In as much as it would be unfair to judge him with that gif, i so hate it when defenders go down like that....all in the name of "last-ditch-blocks/tackles".

Stay on your fúcking feet Mahn.

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

AdeLaNa1:
Instead of Bailly sef, we could ve slapped Madrid in d face with dat 30mill for Varane

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:

So the guy is shiit because you saw one .gif? Should I produce .gifs where Smalling was used to wipe the floor? & yet Smalling will stroll into Chelshit or Nyashnal team.
If Chelshit fans dey throw tantrums & their Nyashnal neighbors dey chew gworo as usual, you sef go join them?

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

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:

I think we bid a bigger sum for Varane but it was rejected. Varane isn't exactly world class yet either, in fact far enough from it currently and would never be worth the silly price Madrid would want for him. I'm perfectly fine with this signing at the reported price.

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

Lets see who Chelsea wan buy after djilobodji et al

lekkie073:
if u isolate d clip where Torres chance vidic to score u would believe dat vidic is not good.....I expect u to know better

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??

AdeLaNa1:

I remember that game - i think Madrid won 2-1 or so..

E be like say that dribble wounjure Puyol sef.

Jose knows why he bought him.....and dats one area I trust d Portuguese......he knows d ability of his targets before getting them

AdeLaNa1:
This Bailly looks like a disaster waiting to happen. If Torres can destroy him like dat, den i wouldn't want to see what the Özils, Sanchezs, Mahrezs and Defoes of the EPL will do to him

That was just a mistake of a young defender. Tores is a very pacing player, Ozil wouldn't win that ball.

AdeLaNa1:
U dont know much about him but u are happy to see him at United?? U forget not everybody go blow like Martial.

Another bitter truth is that...


Bailly was not even the first choice centre back for Villarreal.

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.

smh, do you know who Vidic was when we signed him?

sinizia:
Some of the comments I'm reading here is very funny to me. Which defender hasn't goofed before?

Boateng? Terry? Vidic? Ferdinand? Smalling? Koscieny? Gallas? Pique? Varane? Skertel? Sergio Ramos? LOL


If you actually dig deep, you'll find out that every defender MUST goof once in a while.


The match that's being talked about, I watched that match live and I think it ended 1-0. In that match, Eric Bailly (I didn't know he's the one then though) was superb in that match along with his co-CB. They frustrated Athletico for almost all through the match till towards the ending when Torres was introduced and he went on to score that goal. I'm pointing this out coz people are disregarding his entire performance in that match.


I'm not gonna hold briefs for Baily, but I know I won't bring out my sword of judgement till I've actually seen his displays for United. If Smalling can eventually become a rock for us, then Baily can come good for us. As for now, I won't judge him yet. Time shall reveal all.


Mou should sign more please. Let's have too many options available to us.

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.

AdeLaNa1:

Why isn't anyone announcing Tahitt Chong? Abi nor be una sign am?

Mourinho ewoooo!

Dadehmola:

You probably don't know Varane.

I do know varane, you don't.

Abeg Jose should get a CM/holding midfielder, RWF and a CF.

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

I should have been specific, I meant more players generally not another defender.

Hope we are not going to have a situation where every mistake this guy make next season will be recorded here against him.

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!

Mourinho recognizes the fact that we don't need Blind in that our Central Defence.

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!

AdeLaNa1:
Except u watched the match, or have seen the video/gif, i doubt Bailly would be able to handle Suarez or Ronaldo when he couldn't even keep Torres at bay. Yes Torres did more than that to Vidic. But at least Vidic was well known and a more composed defender. Vidic would ve been easily forgiven. Not one mumu defender wey just get power and no brain.

Anyways make we sha dey look as he go perform. I'll be more than happy to be proven wrong concerning the guy tho

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.

I agree. Our team being thin was our major setback last season.
