Quote from: trailer on February 22, 2024, 11:05:44 AMJR making all the right noises in his interviews with the media yesterday. God knows there's been a good few false dawns in the last number of years but certainly he can talk the talk... can he walk the walk?

He sure did, liked two in particular, "man utd must walk to the right solution, not run to the wrong one" and "if I wanted an investment I would have bough another chemical company"

Interesting to see what happens in the next transfer window, who goes and who stays.
The stadium issue isn't being mentioned on here. Will they build a new stadium or upgrade? He seems in favour of a brand new stadium.

The stadium whether it's new or refurbished is going to happen. But it's a good idea of Jim's to get money from the govt to build a state of art stadium. Old Trafford has the south stand issue with the railway line and a street of houses right behind that again. But I'm sure it's possible to build over the railway line. I've been to old Trafford many times, and it's obv not state of the art anymore but it's not as bad as its made out to be either. Remember apart from the south stand the rest of the ground is no older than croke pk. All those other 3 ends were demolished and rebuilt starting with the Stretford end in 1993.

I see just when Rasmus Hojlund has found the goal scoring form he's ruled out with a muscle injury for the next 4 or 5 games. While a blow to United it's a boost to Villa and Spurs ahead of them.

Disaster. Clubs medical department needs overhauled.

It has to be completely gutted. Look at the players with constant long term injuries they have had over the last 10 years. Jones, Shaw, Martial and now Mount, Martinez and Malecia can't get fit at all.

Cunny Funt · February 23, 2024, 03:17:27 PM

Martinez out replaced by the clumsy and error prone Maguire. Shaw out and replaced by a 4th choice centre back lindelof. Hollund out and will likely be replaced by Rashford who won't put in the work rate of Hollund and Rashford moved from the wing could mean Anthony restored to the starting team.

The one thing the injuries highlights is how weak the squad is with zero strength in depth, Jim Radcliffe and Co need to focus improving the squad starting this summer before even thinking about some state of the art Old Trafford.

Is that him out of the city game?

Yeah.

Onana (on form)
Dalot-Varane-Martinez-Shaw
Maino-Casemiro-Bruno
Garnacho-Hojlund-Rashford (on form)

Thats a fairly strong team that you'd expect to best most teams, but theres 0 behind that, 2 or 3 injuries and the team is woeful again and carrying a few duds.

jcpen · February 23, 2024, 03:48:14 PM

It's a weird one when the most expensive squad ever assembled in the history of the game has no strength in depth.

Look where the money went. 160 million on Maguire and Antony for starters.

Milltown Row2 · February 24, 2024, 10:35:45 AM

If they don't get top 4 with the most expensive team ever assembled (net

) they'll have bottled it

Will definitely be bizzare

if they don't.

United have given up defending for lent

Cunny Funt · February 24, 2024, 05:05:50 PM

That defeat and win for Villa ends whatever slim hope there ever was for a top 4 finish. Fulham deserved their win but the two goals conceded pretty much summed up United this season. 1st truly woeful defending from set piece. 2nd goal when pushing hard for a winner themselves they get caught out on the break, Maguire not wanting to tackle as he was booked and Lindelof couldn't get back as injured taken off soon after.
