I have been reading this youth thrash for a very long time here and I must say that I'm really disappointed in the various discussions that have taken place about the matter. Poole will replace Carrick in our team? Really? Sean Goss?, Tuanzebe?, Mensah?, Weir? what are we Southampton? If Phee-lo-so-phee had stayed on he would have splashed another £150m pounds on players again, that I'm sure of, and not promoting the likes of freaking Poole to the first team setup. Folks have forgotten how the likes of rashford and TFM made it to the first eleven, El jefe's hand was forced because of injuries and not ingenuity. If you guys can remember vividly that this same LVG that is suddenly achieving sainthood in this thread was responsible for booting out several youth players during his time in this club, the likes of Jack barmby, petrucci, ekangamene, vermilj, lawrence , janko, henriquez (who was supposed to be our chicharito 2.0), Thorpe, Michael Keene, etc but once na Mourinho do am, he becomes a villain instantly. Manchester United is not a trial and error club hence the reason we went for Jose and even LVG in the first place, youth can't win you trophies, they can't even get you the UCL slots, they can only take you as far as they got. As much as I will like to see rashford start week in week out because of his last season exploits, I like the current setup in the team, he and TFM will get chances to play this season and to learn from the very best, we have heard how Zlatan is impacting his football knowledge to these kids so that hopefully in the next 2 to 3 years, they will be ready for first team footie. Now I'm not against the integration of youth into the team, I'm only against the ninjas that are screaming for them to get into the team now. We can't afford that, we need quality and experience in that team if we are to go back to the summit of football and not trying and hoping that in 3 to 4 years, some of them might be finally ready to take us to the promise land. Remember Andreas Pereira was fantastic for the reserve team also but is currently struggling to make his mark on the team. The fact that you are wonderful in age grade and reserve football doesn't necessarily make you a wonderful player at the biggest stage. Going out on loan is the best thing for these players, let them show us their worth there and then we can talk about bringing them to the first team setup. Shey Januzaj dey Sunderland? We dey watch. 4 Likes |

eph12: Apart from the fact that the recent coach doesn't really support youth idea, La Masia hasn't being doing well recently. I would even wager that we have a better academy than Barca. And don't forget, Pedro, Tello and Bojan were all given chances to claim a spot in the starting line-up before Neymar and Suarez were signed! It was because they weren't good enough the latter had to be signed. For crying out loud, our youth team has won the titles for 3 consecutive seasons and that shows they are good. The last time they did that was with Petrucci, Pogba, Ravel Morrison and Lingard. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 11:45am On Aug 26, 2016 |
Diademk07:And who did Pedro Tello and Co play with? Iniesta Messi! Those two guys are beast up front. They were confident to introduce them because they are going to play beside the best in the game and the team was way solid and balanced. When United become solid and balanced we can introduce those guys. Is that not good enough? Haba |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 11:50am On Aug 26, 2016 |
eph12: You mean they were lucky with a coach who gave youth a chance? Why do you think Messi still laud Rij kaard and believes he's the best thing to have happen to him? Because without Rijkaard, Messi could have been an obscure player! What if Van gaal hadn't promoted Kroos, Muller, Alaba? Would they have become an household names? As for the person who mentioned Perreira, never for once did ever I thought he was ready. He was the midfield version of Januzaj, I.e, tricks with little end products, poor decision making, average vision except to take plenty of shots on goal. That was why many folks often cream their pants but not me. The likes of Harrop, Goss, Kehinde are more of playmakers that dictate tempo and are highly cerebral than Perreira. And I was never of the opinion that all the youth should take up the starting line-up. For the record, I wanted Kante, Mane et al in the team. However, I think some of them could have taken up the squad role instead of Rojo, Herrera, Young, Darmian etc while Rashford would have been our main starting striker. 1 Like |

eph12: Iniesta, Xavi et al got integrated at the time Barca were at their worst time though. And you don't really get me. I'm not saying every nook and cranny should be youth but they should be part of the squad with the coach intention to integrate them. In fact, the pre-season would have been the best fit because there's no way Van gaal would have kept playing the likes of Herrera, Morgan, Darmiann Young in the pre-season when he knows their level already and hypothetically, if the youth team did well vs Dortmund, Everton et al, what stopped them from doing well in the league? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SailorXY: 12:13pm On Aug 26, 2016 |
Diademk07:my friend keep quiet. You have Martial Young Mata Rooney Lingard in the same team & you think that's the best possible arrangement to get a result? Rooney dropping deep under Jose means he is playing midfield from No. 10? So Shaw also played LWF to win a PK in the last game. You are just empty within & without. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 12:16pm On Aug 26, 2016 |
Funlordjnr: Can you hear yourself? Without the youth, we were trashed 3-0 but with the youth, we defeated Arsenal 3-2 while Varela kept Sanchez in his pocket throughout and Rashford was our best player in the match. Vs Tottenham, TFM kept Spurs attacker in his pocket until he got injured and as soon as Darmain came on, we got exposed. Now tell me, was it the youth players that made De gea to be exposed like someone implied? 1 Like |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 12:25pm On Aug 26, 2016 |
SailorXY: Shaw is a marauding fullback. Simple as ABC. Like I stated earlier, the insanity is you implying those players were played out of position when it was their position. Also, to get the best out of Martial and Lingard who are at their best drifting in, Van gaal had to use a Fluid 4141/433 formation and since Rashford was our best striker, Rooney had to play in the midfield. It wasn't as if the midfield was strange to Rooney because he often drops deep into the midfield even when he got deployed as the striker. So, why are you complaining? 1 Like |

eph12: And who says it had to be my way? I was just disappointed because at the time we have plenty of talents in the youth, we have a coach who's repulsive to giving talents a chance. The last time we had such talents was with the likes of Pogba, Lingard, Ravel Morrison and Petrucci. And if Fergie had given them a chance at that time, we wouldn't spend 100mil on Pogba. Like I stated earlier, we should just sell them instead of wasting their time on loan or on the bench. 1 Like |

[b]I see a potential Smalling vs Blind Rivalry. We all know club politics, Mourinho will be desperate to play Bailly. Shaw and Valencia have the Wingback on lockdown. TFM will likely play more reserves game and Rojo be ready to step in For Shaw...Darmian couLd very well stay as Vakencia is in the 30s except if TFM disposes him. Pogba-Fellaini centre midfield...Schneirrelin and carrick rotated on the bench. Lingard on right flank battling with Mata...Rooney might just Nick the AM position from Mikitaryan(Highly doubt it) No questions The God of Manchester Zlatan and is young Deputy Rashford. Out of form Martial battling it out with chicken head depay on the left. This is my perceived regular starting lineup. GK De Gea CB Smalling-Bailey Wing backs Shaw Valencia CM- Pogba Fellaini AM- Rooney RW Lingard LW Martial ST Do I even have to say his name Bench: Romero Mata Blind Darmian, Rashford, Miki(It all depends on Rooney or Lingard) Schneiderlin [/b] |
