Please tell me what is a lie? That Martial wasn't a first team player?
Someone opined (he wasn't sure) Martial only played the playoffs and I only informed him that Martial was part of the team that reached the Quarter finals losing to Juventus, also pointing out that he was highly rated and that was why we accepted the inclusion of all those Balon d'or clauses in his contract...Please disprove the points highlighted and stop being overly aggressive...

LoRdCaT:
Define world class and you have your answer.

eph12:

But what we have been pointing out is exactly in that article or I no read am well ni? We win the ball too deep and we're even slow allowing the opponents to regroup. We should be trying to win the ball back in the opposition half so our attack can be swift like what happened against Arsenal. The present team is capable of doing this abeg, na just effect of training.

BlueAngel444:
Blame City and Pep, Man U fans believed the 2nd season Mou magic and got their hopes too up.

If Mou was unbeaten and leading in the league, doubt they would complain.

CapitalCee:


Baba leave that thing. Mourinho is a useless fuc"k up manager, he packed the bus in our match with fuc*k...ing burnley. Our current crop of players are world class, give pep this our players and he will walk the league and win UCL. Mourinho is a coward. #MourinhoOut

You still didn't answer me. I hate Mourinho's football philosophy with a passion. I prefer to force a reaction than wait for one. But my question is considering where we were and were we are now in European football, who is the prime replacement candidate for sacking Mourinho? I need names.

joeace2020:


Nobody is blaming City and Pep because they are achieving.. its because people make it look like Pep just came and city became an instant hit. Dude had to buy and it's paying off so why is Mourinho asking to buy to get to his target now a crime?

patrickmuf:
Mou only complained about not getting Perisic and for me, that's not enough for us not to be close to City...Darmian, Blind, Herrera and all the other average players are still here because the manager wants them...When Pep released Sagna, Clichy, Kolarov and Zabaleta, he hadn't gotten their replacements (A big mistake) thus it affected the price clubs quoted for players they were after. Mou should work with Ed to release or sanction their sales if he thinks they aren't good enough...

joeace2020:


I am not being overly aggressive. It's just sad that you want to make a case for Martial over Mbappe when the evidence points to the fact Martial was infact an unknown buy to Many United fans as well as the English press. In fact, Martial was so unknown and underrated a song was made for him.. Incase you need the lyrics.Here it is

Tony Martial came from France,

English press said he had no chance,

50 million down the drain,

As Tony martial scores again!

Na Na Na…

You can argue this if you want but Martial was money spent on an unknown signing. That you even use him playing first team in a squad that got to the quaters of the UCL says all about how you rate players. As for the Balon d'or clause, no dispute the club valued his talent enough to include that but would you compare his value and popularity in france to what Mpabbe was? Why people questioned Martial's talent, no one questioned Mbappe because it was clear to see this was a true, consistent talent. Why do i even think all those clauses were Monaco's way of stripping us of every cash they could get knowing we were more money than sense under LVG

nitrogen:


Am struggling to get your point o, so Mourinho did not have the chance to buy his type of players right? Something is definitely wrong in here, I don't get it! Someone spent over 300m buying and the excuse now is he didn't have chance to get his targets.

Wow!

patrickmuf:
Lol then he failed cos he was definitely highly rated...And talking about Mbappe, for all his brilliance, the current state of the market was a major determinant in the price PSG ended up paying, a price many big teams frowned at...
A pointer? Lemar was priced at about 90m when he isn't as good as Martial.

dubylhover:


exactly,very useless manager,we should try to get pochettino who's an attacking player who would turn rashford to erikssen,would dramaticlly improve lukaku ball control to that of berbatov...after all he wasn't afraid to play against city...

or better still we buy arsene Wenger since he's perfect for managing funds and plays very entertaining football...or y don't we get klopp who his attack is so sharp that even when his team is leadin by 5 goals,there's still hope for a comeback...

mourinho must go..he's too defensive abeg..how can he not attack with Herrera blind darmian rashford et al

elampiro:
Why are we not always in for the best players? Mbappe, Neymar, etc?

