hard to tell I sometimes wonder too

but if i’m not mistaken benzema’s been barely playing for quite a large part of the season, I think he’s beefing with the manager or something and wants to leave elsewhere

so it’s difficult to compare with benzema’s case but for example Mitro came second after ronaldo and has scored 28 in 28 games which isn’t that far away from cristiano’s numbers tbf

all respect to mitro though, he’s a lethal striker and I think he would still be scoring at least 15+ goals a season in PL had he stayed at Fulham

but besides these two and benzema i don’t think anyone in saudi was really expected to pull off cristiano’s numbers, maybe mané but since he’s in the same team with ronaldo it’s a weird one to judge…. all in all i still think 35 goals from 31 games is a respectable effort and output from cristiano even though obviously the saudi league is laughable….

I guess we’ll have to see if it’s still enough to compete in Europe on a different level but I do think class is permanent when it comes to players like cristiano…. as long as he leaves his antics out of this i think he should be good.. i just really hope he leaves his recent saudi antics and bs away from this tournament and that playing on this level with the teammates he got in the NT and in front of amazing crowds will somehow re-ignite that spark in him even if it’s just for a few matches

it'll be a fun euros, Germany has good stadiums for atmosphere

They probably think they don’t have to say anything, which technically they don’t…he still has a year left on his deal just carry on as normal. Then come mid season (if we get that far) either he has earned a new deal or he gets the sack

If they make a statement I feel they have to either back him which means a new contract or sack him

Seeing a lot (!!) of talk online today's the day ETH goes

Just sell Rashford Sancho and Casemiro and problem solved

Lindelof and Dalot too that can fund his weekly bonus

Can’t believe i’m saying this, but not even the Glazers would’ve dragged it this long

Have a feeling ten Hag is getting sacked but they need a replacement in first. Why else would it take this long

AFAIK, the "he's getting sacked on Wednesday" thing originated from someone DM'ing a Ten Hag fan account on Twitter last week. Then, randomly, someone tweeted out yesterday "I wouldn't answer the phone tomorrow if I was Ten Hag" the Ten Hag fan account then brought attention to that tweet (which has since been deleted) by posting the screenshot of the DM and that's what got the ball rolling.

Then he posted more DM's that he got yesterday from the same guy:

tl;dr: nobody knows s*** imo.

They’re taking way too long about this ten hag getting sacked business, just keep him at this rate.

We need to be offloading Rashford and Casemiro ASAP before Olise is at Chelsea.

Apparently they want to extend Evans contract

We’re so cooked man. At this point I’m doubting whether this club will ever recover

INEOS on fire

England need to get knocked out of the Euros is why it's taking so long

Idk why they just let him stay for now. Tuchel and Southgate ain’t going nowhere, nobody wants those wasteman. Just sack ETH after the first inevitable 4-1 loss against Wolves or something

He's been class

makes sense to me, him and Heaton. Likeable lads, old heads with experience that wil cost pennies to keep around

Evans was our best cb this season, not sure if Martinez will stay fit, plus the fact we need to sign two cb as it is, aslong as he is last choice at best, I don’t see why not

They don't need to make a statement that he's staying

People expecting us to go out and build a new team in one window like this is fifa

Yeah as a 4th choice 36 year old he’s been decent, but I don’t think we’ve played one good game in which he was starting. Look at the massive difference Varane Martinez made in that final, that’s the difference between Maguire Evans Lindelof and actually good defenders.

We’re never getting back to the top if we have players like Evans playing 20 games a season. But you guys seem alright with that.

He's not meant to play 20 games a season. He wasn't signed to play 20 games a season.

Or actually do it for once?? The likes of City Arsenal Liverpool Chelsea have no problem getting rid of their deadwood, but apparently we think we’re playing FIFA career mode when we want to get rid of McTominay Lindelof Maguire Eriksen Antony and Evans.

Only at United you have to have at least 3 mid seasons before you can get sold

And what if our centrebacks get prolonged injuries again??? There is a legitimate chance he has to play 20 games next season again with injury prone Martinez. And with him staying it gives us even less incentive for us to sign another centreback.

This argument is so incredibly dense.

It's June 5th Marble, we all know they are going to sign a centre back, possibly two.

I’m onna rant now, but we’ll end up signing a centreback a back up striker and a midfielder this summer and some of yall will be okay with it. Because hey it isn’t FIFA career mode! Plus we kept all these amazing back up options w the likes of Evans Amrabat Eriksen and McTominay!

I’ve come to the sad realisation that the LUHG folk were kinda right, our fans have very little standards

The league ended 3 weeks ago. He’s not getting sacked this summer lol
