Aboki ke? Surely, You must have meant Afonja ..

Anyway, the day Mourinho would get to have a midfield similar that of his top midfield of Thiago Motta, Sneidjer, Deco et al is the day he will get a sniff of a real title, including the CL. Let him keep parading mediocre as midfielders!

Totally agree with you.
Mourinho nor know ball.

AdisaOwala:
Madrid sold Morata to Juve for 20m, paid 30m for him 2 years after & dang - they are gonna be receiving close to 80m in this deal...barely a year after signing him from the Italian club !

I really cannot wait for us to stabilize make we sef dey run this kain parole

Lana1:
I remember coming across this on twitter recently.
U buy person for 30m and he spends ¾ of the season on the bench and somehow he's now worth 80m...

£68m is just about fair for a player of his exposure and quality. Belotti, Romelu Lukaku, Dybala will all command similar fees if not more.

Bruhh u no dey tire?

Tire at 6pm

Diademk07:
Well, I remember suggesting Dembele last season, now everyone is screaming to sign him for 80 mil when we could have signed him for less. BTW, I don't support the signing of Dembele for 80 mil. He does not worth the fee at the present.

Moreover, I'm always of the belief that the midfield is the engine of the team no matter how good the attack is. For example, City had a good attack yet everytime Silva is absent in the team, their attack is often in disarray. And what did Barca archive this season with their wordclass attacking trio?

My point is until we improve our midfield with a playmaker, our attack won't improve one bit! Mourinho can even attest to it. His best season were with playmakers such as Deco, Motta, Sneidjer in his midfield. As a matter of fact, he had 2 of these playmakers in his Inter midfield and it wasn't a surprise when he scooped the treble with them. In fact, one of the thing that ruined Benitez season was Motta's constant injury in Benitez's first season at Inter before he later left for Psg in the following season.

Anyway, I will advise Dembele to stay put at Dortmund because he's likely going to get better with the likes of Weigl, Dahoud supporting him in the midfield than ours, Mkhi can tell him better.

eph12:

Right now I'm only interested in that midfield signing. I don't even care if we sign Ronaldo and Messi cos we will still struggle a lot without someone that can dictate the midfield for us.

Funlord2:


"Man united are a club of great charm and a very interesting option. I can only say there’s a very important proposal from them and the decision rests with Real. I cannot tell if it will be done quickly but we’ll see.”




Juanma Lopez....(moratas agent)

ChristineC:
a clause was input and activated by Real Madrid, else Juventus would never have sold at that price.

the same has been done for Memphis Depay and I think Adnan Januzaj and any other potential will get same clause; just in case. this is the new 'loan deal' these days.

£68m is just about fair for a player of his exposure and quality. Belotti, Romelu Lukaku, Dybala will all command similar fees if not more.

elrony:


Hwfa...when are we signing Van Damme and his team Mate Dolph Lundgren?

Funlord2:



Diadem go yarn us! Let us be patient...

Funlord2:


I'm not down with the morata deal but jose brought him to the lime light in madrid, he progressed under conte at Juve and there is actually no striker on earth that can displace ronaldo so he deserved his bench status! He should have remained at Juve in my opinion!

Maybe jose knows what he can offer apart from what we see so we have to just accept it and support the club but if we don't come up with an extra striker we may struggle! The loss of Ibra and rooney needs to be adressed!

Leyqute:


When did we lose Captain Sweatpants?

Funlord2:



The club has given him signs to bounce? He has already said he may need to leave? He has lost his place in the starting 11 both at united and also in england due to his non performance at united? The legends have told him to leave? Jose has told him he would like him to stay if he would be happy as a bench man? Rooney is gone...just wait till he gets back from holiday

Leyqute:


Off the pitch, he still has something to offer.

Funlord2:



Off the pitch? So we should keep paying a non scoring striker 300k per week just to keep singing motivational songs from the bench? Or is he a coach too? Or a mascot? Should that money not be used in arranging contracts for more talented players?

No one here loves rooney as much as me but I can't let his past affect my future! I'm glad the club sees it that way too!

Leyqute:


Just cos he's lost his physical edge doesnt mean he's totally useless. He's been there and he's seen it all. He should be allowed to see out his contract if he wants to, not the way youre canvassing for him to be booted out of OT.

Apart from Zlats he was the only one left in the striking position who Martial n Rash can look up to for advice and guidance, not cheering alone as you mentioned. You think a team's success always has to do with only those on the pitch?

Mourinho had later understood that Herrera had noticed something even the United coach had not remembered.
“It turned out Herrera had taken responsibility in the situation. The reason was that the Mkhitaryan had a yellow card, so if Ajax suddenly put in a counterattack, and Mkhitaryan had fouled the player, he would have been expelled with a one-goal lead. In addition to preventing a potential disaster, Herrera helped United control the game.

LoRdCaT:
One fact is very obvious now, you do not even understand what you are arguing about before you engage in arguments. I didn't dispute the fact that it was a defensive move, I only said that Herrera showed leadership attributes by organising the team. I remember clearly that funlord's post about Herrera being our next captain which you refuted was what made me get involved in the argument in the first place.
