Well it's not like their usual show is full of great info and analysis. Using the stats from FM is probably more accurate than listening to their pundits talk about new signings from other leagues, that they have watched a 10 min youtube highlight video of. In the end it's all the same result. It's shit.
By FortuneFaded Go To PostKeys is a a Cov fan so I have to defend him.
no, no you don't
I don't defend Dynamo
Donny fans don't defend the kid from One Direction
gooners didn't defend Bin Laden
By Meus Renaissance Go To PostWhat happened to Marko Marin? Guy barely played.
Turned out the German Messi was a bit shit. He was loaned out to several clubs, for example Fiorentina where he played all of 2 matches for a whole season. Now he is at Anderlecht.
Mane would be a solid signing. Nothing more nothing less. Would make united a little more dynamic on the wings which they need bad.
Chelsea are signing Pedro
Oh god
Absolutely sensational
I'm sorry Man Utd bros, they're assholes aren't they

By Ushojax Go To PostImagine replacing a CL winner like Di Maria with Sadio Mane. It's a bit sad.Di Maria is inconsistent
the difference in quality between the two is small imo

Again, players who want to play for Man Utd > players who don't want to play for Man Utd.
Mane beats Di Maria every time.
I think Mane is a good signing, I like what I've seen of him and think he will eventually become a key player for United. Sure he's no Bale, but what are United fans expecting...

That's one pedantic team.
So what's the verdict on Rooney after last night? Couldn't watch the game and every highlight vid on youtube is just a Van Gaal interview troll. Seeing the stats he made some shots at goal atleast but can't make an assumption.
If we bought Mane from Sporting or PSV everyone would be like "ooh fresh young talent from the continent"

Better than the last two games. Made some decent runs, showed a bit of endeavour, but still not good enough.

If you signed him from those teams, people would either say "who" or say "i watched this 7 min youtube video and he looks good, he's going to be great if played at CB".

About that...
Mane isn't a bad player at all. I think he can do just as well as Di Maria if given the chances, but there's no question he's not even 1/10th the star power. He seems more like a Spurs or Liverpool signing than a Utd signing.

Ahh thank you, now the million dollar/pound/euro question if he can repeat it versus a higher quality of opposition. Brugge isn't a bad team but reading up and seeing they lost 5 starters to injury. I hope Rooney makes good this weekend though, always liked him even though he's getting a little long on the tooth and bald up top.

I'm fed up of star player signings. Darmian and Schneiderlin weren't; people are pretending on twitter we've signed mid table dross and its just concerning how many people seem to know fuck all about the sport.
I'm genuinely serious. If I hadn't joined GAF and found you lads I'd be lost in a sea of one club forums and United sycophants and morons who know nothing

That's pretty much it. A couple of months ago United were telling everyone they wanted Bale/Muller/Kane quality signings. Mane is a decent player but a clear downgrade in status from the players they thought they could buy earlier in the summer.
That said, I think he will do very well there. He'll be much more useful than someone like Herrera.

Don't think he'll be a bad player for you, just funny after a summer of hearing how Woodward is going to sign a superstar you end up with Mane.
May end up being the right decision, but that doesn't mean we can't laugh at it now.
Mane's not a star name, but I think he'll come good for United.
He offers the team an injection of pace and spontaneity which is something I think they still desperately lack.

Fair enough. Just this pervading notion by some that we should only be in for superstars.

By Carbonox Go To Posthow is doicare these days
did he make the great mediterranean swim to slaent
Popped up early doors and then I think everyone had him on ignore lol
doicare is great because every time he posts it's a statistic involving Phil Jones, and I think it's great that someone somewhere is looking out for good old Phil

Mane is quality. His ceiling is easily as high as Pedro's current level if not higher. He took some time to adjust to the league and can still be a tad inconsistent but he really makes things happen. That being said I can't see us selling this summer and if we did it would be more than Pedro just went for.
Been busy at work today, here's my take:
Pedro. Did he really want to come? The straight answer is no. He said as much himself, he didmt want to leave Barca, but he felt he had to because he wasn't going to get the game time he wanted.
Mane. Good player. Not got the star power, never going to be a world class player, but looking at him I can see why Van Gaal thinks he might be a good fit. Would have to wait and see.
The reaction on Twitter etc is ridiculous. We are Manchester United. We are the greatest club in the world. We win where other teams would find it impossible. We won the champions league with Anderson playing centre mid. We won the title with a team made out of dross. Give us 11 players with the quality of Mane and we'd make the champions league. Give us Mane alongside Mata and Memphis and Rooney and we'll win the title. Then next year we will prepare again, bring in a couple more players, and then, in 2017, we shall be champions of Europe again. There does not exist a team that can stop us. We are Manchester United. We have never lost a game, only ever run out of time. We shall be victorious once more.
