Odegaard was 4million, it's a safe gamble as you can sell him for way more than that just on potential alone.
This is madness

Can't help but feel he'll be back one day for one final relegation battle, but fair play for wanting to see his family more, never mind avoiding the stress.
If it is the end, we can be thankful he gave us this beauty

This post just got my head going. What if in 2-3 years when Ronaldo and Messi were close to retiring, a speculation bubble in the market happened during a few years afterwards, and teams started spending 80,90 million and upwards for 18 year olds and 19 year olds because one of them could be the next Ronaldo/Messi? And after a few years, when everyone realized no one was actually gonna reach their level, it all would came crashing down hard. That would be a huge laugh.
I guess I just want to see the world burn.

How this stupid cunt has even got this far as a "professional" footballer I do not know. Chance after chance after chance, crime after crime after crime. Thousands of footballers in this country deserve chances more than him. He must have dirt on many people to be stealing a career in the sport for as long as he did.

I guess Juventus are lucky that they are not actively searching for the next Ronaldo and Messi at all lol.^^
We are certainly looking for the next Nedved though.o-O" Also having Dybala won't make us go crazy on youngsters too.^^
Shameless plug: The Vancouver Whitecaps play the Montreal Impact in Canadian Championship play at 7pm PST. (will update this post when stream links become available)
16 year old Canadian winger Alphonso Davies (who's been scouted by Liverpool and Manchester United) will start, so I guess it's a little relevant to non-American Soccer GAF.
EDIT: Stream here. Davies scored the first goal for Vancouver.

Juve with Iniesta would be one hell of a team.

Stevie still look quality. Carra is breathing out of his arse from the like 10th minute haha.

I imagine Mou will want to control the tempo, so if Ajax manage to score early, it will really disrupt their strategy.

I can't for the life of me see Man Utd losing this. Really hope I'm wrong, but can see this being a 3 or 4-0 affair.

I'm the exact opposite, I honestly can't see them winning. Ajax get one first, it could be a rough night for them.
United have typically done well in the first half of Europa league games from memory, it's the 2nd half where they drop off. If Ajax score first and early it will force United to push the rest of the game. For Ajax to really rattle United early they have got to put a couple in the back of the net. They don't have to score first to win. United could get the first goal, miss clear chances and then fall into their shell where they have conceded goals late.

Casual lurker on this thread, but I unfortunately think MU will run circles around Ajax this evening. I am from Amsterdam so I am heavily pro-Ajax, but I honestly don't think our chances are that high. But who knows, MU has been average the last couple of years, despite slinging around absurd amounts of transfer money. Ajax is a young, unknown team that can lead to some surprises.

If Fellaini starts it's game over for Ajax.
Otherwise

Fellaigod to get the winning goal and save United's season
So Varela is a total tit. He's been sent back to United days before the cup final because he got a tattoo against instructions and it's infected. Way to go kid. They were thinking of extending his loan but have now said they don't want him back.
4-0? Is the final played over 8 games? Lol.
Hoping for a win. But this is Man Utd Ajax, shouldn't need to hope.

Or, Fellaini to headbutt someone after 26 mins and the game get lost 1-0 on the 88th minute after a park the bus special.
Fellaini 👌

Ajax need to score in first 5 minutes or so. If MU scores first then its game over,

Not at all, United are the masters of sitting on 1-0 leads and then losing a goal(s) as the game goes on. Without Bailly in defence, we're going to be shakey.
But it's also what Mourinho wants. Say whatever you like about him, but he knows how to get the job done in situations like that. Better, and more experienced, teams than the Ajax one have struggled to overcome a Mourinho side holding onto a lead in a vital match.
Hopefully I'm wrong though, and hopefully it's a comfortable Ajax victory.

The fate of the world rests in your hands Ajax. Don't let us down.

Romero has been in goal all tournament.
It's strange though. It's like when Wenger decides to stick with Ospina instead of putting in Cech for the knockout stages of the Champions League.
Just choose your best players for vital games.

If United win they unlock Griezmann if they lose they unlock a summer of chucking useless bids at Spurs for Harry Kane.
It is going to be a very conflicting for me lol. As it would mean, rather than adding another powerful Mid player who will be able to protect our regista, we actually add another one lol.O_O
We need Vidal or Pogba style player ASAP hiks.T_T We already have Marchisio and Pjanic with literally the same skill set as Iniesta lol.^^
That's what I mean, De Gea is their best keeper so why not use him? It gives you a better chance of winning. Never liked the whole 2nd keepers play cups thing. If you're going to sign behind someone as good as De Gea you know you're not getting a game regularly but you get the financial compensation.
Romero has played most of the other games and I think Mou has been keeping De Gea out of the way for a while now anyway. Maybe he knows he's off and his head's not in the game.
My right leg is going to be jiggling up and down for the entire game I think lol.
If they win then yeah, because both CL finalists have already qualified via league position.
Had Leicester won it then United would have been bumped to the quali stages and Pool would have been bumped to Europa.

As someone who dislikes both Ajax (although a lot of respect for their youth development) and Manchester United, I really want Ajax to win this one. How amazing would it be for a club from a smaller country to finally win a European cup again?
