Vasquez Rich 10 #14 Posted January 31, 2020 It's less about "punching above your weight" and more about being where your squad is, together, playing as a team, in a system that works, most of them with a point to prove and a manager who was voted the best in the land by his peers, and the other PL teams having overpaid, under performing "stars" with big heads, bought on over inflated fees with no incentive and nothing invested in a club they have no attachment to... many many examples of the latter, few of the former.

Richard To be fair it wasn't a dig, Wilder has got his team playing above and beyond what on paper they should be doing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Callum Robinson, Kean Bryan out on loan Possible other two ? Seismic change at the Lane. A squad made up of English, Scots and Irish lads and all the craic that goes with it, now includes French, Norwegian, Croatian, possibly Dutch and Greek. Hope they all gel Mousset's English is coming on well he seems to get on well with the team. With the amount of 'local' lads in United team I always imagine Paul Whitehouses character Julio Inglesias. I keep expecting to see Moose switching between French and Northern more often.

In next breath: '22 million isn't even that much to PL clubs, dem Blades are still skint' Loving it 😂 I've not heard of any of the 3 foreign players, but had heard of the likes of Fleck, Duffy etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
PapaLazarou 743 #18 Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) Zivkovic signing now confirmed. However, like Berge, he appears to have no red cards....no fights with fans....or suspensions by his employer of late. Really starting to question Wilders freebie choices now.

Vasquez Rich 10 #20 Posted January 31, 2020 Possibly of great significance, Man Utd have signed a keeper from Southend... a 20yo on a 2 and half year deal... Richard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

In a 2 professional footballing city, a 50,000 capacity stadium would be more than suitable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Moistened 5 #22 Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) Panagiotis Retsos in another we're supposedly close to signing. Greek defender from Bayer Leverkusen, he's struggled with injuries over the last couple of seasons, but Bayer bought him for 15 million before that! Only 21. Another potentially exciting signing! Looks like another loan with a view to buy. Edited January 31, 2020 by Moistened Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
atticus 95 #23 Posted January 31, 2020 No way would I want to move away from Bramall Lane . Eventually the Kop and South Stand are gonna need a revamp but I can’t see us needing more than 5k extra seats Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
