Man Utd Thread:

Not sure what's funnier, Utd fans actually wanting Solksjaer back or Utd fans thinking Keane could turn things around.

I don't think a man who's proven to be clueless tactically coming in to hand out bollickings or grab Rashford by the throat or something is going to improve things in this day and age.

Think outside the box lads.

Nobody wants Ole back. Tiktok nonsense.

The season is over, Keane doing exactly what you said is thinking outside the box, or let the players continue to rip the shit

It's still laughable, even if Ally McCoist and Andy Townsend come out with it

The circus would just continue if Keane was appointed

Ten Hag won't buy British players, all this talk of identity, with all due respect teams in the English league need a British core too, man's definitely a few sprinkles short of a sundae

Mason Mount will do that to you.

What exactly is core though? If you're talking about teams with a midfield that can control the tempo, mix it up, unlock defences and provide that bit of magic and creativity, none of the top teams rely on British players. I think it's why they struggle at the business end internationally. They don't exist.

Instantly forgettable, worst player to ever own the number 7 jersey?

Players who give a shit and refuse to embarrass themselves in their own back yard

Not disagreeing but the injuries havent helped his cause at all.

Be interesting to see him fully fit to find out where he was even meant to fit into this team. Was a really weird signing.

Someone on twitter pointed out that the mount sale saved Chelsea from PSR problems and let them sign Cole Palmer. Awful business

I think he could have been a good player but injuries have killed any chance he had so far anyway. I have wondered if he got a run in the side without Bruno how would it go. He'd probably get injured...

I still think Owen was worse for the nr 7 but they've all been crap since Ronaldo left the 1st time apart from Cavani for a couple of months

Professionalism so. Kompany, VVD, Aguero, Rodri, KDB, Mane etc. There are many legends out there past and present who always led when the chips were down. Traditionally there were some great British players who personified pride and heart and got up no matter what, but in the new era the homegrown lad is probably more likely to roll around and sulk than Johnny Foreigner.
I can't think of too many English internationals who will deliver over 50 games a season. Stones and Rice? Ok they have a couple of good wide lads, but their game is more so getting on the end of things.

Foden player of year last year, Palmer is arguably best player in the EPL at the minute and Rice is a massive player for Arsenal so would disagree with you on this.

All teams have an international dimension, to succeed in the English league you need a British core, debase that at your peril. Selling McTominey was a big mistake, EtH is a fool of a took
