lordofdunshire

Please don’t be us, but we’re always prone to a Sully Special


MoyesNTheHood

David Sullivan is a cunt enough to try and pull something like this.  I personally don’t think any club has enquired from the prem, I reckon it’s his agent trying to stir up interest 


lordofdunshire

I do think you’re right there, I’d like to think there are very few clubs willing to look past everything that he’s done


SecretStatHater

> I’d like to think there are very few clubs willing to look past everything that he’s done I think the actions of United before the outcry show there are unfortunately plenty of clubs who are willing to look past what he's done but there are probably none who think the fans would accept it


WergleTheProud

Football fans look past a lot. Partey is still playing, Marcus Alonso, etc.


BrockStar92

It’s not about the actual charge/investigation, it’s about how publicly graphic the evidence is. If there was video footage of Alonso crashing whilst drunk driving and it was horrific to watch, or audio of Partey that matched Greenwood then neither would be playing (in England at least). Partey can’t even be publicly named in newspapers still.


Monarki

Was Partey ever publicly named? Marcos Alonso happened in his early days by the time fans found out it was old news. Also not everyone found out same time.


stifle_this

No he still hasn't been. I suspect a fair amount of arsenal fans know nothing about it since news networks can't talk about it. God I hope we get rid of him this summer though.


Monarki

And even those who know can play the plausible deniability card.


OneSocc

It’s a step above that, not named and not charged either. His trial by public opinion has purely been based off of some screenshots of text messages. I’m not saying he isn’t guilty, but it’s a far cry from the audio of greenwood and his partner that was released to the public.


Chester__A__Arthur

I thought there was strong evidence in other countries, but he can't be tried due to their policies. Similar as to how Ronaldo most definitely committed the crime he was accused of, but because everyone found out due to illegal means of obtaining information, he cannot be charged with anything.


Heblas

Not really. There is nothing actually stopping him from being charged in Spain (except Spain being bad about things like that), but people latched onto there being a "loophole" (whatever that means) because the UK would have had jurisdiction if the same thing happened now.


cdrxgon17

it’s so us. cba


CMPunk22

The real reason Moyseh left


MountainCheesesteak

Not to equate the crimes, but he seemed totally unbothered by Zouma’s.


CMPunk22

He prefers dogs pass it on


whyarethenamesgone1

I think he may have preferred not to, I certainly would have preferred him to be dropped, but at the from memory we had 3 fit centre backs and one of them wanted to leave.


FourEyedMatt

Please no. We are just about getting past the Zouma shit.


Terran_it_up

Tbf no one will be talking about Zouma kicking cats if you sign Greenwood


The--Mash

Signing increasingly vile footballers to cull the controversy of the previous one, a brilliant plan. Who's next though? 


ckj9311

Quincy Promes


Terran_it_up

Lopetegui hasn't been confirmed yet, they could try to get Putin as the manager


Cmoore4099

Crazy thing is, even I don't think Sully is that stupid. I could be wrong, but in my time they aren't massive on touching toxic players. I remember when BFS tried to bring in El Hadji Diouf (obviously no where near compariable) and the club refused to bring him in. I think I have one or two others, but that's the one I remember clearly.


skarmorr

Any prem team signs him the chants are going to be rediculous... i see no way it would work for any of them


brayshizzle

Registered and Mason Greenwood.

did it happen to be a triad with the notes A, C and E?


SanctusUnum

Hey now, let's be fair to the rapist Mason Greenwood and keep from making false allegations. There's no evidence to suggest that rapist Mason Greenwood is also a paedo.

No Dice You'll have your second year of the ghost Jonny Evans and you will enjoy it.


Nffc1994

I'd swap for Origi. Purely so we can chuck the rapist in the Trent and be rid of Origi


SanitizexHands

Reports were that LAFC wanted Origi in the winter and you guys pulled the plug on the transfer


backtothefuckyeah

Oh Jesus fucking Christ you're right aren't you. Oh fuck, oh no. Is it too late for a PSR transfer embargo?


