  1. This story is from The Sun by the way.
  2. No. It's not actually Sky Sports breaking it either. It's just in their paper talk section.
  3. It's the reality though. If INEOS are given a choice, they aren't going to choose Nice. But it will never come to that.
  4. I still think so because INEOS don't have a controlling stake in Man United, but it's a grey area as they're clearly in control of footballing operations. I don't believe anything is cause for concern though, and if only one was allowed to play, it's not going to be Nice.

    He did say it's based purely on ability and not how they performed for England, so the likes of Rooney and Scholes have to be in surely. Terry and Cole nailed on.

    He had Bruno Fernandes behind him and he was the focal point of the attack. I know a lot of you don't like Fernandes, but he has staggering creative ability and put the ball on a plate time and time again for Rashford. If we had Haaland or Salah instead of Rashford last season they would have scored 50. Don't forget he played nearly 60 games last year. Rashford has ability. Silly to say otherwise, but his lack of defensive capabilities outweigh his attacking output IMO. So many goals we have conceded this year have been down our left side where the left back is doubled up on because Rashford won't track back, and when he does track back he doesn't even bother to get close to the opponent. Just look at the Barkley one against Luton, or even Quansah in the FA Cup quarter final which led to a goal. If I was offered Gordon for Rashford right now, I'd struggle to say no. I know quite a lot of us are hoping for a huge PSG bid in the summer as Garnacho is already a better player and players are being shifted out of their natural position to accomodate Rashford to the detriment of the team.
  7. Not an issue. Loophole where all that would be required is a shift in directors at Nice. This hit the mainstream news months ago and was rebuffed fairly quickly. The Sun on top of things as usual.

    I didn't watch it, was just reading through the comments here. Not entirely sure it can be attributed to bias as I watch him every week and can confirm the criticisms. His defensive work and game awareness are shocking. He's a player built on explosive match-winning ability, but I don't think he's a good enough match winner to build a team around.
  9. I was reading your battle against them in the "property of Saudi Arabia" thread. Was a great read.

    I would say there's the same buzz around Mainoo as there was around those two. Just a less glamorous position, but he's exciting on the ball as well. I feel like Mainoo has a higher ceiling than both of them. Higher than Rashford by some way. Greenwood, who knows.

    Genuine question, have you watched Mainoo play? He'll be a different level to Elliott but he's already a better player than him.
  12. Just make sure you're there for the Lockwood Cup this year so we can sample poorly travelled Guinness together.
