I'll bet Wolves are relieved they don't have to face Mikel Arteta's young guns. Absolutely flying now, and really starting to look like a team. With every passing week it's becoming clear that we won the summer transfer window. By some distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I think they'll be looking at their post-poned games and think: oh shit, we still have to play those. I'll be the EPL won't finish in May. Further more, I think EPL clubs will returns to five subs under those circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spockydog Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Qatar makes things tricky. It will be interesting to see what happens if many more games are lost to Covid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse Named Stranger Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Qatar is a problem for next season. Primary concern for the league and clubs is finishing this season. It's very unlikely that can be done before June. Yes, there'll be a ripple effect with players returning after a shortened off-season. But that's another problem for another season. There'll be more post-ponements coming in January (maybe even February). When do you want to play those with CL and EL fixtures also taking place?

Spockydog Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Ah, for some reason I thought they'd moved it forward, not back. As you were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Martial wants out I see. Hope he ends up somewhere he can settle- he did the dogwork for us when we needed it and somewhat broke his own game in doing so, and we've just not had the space in the team for him to work back to what he's actually best at. Right time for it, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 This feels a bit weird. Normally Newcastle going ahead early against United would be very entertaining and Saint-Maximin is always fun but they’re evil now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soylent Brown Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 True, but even if Ultimate Turbo Hitler bought a club, I'd still enjoy it if United lost to them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polishgenius Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Seems like the player we need to buy to fix our midfield issues is Joelinton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mormont Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Hey, at this point in time, Newcastle are going down. There's simply no amount of money in the world that's going to save them. So it's OK to root for them to take points off clubs you dislike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmanion Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Newcastle looked better against United but they need some better players in defence they need new players and early in the January window even with their spending power they look like they are going down. Either way if they spend their way out of relegation or if they go down after finally getting their takeover it will be funny to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right time for it, really. Most likely Sevilla. Reports that they are preparing a loan offer. That was not good. We don't look quite as open defensively but the overall standard of play is still well below par. We've just got outplayed by the two worst teams in the league in our last two games.

Consigliere Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Reports that United have rejected Sevilla's loan offer - reported to be an offer to pay 50% of his wages, no loan fee and no option to buy. Apparently United are quite happy to keep Martial for the rest of the season and will not entertain any loan offers that don't include a loan fee + paying full wages.

baxus Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I'm not following United that much, but I doubt that getting rid of 50% of Martial's wages would even put a dent in their overall expenses. Losing a player for that much is not worth the bother for them really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soylent Brown Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Players that are stupid enough to kick their penalties at the keeper should not be allowed to take penalties. Useless fucking dimwit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hits way too many of them centrally. Usually they go in anyway, but once you're relying on the keeper diving out of the way, it's not really a good penalty. At the moment, I'd be fine with Salah and Mane going to AFCON early, because they've both been fucking shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