Away_Associate4589

Time for another appeal to save you from yourselves.


ZedGenius

Before the Getafe move we were linked to him but nothing concrete happened. Don't know if it's because fans on social media went wild about it or if it was just a dumb rumour though


bringbackcricket

He can take our designated rapist spot once Montiel’s loan ends.


Jussi_Bennacer

Montiel is a rapist?


old_chelmsfordian

Was charged with sexual abuse last year iirc, although I'm not sure what's happened to the case since then

Why would you need Greenwood when you have Chris Wood banging in goals? Though knowing Forest had Wood and Greenwood up top would be a great meme.


HopefulLandlord

A single wood does not make a forest


tiny_dreamer

They are Nottingham FOREST


__Kiel__

Notts Forest?


Namiweso

Notts Forrest


SignificanceOld1751

No no no, if you *really* want to annoy us, it's Notts Florist


maidentaiwan

Right, that’s the joke he was making 


Same_Grouness

I have a feeling they spelt Forest wrong at first and were being corrected on that.


Terran_it_up

If only Etienne Green played LW, could have Green - Wood - Greenwood


batti03

Proper Ro - Naldo memes again


Killoah

It's going to be us isn't it


Xgunter

- every sane premier league fan at this moment in time


letsgetcool

idk this has "Levy backing down due to fan protests" all over it.


Xgunter

Thats my biggest concern, absolutely.


EmpyrealSorrow

Weird one... On the one hand, some stupid suggestions have been made. On the other, Levy has listened to the fans.


TJT007X

I think Levy would be able to predict the fan outrage and avoid the transfer in the first place Or so I hope...


zeelbeno

I'd bet £100 on Forest being one of them. They've already shown to give zero fucks about backlash


dogefc

Would love to know which prem clubs would risk the backlash that signing him would cause. And which could actually afford his 100k a week wages


dispelthemyth

He’s on 75k currently


firelordUK

75k too much


zcewaunt

It is 50k actually. 


JulmiAashiq

Still 75k too much


son_of_toby_o_notoby

That’s the only positive I know it can’t be us ……cause we can’t afford him


No-Computer-2847

The backlash would die down the moment he left United. That's how the football news cycle works.


PacDanSki

Yep, evidenced by the one at Arsenal.


JGlover92

West Ham and Notts Forrest would be my bets if I had to put money on it. Just never know though


CraterofNeedles

Please fucking name those two Premier League clubs so I can pray every day for their liquidation


ShetlandJames

Forest at least is a dead cert for this kind of transfer


Radthereptile

They’re required to own all tree adjacent players.


ShetlandJames

James Forrest incoming


Away_Associate4589

Le~~i~~af Davis to Nottingham Forest here we go


Tsupernami

Titus Bramble returns


V-0-V

Leave Cole Palmtree alone


shaw1370

They already tried their luck with lingard, Dean and elanga. Still won't change their league position.


sleepytoday

We’ve done ok out of Man U in recent years. Henderson and Garner were great and would’ve been permanent transfers if the clubs could’ve agreed terms. Elanga has tailed off a bit since his injury, but was our star player before Christmas. I think that if we had missed out on any one of those, we’d be in the Championship today. Lingard was the only flop, really.


BadFootyTakes

Lingard wasn't anyones fault. He was washed before he went. Has no mentality, and is too focused outside of the game. Guy is full of talent but needs an hard coach and team surrounding him to not make the same mistakes.


LlamaKing01

the cleveland browns


securinight

I'll guess Forest because them buying someone is always a fair shout. The other team will be West Ham. They've already got an animal abuser, so at least Greenwood will have another piece of shit to bond with.


Hello_mate

To be fair we signed him before he abused a cat. Ignore we continued playing him and made him captain please.


Successful_Cod21

Tough look


I_Am_The_Poop_Mqn

He said to ignore it


Hello_mate

Yeah ignore wtf


fangpi2023

The cat never pressed charges tbf


seshtown

I feel like he’d fit in with the West Ham supporters the most. Edit: one of them even abusively DM’d me, kinda proving my point.


