Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted August 9, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 9, 2018 Annoyingly, United have apparently spent the past week working out a deal for Godin, with the players agent saying to United he wants to join. The end result, Godin signs a bumper new deal at Atletico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted August 9, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 9, 2018 Everton signing Mina for 30m Euros is potentially fantastic business. Arsenal or United should've been in for him, he looked very good at the World Cup and can also grab a set piece goal now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted August 9, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) Alan Nixon from the Sun seems insistent United made a big offer for him but he turned it down. Seems strange. Everton have signed Bernard too. On the face of it, really good looking business from them with Digne and Richarlison too. Edit: Andre Gomes now too.

Mr_Danger Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Everton have signed the type of players who either kick on to be class or fade in to shitness. Potentially great business, all depends on Silva being better than his record suggests he is. A bit of the Emperors new clothes about him for me Clive.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted August 9, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 9, 2018 A bit harsh. His record with us was better than it had any right to be considering he was moulding a squad of loans and expiring contracts in only four months. He's a good coach who the players really like. Did well at Watford initially too. Doesn't mean anything at Everton where almost everyone struggles but with the squad they've put together, there are no excuses. Biggest fault at Hull was the zonal marking not working. We were shit either side of his appointment marking man to man so not blaming Zonal but it didn't work. Liked to play out though. Brought the best out of Harry Maguire and gave people confidence and encouragement to try playing forward. It's when that goes wrong that there's no hiding place - especially when you're in a relegation battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 He didn't do much more at Hull than Carvalhal did at Swansea and he was pretty much par for the course by the end of his Watford run which ended in him being a massive shit house, allegedly. He's definitely got potential but with the size of investment going on at Everton I thought they might have been more ambitious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted August 9, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) Andre Gomes could be a very good loan signing, he definitely has the talent. I'm less convinced by Bernard though. Fulham signed Sergio Rico on loan for some reason. They've also just signed Marseille midfielder Anguissia for £22.3m, who I've never heard of. Either way, they've made some impressive moves this window. My god I hope they smash Wolves. Well, now the window has SLAMMED SHUT (fuck off Jim White) we can do our predictions:  Top Six: City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, United, Spurs Relegated: Cardiff, Huddersfield, Watford Champions League: Juventus Top Scorer: Aubameyang Player of the season: De Bruyne I suppose Young player of the season: Ryan Sessegnon Best signing: Yerry Mina Biggest flop: Kepa First sacking: Whoever is managing Watford these days, well before Christmas Surprise package: Fulham When will Jose fuck off?: By January Edited August 9, 2018 by PunkStep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members SpursRiot2012 Posted August 9, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 9, 2018 @Otto Dem Wanz I'm an idiot. I meant Fabinho, not Firmino. Â It doesn't look like Toby Alderweireld got his move to United, so I do hope that Poch makes use of him. It's so dumb to bench quality players just because they might, maybe leave in 6-12 months.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted August 9, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) I have no idea what a good signing for United would have been. Centre half wasn't the main concern in this team. He's already bought two of them in the last 2 years, and he doesnt seem to fancy them now. My concern is Mourinho doesnt seem to be able to get the best out of what he's already got. You look at a team with De Gea, Lukaku, Matic, Sanchez, Martial and Pogba. You shouldnt be going into games thinking they'll get over ran and lose possession. I look at that and think if you had a manager who allowed this team of players to take risks and express themselves, you wouldn't be going to Anfield and putting 11 men behind the ball. Cant see Mourinho getting the sack as early as he tends to with this board at United. I'll say just after Christmas. They didnt even sack Moyes until they worked out the Maths, so save a few quid. Give it Giggsy til international brek! Edited August 9, 2018 by IANdrewDiceClay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Is the lack of activity at United about them keeping their powder dry for the next guy by any chance? If that's so then they should have bit the bullet and sacked Jose off now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