People shouting Mourinho spent 300m, do you realize Guardiola has spent more and that Guardiola would gadly request City for 350m if Messi becomes available today?

Neymar1095:
Man u sack Mourinho let him jejely come to PSG ha beg. Neymar has never worked with a world class manager since he came to Europe.

joeace2020:


Thank God you brought this up. How would Mourinho release players when he's been given a limited budget in an inflated market and he can only fix a few areas of the pitch with it. A manager cannot let go of players if he won't be getting replacements. Mourinho is probably showing this frustration because obviously Ed isn't working along his agenda. You can't sell out up to 6 players for small sums for that matter amd expect to get in 3 or 4 and challenge for a season. Look at City's bench. Good enough to walk into our first team. Is it Gundogan or Bernado Silva or Aguero at times that won't make this our avergage team?

BlueAngel444:
I laugh in french, Lemar isn't as good as Martial according to you yet he has more hope of making NT first team than Martial.

Well done sir

I am not making excuses for him.. He's bought a lot and should deliver and in all honesty 2 trophies first year, 2nd in December this year, through to next round in UCL is delivering but we could do more. I am saying we have overspent on dross from moyes down. Miki in Mourinho's current squad is showing to be one. Lukaku is heading that way. Bailly now is becoming a crock. Maybe just maybe this were not the number 1 names on Mourinho's list. That Lukaku transfer somehow tells me so. It was too sudden. We might have gotten the number 1 names for the same or a little above the price of these if our transfer panel was up to scratch.

but but he would turn neymar to a left wingback na

BlueAngel444:
Oasis007 is Spy360's intel correct

City in the current first team bought in Pep's time

Bravo - 15m, Sane - 47m, Walker -52m, Danilo - 25m, G. Jesus - 27m,
Gundagun - 30m, Stones - 47m, Eduardo - 35m, B. Silva - 43m

( Mendy - 51m not included is like a player bought but not playing yet Costa and co.)

total - 320m pounds

Man U

Baily - 30m, Mkhi - 30m, Pogba - 90m, Lukaku - 90m, Victor Lindelof - 33m, Matic - 40m

total - 310m Pounds

Both lists have 3 - 4 players with great recognition before their purchase

BlueAngel444:
In their defence, Mou is making it sound like enough money wasn't spent by the club, (real money 300+m).

What exactly does he want to buy, Bale, Griezmann, Dybala, Hazard.

patrickmuf:
I said you can argue for or against and I was not mincing words, now, let's see your combined City-United 11 and the players you have on the bench, please oblige me...
Back to the crux of the matter, who said our funds for transfers were pegged at 150m or how are we operating on a limited budget...A coach that splashes 75m plus add-ons on one player doesn't sound like one operating on a limited budget, for limited budget, check Pochettino at Spurs...And it's well documented that Mou said he wanted 3-4 players and on several occasions he admitted that he'd be very okay with Ed getting 3 of his targets and the 4th was gonna be the icing on the cake so where you're getting your lines hinged on limited budget is something we'd love to have here...We got 3 his targets and the 4th was outrageously overpriced for his age and talent. You can't be complaining that Monaco fleeced us for the amount quoted for Martial whose best years are ahead of him and on another hand criticizing the club for not paying over the odds for a 29/30yrs old winger whose is best operating from the left where you have Martial and other who can comfortably do a job there, Rashford, Young, Mkhitaryan, Lingard etc

CapitalCee:


He will turn neymar to a left wing back, Mbappe will player centre back and Cavani will man Mark opposition striker. This will be his formation vs Tolouse, Areola, Kurzawa, T.silva, Marquinos, Kimpembe, D.Alves. Maxwell, T.motta, Neymar, Mbappe and Cavani with neymar and Mbappe playing wing backs.

Neymar1095:

He will turn Neymar to a demon Jor. Look at his Madrid team of 2011-2012. Counter attacking demons. scoring 121 goals in season a record I think in LA Liga.