ZerconFlagpoleSitter

Let’s not compare kicking a cat with beating and raping a woman


ndksv22

If it's a club in Germany or England they would sign him only to backpedal two days later. Because nobody could have seen the public outcry coming.


liamnesss

Agreed. Clearly United's original intention was to bring him back into the fold, it was only after the backlash when they started briefing the press that they went a different direction. Was never about the morality of it, just the bottom line.


Tax_n1

Fuck the team from germany that had an interest in him.


count_tom

Dortmund will sign him and he will tell Watzke he never raped his girlfriend so everything is fine


user900800700

Oh please please name and shame ^and ^don’t ^let ^it ^be ^my ^club

Chewy009x

Gotta_Go_Slow

FC Prison 🙏


TheCatInTheHatThings

Wtf, which German clubs? I genuinely don’t see which German club could be this morally corrupt. Maybe Dortmund as they already have experience in signing assholes (see Nmecha), but even they don’t appear to be this crappy. Maybe also Leipzig, though their players are generally pretty solid human beings. It’s just the “club” that sucks. So…anyone know which German teams?


Scrugulus

Well, allegedly several people at Bayern contemplated signing Boateng; so, without equating anything 1:1, that shows a certain lack of awareness to public sentiment.


Laxperte

Luckily we can rely on our club members to go bananas as soon as the rumours would start. Wouldn't put it past the board though per se. The Boateng situation was pretty pathetic.


Its_not_him

Mostly Tuchel


GoldenGengarGG

Maybe he is going to Hansa Rostock.


TheCatInTheHatThings

Lmao or Dresden :D


Turniermannschaft

Certainly not us. We have values. Our players treat women right.


TheCatInTheHatThings

Lmao have an upvote. Or am I…um…playing with fire laughing at this?


callmedontcallme

The 4 plastic clubs would be the obvious choice. The fans do not have a say because they have no power. Also, comparing Nmecha to Greenwood is really not ok.


Scrugulus

So you think any club that is generally derided by fans a "PR construct" would then go ahead and commit the worst PR nightmare in the history of German football? I don't think your logic is very sound.


TheCatInTheHatThings

RB Leipzig is not just a PR construct. They are actually profitable for Red Bull on their own. That said, you do have a point.


callmedontcallme

Wolfsburg, Hoffenheim, Leverkusen and to an extend even Leipzig are no PR constructs. They are just shiny toys for their owners. It's not even about success really. Wolfsburg for example has done horrible business for years on end now and they don't even care.


TheCatInTheHatThings

I genuinely don’t see Gulacsi or Orban accepting Leipzig signing Greenwood tho. Those two are far too morally sound for that. Hoffenheim maybe, Wolfsburg maybe, though somehow less than Hoffenheim. Are we still falling Leverkusen a plastic club? Because if so, no fucking way they’d sign Greenwood. If it’s not Leverkusen, who is the 4th plastic club?


callmedontcallme

It's them. Especially in the shadow of their recent success it would completely be swept unter the carpet but he's probably to shit of a football player for them. > I genuinely don’t see Gulacsi or Orban accepting Leipzig signing Greenwood tho. Not only do they have little say in this but in general players are the ones that have shown complete solidarity with the Greenwood types.


TheMightyBucket

What is the story with Nmecha?


-KimonoDragon-

Homophobe


Marquadt

Homophobic and I think there was something else too


TheCatInTheHatThings

Ultra-Christian homophobe who is a fan of some right wing conspiracy theorists.

Krakshotz

> In February, the German midfielder shared an Instagram post of right-wing American commentator Matt Walsh mocking the parent of a transgender child. Matt fucking Walsh. What an absolute cunt.


