Look at our useless wingers who're always hell bent on cutting in and shooting the ball into the fans Just look at what we have and tell me you're okay! I watched that Napoli LW for the third time yesternight and Oh my ![]() ![]() Rashford can't shoot properly to save his life and he lacks goal scoring sense - nothing clinical about his finishing! Sancho - I don't even know what to say about that one honestly. Or is it Antony that prefers to play annoying back passes instead of beating his marker? I just dey look that one since. What of the other 2 useless Anthonys, one of whom is bereft of football sense kpata kpata, and the other a perpetual injury magnet? These guys are just mediocres who want us to settle with the bare minimum and celebrate it. Little wonder some people are so used to mediocrity that anything these idiots do dey Amaize them ![]() ![]() I refuse to accept that oh. Omo I refuse We seriously need to get rid of players who have mastered the art of flattering to deceive - today you do well, tomorrow you go back to default settings. Anyway, I trust ETH soo much and I know he'll flush them out because he's said it before that he doesn't have patience. That's the most important thing that man's ever said since he took charge. You think we urgently need strikers but don't think we urgently need wingers? Lmao! Because of course there's Martial, Rashford, Sancho and Antony. 2 Likes |

Expert17:I hope you are not adding me to the 1st bolded? And will you be available to carry your L if this Gapko signs and (hopefully not) flop at United like Depay, Sancho etc? 2nd bolded will not solve our problem without a very good CM to partner Casemiro. We also need a CD to deputize for Martinez, Linderlof did well in place of Varane, a RB to deputize for Dalot. If funds are not limited and priority signings are done, then we can look at Gakpo or any other good player on his category... 1 Like |

TrebleChamp: Correct post. These people love shiny things. And we’ve been chasing shiny things for the last decade. Mlhitaryan. Depay. Sanchez. And now, Sancho. And it has almost always ended in tears. We need a CF more. Theres no such thing as no quality CF available in the market. What they mean is “there’s no shiny CF in the market”. Why do we have scouts? Abeg x3 2 Likes 1 Share |

I really like Gakpo but there's a problem, in the LW, we have Rashford, Sancho and a very promising youngster coming through the academy (Garnacho)...If we sign Gakpo that means he'll have to battle with Martial for the CF role with Rashford as an option in any case of injury but the problem is that Gakpo is not an out and out CF and to be honest what we need now is a player who is a CF at best and not one who can do a job there occasionally... If we can't get a CF, I wouldn't mind Gakpo to join us as an option for Martial or an outright replacing. In an ideal world, I'd hope we sign a CF and Gakpo...For me, Gakpo is more threatening than Sancho from the left or right and even through the middle and that's a big plus... A CF first and then Gakpo or any other forward signing will be an icing on the cake... 6 Likes 1 Share |

Joebayo217: We need a natural 9, RB and CM. If we can get him too... Would that be so bad? Maybe we could finally offload Elanga? It would be great to have someone reliable to substitute for other players. Imagine in a game you have Gakpo in it, you can decide to sub Ronaldo and Bruno to bring on Martial and Rashford, and Gakpo would be able to play effectively as the playmaker. Imagine how fluid the managers tactics can become if you have a player you can just shift instead of removing. 1 Like |

Why does "Sign Gakpo" sounds like "don't sign a striker" to a lot of people here? I'm not saying we should sign Gakpo, it's just looking like we can't go for both 3 Likes |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Expert17: 10:27am On Nov 02, 2022 |
TrebleChamp: Yes, I will be available to chop my L like I'm currently doing for all the signings/players I supported and you can show me where I supported Sancho and Depay transfer. We need a winger more than a CB, with Casemiro and DeGea' form our defence is solid. We have only Anthony @ RW and Rashford @ LW ( please don't mention Elabga and Scamcho). |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Expert17: 10:30am On Nov 02, 2022 |
TrebleChamp: Signing Gakpo won't change any priority signings. There is no limit to player acquisition, the last time I checked a club signed 20 players last summer and we are one of the highest spenders in England. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Expert17: 10:35am On Nov 02, 2022 |
You want a CF but your wingers don't create chances, can't beat players 1 v 1, can't cross....And you think a CF will just come in and perform wonders. ![]() ![]() |

