Because every other midfielder ended up at J Medical and this guy stays fit. I don’t think we can stomach another season of watching Bentancur and Rabiot playing together. They both lack any kind of urgency, can’t smell danger, dwell on the ball too long and make clumsy fouls. We may be able...

Also, using Danilo as a centre mid means we have to see Alex Sandro moving in treacle for 90 minutes and De Sciglio’s face. Shouldn’t need another reason to stop doing it.

Continuation of last season. Every opponent can pass through us and has a clear game plan where they know their next pass. We look up, pass to Dybala or Cuadrado, the opponent gets back into shape and then there is no plan after that so someone sticks a looping cross into the box. Max may have...

First time I can recall us playing a 4312. Not convinced we have midfielders intelligent enough to carry it out. McKennie isn’t a 10. I would take him on an bring on someone to play on the left.

It’s tough to think about other clubs when our own line up currently feels so muddled. If that’s what you call fragility then that’s where I am.

I suppose a lot of people will mock this stance. However, Baggio brought me to follow Juventus as a child and although he only stayed about 5 years, I like many more around the world followed the club ever since. Ronaldo could have a similar smaller effect on a cohort of people.

Why do we care?

The fact it happened so late in the transfer window where it appears he showed more desperation than at the start of the window. This leaves us looking like amateurs scrambling for a last minute solution and going into a season expecting an up and down Morata and Dybala’s unknown fitness levels...

a) there is a big difference between 30 million and 160 million b) My post on our poor handling of the situation is not on accepting an offer, but on allowing it to happen in the final few days of the transfer window with no replacement or plan with the usual statement a week before that he is...

We come out of this looking shit IMO. All that work in raising our profile with the continual league success, progressed into a world renowned back line, to the champions league finals, to the big purchase of Ronaldo and then De Ligt, to now looking like amateurs in the way this has been dealt...

One should not underestimate the power of moussa Sissoultrain. We could field a world class midfield trio of Ramsey, moussa and Bernard.

Seems to be the case with our whole collection of left footed players who are allergic to using their right foot for anything other than standing on.

Get those knees taped up and those weak wrists reinforced, hopefully it’s time.

Might as well go the whole hog and say CR7 and Texas boy for Kane.

Can’t really pin the result on Allegri. He shouldn’t have used all 3 subs at once - he noted that he needs to learn here, but it was absurdly warm and the 1st game so natural to feel the need to bring on fresh legs. Stuck largely to what he did in the pre-season games showing continuity. It’ll...

Ramsey and De Ligt do make errors leading up to the penalty incident, however spilling the ball with hard hands and then the rash nature of compounding that first error with another one makes the goalkeeping error far worse IMO.

Bernatar changed.

Wish tek would piss off. But someone gave him a 6.5 million contract that no other club in the world would even think about giving him. His lazy attitude, him smiling when he concedes goals or makes a mistake (of which they are frequent), his arrogance when he plays with the ball at his feet...

I think he knows his limitations and therefore tries to minimise the risk in his passing. Some of his mistakes have come from playing him in a regista position and he is not comfortable picking the ball up on the full or half turn - Allegri will help here. Other mistakes have come from a lack...

Understandably the only player we have in midfield that anyone would be interested in buying.
