He was bought the summer before JK arrived, so no......unless you think that he was already directing our player purchases when Brod was still here?
I think they want Poch, and will go after him in the summer. (if they haven't approached him already )
it's a well reported thing that Rodgers grudgingly accepted firmino in a barter that he could then have benteke.
If you where poch, would you leave a well settled spurs side, in with an outside chance of winning something, for the absolute **** show that is utd. Unless he is promised an absolute fortune to spend
anyway, everyday... oh not personally cos I'd turn Utd down and piss on them too but he isnt a lfc fan. spurs can say what they like about big shiny stadium but the reality is for next 3 or 4 years it's a millstone round lets neck. they don't have the squad, they have a good first team. it can easily go badly wrong there at the back especially with vertonghen heading for the scrap yard and alderweirld going plus lloris issues. their lack of spend this year means they have more work to go do next year.
Whoever takes on that job has a massive rebuild on their hands...the pity is MU have the financial resources to do it. Any MU fans who want the likes of Zizou are using their hearts rather than their heads...same could be said for Keane or other ex players. The glory days are dead and buried.
I don't think they do really. Its just the defence that's utter ****e and midfield that's lacking creativity. I mean Young at fullback..... jeez. Mourinho is the problem imo. His tactics are so restricting and he demoralise/alienates players. Players need to feel the support of the manager and want to play for them and at the same time they need to be excited to play for a club and that comes in the manner of how the team goes about playing the game. They've clearly got a good forward line, Rashford, Lingard, Martial and even Lukaku are good players if allowed to be. And the midfield could be soooooo much better, Pogba is also clearly a good player, the World cup proved that when used right. Yes the defence is bad, really bad. None of the CB's they've bought have landed and the fullbacks are also just bad. Also any team that uses Fellaini might as well just give up and settle for midtable, cause he's an awful footballer.
Just watched the highlights looked a tighter match than what was stated But Tbf to Jose I thought he was spot on about us Going to look for some extended highlights On different note could this man be out next manager once he develops- purely for the saints meltdown Hassenhuttle (?)
Don't be fooled - selective highlights can make a game look more even. We were all over them from beginning to end.
Utd de gea... won't sign new deal? 12 months activated. dalot... half decent young player. Shaw... terrible defender, positionally he s woeful. a trier though. bailly... best of bad lot. better than has been allowed to be confidence shot. new man may turn him round. other cbs.. ****e. matic.. legs gone? cms? non existent lf. martial... sometimes very good. c.f.. lukaku get rid uurgently. not a Utd forward. rd. rashford? They have many issues then. mata won't defend and is slow. Sanchez. terrible terrible decision. pogpoo. oh dear. I'm afraid the only answer for these guys is a complete team transplant over 4 or 5 years. Woodward has to stop deciding what's value and they have to just get the best
Match of the day made it out to be a close contest. Shearer said it could have been a lot more though
