afrodoc2: My brother - I just taya!! Rooney is considered to be a fraud because his wages aren't commensurate with his output but when the performances of the most expensive player in the history of the game (and one of the highest paid players in the world) aren't up to the standards expected, the financial aspect suddenly becomes irrelevant 3 Likes |

Diademk07: I don't have time for this your argument I am talking about Kante in Chelsea and Leicester team. Rashford is a good player so will eventually emerge one day with or without van gaal |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 2:24pm On Jun 10, 2017 |
CapitalCee: Herrera played as CM under Mourinho na and was still rubbish in that role like he was under Van gaal. The truth is the only way Herrera can become relevant is by playing as a DM for a below 6th-placed team which is what we were last season and Bilbao's constant position. He's not meant for a top team. He may have been our best player last season but he's simply not one of the best DM nor CM out there, so what are we saying? As for Modric, he was not only used wrongly by Mourinho at Madrid but hardly played. His best position has always been in the central midfield but because Mourinho wanted a more defensively solid player in the attacking midfield, Modric was used in the said role. That's quite different from Herrera. 1 Like |

Diademk07: As at that time, the squad was heavily depleted with injuries & LVG had no one to run to...hence the "emergency promotion" of Rashford. No? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 2:33pm On Jun 10, 2017 |
CapitalCee: The question is would Rashford have played prominent role and led our attack after Ibrahimovic got injured if he hadn't been promoted under Van gaal? You think Mourinho would leave a crucial moment such as the europa league competition for a just promoted academy player? I find it hard to believe that some people are still of the belief that the performance under Van gaal was due to his tactic. It's a miracle we won the Fa cup with an immobile ageing team that played under him. In fact, it was the young players who injected some intensity into our play and turned the season around because there was nothing the coach could do with immobile players such as Rooney, Carrick etc in the midfield. Or have you forgotten that the same Bastian you labelled as a good player was not only an ageing player but was a crock that hardly played for 2/3 of the season 1 Like |

Diademk07: I think you don't just like the dude Herrera. For the bolded, mourinho used Ozil as the attacking midfielder, so how is Ozil more defensive than Modric? May be if your are a manager Ozil could rival Ramos or Pepe for the CB position. Modric at that time is a bench warmer. Khedira, Alonso and Ozil start for mourinho, it was Ancelloti that sold "lazy" and non-defensive Ozil and installed Modric. Like I said I don't want to enter this long argument, it's a no brainier 1 Like |

AdisaOwala: Abeg tell am, and that was even in the Europa against part timers mitdjiland, he scored two goals there added another two against arsenal 3 days later, scored knocked out westham in the FA cup a week later. Even a blind man will promote any body that emerge like that. Even mourinho who is criticized for not giving youngsters chance, promoted names like David Santon, Casemeiro, Moratta, Callejon, Nacho and Balloteli. |

Funlord2: Lol. Bailly as at that month didn't play well. And he's just back from injury and wasn't playing steadily due to the much reliable Jones-Rojo combo. No big deal, at least he didn't disappear like Ikedia Hazard for full season. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Diademk07: 2:48pm On Jun 10, 2017 |
CapitalCee: I stated that Mourinho wanted a more defensively solid player in the attacking role and that was why Modric got deployed in the role when it's not his best position to begin with. I never claimed that Ozil is more defensively solid than Modric. Take for example in Madrid CL match against Dortmund, Modric played as a AM and they were whooped 4-1 by Dortmund but in the second leg, Modric was deployed in the central midfield in the place of Khedira and Madrid defeated Dortmund 2-0 and could have had more if Higuain wasn't wasteful. So, yes, Modric was still a quality player under Mourinho, it's just that he was utilised wrongly under Mourinho. I did correct my previous post because I failed to complete my sentence when I stated that "Modric was not only used wrongly by Mourinho..." As for Herrera, I won't say I like him but I'm saying the truth about him. We need quality players whether young or old that will take us back to the top. Our midfield performance against that Ajax u23 team was an abomination to say the least. |

AdisaOwala: The same Van gaal that signed teenagers such as Martial, Fosu Mensah? I also remembered Lingard and Blcakett playing in the previous season under him before Lingard season ended with injury while Blackett showed to be a fraud! So, nope, Van gaal has always been about promoting kids since he became a football coach. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by CapitalCee(m): 3:05pm On Jun 10, 2017 |
hensben: Let me continue trashing your lack of facts again. Veron was 26 when he moved to United and have already played in both the world cup and champions league with Argentina and Lazio respectively, and was Argentine captain. Rio was the undisputed best defender in Britain at that time and have also played world cup as a starter, reaching both UEFA cup and champions league semifinals with Leeds. Lampard only starts at westham because his uncle Harry redknapp was the manager. At that time he only get games at england u-21.so your comparisons are way off 3 Likes |

BTW comparing the Pogba situation to that of a declining Rooney is simply a case of apples and oranges. The Rooney wage issue has been discussed here before in detail. There is nothing I will say now that elampiro hasn't already said |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by PietroRico(m): 3:51pm On Jun 10, 2017 |
If your proof of Pogba not living up to expectation this season is his goal and assist numbers, I wonder what your assessment of Modric's season will be. Someone arguably the best in the midfield business right now. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by PietroRico(m): 3:55pm On Jun 10, 2017 |
