That's a good comparison isn't it?

Macca was an attacking midfielder, bought to play behind TC and The sarge. He ended upfront and the rest was (joyful) history.

Moyes has put his faith in Arnie and it is paying dividends. I've been proved completely wrong, I thought we;d bought a deadbeat.

To be fair if they carry on with that type of performance as a pairing I don’t care if they’ve shagged eachothers missus. Just an observation. :crest:

That’s a really good call. Like that signing 32 years ago he has a touch of magic and arrogance about him. Like Macca he brings life to his team.

It would be great if we were safe with 5 to go so we could play two proper forwards up front to see Arnie and one other run back 4s ragged though the one plus one has merits.

We have a lot of players on the pitch, at the same time, that are horrible to defend against, none more so than Arnie.

Sadly... I think arnie and lanzini might not get on too well. Post match comments... “manu needs to be quiet now because he says I don’t pass to him to score goals”. Didn’t sound in jest either. Also neither celebrated eachothers goals. Hope I’ve made 5 out of 2 n 2.
Didn’t sound in jest? Did you not see his facial reactions? The smile.. clearly mucking about

2 team mates just having healthy rivalry

It was obviously banter and shows healthy relationships in the squad and good team spirit in my opinion. Long may it continue :crest:

Been our best player by a mile today. Think Lanzini was feeding off his scraps tbh. Everything that was good revolves around him. Just hope nobody comes sniffing this window.

We’ve only just bought him for £24 million, would take a massive massive bid in the £60 million region to prise him away.

Yep.

Arnie = no longer in the “my kids begged me not to sign him” list, the next time that thing pipes up

More likely scenario is probably his agent asking for a payrise in the short term I suspect.

£60m fee! New contract! Come on boys he has had a good few months. Balance it across the season so far and he comes out as “good”. Let’s see how the rest of the season turns out. If we build him up too much then a couple of bad games and certain people on here will be offering him a lift back to Stoke again.

Enjoy it and hope it isn’t a purple patch.
