Single-handedly lost the league for Liverpool. “He spread it out on the table and began to read out one ‘fact’ after another. Rafa kept saying ‘fact... fact... fact...’ and I could not believe what I was hearing. I was grabbing the couch, digging my fingers into the arms, feeling embarrassed for him. “When I met up with England all the Manchester United players told me Fergie was just laughing at Rafa, saying: ‘I’ve got him. I’ve got him.’" yeah, Liverpool couldn't win footie matches because Rafa had a rant. And you think Rafa is the stupid one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly common knowledge that 09/10 was difficult behind closed doors. He didn't lose the dressing room like Mourinho last season mind you. 10 minutes ago, eFestivals said: he sold Alonso just as they were about to win the title? I must have missed that.

Even if it is true how could you put it down to one rant. I suspect if managers do lose their players it's a cumulative effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetime Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) Another awful signing if true, another over inflated ego on huge wages. United should be buying young hungry footballers, not 34 year olds. I've heard people comparing it to cantona, cantona was 26 when we signed him.

I'll take a guess that Mendez is his agent and its a required deal to get Moaniho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nal Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Don't see the downside here? Season or two in him. Easy. Hes still shit hot. As good as ever. Martial and Rashford playing beside him, learning. Genuine world class player, free transfer, and people think its a bad signing?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's necessarily a bad signing, but I don't see it as a necessary signing or one that works in the best longer term interests of the club.

zahidf Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 zatlan is definitely not going to be able to play all the games and he is very pricy. and god knows if he can handle a more robust league. could go either way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetime Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Just reeks of a man Utd signing of the last few years. Of the peg signing without any thought going into it, for example Di Maria/scweinsteiger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaosmark2 Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 Nah, I think Zlatan could be a good signing, but wages depends. Main thing is if it's a typical signing for Man U, or just one older player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played 51 games last season. Scored 50 goals. Also played every game for Sweden with a 1 goal per game ratio. Nearly 60 games last season. Hes one of the best players in the world.

WS_Jack_III Posted May 26, 2016 Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) Zlatan and Jose is surely way too much ego for one club? Edit: were they both at Inter at the same time? Edited May 26, 2016 by WS_Jack_III Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether down to a failiure to adapt to British life or LVG not getting the best out of him, it didn't work. As a neutral you want Ibra in the premiership. For all the entertainment, I'm not sure there has ever been such a dull group of footballers in England's top league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
