Jose, March 2018

another summer spending spree for depressed partridge, is another 3-4 players on huge wages that the next manager may not even want.

Can't bloody wait. Where's that season ticket renewal option again?

the big money signing that Mourinho bought last summer?

Fellaini's going nowhere because Jose needs him for tactical masterclasses like Tuesday night.
Can't beat a lofted diagonal to the back stick.

If he stays another season, or even just until the end of this one, I'm worried that we'll lose good players who would otherwise have stayed.

I wouldn't blame DDG at all if he f***s off in the summer, although I'll be gutted when he does, but I think we'd risk losing others too.

On paper this squad is pretty good - give or take a few of the shitc***s- the longer he stays the greater the chance that he either a)ruins the good ones or b)they f*** off.

He clearly doesn't want to be here, we know that, the players know that, let him go. Now.

not all signings work, none of LVG's worked and Fergie made a few howlers. I think its down to the individual. He hasnt knuckled down and the way he made a point of shaking jose's hand said to me that he was trying to get back in to his favour.

Pogba hasnt cut it, there have been flashes but no consistency.

The beauty of a Poll....

The lurkers never lie, it gives them a voice..

Cheers the silent majority...

replace pogba



I love the absurdity of this.

How long before someone says he was lumbered with pogba. It was woody's signing!

Jose just needs money

He needs a new defense (bought 2x cbs)

Needs a new midfield (bought 2x central midfielders)

Needs a new forward (bought sanchez and lukaku, has rashford and martial)



Absolutely absurd.

Quadruple was assured with the signing of Lukaku and Matic I thought

Valencia Bailly Lindelof Shaw

Matic

Herrera Pogba

Mkhitaryan Lukaku Martial

Get Martial and Shaw playing and that's quadruple

(Sorry Switchers )

Scholesy was on about this the other day as well. As if it's simply just a case of the next 'Window' being able to put everything right.
As if we haven't already spent tens upon tens of million pounds on players.

Why would this summer be any different?
Why are we always 3 or 4 players short despite adding to the squad consistently?
Why would you trust Mourinho's judgement in any case? - he's already said he wants Fellaini here next season.

All I see the pro-Mourinho lot doing is digging out the easy targets like Smalling & offering nothing positive about Mourinho's methods or ability to turn us into (at the very least) a watchable team.

Most of what you have cited as not down to the manager actually is Shade, soz.

Team has no leader and a manager known for not seeing out his contract. Our captains are Tony V , Pogba and Richard Ayoade. Managers who should have known better kept players that should be gone. Jose is playing boring £#%&!ing football and has zero balls. Set up at home like we were playing Barca away. Has bypassed midfield because they lack quality. We've not one great defender anywhere across the back.

When shitc***s like Smalling, Jones, Darmian and Rojo make the most basic of defensive mistakes and the likes of Herrera and Bogbrush who cannot pass the ball properly and commit stupid fouls over and over again isn't Mourinho's fault.

Mata being easily knocked off the ball because he is a lightweight who does not influence the game is not Mourinho's fault.

Matic's recent poor form is a case of tiredness setting in after being played too often.

Pogba just seems to be acting like a bit of @#%&! right now.

Martial can do himself a favor by making better decisions in the final 3rd instead of constantly running into defenders with his head down and losing the ball. Pretty sure Mourinho is not telling him to do that.

Rashford constantly gets into very good positions in the opposition's penalty box because of his skill and pace. Usually all done on his own. He needs to be better at hitting the target and score more goals on a regular basis. Again, not Mourinho's fault.

And then there's Young, Valencia, Blind and The Scottish Player who are just average players.

Not all down to the manager. Give him another season, surely this time he will get rid of most of the shitc*** players in the summer.

Need to stop with the easy targets. It's always the same in English football and I don't really get it. When the team is under-performing my surely your first port of call is your best players, the ones who are supposed to be making the difference.

If they are doing their part and you're being let down by some of the lesser ones, then fair enough. But we spent £130m on a midfield pairing that has been a disaster; £75m on a striker who although improving is still unreliable; we have given Sanchez and his people a fortune to chose us over City; we have two of the most talented young attackers in Europe in Martial and Rashford.

We have also spent £70m on two centre-halves. I'm not saying these players are beyond help, but in previous times the shiteness of a John O'Shea or a Tom Cleverley was a minor annoyance, not a focus. You look to your big players, your leaders, to inspire at big moments.

100% correct

Anyone else read the thread title as Jodie Marsh 2018?

The polls have begun.

The fact Castles has chirped in will no doubt mean this has been passed onto him/his advisors.

You play the shit @#%&!s and you deserve everything you get.

totally this.

I've highlighted the problem for you right there. one of the players in that inadequate pair is not a £#%&!ing defensive midfield player as well.


I suppose at least jose isn't currently getting slated for tuanzers and timmeh being elsewhere. but he £#%&!ing should be.
