You can't blame anybody who is pessimistic. We have had so many similarly promising transfers come to nothing.
PTSD dey strong amongst United fans.

We need one more midfielder to start as the CM (no8) sha while Casemiro holds that no 6 position.

ChristoBam:
I was thinking like this before. But two matches in got me wondering what happens out of possession. This is not Ajax in the Dutch league. We don't have the best individual players by a mile and we'll never have.

What happens out of possession? Who are the ball winners in the midfield? We'll get smoked.

We need someone like Casemiro. If not him, we need another CDM.

Importantly, we need another CM as well.

Sebi i listed defensive midfielders United should sign, stating clearly that signing De Jong alone cannot solve the weakness in our midfield. Ell.exy and co made me understand that De Jong is must, as no other midfielder can play Ten Hag style.

Bombblacks:

2018/2019 in a dog race with Liverpool sperated by just 1 point. Fernadinho was injured for weeks, Gundogan replaced him and they won the next 8 consecutive league matches with him at the base of midfield to win the league. You are wrong again, He didn't look for a ball winner kind of player. Pep actual first choice for a Fernadinho replacement was Jorginho a similar player to Gundogan in that role before Chelsea hijacked the deal.

You are comparing Pep's well oiled machine to this United side that is still learning to crawl and has not even started walking.
And you are comparing Pep who even without his City career is an all time great manager to ETH who still has to write his own story.

Ellexy:
#mufc made an €80m bid for Antony on Wednesday, which was rejected by Ajax #mulive [@David_Ornstein]

Ajax dey craze oo

The board should raise it to £120m, since na only Anthony play right wing pass.....

No am not making a comparism. Check the initial statement that prompted this discussion between I and christobam to understand what am talking about. Pep Manchester City was only used as an example to buttress a point.

Ellexy:
Ajax want to keep hold of Antony and #mufc are reluctant to go higher than this week’s €80m bid. A deal for PSV winger Cody Gakpo is seen as more likely of the two. [@lauriewhitwell, @David_Ornstein]

Ajax can't get this type ofmoney for Antony again.

Same way Dortmund tried to scam United, by asking for crazy €120m fee for Sancho.

Ellexy:
The money has always been there. I just don't understand why leaving it so late

I believe this is why, .

That boy is a student who was begging for money for house rent a few months ago o. He was all over NL shedding tears like Hilda Dokubo. He is now mocking someone who has graduated and is working for his money. It is the people who respond to him or take him seriously that i blame.

I wanted to post this when i saw that post, but decided to allow Odizeey continue to do him dirty..

Ellexy:
Fred and McTominay are what?

Those ones wey dey win ball give opponent

squashing complains on his weekly wages (350k+)

He's downgrading and joining the hardest project in football.

We finally get a DM

The moment I replied him first, I knew I had messed up.

The same person begging for airtime/data, I had to tell Odizeey to ignore.

How many years that Maguire sign sef?

Hope they don't renew o.

afrodoc2:


I think it will be Casemiro, Fred, and Bruno with McTominay as the alternative to Fred and Eriksen as the alternative to Bruno. Casemiro will be the mainstay as there is nobody who has his skillset in the team.
I guess in ultra-attacking situations e.g chasing a goal, we might go Casemiro, Eriksen, Bruno while ultra-defensive situations we can go Casemiro, McFred in a more standard 4-3-3.

McTom can be sold to Aberdeen in Scotland please. No ultra defensive situation should feature McTom.

KingTom:

This is wrong bro, goes against everything this thread represents

Get the feck out of my mention you hypocrite and asslicker. When the idiot made this comment below did you caution him or tell him it goes against everything this thread represents? Jumping into me mention to tell me nonsense.

It's a waste of time interacting with you cos you were probably given birth to in an abusive relationship.

You are replying someone that's senseless

Here we go soon

Nowadays, it's until someone is announced on United website I would take the news serious

Illimitable:


Maguire kept a Brighton player ONside. If you don’t have a recovering pace as a set skill, your offside trapping skill should be legit. Liverpool centre halves have both. Van Dijk and Matip can trap breeze in an offside position and when the flag does not go up, they have pace to recover.

Maguire has neither - the first goal is Maguire’s fault. If he had stepped up before the final pass, Welbeck would have been offside in the build up.




This one was on Shaw. The distance United defenders leave for attackers to take shot is terrible. Instead of closing down the distance where there would be a high chance of blocking, they back up and let attackers take pop shots at De Gea. Shaw could have blocked that shot if he wanted to but he did not. Dalot couldn’t have known how De Gea was going to parry that shot.



Maguire and Shaw were at fault here.

Eriksen was pointing to Maguire to block off Toney’s run even before the ball was played, Maguire stepped forward instead of blocking the run. Brentford found the pass to Toney and Shaw couldn’t keep up with his man. Mbeumo murdered Shaw with pace and with a brilliant dribble to score.

Just look at United’s captain……defending like a schoolboy.

Shaw is where dalot is supposed to be..
And dalot is no where to be found..

If we don't get De Jong or any other midfielder, Zidane Iqbal can play that role effectively in front of Casemiro. The Manager just need to trust and encourage him. We see how Pedri and Gavi are doing at Barcelona, it's by talent not age...

It will be Fred and Casemiro just like Brazil NT.

Watching McTominay play can give anybody (male or female) menstrual cramps.

Playing alongside Mctom reduces IQ sef, take Fred for example.
