No need for back and forth, I will wait for our usual wailings when he signs for another top club. I can't convince people that called Haaland white Lukaku. My eye test/recommendation so far on this thread hasnt failed me, from Smalling >>> Maguire, Bruno, Erikssen, Short Martinez etc

So because Tadic flopped in EPL, Gakpo must flop, lol. We actually signed Jam Stam, J.S Park and Van Nistelrooy from the same club and Ere division.

Anybody that watched Sancho in Europe and for England NT would have known that he would flop at Man Utd.

We didn't sign them due to ere division stats. We signed them because they passed the eye test and filled a need. We have multiple LWFs in the team. We need a No 9. If as RVP said, he is not a no 9 then we don't need him.

I am not saying you shouldn't evangelize for him, but using ere division stats is not the way. You that have watched him tell us what the eye test tells you. Mateja Kezman went from > 30 goals per season in ere division to scoring 4 goals for Chelsea.

Don't bobo us with ere division stats. Give us analysis.

All Sancho analysis from Nairaland Scouts flopped, I based my judgement on MY eye test.

So you think I want him because of stats? lol. why didnt I support Sancho's signing despite his tremendous G/A stats at Dortmund or mention Ziyech, Depay and Tadic who have better stats in Ere divisie.

We have multitle LWs but not quality LWs, and Gakpo can play anywhere in the forward line LW,RW and CF.

kozmicity:


I second you on this. I do want Gakpo, but I also want a natural 9. If we can get both, I'd be happy AF.

Same here, Gakpo and a CF.

As it stands Elanga, Scamcho and Dr. Martial are not reliable and needs to leave asap.

Expert17:
I enjoyed the game, it's not every game we would be comfortable from start to finish.

Maguire had a brilliant 2nd half.

Finally we have attacking FBs in Dalot and Shaw.

De Gea with super saves, especially the header from Zouma. That save is very difficult.

Martinez is the best CB in EPL and by extension among the very best in the World.

Bruno was better in defense than attack today.

Aston Villa next!!!

bro, our boys are trying this season, Martinez is a super wonderful signing, my only regret is our lost to man city, not even our first two matches cos i think Ten hag is trying to prove those English media assholes why Maguire needs to be benched, even tho it cost us 6 points.
Our lost to city is lack of confidence from our defense, but at least we showed fighting spirit in the second half, hopefully we will defeat them at old trafford come January, but for the moment lets keep beating these small clubs before you understand we will be competing for the trophy...

Then you that watch him regularly tell us what his strong points are. You realise you have not once described what he is good at and what he needs to improve on. You just come here and post ere division stats and want us to swallow it like nkwobi.

I don’t watch him regularly so I can’t say much about him in terms of his quality. From highlights it looks like he has a loose touch and I am not sure about his body balance/strength against EPL defences.
He looks like he thrives in open spaces that might not be available in the EPL. I might be wrong, which is where you come in and tell us more.

If he is not going to definitely bench a rejuvenated Rashford at LWF then we should go for a proper No 9 not a jack of all trades. I have nothing against Gakpo.

His close control is adequate if not fantastic. He also has a world-class cross on him.

He tends to disappear when the opponents cut the supply. He has enough strength to make it in the Premier League and he strikes the ball almost as cleanly as Greenwood.

It's rumored that he's available for 30M in January. For that price, even if we have 50 LWFs, we need to get him. I don't think Elanga is a Premier League footballer so that cuts our LWFs to Rashford and a Sancho with more question marks than 50 Cent's "21 Questions" lyrics page.

That's my 2 cents. He's not world class but can do a job and won't put a huge dent in the budget

I am not after stats, if not I would have stan players like Sancho, Depay, Ziyech and Tadic.

Since you havent watch him, you should either wait for him to join another club (like Haaland) OR you dedicate more time to watch and analyse him yourself.

I remember during Fergie's era, we had seasons where we paraded 4 top strikers, even Man City can point to 5 quality forwards. Just because Rashford is back to top form we cant sign another forward. na wa o

Good, Henderson is the better ball playing/sweeper GoalKeeper.

DeGea has good reflexes and a great shot stopper WHILE Henderson is more confident, better at set pieces, high claims, distributions etc

Little expo: 5 GKs were selected ahead of DDG for these reasons.

Aaron Wan Bissaka is the better RB for Crystal Palace/low blocking team.

Trent Arnold is the better RB for Liverpool/Attacking team.

Henderson is more suited to teams playing out from the back, and I called for Dean to start when DeGea was fvcking up 2018 -2022.

The Glazers won’t spend 200m every window. We need a no 9 desperately. Martial is a doctor and Ronaldo is on his last legs or off form.

We have more questions at No 9. That is where we need to improve in January.

In terms of striking the ball almost as cleanly as Greenwood. Fa fa fa foul!

If his aquisition wouldn't stall the purchase of a proper 9, then I don't mind.. especially if the 30m price is true, the Martial issue you raised, Sancho's apparent "flop status" and ofcourse, Rashford's age-long story.

Which decent CF dey available sef?

Doc, we have the same chances of signing a top quality 9 in the winter window as a hen has of growing teeth and then evolving into Caraxxes. I think we'll get a journeyman in the mold of Ighalo and Arnautovic.

The Glazers are virgins (a bunch of tight cünts) and won't release 200M every window but we should be able to raise 30M by creatively offloading deadweight.

And I think Gakpo strikes the ball very well even though Greenwood was clearly elite with his technique.

We need as much quality as possible. If we don't get Gakpo, Arsenal or Pool will bite the bait and we inadvertently strengthen rivals.

Thank you. We were told Sancho will solve our RW for 10 years, he's now a LW hopefully he wont move to CM.

Elanga is not a footballer. Dr. Martial can't stay fit for 2 months. Ronaldo will leave by May. Greenwood is not coming back.

For just 25m - 30m, I dont see how this will stop us from getting other signings - CM and CF.

You see why messi is better ronaldo. Messi plays for the team. Ronaldo wants to score at all cost at the expense of his team's objective and some buffoons will be defending him. As if he hasn't score enough goals in his lifetime. Two cases worthy of note, First half, instead of linking up he decided to take a long range solo effort. Second half, somebody passed the ball to him on the left and all he could do was shoot wide.

This is not important. We can't buy all the good players in the world just so our rivals don't get them. We have to work on ourselves and improve our squad with players that the manager feels will thrive in his system. That is what matters.

If ETH thinks he is good enough and fits his system he will go for him. Personally, i would prefer a proper No 9, but maybe ETH wants to retrain Rashy as a No 9 and get another LWF? We will see.

Can Rashford become a 9? His hold-up play and positional discipline will need to go up a notch for that to happen.

That can work as a short-term fix but long-term we may need better.

In the market currently, not too many top-quality CFs available at a reasonable price.

Signing Gakpo doesn't affect Garnacho's development the same way signing Grealish, Mahrez, Sterling, Haaland, Alvarez, and Bernando Silva didn't affect Foden.

That was the same way you guys wanted to develop Martial and we missed out on Haaland. There's nothing wrong in having 5 quality forwards. Ferguson signed Van Persie the same year Rooney scored his highest league goals, we had seasons where we could call on 4 different CFs. Too much of goal-scoring quality players is not bad.
