@jogbabonito idt our problem is with paying £80m+ its about paying over our valuation of a player im confident should Tchoumeni be available we would bid that much
@ArnesAkhis How many goals did they score from
Open play ?
All their attacks come from the wing to avoid Rice
Who actually played the full game ?
Who had 100 percent ground duels won ?
@Amonmrk I like Zirkzee tbh I think theres a player in there and from the outside looking in seems like a good character to have in the squad so i dont like slating him but my days hes been a horrible signing
Not just in hindsight but his profile made noooo sense when he was signed asw
@Silvakn0ws So you know what profiles and skill sets the squad needs better than the recruitment team, data team and director of recruitment/football eh 🤔 ok then.......
Patrick Dorgu and Matheus Cunha are now considered #mufc’s two left-wing options, with Bryan Mbeumo and Amad viewed as the options on the right [@samuelluckhurst]
🚨 JUST IN:
Manchester United have been IN TALKS with the player side of Mateus Fernandes for 4-6 weeks. The player is OPEN to joining United.
If West Ham stay in the Premier League, the deal will likely be OFF the table - at least without significantly overpaying - because they will fight to keep him.

Think Arsenal have not opted into being more pragmatic and defensive but rather forced into it by their quality, or lack thereof. All their most free flowing games have just been the ones where Eze has played really well. Whoever is responsible for recruitment has lost the title
Not defending it in the slightest but just caught the Eze goal last night, has anyone ever thought that the majority of the ‘marginalisation’ of Arsenal’s football ie. set pieces & routines is mostly down to a lack of attacking quality? Outside of Eze, Havertz & Saka, the majority of the rest are pretty mediocre. City have beautiful patterns between the front 4 but mostly because Cherki is a wizard, Doku is one of the best box enterers I’ve seen, Haaland’s a generational striker & Semenyo has insane talents for a wide attacking forward. Don’t get me wrong, the majority of it is an Arsenal/Arteta/Berta issue but can’t help but think they’ve needed a superstar attacker for 4 years and the rigidity & ‘boringness’ argument is largely because of the players he’s working with. Idk, just a thought I’ve had for a few weeks.
the way theyve gone about things does not fill me with confidence for whoever they end up appointing as our permanent coach. I cannot understate how unimpressed i have been with this leadership
The #mufc hierarchy now have serious reservations about making Michael Carrick the club’s permanent head coach after the team’s recent wobbles [@DiscoMirror]
Arsenal were never linked with Cherki that’s hilarious to me
A team in need of X factor and BTL players didn’t even look his way once
Culture at the Emirates is broken
@UtdMicah hopefully hes going to be assessed fairly like any other candidate. I dont think he should get the job bc I agree the football has not been great or sustainable ud hope Ineos would also come to the same conclusion but you never know with them
I don't think this should be a concern as long as Carrick is only viewed as a short term coach
Frankly I dont care abt the sustainability or optics of the style, our squad is good enough to win games when its platformed correctly thats all we need to end the season
Fulham was worse than Arsenal.
Spurs had a 30th minute red card.
West Ham was worse than Fulham.
Everton was worse than West Ham.
Palace today is worse than Everton.
This isn’t sustainable / trending in the right direction.
We were not great today we probably wont be great on Wednesday and we might not be great at the end of the season but if we finish in the top 5 and the squad is in a good place mentally bc of the freedom theyre enjoying with Carrick rn what more could you ask for in an interim
