Do you think like Ten Hag that having no European football is good, because then you will certainly get players that don't care so much about European trophies, but just want to join United?
Nice response, I basically didn't do anything more than enforce your own post.Realistically, I don't think many players want to just play for United for the love of it. Just academy players in the modern game. Yeah, guys like Olise are United fans but if we are not competing for anything, even they will ambitions for bigger clubs.
There's a balance somewhere, you don't want has-beens like Casemiro wanting their final paycheque but you also don't want mediocre players like Dan James.
Even the likes of Rio said, he anticipated being at United for 3 years max but a good culture, management, trophies and direction is what keeps players. I hope for a better culture with the new boardroom staff and ownership but let's see.
If you're lucky you sign players who just have an enormous passion for your club like Lisandro Martinez but this is rare, I don't think many players join for the badge or even play for the badge, they join for the opportunity and the culture of the club is what gets the buy-in. The other thing is we lose a lot of revenue from missing out on Champions League.
Almost certainly will. They've been truly abysmal. They actually should be grateful to Arsenal, City and Liverpool even to an extent as well as Chelsea's moronic spending for keeping the interest spread so that all of the PL world isn't keying in on this being their worst ever PL season as much as they could be. If ourselves and Liverpool had just let City waltz to another title early, I think the scrutiny would be even worse because there would really be nothing else to talk about.United could actually finish in 8th place and with a negative goal difference
It’s hard for me to answer this since this is my first time feeling no European football. Let me ask the expert such a yourself who had experienced no European football before, what do you think?Do you think like Ten Hag that having no European football is good, because then you will certainly get players that don't care so much about European trophies, but just want to join United?
And how is an Arsenal fan "an expert in experiencing no European football"? Do you watch football, or understand words?It’s hard for me to answer this since this is my first time feeling no European football.

Relax, I was just teasing you.And how is an Arsenal fan "an expert in experiencing no European football"? Do you watch football, or understand words?
From my experience I can say that when Arsenal was in the true banter era (even with 4 FA Cup wins in a decade), I was horrified. I didn't know if Arsenal will fall, no matter how big club it is.
I can only imagine your fear. United is bigger because of Ferguson's success, but like I said, it can't be taken as a given.
I'm not horrified anymore. I hope Arsenal gives Arteta at least a 3-year contract.
If you know winners like Ferguson, you know the clinic you were put into this time. A 0-1 clinic.Considering the lineup we put in, at least we didn’t get the 8-2 treatment.
I didn’t know arsenal can be this kind, now I know. That’s why we love to be in Arsenal Mania @Juan Matas Beard. Surrounded by kind people.
I forgot about that. Give me some slack will ya, it was 10 years ago. My memory ain’t that good especially the moyes era.@UnitedBeard
Will this really be your first year without European football...where you not a fan in 2014/2015 after Moyseh fuxked you the year before?
How young are you ffs...Christ have I been getting in online fights with a literal kid
Lies you bet the opposing debater doesn't check.I forgot about that. Give me some slack will ya, it was 10 years ago. My memory ain’t that good especially the moyes era.
There's a balance somewhere, you don't want has-beens like Casemiro, Schweinsteiger or Varane wanting their final paycheque but you also don't want mediocre players like Dan James or Fred.

Hojlund is still young, so it’s too early to judge but at the moment he’s not in the level where the top club wants to reach. A top club striker will want at least a striker who can hold the ball and doesn’t let defenders to out-strength you easily. Hojlund is currently just a striker who has pace, aggression, and work rate. He has talent and it will need time.I think their biggest weaknesses are at fullback and striker.
Hojlund is just nothing special, no speed, skill, ability to even hold up the ball. I just don't see it with him, I think even if you played Antonio for example for a whole season upfront he would score 13-18 goals in that team. Guys like Solanke, Wilson, that ilk would score a fair amount.
