Greenwood said his Target is to bang in 30 goals this season

I see him hitting double figures though

the only thing that will stop him is his lack of status in the club at the moment.
He is the one being shunted around for Martial and Rashford to play in their favoured positions

The moment this changes, the number of goals this kid will score will stupefy everyone..

. In addition to understandably not having a strong enough standing in the squad yet, he is also the most adaptable of our 3 front..

Plz guys, who are the players that changed the mentality of Right footed players from playing on the right wing and left footed players from playing on the left wing as well? Ao did them Figo, Beckham, CR7, Giggs, Nani sef dey, this Swedish arsenal, take dey create during their days without playing the opposite way.

I guess the idea is to cut in and shoot.

2 major shifts in football philosophy have led to the preference for inverted wingers.

1) The most significant change was the switch from 4-4-2 to 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3.

With 4-4-2 there were 2 strikers in the box which meant the chances that a cross from a traditional winger would find a striker was still high.

However with teams now using 1 striker the chances of cross and nod working has drastically reduced. Now rather than just crossing for 2 strikers who are meant to supply almost all the goals the winger has to be able to cut in and contribute his own share of goals.

2) The evolution of the full back from a purely defensive player to an attacking outlet providing width. In order to have that space up front to run into it is better that he plays with an inverted winger who drags the full back inside thereby creating the space.

Both of these changes happened around the same time i.e late 90s and early 2000s which is why the last truly great traditional wingers Figo, Giggs e.t.c overlapped with the first truly great attacking full backs Roberto Carlos, Cafu AND inverted wingers like Pires, Ginola, Ronaldinho, Robben, Ribery became more and more prominent.

It is the hope that kills you.

It is you guys that are still expecting anything from the board that are stressing yourselves.

We already said that they spend only if their financial bottom line is at risk, and that is mainly about Champions League football.

Maybe now that Spurs has started spending and improving they might feel threatened enough to buy some players.

It is the fans that are after titles. The board is happy with Top 4 and Champions League football.
The sooner people accept that the better for their peace of mind. It is what it is.

Which kind wahala be this? 600yrs for Glazers and Woodward, and from the look of things, we are no closer to leaving this banter era and I was hyped up for this summer seeing it as a strategic one and for the new season.. Now I don't feel the excitement again, it's all gone. No miracles this time around, heaven helps those that help themselves, I hope I'm wrong.

The club that won the league with 18-point gap is active in the transfer window.

But United is relying on bambiala to be active too.

Maybe we should go back to the days of using Academy players

The United Tradition

Nikeballer:

But the more I read this your reply the more riled up I get. A whole club like United and our highest target is qualifying for CL. How did we end up with the Glazers? I don't mind the Saudi royal family at this point.

Bro I was not trolling o. I was only adding more context to United 66goals last season by saying 10 was from penalties. 56 goals from open play is very poor. Next time I will mind my business before stray bullet touch me.

Madrid scored 70 league goals last season. 11 were penalties. 59 from open play.

Remind me of that proverb about "stones and glass houses"?

Afrodoc2 who's Anthony Elanga

We have mentioned him here before.

Youth team forward. Plays best as a LWF but can also play on the right and through the middle. Similar style to Martial.

Madrid attack was piss poor last season who will even deny that. Our defense carried us for most part. We won the league after a long time that's why Zidane is getting a pass.
