Nihilist:True that, i'll even add that Vidal is a lot better with the ball at his feet than most pundits give him credit for, i watched him play at the Copa America with a team whose philosophy is possession based and i think he excelled... |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Bimffo(m): 12:43pm On Jul 17, 2015 |
SIRcumalot: Okay.. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Bimffo(m): 12:54pm On Jul 17, 2015 |
coogar: Vidal is better than Ramires. Yes! But their game play is almost the same thing.. Bully the ball out of the opponents hand, then start running.. You are just giving Pirlo's credit to Vidal anyhow.. Anytime Vidal is playing against a top team, he is sitting on a Time Bomb.. See, how Modern DMs/CMs play na.. |

Bimffo: Their game is NOT the same thing.... Pep and Bayern are obsessed with keeping possession...and they are signing him. What does that tell you? I think your problem is failing to see that not every DM\CM plays the Busquet\Carrick\Pirlo role whose duties include dictating tempo to almost metronomic effect. A modern DM/CM can be a deep lying playmaker (Pirlo\Busquet), a destroyer/anchorman type(makalele\song\matic), or a box to box cm(Essien\Vidal\Ramsey) Stop conflating 'modern cm' with playmaker. 1 Like |

Nihilist: Good.. A box to box player, that runs, runs and runs.. We have box to box players that play with the ball at their feet.. Ramires is a box to box CM, and he runs like Vidal.. We have Yaya Toure who plays as a box to box CM and don't do unnecessary runnings when its advisable to pass.. I am not saying Vidal is not a good player, what I am just saying is He is more of a Ramires than a Yaya Toure or Essien.. Yea, he is good at intercepting the ball with all his rough tackles but He is still not as effective as Yaya Toure.. And that's not the kind of player We need at Chelsea. And if he goes to Bayern, Good for them.. At least, we have a Cuadrado to deal with, Who is also good at running ahead of the ball been distributed to him.. B4 Cuadrado joined Chelsea, he was the best thing after Party jollof, and we all liked him.. |

Nihilist:Song is not a destroyer, can't even tackle or intercept to save his life. He is not like Coquelin and others, He is an average b2b midfielder. 1 Like |

@ parrot I love the pictures. I want to see these guys play and hope all this paparazzi will be translated to scintillating sexy effective and purposeful football. Na league we wan win oo and qualify for CL proper and put up a good showing. I hear we can meet some stubborn unpredictable but reasonably good teams in the CL qualifying matches.. We have not seen these new guys play with the old guys, we only feel the right signings are being don and hopefully will translate to the type of soccer synonymous with United which ultimately means trophies. |

Bimffo: Define 'effective' |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by raumdeuter: 2:18pm On Jul 17, 2015 |
Vidal is a better midfielder than Yaya Toure. Yaya is the biggest scam sold to English football. I've lost count of the number of times he was disgraced by above average European midfielders If we say Gareth Bales game is similar to Ronaldo can we then call Ronaldo Bale 2.0 Or Cleverly plays like Xavi so Xavi is cleverly 2.0 Or Busquets is Mikel 2.0 In every footballing terms vidal is better than 95% of midfielder in the epl. Ramires can't get a start in that average chelsea midfield. Ramires can't start in midfield for any top team. Let's now many top teams would bench vidal in the whole of Europe. If vidal moves to chelsea he would immediately be the best midfielder |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by raumdeuter: 2:32pm On Jul 17, 2015 |
Bimffo: I believe in performance in big games. Not Players who bully Hull Reading and wolves and are sodomized everytime they play a decent team. Yaya is an absolute fraud when it comes to the big games. How many CL games has Yaya been disgraced in the past 4 seasons |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Bimffo(m): 2:34pm On Jul 17, 2015 |
Nihilist: I mean, decisive marking, decisive passing, Spilting the defence with through balls, and general reading of the game from defence to attack.. We all know what happened to ManCity when Yaya left for Africa Nations Cup Last season.. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by tess1(m): 2:37pm On Jul 17, 2015 |
Real Madrid have agreed a deal to sign Espanyol goalkeeper Kiko Casilla. Casilla, who came through the youth ranks at Real, is returning to the Bernabeu in €6 million transfer eight years after leaving Los Blancos to join Espanyol. The 28-year-old is set to sign a five-year contract. Hope this will make De Gea stay and put pen to paper. http://www.espnfc.com/story/2526229/real-madrid-agree-deal-to-sign-espanyol-keeper-kiko-casilla |

raumdeuter: Yes, it has been woes in Europe for Yaya.. But don't let us deny the fact that his teammates do let him down most times.. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nihilist: 2:43pm On Jul 17, 2015 |
Bimffo: But Yaya doesn't defend though. Even his biggest fan boys won't deny that Yaya has a problem tracking back. You mean you want Yaya's attacking ability and Vidal's defensive abilities in one player? You're better off expecting Raumdeuter to start supporting Arsenal. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SIRcumalot: 2:44pm On Jul 17, 2015 |
raumdeuter:Why you dey talk like say Yaya never win UCL before ? I suppose this your new found love for Vidal has nothing to do with him joining your team recently ? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by raumdeuter: 2:48pm On Jul 17, 2015 |
Bimffo: His teammates let himdown or he lets his teammates down. he is usually the worst player for City on most European nights. We have seen Aguero deliver on European nights we have seen Silva even Nasri, even Joe Hart. But Yaya get sodomised by Ajax and even CSKA Last season City was about to be knocked out UNTIL Yaya was red carded. Guess how they fared when he was suspended? They won 2 unliely games vs Bayern in Etihad and vs Roma in Rome CL last season City played 8 games: 5 games with Yaya Toure 0 wins(2 games vs CSKA, vs Roma in Etihad and vs Bayern). 3 games without Yaya 2 wins 1 loss (vs Bayern Roma in Rome and Barca) Yaya is the one hindering City success in EUrope |

SIRcumalot:Yaya won the CL and was immediately shipped off to be replaced by a rookie. Tell us any other good player who had that same scenario New found love for Vidal? Before anyone here knew about Vidal Bayern has been trying to sign him 5yrs ago Below was what Juup Heynckes has to say about Vidal 5 yrs ago " Heynckes, who is full of praise for the Chileans," This is a street footballer. Goes into an aircraft, curls up and sleeps, because running from automatism, fantastic - and he also plays football. Arturo could play on a concrete pitch. " Aside Schweinsteiger when fit, I dont know any better box to box midfielder than Vidal http://backpagefootball.com/the-rise-of-arturo-vidal-%E2%80%93-the-bundesliga%E2%80%99s-most-complete-player/19891/ |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Bimffo(m): 3:06pm On Jul 17, 2015 |
Nihilist: Lol.. Actually, Yaya doesn't have the same work rate as Vidal, and I agree with you about him not tracking back, but he helps the defence once in a While, despite his age.. But I will still take a Toure's type of Box to box CM to Vidal's own.. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Bimffo(m): 3:12pm On Jul 17, 2015 |
Raumdeuter, don't bring Schweinsteiger into the same context with Vidal.. Its a fucking insult on Bastian.. After Schweinsteiger, Vidal?? Maybe Vidal of 5 Years ago.. Not the one that played the last Champions league Final.. |
