Dadehmola:Exactly. I doubt if Jones at 22 was even that careless and immature at defending. |

AdeLaNa1:By now you ought to have known that you can't get every top player as you do before. Players right now are very selective since we still have over 12weeks of transfer activities. Every top player wants a UCL club like Arsenal. No vex o, truth is bitter. |

SailorXY:I neva said he was shít. Alls i'm trying to point out is dat he is average at best and he's not what we would need if we are to ve a solid defence. And from what i've seen sef, the guy is the black Chibok version of Phil Jones |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nobody: 9:09pm On Jun 08, 2016 |
Spy360:U are very stupíd and quite daft. U would be crying UCL up and down as if qualifying for it every year makes ur useless club any bigger than CSKA Moscow that are always in the same competition every year. Every player wants a UCL team and Vardy is still yet to sign for ur useless club. Benzema, Higuain, Aubameyang ve all rejected that perennial failure of a club u call Arsenal. Dude shift and lets hear word. |

GBR1:Varane isn't world class yet bcoz there's no way in heaven any coach will bench Ramos or Pepe for a 23 year old. Or are we forgetting he was the only constant factor in France's defence at only 21 in the last world cup?? A defence that conceded only 2 goals on their way to the quarter finals?? Just like the Martial vs Lukaku debacle, Varane is a better prospect than Bailly |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nobody: 9:23pm On Jun 08, 2016 |
lekkie073:Any defender no matter how experienced will always ve an off day. Afterall, na Puyol, Di Maria do anyhow for here...... Vidic was already a proven defender. So Torres wiping the floor wont ve changed how the world saw him. But Bailly is unproven and known to be very prone to school boy errors. And at a time when our defence needs stability, is he the kind of defender we should be buying?? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Dadehmola: 9:28pm On Jun 08, 2016 |
AdeLaNa1: I remember that game - i think Madrid won 2-1 or so.. E be like say that dribble wounjure Puyol sef. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by lekkie073(m): 9:29pm On Jun 08, 2016 |
AdeLaNa1:Jose knows why he bought him.....and dats one area I trust d Portuguese......he knows d ability of his targets before getting them |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 9:40pm On Jun 08, 2016 |
AdeLaNa1: That was just a mistake of a young defender. Tores is a very pacing player, Ozil wouldn't win that ball. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Spy360(m): 9:41pm On Jun 08, 2016 |
AdeLaNa1:Another bitter truth is that... Bailly was not even the first choice centre back for Villarreal. http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/10305048/eric-bailly-to-manchester-united-everything-you-need-to-know |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nobody: 9:43pm On Jun 08, 2016 |
Dadehmola:Lol. No be small thing dat day o. A whole Puyol. See boys just dey scream for TV room. The fear of da Lord sef catch me as i dey watch am. I dont think Puyol was even able to stand up until after Ronaldo scored the ensuing rebound. And yh, Madrid won. |

AdeLaNa1:smh, do you know who Vidic was when we signed him? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 9:49pm On Jun 08, 2016 |
sinizia: Your last paragraph. Do you want us to sign defenders that we might not use? We already have Smalling, Baily, Jones,Mensah. McNair says he is a midfielder, so I won't list him. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Spy360(m): 9:53pm On Jun 08, 2016 |
AdeLaNa1:Why isn't anyone announcing Tahitt Chong? Abi nor be una sign am? Mourinho ewoooo! |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by weedtaker: 9:55pm On Jun 08, 2016 |
Dadehmola:I do know varane, you don't. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 9:58pm On Jun 08, 2016 |
Abeg Jose should get a CM/holding midfielder, RWF and a CF. |

lekkie073: I am with you on this. Jose Mourinho is one of the best in setting up a defence. |

Hope we are not going to have a situation where every mistake this guy make next season will be recorded here against him. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by sinizia: 10:31pm On Jun 08, 2016 |
elampiro: I should have been specific, I meant more players generally not another defender. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 10:39pm On Jun 08, 2016 |
The way dadehmola underrates Phil Jones is alarming. This was Phil Jones who was the regular in our defence in early 2011/2012 when we had a run of great results, beating Manchester City, Chelsea, Tottenham, Everton, and the memorable 8-2 victory over Arsenal. He paired either Evans or Ferdinand and was always rated higher than them. Smalling was either on the bench or in right back. It was injury that ruined the party and even when fit, SAF would use him for some dirty jobs in midfield against physical players like Fellaini, Bale etc. Now you said someone who could be said to be easily our best defender on arrival, doesn't have sense. When Jones was fit this season, he was having more clearances than Smalling. He has top our interception chart many seasons. |

sinizia: We should not sell too many. We should bring more than we will let go. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by olabode89(m): 10:45pm On Jun 08, 2016 |
elampiro: I am really disappointed in how guys have been yarning okpas about Bailly. They have not seen him play for United yet and they have started castigating him. Same otondos will start praising him when he starts bossing the EPL with Smalling. The same set of people were busy looking for the negatives with respect to Zlatan. It's a pity... I think they are trying to act like a sage and scream "I said it" if something goes wrong. The negativity is irritating and childish! |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 10:49pm On Jun 08, 2016 |
olabode89: Mourinho recognizes the fact that we don't need Blind in that our Central Defence. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by TheNonce: 10:49pm On Jun 08, 2016 |
Don't know much about "E.bailly" but his attributes are exactly what 90% of our defenders lack at the moment! He is big, quick and strong! Seems able to play out the back and won't be bullied during set pieces like "blind or rojo"! Phil jones is average and never fit, rojo has fitness issues and is a bit naff! Blind is NOT a central defender and is average in that position! We need another central defender at the moment so that smalling does not rest on his laurels! David de gea needs a lot of protection next season and this chap may help to address that! He has potential but we also need a ready made central defender in my opinion! I'm pleased that we are moving swiftly in the market this summer because van gaal, moyes and ed woodward bungled up the past 3 summers with their confusing efforts at bringing in unrealistic targets! We may not be able to offer champions league soccer but we can still acquire quality players for the fact that we are man united and we have joses star power! More signings please......... As for the haters?(the blue mongs and the red and white _wankers) Well haters are always gonna hate, but how does what we eat make them go to the loo? Your clubs are stagnant while we are in motion! Addressing our flaws and trying get back to where we rightly belong! The top! Keep hating while we continue to innovate! Its still man u for life biatches! 6 Likes 2 Shares |

AdeLaNa1: Experienced defender can be forgiven when they make such mistakes while. young defenders are condemned when they make such on rare occasions. Defenders usually peak around 25yrs but you'll always see the potentials in them at the early age. I reserve my comment about him till I see him play for us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djw-6gwC0as |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by tess1(m): 11:08pm On Jun 08, 2016 |
elampiro: Some people's mind have already been made up on that. Rival fans will do it most. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by sinizia: 11:08pm On Jun 08, 2016 |
elampiro:I agree. Our team being thin was our major setback last season. |