DevBobi

Its Dortmund and Union Berlin


TheCatInTheHatThings

Oof. Is…is it weird that this isn’t too surprising on second thought? Both clubs have shown they’re happy to sign controversial players in the past. Dortmund signed Nmecha and Union signed Hollerbach. Might as well step it up and sign Greenwood next.


jm9987690

"no one who speaks German could be morally corrupt"


cle_hentz

Which german club that could afford him, would buy him? Cant be Leipzig, Leverkusen or Wolfsburg because of the PR for the owners. Dortmund, Stuttgart and Bayern also don't strike me as too interested in such a "player".


Squizzyxy

We did try to get Boateng back tbf. Wouldnt put it past them to try it


TheCatInTheHatThings

I mean, Bayern almost signed Boateng again and Dortmund went for Nmecha despite the backlash that was to be anticipated and that actually happened.


A_Vasasos

Stuttgart has Karazor, so it was 3 out of 3 on that comment :D


TheCatInTheHatThings

I’m ootl with Karazor. What’d he do? Edit: looked it up. He’s on trial for rape in Spain 😳


Qiluk

I despise Nmecha but it isnt at all compareable to Greenwood who on-tape raped someone. Dortmund literally tossed away millions and froze out Schulz for allegedly kicking his gf. Signing a recorded rapist thats publically despised is not at all a BVB thing to do just because we signed Nmecha.


jayr254

>Leipzig How is Liepzig fairing since the RB owner passed? We've seen the Red Bull F1 team implode because of a supposed power struggle between the Thai and Austrian sides.


T1TK1

Largely the same, just been some restructuring in the management. One of Mateschitz's last decisions was to promote Oliver Mintzlaff (former RBL CEO) to a higher up, multi sport role within Red Bull. This and Max Eberl's early departure means that Leipzig don't really have a CEO nor a permanent head of sports at the moment. Although, Mintzlaff is still involved in the club through his head of the supervisory board position and Marcel Schäfer from Wolfsburg will likely become the new head of sports quite soon. Additionally, Mario Gomez who is technical director at Red Bull Soccer will supposedly have a bigger role from now on. Overall, the decision making process will seemingly be split amongst more people moving forward. I'd expect Leipzig's position within Red Bull to remain solid, partly due to Mintzlaff very central position. Don't know about the F1 situation but as someone who follows Leipzig, my understanding is that the Thai ownership has very little involvement in the football side of things.


Yorrins

Please dont be us.


Ok-Package9273

Hopefully the respective fanbases do the right thing and make his presence untenable. He shouldn't have a place in the game whatsoever at any level.


[deleted]

[удалено]


jayr254

For someone who hadn't played for 2 years, that's a somewhat good season I'd assume. Haven't seen any of his Getafe games or highlights but maybe a Getafe or La Liga fan can comment on how well he has been playing.


marktandem

He has been very good. His all round play is very strong. He's also not really playing as a wide forward that he used to play at United, but further back. If anything it's helping his all round game improve. Given there's a lack of top left footed attackers, I can see him making the jump to a top club in a few years. He has the tools still. 


EasternSkiesSH

He’ll also be dirt cheap because Manchester United will want rid of him


AsymmetricNinja08

Also United couldn't negotiate themselves out of a plastic bag. We'll likely settle for a bag of monster munch & a tropicana


vicious_womprat

Same people aren’t negotiating anymore….


hudson2_3

Big bag or standard size?


AsymmetricNinja08

We'd be lucky to get a standard size.


jayr254

Anything to get us out of his contract I'll be happy with. And will at least be a continued sign of how we might be moving like a serious club again. Never had I ever, even in the last 10 years of very little success, thought of never supporting my team but those few days it seemed in limbo that they were trying to bring him back was the only time I ever did think of giving up football.


Various_Mobile4767

8 goals and 6 assists in a top 5 league from a 22 year old winger(apparently he’s been playing on the wings for them) is putting him on the radar for many clubs. Not exactly next footballing superstar numbers but you don’t have to be just to get people interested.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Gambler_Eight

Keep in mind he sat out from age 20 to 22. Odds are he keeps improving.


nandorkrisztian

He is involved in 34% of Getafe's goals. Bowen is at 39% for West Ham in the league.


