How do you turn down that which was never offered? no manager in the world is picking united over Liverpool right now
Your claim of "loyalty" is bullshit. It's the exact reason I don't idolize players or coaches. Dude went to London to try and call LFC's bluff. Clearly, he's trying to do what's best for him. If there was a legitimate offer from a big club in the summer, he'd be gone. Period. Nobody is loyal.
Wow you guys are sounding like bitter Benfica fans. Been there myself . Yes he did turn down Liverpool . The unfortunate reality of being successful in Portugal is having the big teams raiding our teams .
Lmao you are delusional. Do a quick search my guy, Slot was always the first option. I don’t know why you are so obsessed with this fiction. Every single person on this forum, including a benfica fan, is telling you that you are wrong. But I guess you know better. Even if the fact that he was never offered a Liverpool contract wasn’t literally published thousands of times, you still haven’t answered: why did he turn down Liverpool (and, according to you, City) at the end of the year just to take on united 10 games in to the season? Does that make any sense at all to you? Turn down two extremely well off clubs in the hopes that a shambles of a united club would offer him a contract 10 games in? Cmon man…
I don’t know, why would he fly out to England ? To be embarrassed ? No something was promised by Liverpool but when it came to signing the contract , something was pulled off the table . Not my opinion , just what I read from those that know more than we do . Anyway I wish him well .
He flew out to England to call LFC's bluff and he looked like a dumbass doing it when it turned at there was no bluff: LFC never seriously considered Amorim and never made an offer. Meeting with West Ham was done to put pressure on LFC and see how real their interest was.
Lmao no. This is not an agree to disagree situation. You are blatantly, objectively and categorically incorrect. Why is it so important to you that he rejected Liverpool? I really don’t get it? No doubt Liverpool looked at him, as should any well run club doing their due diligence, but they only offered a contract to Slot. He flew to England to meet with West Ham, not Liverpool. Hence why he went to London, not Liverpool. He rejected West Ham, not Liverpool. There’s no debate here. I’m genuinely curious what you’ve been reading, because it does seem odd that people who follow Sporting very closely have not managed to come across the same reports as you.
I apologize , my recollection was off . I stand corrected . He did fly to England for West ham . I got the two situations mixed up
Oh yeah we won a game today too, another 2 goals from Gyokeres including a banger free kick But nobody seems to care , all eyes were on the press conference, where he confirmed United were interested but he hasn't decided... That's what I understand anyways Good on the club though for releasing the statement earlier and basically washing their hands of all this, I hope we squeeze every last penny out of them. I'm afraid we might see an exodus though in January or summer, I think it's a given Gyokeres leaves with or without Amorim, but other key players may force their way out
Looks like Varandas wants him to stay until the next international break which includes games against E. Amadora, Man City and Braga. Even if they pay the release clause, theres a 30 day notice period which he can serve.
Yesterday was the first direct free kick we have scored in almost 4 years! Wow that is crazy! Yup sounds like we are holding firm on the 30 day clause he has in his buyout...and we want a couple mil more to let the assistant coaches he wants to take out of their contracts.
Gyokeres and Hjulmand saved us from an otherwise lackluster performance, everything seemed a bit weird. Kinda ready to move on from all this
Official: Ruben Amorim joins Manchester United Both clubs issued statements confirming that he will join United on November 11th, when the international break begins. He will coach our team for the next 3 matches (Estrela Amadora, Man City, Braga)
If we can hold on to the squad until the end of the season I don't see why we can't win the title again, but I'm very fearful of January, some club will come with 100m for Gyokeres
Let's hope Varandas has cojones to stand up to the player and his agent, I'm willing to bet he'll want to leave if a big club bids even 60 or 70 mill
I would be shocked if any team out there have enough ffp space in January to make that happen . More than likely players like Trincao cost level would go . Man U has a cheap buy by clause for our Left back . That is more likely to happen imo . Sporting will be fine to end of year . Next summer ? Rape of players for sure
Terrible start down 0-1 on a terrible give away by Morita...and then Vik misses a breakaway all alone from the center line
