Trying to end it with a sarcastic comment??
Okay then, fair enough, let's leave it and move on then. Quote:
I honestly don't know how to respond to this, so it's probably best that I don't. That doesn't look like sarcasm to me.
Beyond words. |

Took Alan Green 16 minutes to mention the transfer story on Five Live.
'If Pogba ends up at Old Trafford for 100m, should Sir Alex Ferguson be made to pay part of it because he left him go?' 16 minutes. As long as that he waited to put the boot in. |

Schweinsteiger playing well so far, hopefully we get to see this side of him more often next season.

We have. I was just pointing out that there wasn't sarcasm, despite you saying otherwise.

I have news for you too. Sadly in recent years the money has exceeded the commitment and ability that should go with it. I could be wrong but I doubt very much that Eric was ever thinking about his pay, transfer fee or agents commision when he turned his collar up.
Cantona may not have been motivated by cash as there wasn't the same money in the game in the early 90s but lets not pretend he arrived at Old Trafford because of a love for Man Utd. Having pissed off most of France during his career he outstayed his welcome at Leeds as well and he was a player on the outside. He came to Man Utd as a player with few options and much as he did love the club he also handed in a transfer request too. All Im saying is lets not suggest that players all played for the love of the game back then just because the sums of money involved weren't as large as they are now. Gazza turned his back on Man Utd for the price of a modest house. |

For that reason I'd be happy for us to sell him. Looks like a completely different player - very VERY clear that he is at United for the pay cheque and nothing else. He is fully committed to Germany and not at all to us. |

He's been excellent overall in the Euros.

I don't think that commitment really comes into it. Sure, he probably lifts himself a little more when playing for his country, but he's been hampered by injuries, and the Premier League is pretty physical.
He's also not had too much movement in front of him, when he has managed a few games. All if which suggests or lends itself to giving him another try. |

Yeah along with a few other clubs, that competition is looking a bit doomed before it even gets underway.

'A few other clubs' = 'Tottenham'. City and Liverpool are expected to withdraw, but haven't confirmed.
Either way, it does not look good for the trophy if so many clubs, and big ones, are looking to not actively participate in it. |

I can see Woodie targetting Griezmann next season as his big muppet signing.

Either him or Aubamayang would make sense if Ibra is only here for the single season.

I'd be surprised if we went for another striker. We have Ibrahimovic, Marital, Rashford, Rooney plus we've added Mkhitaryan who's handy in front of goal, as theoreticaly is Memphis.