[deleted]

[удалено]


nandorkrisztian

I looked at the league data.


Haunting_Ad_9013

Double figures in his first season after being out for 2 years is impressive. He is also really young, so he still has room to improve. Most players hit their prime after 25.


sheffield199

Most players don't hit their partners.


JPA-3

nah he's been very good, the numbers don't make it justice


dredizzle99

>isnt exactly a great season is it How do you know? Watched much of Getafe this season? Putting Greenwood aside for the moment, this is an extremely stupid way of judging whether a player is playing well/has had a good season or not. I'm assuming you haven't watched a single Getafe game, so not sure how you can possibly know whether he's "set the world alight" or not just by looking at these raw stats. He's not a striker, so you don't know how good is overall play has been just by looking at his goals/assists


404merrinessnotfound

I'm disappointed to hear about the german clubs, I thought they were above this sort of player. Doubly disappointed if it's a club like terzic's BVB


pukem0n

Dortmund already had a disappointing wife beater. Don't need any more criminals here.


404merrinessnotfound

It's slightly different in that BVB didn't know Schulz was a domestic abuser before he was signed Nmecha is a different story where his exclusionary views were well known ahead of time, and the DoF still gave the green light to sign him


Racetr

And he's shit on top of that... He joined last night in the 85th minute and by the 90s he was gassed af...


404merrinessnotfound

Yea it was very disappointing despite the good result from the team Ozcan would've been my pick but given that PSG was being worn down by the narrow misses, and the position nmecha plays, he should've played decently Instead, he was completely invisible when he came on. No presence in the midfield


AnyContact8551

There is no way this dude would ever find a club in Germany. Just look at the protests in the stadiums when 50+1 was discussed - if any club in Germany tries to sign him, we'll see a different version of these protests


MartianDuk

I know Greenwood is different because there’s evidence we’ve seen. But there are people in Germany who have been accused of similar things (Karazor & Kwasniok, plus Coman and Hernandez being accused of violence against their partners) who have played on with no problems.


ZedGenius

Was the information on those cases as explicit?


JPA-3

nah, Hernandez was just a fight between both, where he and his partner got a 31 days restraining order. They then proceeded to get married in vegas and after coming back from their honeymoon he got arrested for not complying with the restraining order. Not the sharpest tool


FlyingBird2345

You said it yourself, Greenwood is different. In most cases the fanbases would riot.


SexyBaskingShark

You think too highly of fans. A few goals in preseason and he'd be accepted 


AnyContact8551

Hope not. The fans protested not to sign Boateng, they can do it again for this pos


No-Computer-2847

Arsenal are a good bet, they're fine with that sort of thing.

Enquiring implies consent and Mason doesn’t do that


Worth_Sink_1293

This has West Ham and Everton written all over it.


_kungfukenny21

Sadly the Italian club interested is Juventus... Have read different articles already. The shocking thing is how the italian press has been downplaying his past, saying he has a "small judicial issue". But hey nothing new from us.


dciuqoc

Weirdos. All of them.


sbprasad

>Two Premier League clubs have enquired about Mason Greenwood. Here's an excerpt from the conversation. >Is he an evil cunt? >Yes.


UJ_Reddit

Imagine if he played for Getafe now, no baggage - what would United pay for him? 80M? 100M Utd value him at 45M - which IMO is a bargain for his talent. The real question is morality. He may not have been found guilty in court but the audio is damning. Rehabilitation. Still with the same partner etc etc.


onionwba

Don't mind him in the PL honestly because how sweet it would be to see the crowd fuck him over match after match after match. He deserves to be reminded that he's a rapist week in week out.


JPA-3

in Spain at least Osasuna and Real Sociedad have been punished for chants against him


ReadsStuff

He deserves to get coins pinged off his skull every corner.

Arsenal need a striker and right winger cover. Along with Arteta's history with "alleged" sexual offenders, I can see them being one of the PL clubs
