Onana isn't very good is he? United have had their pants pulled down on another signing.

Quote from: jcpen on October 03, 2023, 09:32:32 PMIs Onana really any better than DeGea?


Is DeGea still a free agent?
Seriously though I don't see how he is any better than what they had, he's a calamity keeper.
There's 3-2 to the Turks

Made poor work of that 3rd goal.

Aaron Boone

It's all about distribution with the feet from keepers nowadays.

Skills like making saves and being dominant from crosses are forgotten about when the big fees are paid.

Taxi for Ten Hag.

It's only a  matter of time

Galatasaray's squad is worth €236m. Man Utd's is nominally worth €886m

That won't change anything , any more than getting rid of Poch will fix Chelsea.
The owners in both cases are the problem.

It won't change anything, you're right. But  that's football , and football is all about results.

But you can't blame the glazers for everything. Eventually you  might have to  look at it and realise that ETH, his managerial ability,  and the players he's brought in , just aren't good  enough.

In fairness you'd hardly consider Galatasaray plucky underdogs if those figures are right...

If that applied just to ETH it might be valid but Man Utd have had a revolving door of messiah managers who all failed.

 Why is Brighton more solid than Man Utd ?

Utd had extraordinary success under probably the best manager there ever was.  For a decade or so either side of that they've been a  basically a decent cup team.

They just need the next Ferguson.

In the last 70 years they had 2 top class managers. Busby and Fergie.

And in another dimension Mark Robins never scored that goal and Fergie was sacked, they never went on to have the success they did and trailer, Cunny Funt, and Captain Obvious are all Liverpool fans.

The same Galatasaray that haven't won an away game in Champions League since 2013 and haven't scored away from 2015. Turkish teams can make it difficult in Turkey but generally roll over on the road, to concede 3 at home is shocking.

A better manager?
A better system of play?
Players  who know their role?
No big time Charlie's?
