He's barely ticking away is Joe old fat useless **** has a heart attack a week and still can't get out of his local greggs pissed up ol ****
Alcoholic now inhe? I heard a rumour he goes into training stinking of ale packed on weight too, would make sense
Fred’s passing is shocking. **** knows who we’re getting in to replace Pogba but if the plan is VDB then we might as well bury our heads for the next 10 years.
And yet, he still isn't the problem. He was a ten million quid punt from the championship who was only ever meant to be a squad player who would hopefully improve, yet for some reason is put in the spotlight for where United are going wrong. You know fine well where United are actually going wrong mate; Martial, Lindelof and Matic are ****ing ****. Fred is even more average than Dan James yet cost four times as much. The keeper has lost all confidence and form, both Greenwood and Rashford are played completely out of position to accommodate others and players with talent like Juan Mata sit on the bench and watch. And all of the above is down to the management, not Dan James.
He's not passive enough mate if you're gonna do some hunting for us, we need someone who really hasn't got a personality, or if he has, it has to be a bit of a geezer type. Like a "**** u **** i love my job and ur missus is well fit id pork her get outta my press room" ala Pardew or Kinnear Hughton and Bruce types acceptable
Not one person ever blamed Dan James for United being so ****, but he isn’t absolved of criticism for losing the ball 200 times every game because he was a punt from the Championship. He’s not good enough, and our chump of a manager should know that. But he’s letting him back in, like he did with Pereira and he’ll do with Phil Jones.
His tackling and positional play isn't much better. Thing is he's shown enough in the past to say he could be a much better cm if someone actually coached him on his game. VDB isn't wanted. He'll be gone by January. Hasn't impressed tbf but once again how much of that is down to the manager? I'm hoping we keep Pogba tbh. Him, Bruno, McTominay. Fck off Matic (and Fred if need be) and bring in another defensive midfielder.
VDB is a shocking signing, £40m down the bog. So far he’s looked like a slower and less talented version of Juan Mata ffs.
It was far too easy a signing for us. Van Der Sar must've seen Woody coming Edit: I'd still like to see how he might come good under a better manager at United though.
One elephant in the room is that Solskjaer was manager while Ander Herrera was allowed to leave, yet kept Fred. Herrera is the player Fred would like to be, in his dreams. Ok, probably not ultimately his actual decision but he's got to have some culpability if he's to be given credit for his signings, which so far he has been.
Everyone thought he'd be a decent signing, let's not pretend otherwise. That he's now completely **** is down to mismanagement.
