 year old :mjlol: He tried to sign Jose Fonte his first year :russ:

Transfers are all about agent-club relationships. Every year you see players that would make perfect sense for certain teams and they happen to be available but it never happens. Fergie and Gill had their Portuguese connection, remember the payoffs through the Bebe transfer :russ: and there were also shenanigans with Nani and Anderson agent fees.

Mourinho and Woodward decided to get in bed with Mino Raiola :francis: Zlatan, Pogba, Mikhytarian, Lukaku are all Raiola clients. They made their own bed fukkin with Raiola.

And the :mindblown: thing is, his best team Chelsea 04-06, main core of players were 23-27 range.

Then again beside Carvalho, D Diddy and Essien, that squad was put together by Ranieri.

When are they letting Mexican teams back in? :martin:
Liga MX clubs voluntarily pulled out and they have an open door to return whenever they want. But the president of Liga MX says it won’t happen until the Libertadores goes back to the old schedule.

CONMEBOL changed the schedule of games to run from January to November, which conflicts with Liga MX’s split season format with the Clausura and the Apertura. The only way you’ll see Mexican teams come back is if they change the competition format back to running from late January to the Summer, and that isn’t going to happen anytime soon.

Ironically United will still have a top 2 defense and for me finish 2.

And Spurs 3rd, cause to me their defense is still better than Pool and Chelsea
