villa89 Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 I think mount is decent player but nothing special. He isn't worth 300k per week or £60m and that is what people will judge him on. He'll be an improvement on mcfred but he won't be Paul scholes or Roy Keane. The United fans will think he's not good enough for them because they're delusional about their status in English football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isnt a centre midfielder though, Chelsea never really played him that position and when he did he looked crap. Fred is miles better than Mount Mount chips in with the odd goal, presses well and is decent at set pieces....thats it, he doesnt offer much more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a lot of enthusiasm for PL football. Is it pent-up demand or sustainable? Makes me wonder if owners have ever thought of relocating clubs internationally or having two separate homes. There was a game a few years back that was 100,000. I’m thinking it was Real Madrid versus United but could be wrong. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what would be more damaging is if utd push for their image rights in computer games, they had a whinge at FM due to their greed If they don't have their official stuff on FM, the new EA non fifa game etc (not sure on the new pro evo whatever that's now called) it could end up disastrous, not sure ifEA release info on who players play as but I get the feeling utd have a decent percentage of global fans who don't actually watch them they just support them through FUT, social media and merchandise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Real Madrid must be just ahead of them by now or at the very least on a par with them. They haven't been a big player since Fergie left, in the same way that they were not after Matt Busby left, hopefully there is no Fergie waiting in the wings this time.

villa4europe Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 Man City overtook them last year (thanks to their questionable deals no doubt) Not really talked about but I'd guess that was the final nail in Woodwards coffin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I heard the PL wants to hold some regular season matches in the USA. As an American, I actually hate this idea. Not only does it deprive season ticket holders, it completely alters the feel of what has made English football so appealing to the world in the first place, even if it's the odd game over the course of the season.
