Caporegime
Is there any suggestion he's ripping everything up and starting again? If anything he seems to be happy to work with most of the existing squad.
Let’s not get too cocky, we’re hardly having a revolutionUtd have signed a free agent and losing last seasons top goalscorer
Eth is really ripping it up
I kind of feel for Brentford really, I had hoped he would stay with Brentford. It seemed like Brentford were willing to "take a chance" on him when nobody else wanted to risk it so its a bit of a shame that he has then left so quickly. I'd have liked to see him give them one more season at least.Damnit! Was really hoping Eriksen would stay with us... now we've got to spend money on a replacement.
Probably because we dont need a revolutionLet’s not get too cocky, we’re hardly having a revolution

Youve signed someone on a free and a backup player for the future and losing your top goalscorerHe does, and there is talent in the squad for sure - it just needs knitting together.
So currently we have:
Would be excellent if they were all done by the end of the week.
- Eriksen likely joining
- Malacia who looks a good prospect
- De Jong deal still being worked on
- Martinez looking somewhat positive too
We could win a treble and he'd still be posting nonsense as usual.

Tell me how thats nonsense and not the usual rubbish business utd been doing for the last however many years
Eth says he wanted to work with ronaldo so saying probably didnt fit into his system is rubbishSo you think Eriksen is a bad signing? Based on?
A top goalscorer who isn't in the long term plans of the club and won't fit into the new managers system? Something most people would agree on, and did when he signed.
We're also looking at signing Martinez, a top target of your own club?
You're aware there are almost two months remaining of the transfer window?
Anything else?

Eriksen is a good midfielder hes not the cbs or striker utd need though is he
He’s primarily a CB yeah?He's hardly going to come out and say he doesn't want him is he?!
Midfield has been our weakest area for years now, defensive and offensive. This is well documented.
Martinez is a CB?
He’s primarily a CB yeah?
And hoping and expecting for that is ridiculous.I would agree with this. All of our eggs are in the Ten Hag basket now, so we need to get the players he wants and hope he's good enough to rival Klopp/Pep.
And hoping and expecting for that is ridiculous.
Ridiculous in the short term, but he might come good. No one knows yet and it won’t be ‘his team’ for a few more windows either, got to give the guy a chance.And hoping and expecting for that is ridiculous.
It's not about signing players he wants or doesn't want. It's about having a structure in place that doesn't rely on one man. The club sets the overall philosophy and appoints a manager/coach to carry that out and they bring players in that fit into that way of playing. There is, yet again, zero evidence of that happening at Utd. The man they appointed in a short term managerial role that was meant to help implement this moving forwards has left and all Utd's transfer targets are just players ETH has worked with or knows from his time at Ajax.What is the alternative? Should we sign players that ETH doesn't want?

There is no continuity in anything Utd have done and by the looks of it, will be doing now. They're just going to put their eggs in the ETH basket and when he doesn't come good they'll rinse and repeat with the next manager not wanting the 4 foot CB you're being linked with just like ETH doesn't want the non football playing RB Ole signed.
