"Shades of David Geddis" sounds very League of Gentlemen to me.

A Creme Brulee classic

It's a shit business.

Bosman at its best

Oi.

Good player when in a good team. Has not remotely let us down when he's been called upon.

It's all about playing in a good team, good manager and full of confidence. I will think he's slightly below average.

Our defence always has room for a big Scandinavian.

Let's be honest, some people simply lose their shit, their good sense and what remained of their dignity at the prospect of us signing a Man Utd 'reject', despite most of their players being really quite good.

Yep. Happened three times in less than 12 months. Twice they were wrong and the third time is still up for debate.

As shit as United are, and they are shit, you don't get signed by them without quality and something to work with. In a way it's not a bad place to be shopping right now, because they drag down players' value.

I’ve thought for a while that Man United’s problems run deep, and it’s not necessarily that they’re signing shit players or appointing shit managers. They’re broken as a club, and probably need a relegation to fix it (much as we did in the later Learner years IMO) just because it’s the only way you can fully cleanse everything from top to bottom.

I get this feeling maybe Jaden Sancho will flourish under Emery, we’ll pick him up on a free, then people will be wondering how we’ve managed to pluck the best midfield in the country for a pittance - Kamara, Tielemans, Barkley, Bogarde, and Sancho for free, Rogers for £8m, McGinn for £2.5m, … even Onana at £50m and Buendia at £25m look like increasingly shrewd signings.

Barkley wasn't free, we paid about £5m for him, the point still stands otherwise though, 9 midfielders for about £90m but now with a collective value of £250-300m.

He's a smart player. The opposition know, during our build up, that when the ball comes over to Lindelöf on the left, he's unlikely to attempt anything other than a layoff off his left foot. But he's countered that somewhat by being prepared to take a few steps into midfield, which prevents the build-up from getting completely locked down.

He’s done ok so far, yesterday was tough especially first half and coped
definitely better than I was expecting as I thought he would be a weak link having seen his efforts in the past

I agree with that. And he looks a very good player.

I don’t think Buendia was £25m either. More like £33m as I recall. Also, Morgz has probably triggered all his ads-ons I reckon, so £15m. Still a bargain obvs.

Edit: searched it.
