I think JLingz got told to shape up or ship out.

That being said I am leaning to the fact that @cenredash is messing with us...

Yep, he's being facetious :)

I am, and I am.

I would like to point out that Jesse has had huge problems in his personal life, the last couple of years, and that can affect performance.

That being said, if anything can ruin your best years leading up to your prime (27 years), other than yourself, is having a combination of Moyes, Van Gaal and Mourinho. Great coaches, but the constant changes needs a specific personality to be able to adapt.

In recent form he doesn't justify a squad place in any PL team, but his 2017-2018 season with 48 games and 13 goals was decent, if unspectacular, but again in a JM team that ended second in the PL, admittedly 19 points off City in that year, he was certainly one of the best performers. His 13 goals was also joint second for the team for that season with Rashford, behind Lukaku (27 goals).

He just feels like a budget Benteke, based on that year alone.

I would be immensely happy that his performances earn him a 15-30m transfer for us.

Much better than the free transfer for Sanchez, that's for sure.

And Woodnob is peeing me off no end again. Rumours are we want Ake - next thing, City get him for 40 million pounds, with a rumoured, wait for it, whole 1 million in potential add-ons.

City and Chelsea have been doing great business.

Us? Well, we gets lots of news how the Sancho deal is likely not to take place due to United being held to ransom again.

We give Sanchez away for free.

We get rid of none of the other deadwood. Looks like we need to decide to drop De Gea or Dean Henderson wants to leave.

Other than that, United may be getting a new janitor to clean the bird crap off the empty seats. Hope we don't pay too much for him.

You idiot, why did you post it on here!? City's gone and signed Jan Itor, the nigerian sweeper, for a pound more a week in add ons.

Aaargh. I'm sorry man. That bird poo is going to make the stadium collapse.

luckily the City stadium is used to empty seats ...

Btw, yes, annoys me no end. If he doesn't come to us this window, i don't think this is a maguire situation. Maguire is english, and would have wanted to come here, and stay here. Sancho is younger, if he goes to Bayern, or Juve, Barca or Real or another english club, i don't see him moving to us in a year's time.

Yep. Although it amazes me that Arsenal, City and Chelsea can get good players at seemingly half the price of United. I remember reading somewhere someone saying United are the one club that agents think they can get away with anything.

And it will continue until either 1, we become successful again or 2, change our policy of the type of player we want, and how we want to play, enough time to realise that goal, so a multi year strategy.

Still means paying more, but will a 3-4 year plan. I don't think we're a million miles away from challenging, but we need a consistent Martial and Rashford, if they're the primary strikers. Another defender, or for Lindelof/Baillie to really step up to be real undroppables.

What I have noticed is that with all the endeavour of our fullbacks, none of them have a really good cross. So maybe we don't have a powerful centre forward, but given the way we play we need to add the variety that a good crosser of a ball would bring something different to the guile that we're currently playing. None of Shaw, Wan-Bissaka, Williams or Fosu-Mensah seems to have that. That even on a bad day can deliver a good powerful cross. The last true crosser of a ball we had was Antonio Valencia. Btw, JLingz' bio says he's a good crosser.

What happened the youngster that i saw a while back in Europa - Baird or something like that. He looked awsome. And haven't seen him since.

You shitting me right? The Antonio Valencia that couldn't cross with his left feet? The same one that all defenders figured out he would run down the line and blasting the ball with his right feet every opportunity he had?

okok gotta credit his game when JM was in charge - he stepped up when everyone was piss poor
For that matter so did one Ashley Young. Now he couldn't cross a ball. We'll, actually we'll never know because it never went past the first defender.

More good work from United. Angel Gomes to Lille on freer transfer.
He refused to sign a lucrative contract considering his game time will be limited - besides no big loss we have Fernandes and up and coming Hannibal Mejbri

He'll most probably shine and we'll buy him back for a 100m in a few years :)
