Greenlizard0 Weekend Football Thread ** spoilers ** [19th - 24th April 2019]

[BaZ87]

He isn't even the best Brazilian keeper in the league.

Lay off the drugs Robbo.

 

[Steedie]

Tell that to the Utd marketing department.

Yeah, too true unfortunately.

Which is why we’ll probably throw money at Bale trying to sign him when he’s the absolute last player we need

 

[Ayahuasca]

Luke Benchpress Shaw needs to retire and take up bodybuilding.

 

[Robbo]

Yeah, too true unfortunately.

Bale is 30 this year, I can't see it. Then again, I don't know who else would want him, maybe we can get a cheap deal.

 

[McBain]

Danilo on, United still have a chance at getting something here.

 

[Calpol]

Learned a lot from the last few matches.
Out = Fred, Darmian, Lukaku, Sanchez, Pereira, Young, Pogba, Matic, Jones, Rojo

Dunno who to buy to replace but I don't reckon we'd miss any of the above

I really hope we don’t go anywhere near him

 

[robfosters]

Essentially, the club need to get a proper hierarchy in place (which they seem to be attempting), then totally revamp the squad.

It's ok people saying you can't get rid of X amount of players in one go, but you really can. Expensive players haven't remotely worked, it's time to buy younger players who fit a certain mould, and build from there. May take time, but that's OK.

Indeed. Aurelio Gomez is quality.

 

[Purdy]

Alisson with more shots faced, saved, clean sheets and less conceded than Ederson.

He also didn’t bottle another CL game like Ederson

 

[Robbo]

I really hope we don’t go anywhere near him

I really rate him, but injuries and age make it a no-go for me.

[chroniclard]

Apparently Pogba will have 1* skills on next year's Fifa.

 

[Steedie]

Oh I rate him, but as you say, he’s too injury prone. We really don’t need another injury prone player getting paid to fill our physio room

 

[adam cool dude]

The fix is easy. Sell Utd to those dodgy Saudia billionaires and buy your way to the top like City. Liverpool are in a golden period no doubt but they are not going to stay there forever. City with their unlimited funds will be a powerhouse for decades.

Generous

 

[Tombstone]

Well credit to Utd, they gave it a go, but even if they tried 100% they just arent good enough to beat City.

All I can hope for now is a Burnley or Leicester miracle.

Going to be insanity if we end the season with 97pts, the player of the year , the golden boot winner, the golden glove winner, conceding the fewest goals in the league and only losing 1 match but still not win the title.

I dont know how you go about lifting the morale of the players in the summer in that situation

 

[BaZ87]

Alisson with more shots faced, saved, clean sheets and less conceded than Ederson.

He also didn’t bottle another CL game like Ederson

And of the saves made, he's made a far higher percentage of shots from within the area and 6 yard box. Ederson's great with his feet and perfect for City but his shot stopping is bang average.

 

[Diddums]

Lol united. Just give up and play boules already.

 

[mid_gen]

I'd love to see the stats on Fred, times on the ball and times ball given away.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Expected result. Looking good for Spurs and Chelsea now

Indeed, that’s exactly it. None of our clubs will ever top City unless they get major, MAJOR backing.

But the funs in the chase.