Expert17: You're dribbling around the obvious, definitely. We need a Goalkeeper and everyone knows this except the reactionary fans. I'm sure Ten Hag is not stupid. He knows this. We recently made an appointment to help in the scouting of Goalkeepers. The only reliable LW we have is Rashford? ![]() ![]() You've got Rashford as your starting LW. You've got Sancho that's probably a back up LW presently. You've got Martial and Elanga that can also play from the left in a situation both gets injured. You've got Gernacho that's looking to get the same opportunity Martial and Elanga got to break into the team. You're now talking of adding a 40m LW to the team cuz he's dropping good stats in the Dutch league. **Meanwhile there are discussions we might not go in for Dejong again cuz we can't spend another 70m after Casemiro. We'll probably gamble on a 30m midfield. We can't go for the likes of Osimhen cuz they'll probably cost 80m plus. We'll probably love to spend 50m max in getting a striker. This same 40m that'll change the story drastically in a position we need is the one you're hoping get splashed on a player that'll come in to compete with 2 first team players, and 2 youngsters. All in a single position. 3 Likes |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 12:12pm On Nov 02, 2022 |
We should cancel out Sancho because you've got a new shiny toy you want in the team. Imagine Sancho in the PSV team playing against those frauds lmao. All these guys are huge gambles. A gamble we don't need to make as we have other positions to fill. 2 Likes |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by TrebleChamp(m): 12:26pm On Nov 02, 2022 |
Expert17:You are not the Glaziers na, so you or i can't say how much they will be willing to spend. If they decides to release say £100m next summer, and United spend £30m plus to sign Gakpo how much remain to sign a CM and a Striker? A LW is necessary, but not a priority. I understand your point of his ability to play across the front line, i just don't see the owners spending plenty money in the summer expecially with visible progress this season. Las Las it is ETH that will decides which positions need strengthening in the team... |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Expert17: 12:31pm On Nov 02, 2022 |
ChristoBam: We are not signing any GK, check out ETH statement on DDG. Only a blind fan won't notice DDG improvement (note: this is coming from DDG no 1 enemy) and we have 5 other GKs scattered around the club. Yes, Rashford is the only reliable LW. Sancho and Elanga are shit. Sancho was the shiny toy and I warned you guys then. Maybe you need to start taking my recommendations seriously. Your wingers can't cross, can't dribble, can't create......and you are here deceiving yourself. lol who is your backup RW? nil Who can drop a Rashford-like performance at LW? nil Who is our backup striker? nil The person that supported the signing of 80m Scamcho thinks 40m (it's even 25 -30m) is too much for a player that guarantees goals/assists and can play 3 positions. I will wait for the day you drag Glazers for not spending enough or you compare our forwards to Man City and other top clubs. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by TrebleChamp(m): 12:31pm On Nov 02, 2022 |
Expert17:I disagree with this, Varane is still injury prone and Maguire is still Maguire. I hope we sign Gakpo but we must settle the other important positions first in my opinion... |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Expert17: 12:38pm On Nov 02, 2022 |
TrebleChamp: We have Lindelof, Martnez, and Maguire. Maguire will improve with the addition of Casemiro and the form of Shaw, Dalot, and DDG. Any observant person will know that our weakest link this season is our CF and LW. DDG has improved. our CB pairing is one of the best in the league and Martinez is the best CB in the world for me. Shaw and Dalot are on fire. Casemiro is the best DM in the world pairing with another excellent baller Eriksen and inform McTom. Antony can't stop scoring and Bruno always creates chances. What can you say about our CF and LW positions? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 1:09pm On Nov 02, 2022 |
Expert17:I'm sure if I go through your past posts, I'll probably see something about Sancho improving and finally getting it right. Degea is trying to improve and there are improvements, unfortunately this is Manchester United not Brighton. I still strongly doubt he's got it. And I'm not going to try to convince myself. I'll actually start to believe when I see him pick right passes when he's pressed like against Brentford. You saw him standing with the ball for long against West Ham with Scammaca not even trying to press a bit. And it's fvcking hilarious if you think Gakpo is a better dribbler than any of our current wingers. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 1:14pm On Nov 02, 2022 |
Expert17: How can anyone even say we need a winger more than a CB? One good performance from Maguire in which we had to drop deep to defend of he's suddenly good enough to play most of our season in a high line? Do y'all want to build a team to win titles or you want the excitement that comes with signing a new attacker? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Expert17: 1:31pm On Nov 02, 2022 |
ChristoBam: Martinez, Casemiro and DeGea's form will cover for Maguire. We still have Lindelof and Varane. Who is your backup RW? Who is the backup LW? Trashlanga and Scamcho? ![]() |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Expert17: 1:34pm On Nov 02, 2022 |
ChristoBam: Wow, the same person mentioning Scamcho, Dr Martial and Trashlanga. Elanga that won't make Nottingham forrest XI. Lol |
