“I want to compete for titles”

People having same sort of debates with rice linked with arsenal. No question bigger (big big club) but "I want to win it all" surely you need Liverpool, city or at a push man united for that

I agree.

Might win a few cups over a long stint at Arsenal but if he wants real success then he needs to look elsewhere IMO.

Newcastle won’t sit still… they won’t accept not progressing year on year. (Although I’d say they’ll be happy with a few years of CL qualification as they overachieved a bit this year/ did better than anyone expected)

I do find Declan is all brand rice tho, he had known for over a year he wants out (which is entirely understandable and acceptable) but don't give it the I want to win the lot and that I love the fans and west ham is the best place nobody beats these fans

It's all a show

Why? He is one of the best commentators out there, one of the last old school guys.

Because he is awful , old school is perfect example of him - still stuck in the 90’s

Who do you like of the modern ones? They love the sound of their own voices too much.

Neither on sky though, I like both incidentally. When Tyler goes, who comes in? Most of the new era are painful imo.

Please, not Darren Fletcher from BT Sport. I used to like him, but he has developed an awful tendency to be swayed far too much by his co-commentators. And given the fact many of those he currently works with are dreadful, it really impacts on some of the garbage Fletcher himself now comes out with.

I shudder to think how he would perform with the likes of Carragher sat alongside him.

Looks like Darren Fletcher ( who is a technical director at Utd) is pushing for his twins to move to Utd when they turn 17 in March. They have been at the City academy for a few years and are highly rated. The odd thing is that one has played for England and one for Scotland and they have played against each other.
They are not the only kids of Utd p,Ayers that have been at Citys academy. Others include the kids of Robin Van Persia, Phil Neville and Rooney .

Steal one of them from BT Sport and bring over Beglin

Man Utd reported to be looking into a £45 million bid for Pickford. Surely there's a better keeper out there for that sort of money.

I’ll be honest, when it comes to United I stopped believing the press rumours years ago. Most of them are absolute drivel.

The one at Inter Milan for a start, a good keeper who is very comfortable with the ball at his feet.

I’m surprised if Man Utd aren’t looking at Onana , was with Ten Hag at Ajax and is the sort of keeper that suits his style , Pickford also does but kit at £45mil ?!?
