When the shit hits the fan, and they've got the wrong man, that's Amorim!

This,

It seemed a decent deal as a stop gap for a year, but they gave him 4 years and silly wages.

As for Radcliffe for a billionaire he sure looks bloody scruffy.

The thinking might have been that they could easily flog him to the Saudis after a year. But you pay someone 350k a week , youā€™ll find that they arenā€™t as responsive to the move to the desert of Saudi.

Problem with sticking some players on long contracts weā€™ve had the issue as well.

Joe Cole springs to mind.

United looked better in the midfield when they had Fred.

Yeah. But Cole came in on a free. United paid some 70M and then 350k per week wages.

Because Fred, on his day, was a good player. He dominated Man City single handedly but United were never able to figure out how to get the best out of him consistently.

I still think if he had joined a better club he would have shown himself a good player.

Pogba was the problem then for United. Not as big a problem as what Bruno is for United now.

Teams can somehow manage to have one luxury player on the pitch. United do so with 2 in Bruno and Rashford

Still talking about tying people who are evidently past it down to long contracts.

Itā€™s shit like this that keeps me going backā€¦

Iā€™m addicted.

Can someone please help?

Like if the chips were down and we were against it Gerrard showed up again and again.

Every time Bruno appeared on the screen at 1/2/3-0 he was moaning at himself and looking dejected.

Not to mention everything else but you couldnā€™t make a worst comparison I feel.

I sincerely ask myself this question, would Gerrard ever beg to get taken off in a game if he wasnā€™t injured?

Heck, would he ever beg to get taken off?

His behavior in the game in 14-15 wasnt too far it TBF. That was a proper low point in his career though rather than the expectation.

Duffer is 100% a Liverpool fan whoā€™s doing a Mubbseh on them, thereā€™s no other explanation!

Is it time you finally admit to having a self-masochism fetish?

He also looks like a guy whoā€™s bitten off more than he could chew , and just realised it. Funny how being a petroleum billionaire and an expert in tax dodging and union busting hasnā€™t translated well into running the football side of one of the worldā€™s biggest clubs.
