Someone's having a real laugh - sperm of gollum to Utd.

Lingard is clearly unsettled. We should be all over that in the summer.

I know. I reckon we go round to his house and spend a good couple of hours letting him know that united are the absolute perfect team for him and he definitely shouldn't be looking to go anywhere else. Bring him a few tins of beans as a sweetener.

I just hope United have posted security outside of Ole's shire.

No need. Ole was one of the blokes in balacalavas.

[Jordy Brouwer]

I don't know why Ole keeps picking Lingard. I'm doubly confused as to why he picks him and then publicly shouts he's going to take him off again. Don't pick him then. Just bad management I guess. 

 

The Bruno Fernandes deal is a shame. United were dicking around trying to lower the fee for ages. It looked like Barca might swoop in a pay a fair price and I wish they had done. The thing is Fernandes is a really good player. He won't get them back anywhere in our league but if they add a quality strikers they might be on the road to a modest recovery. 

 

Of course to get on our radar they need six new players. Minimum.

One more time of doing what? Obviously not scoring or assisting a goal, but maybe giving the ball away?

And they would all have to come out of our team.

I think this is a good move for Fernandes if his goal is to end up on loan in Italy.

I think he'd just tried some fancy flick that didn't come off. Either that or it was simply 'if you're shite one more time'.

[Dr Nowt]

Ole Rodgers has been talking about what a great human being this new signing is.

[thegreatelephant]

only one game, but i saw the Sporting V Benfica match with a Portuguese SL supporting mate and Fernandes did fuck all and they lost. at home. big match bottler.

 

Bolasie was shite also but that's standard

We often signed good to excellent players, but they didn’t get us back to where we used to be,  outspent Man Utd over the course of the 90s. The problem is that finding and maintaining a winning blend is so difficult; they had plenty of teams that, a couple of standout players aside, looked relatively perfunctory on paper, but even when key men were injured they kept winning. Think of how many ex-Man Utd players ended up toiling in mid table after Ferguson deemed them surplus to requirements.

 

I'm not saying we'll enjoy sustained domination because I think it’s essentially impossible nowadays, but in the event that we don’t endure an unprecedented collapse, it’s notable that Klopp will be the first manager in decades to build his first English league title winning team over a period of several years. That, I think, bodes well for the future.

[Ne Moe Imya]

The thing about Bruno Fernandes is ... he's not actually that great.

 

I mean, he takes a lot of shots, and that can be a good thing. He's also really good at scoring from distance, which can also be a good thing. I'm not at all trying to make out that he's rubbish or anything. But he's the sort of player that, if he plays for another team and you only see him on MOTD, you think he's one of the best players in the league, but if he plays for your team and you watch him for 90 minutes every week, you find him hugely frustrating.

 

If he had come here to us, I would think Klopp could get him playing really well. Cut out maybe the worst 20% of his shots or so and he'd be a big asset.

 

At United, I think it's 50-50 that he's a huge flop. He will score a few spectacular goals and everyone will go gaga but in the longer term the way he wastes possession with giveaways and bad shots is going to drive his manager mental.

[Jordy Brouwer]

I think he has a lot of potential. He's such a big upgrade on Pereira its not even funny.

 

I'd have to add Fernandes to the list of players that could genuinely form the core of a  Man United recovery. 

 

The list is: him and Wan-Bissaka.

Manchester United have submitted a £22m bid to bring Fenerbahce striker Vedat Muriqi to Old Trafford, according to reports.

Why?

So just Fernandes then.

Wan-Bissaka is terrible on the ball and totally unsuitable for a RB in a top 6 side

I've said this before but he's a mystery. On the surface, you look at his goal and assist numbers and they're extremely impressive. And then he seems to be exemplary with his work rate and leadership, but then you think about it and ask yourself; how many players in their mid 20's come from a mediocre league, having so few references of great play in high level games, both internationally and with his club and have succeeded at a massive club? I'd say he'd basically be the first. Can't think of anyone recently.

How old was Suarez when he signed for us?

24. Didn't he have a shocking disciplinary record though? He'd already done a ban for biting someone while at Ajax.

True, Suarez came from the Eredivisie, but he'd caught the eye at the World Cup and Copa America. Fernandes basically has no big matches where you saw him and thought' "who is this guy? He's really good".

Didn't he play really well against city in the ECL? Salah was a risky signing but Fernandes has only played in average leagues. Certainly a bigger risk.

French league is stronger than the Portuguese. Fabinho won it with Monaco and got to the semi finals of the Champions League too.

Nah, they’re hailing McTominay as the next midfield powerhouse and Fabinho is about five times the footballer.

Comical Ole with some belters here - especially the Sanchez stuff.
