Personally I think his tackling is awful. I'm sure he wins a lot but he tries to win everything. Constantly sliding into challenges and taking himself out of the game.
Bluemoon goes into Meltdown

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.

This. It's good to watch when it comes off, but every tackle he makes seems to be a slide, and he doesn't win them all. He looks daft when it doesn't come off, and the opposing player is behind him with the ball whilst he lays on the floor.
They do seem to take issue with United having followers abroad, but have no issue with a financial doping sugar daddy from the UAE buying them shiny handbags and Christian Louboutins.
I thought this was pretty funny though
He's on less than 200. The German press reported €10m which got translated to £10m by the Star.
Fair enough. Good point that of taking himself out of the game with pointless slides. Although he averages more tackles than any other centerback in the league this season tackling is just a small part of a defenders game. I believe it was Rio that said that the best defensive display is when you don't have to make a single tackle. Positioning is way more important and Maldini was the master at it.
The shit stream joke is quite funny tbf.
Announcing Guardiola mid season was fecking stupid. It's completely derailed their season IMO.
Of course its an assumption, nobody knows for sure.
It's likely that he's going to leave Everton next season andCity is the most logical choice given the size of money involved, the step up needed to justify the fee and the long term ambition and playing time.
I personally hope we don't get him as Smalling has cemented that right side of CB and wouldn't want to pay that much for him.
If Jose rocks up here in the summer, we might well put a bid in for him.
Yes they primarily are but they will not be the ones solely identifying players. I agree our recent transfer record is patchy at best. The only successful signings of the Pellegrini era I'd say are de Bruyne, Demichelis (our best defender for about 12 months) and Fernandinho (+ Iheanacho seemingly). Negredo was excellent before his injury and still helped us hugely in our league win, plus we sold him for a profit. Sterling needs to be assessed in a couple of seasons, at the moment the signs are positive if a little underwhelming. Guardiola will hopefully have more success, attracting even bigger names and improving our current players too.
I don't buy that. They were already ripe with speculation before they made the announcement. The Chelsea players will continue to play for Hiddink even though they know he will be gone in the summer.
Its possible but again unlikely, as Jose was bidding for Stones for the Chelsea squad to replace Terry.
Stones isn't going to displace Smalling, isn't comfortable on the left side of CB, and we still have options in Rojo, Jones, McNair, TFM etc.
That was entirely Pellegrini's doing. I do not think it is an adequate excuse personally, our form was shit before it and it's the same problems that are plaguing our game. Injuries, under-performing players and tactical naivety domestically are what's cost us this year.
The man we should be going all out for is Laporte IMO.
Well as long as he doesn't know where you live, you should be safe.
Aye, but some poor Mumbai fecker is probably going to get cry wank murdered.
Care to elaborate on why the claim that injuries have impacted negatively on City's season is so hilarious?
You haven't factored in contractually mandated birthday cakes.
@BobbyManc, where is your source for these wage bills?

Who said they were?
Bluemoon/RAWK.
He seemed to go a bit wonky after the run of games he was facing in the two weeks, and that team he put out against Chelsea was a proper tantrum act.
But to be fair, as far as his CV is concerned, a high CL finish/final will look better than a top 4 PL finish. As long as he was out of the title race, why should he give a rats ass about CL qualification next year?
If Jose comes, I think Rojo, Jones, and McNair will be shipped out.
They're an angry bunch on bluemoon. I was bored earlier this week and wanted to see some bitterness so went to RAWK but there wasn't any, luckily bluemoon was there to provide plenty.
What is their obsession with our media coverage? I swear if you keyword search 'rag media coverage' on bluemoon, you'd come up with about six thousand hits.
Literally every other page in their United thread is someone ranting about United's media coverage.
Are we?
Forgive us for getting excited about an 18 year old scoring 4 goals in his first two games for the club in a clusterfeck of a season.
erm, okay...
Always so upset...
Yeah funny bunch, their United thread is hilariously bitter and angry, sometimes I forget the damage all those years did, I sometimes feel bad and wish I could give them hugs so they weren't all angry but they'd probably just tell me "feck off you rag cnut go back to mumbai" or something like that.

It used to be 'feck off back to Surrey' in my day. We have moved on.
Yeah, but he'll probably end up tracking down some unsuspecting poor sod in Mumbai and overwhelm him with all the petals in the world.
Might be because our injuries are so woeful, that it's funny seeing other fans talk about their team's injuries as a hindrance when compared to us.
Both those players could have won trophies with big clubs around europe in much nicer climates than the North West of England.
So it's likely City paid them and their clubs a lot more money than was on offer from the other clubs who were after them. Which is fair enough for the most part.
"I've been furious earlier this season, but now it's just depressing. Losing has become a habit this season. Summer can't come soon enough. I just hope we can squeeze through with 4th place.
End of an era. Bring on Pep. Bring on the new badge."
The best word I can say to describe this is....."BOOM!" hahaha

Wow i have heard a lot about you. Frankly I thought you were a myth like chupacabra that people claim exists but actually don't.
THAT'S the best they came up with for Memphis Depay?
In my day it was London (90's)
At least they're acknowledging the global spread of a United fan.
Aye.The place is void of any sort of humour.
Good!
It's been a very strange season mate. All of the top clubs have been fecking shite. A consistent City, Arsenal or United would be walking the league this year.
It is funny, but I saw someone say it on here last season and it's not a surprise that stalker has stolen it
