Now you understand my point about insight. Back then those deals where celebrated and cheered as grea deals. It's because they didn't turn out great people are trying to act like the club made mistakes back then.

Still.. replacing a GOAT player like Ronaldo with Owen, Valencia and Obertan was comedy level.

ouzo1:



Na Pep style be that, he likes to have a lot of options whereas Ole prefers to have a main team. Having a main team you need quality everywhere, u don't just remove anyhw money and buy trash just cuz u want to. So to answer your question, Yes it's sensible to me going by want Pep has achieved so far with Man City.

So you think united will be able to spend 208million on centre back options alone? Then you add fullbacks Walker,Cancelo, Mendy that's 150million plus top? You really believe United can do that?

hensben:
The guy is good defensively, but no top clubs use his type of full back any longer.

Yeah, he has age on his side and he has improved somewhat in his attacking duties.

Did you know that wan bissaka has more goal contribution in the premier league than Reece James this season?

weedtaker:
Smalling was playing as a Right Back under the greatest manager of all time and also was a mainstay in the defense of a manager that brought the “ball playing cb” concept to old trafford, no the yarn dust.

Smalling is not good on the ball Oga. That's one of his most glaring weaknesses, indecisive when on the ball. Defensively he's sound.

weedtaker:
Schnerderlin wasn’t bad too, I remember how we were buzzing when we got him, it just didn’t work out. I think LVG had the worst luck here when it comes to transfers.

Depay was a good youngster destined for greater heights, Di Maria just won the MOTM in a CL final, Schnerdelin, Blind, Darmian, Herrera were all hailed as smart business.

Martial was even the signing that had question marks, now he’s the only LVG signing in our books.

Don’t mind the fans. Almost every signing since Fergie left was celebrated here and on Reddit.

We have spent well on the team, signed good players (spending 100 percent on players that eventually perform well is not possible though, but I think we got good players including potentials) and even had the best managers at some point.

Unfortunately, we have just been unlucky.

Those where not Ronaldo replacement, but squad players. We had rooney who was becoming the main man, Nani I think and berbatov who replaced tevez. Valencia was good for a couple of seasons as well.

When talking about ball playing, please no put Maguire and Smalling for the same sentence, Jones is better at ball-playing than Smalling sef.

Again who is the main stay in the 3rd best defence in the premier league this season?

hensben:
Technically, poor controlling skills like chest control, trapping and ball movement are the traits of amateur players. Not true, Wan Bissaka is not better than any of those RB been called up. Like I said his pattern of play is old school.

I get ur point. Thank God Wan Bissaka no dey Nairaland cuz this ur post for make am quit Football o

KingAlabi:

I’m not a fan of James like that honestly, irrespective of his offensive play he is limited too.

weedtaker:

To be fair, Nani was a Ronaldo understudy. He was being groomed to take over from him but Ronaldo is Ronaldo. He was irreplaceable then.

I just wanted to show you that even with his limitations (attacking ), bissaka is still trying.

Yes na, If Dey coach table better project on ground with assurance say na sure win why not. But dey Coach na yes boss type with a short sight.

handelex:
Did he really want to come United? Why then did he leave after just a year also not forgetting the shenanigans from his wife talking shit about Manchester.
United just offered him more money, he didn't want to come here.

Different players move to different teams offering the most money all the time so what's the big deal here. He came to Manchester and couldn't settle.

handelex:

I was correcting the notion that being able to move with the ball and pass the ball makes you a Ball Playing CB.

Valencia came good for us though. Remember the Valencia - Rooney combo? We won the league and got to UCL final with Valencia as one of our wingers.

Don't be naive bro. You think United is City that's backed by an entire nation resources. 350million on only defense? Even Ferguson won't get that.

Roma project must've been amazing for Mou to accept it so fast.

If he would've waited 'till the end of the season i think he could've got the PSG job. If Poch bottles the league they would've definitely hires Mou but Jose likes a challenge..

AS Roma, you just got a fan..

Very True.

Maguire isn’t an exceptional ball playing CB as you people were made to believe. Bailey and Lindelof are better than him in that department.

Again who is the main stay in the 3rd best defence in the premier league this season?

Smalling was a mainstay in the best and 2nd best in a league season. We spent 130million to downgrade to 3rd lol.

Baba Man U no go match them figure for figure but them go come close, Somebody asked how many clubs in England has outspent Man Utd in the last 10yrs earlier, help me answer that question honestly

I bluntly disagree, remove bailly please, I can consider lindelof.

Is this how you do your permutations and combinations?
What happened to him in roma?

I was surprised when I read that, Valencia was one winger I loved to watch play ... only say as he come dey old baba turn to Pius Ikedia

That looks like you and mou tbh

I just pity the protesters. They are doing absolutely nothing. They think glazers will sell a 3.5Billion dollar asset because of them lol. Nobody will even buy it at the price they would want and anybody buying the club will still have to pay off the debts. They better receive sense and stop making unnecessary noise.

Valencia was good , I was a huge fan, you guys seem to be missing the point.

We lost a GOAT player and replaced him with a 16million signing from Wigan. this is Manchester United, the biggest club in the UK not some accrignton stanley.. where’s the ambition?

handelex:
Did he really want to come United? Why then did he leave after just a year also not forgetting the shenanigans from his wife talking shit about Manchester.
United just offered him more money, he didn't want to come here.

What of payet? He hated life in London and even acknowledged he hated the weather and environment. That didn't stop him for grabbing a spot for pfa team of the season before forcing his way back to Marseille.

You guys spent on great potentials. Schneiderlin of Southampton then even had more hype than Ndidi presently. The way you guys wanted Ndidi now was how Schneiderlin was highly demanded.

Depay? Who can forget the hype about depay. Almost everyone thought then he'll so shine. Blind made the hype after the world cup and he was cheered too. Herrera and falcao was greatly welcomed. All these potential good signings added with Van persie and Rooney and this made fans dreaming that Man u will at least compete to win the league in seasons to come. Oh, remember van gaal, the coach who did the great run of Netherland in the world cup and also had a rich CV?
You guys were just unlucky, don't made it sound like you spent poorly then.


Only darmian and martial were not so rated wen they were signed. Esp martial with that huge sign on fee.
If that squad and coach performed for at least two seasons, all these Mary-go-round you'd these past few years, you guys wouldn't have had it

hensben:
You have a point tho.

Jodera:

Di Maria even started well didn’t he even win player of the month and goal of the season?

The Leicester match changed everything and before then we looked up-to him to be our savior like Bruno which he clearly wasn’t.

Van gaal changed formation and became more defensive cautious and playing it safe, Bruno would’ve suffered the same fate as di Maria under van gaal. Cuz he didn’t tolerate any risky play.

Well said bro. Everybody is talking from a point of insight because it didn't go as expected. Spot on about the Ndidi and Schneiderlin part. If we buy ndidi now and 3yrs later he didn't work out some will say we spend the money senselessly.
