I hope we no just dey buy the finest player for market instead of what we actually need. that na were wahala go start.

Funlord2:



@ 25 we are getting him in the prime of his career just like when we gave them ronaldo..

Technically he is better than all our wingers combined and more of a goal threat too....

on the ball he is pure class plus he can also do a job in midfield next to pogba during injuries....

this chap is also tired of being in the shadows of ororo

...his ego is pushing him to a big stage and we may reap the benefits...

tess1:


Though he has good stats despite having limited playing time of late but I don't know if he'll bring the same performance level to EPL.

SIRcumalot:


Upgrade on Mata certainly,Micki am not so sure about,micki should be better next season.
If James was that good he should be gobbling up all the minute Bale dey leave for ground.
You don't see R. Madrid offering us Isco na.


as long as say na Jose want am I dey alright.

Oasis007:


As an AM, perhaps they are on the same Level, but as a RW/RMF, he's an upgrade on him.

tess1:


You did not even mention Lingard.

My fear na whether him go fit cope with stoke and westbrom dem as well as with the premier leagues boisterious soccer....mata can bounce....fellaini sef seems to be on the way out.

upgrade on gini? mhikitaryan dust-am as a RW/RMF

That was when we had the strongest squad in the world.

weedtaker:
na age, you de use conclude when person the him prime? fact is at 25 he rarely get minutes in his current club. dis one na myth, none of james season as a winger beats that of 2015/2016 anthony martial, and in terms of numbers the guy the trek for where mhikitaryan and mata de, so dis ur claim is dead on arrival you really don't know james. like seriously guy? james in ororo's shadow? all dis one na story. james is not the solution to our problem EOD.

tess1:


Why should he be the one doing the pressing? Where were others that played centrally and more advanced?

So, Eric Dier played as a defender in that match. No further response.

SIRcumalot:

from the little I don watch.
his not as fast Micki,I also don't think his a better dribbler than Micki.
him not starting for Madrid is also a big factor.

am just putting my trust in Jose.
maybe if we get him quickly and Jose work him magic on the guy it save us all,all that early season wahala with Micki.

"I'm sure, at the end of the summer, probably we won't have exactly my first options, because it's difficult to succeed in every attempt," Mourinho said.
"But I'm sure we're going to do something interesting and something to improve our team for next season.
"I'm not a silly manager to say I give the names and you have to give me the players - not at all.
"I give the names, I give the options, I give the second options in case the first options are not possible, but I give all the information based on my analysis, my experience and projections for the future."

Oasis007:


Mkhtaryan is faster than James, but can't dribble more than him. That's a FACT!

However, there are more he can offer on the Right wing or as a 10. He can score Goals, an outstanding Set Pieces Taker (something we've been lacking since CR7 left), a good Passer, and a fantastic game Reader.

Mata has really done his best on the right Wing. He's absolutely a fanstastic Player and I pray JM keeps him in the Team. I will prefer Mata playing 10, with Mkhtaryan on the Left and James on the right. But I will hope
Herrera can replace Carrick as a reliable DM, simply to accommodate Pogba as a CM!

eph12:
James is just coming to add up the numbers. He is not the solution to our problems this season. Most of the draws we had this season were just unfortunate. We could have scored a couple more goals and won a lot of them, that is against the likes of Burnley but what happens when we are at the big stage or we play against tougher teams in the EPL? Can James give us that steel we need in the middle? Until we get a player that can before my mind becomes settled. I don't want to play against City like they are prime barca or bayern.

If I may ask is James a winger? How effective is he on the wings? What are his numbers like?

Since landing europe in 2011 james has scored 62 league goals in 175 league appearances for porto...monaco and real.


Is this poor for a benchist? @ weedtaker...compare it with martial mata and mikis league only stats

SIRcumalot:

not a bad dream to have am assuming Rashidi as the main striker.
what becomes of Martial though ?I think Mata role go reduce and we try to sell him.
am not blind to James strength I think his alright as long as Jose know wetin him dey to.

I made that comment about who the better dribbler is based on eye test alone.then I checked whoscored.com after I read this your comment,you should do the same.

codedguy1:


In this your formation do you really think mhiki will be preferred on the left instead of martial?

I have not really seen mhiki play on the left so I have no idea what to expect.

Herrera should not replace Carrick. He is our most mobile CM and should be allowed to roam and not just sit in front of the defence breaking plays.

Oasis007:


Mkhtaryan is far better playing on the Left side than right. Also he's more comfortable playing on the Left. If you really hope to see the best of him, then left side of the Midfield is the Answer.

Do you really mean the bold part?! That means you've watched less United Matches this Season.

Oasis007:


That mean you are expecting him to prepare for play time on the Bench next Season.
