Elxandre:
Elampiro, you think you can dodge the Rooney talk Abi?

UniqueGem:
You want to start what you can't finish abi?
keep mute let's all pretend Rooney was great. I don't have mb to read lengthy pages of back-n-forth ooo.

elampiro:


Leave them. They don't know once the Rooney stuff starts, it will be what will dominate this thread till the end of the season.

The reason I no longer frequent here is because it is usually same thing, the attack on Rooney, Valencia and Jones. Unless these players leave the club their mistakes will be mostly marked here and unduly highlighted.

chrisley024:
You mean blacklisted?

Nihilist:
That's two assists now, and he didn't even know anything about it.

Elxandre:
Diadem said Pogba is a winger!

It is finished!

elampiro:

The only player I know is blacklisted is Schweinsteiger. Jones is only unlucky because he didn't play from when Mourinho said he began to monitor our matches, that is from December. Once Jones gets a long time to prove himself, he will surely do so convincingly.

lekkie073:
Valencia issue no dey cause any wahala.....na Rooney own be problem. the whole world sees cataracts as an eye problem but elamps sees it as an eye aid

GBR1:

What do you have to say about Rooney's terrible passing and touches?

MrTA:
Rumours of Jose Fonte joining us getting stronger. Wonder if that means Jose will sell someone? Blind? I hope not!

AdisaOwala:


I thought some of Jose's quotes on the Pogba deal implied that the Frenchman would be our last signing (for now)

What happens to Smalling? I think he deserves a starting shirt.

elampiro:


Na lie. Valencia's issue caused more wahala than Rooney’s case. In 2013/2014 Valencia was top among players listed here to be sold. Same when Gaal was here. Even when Valencia was our best player in many matches, like when he played superb in the match against CSK Mosque were he was our best player and most attacking threat from right back, majority of the people still said he should be dropped. That he was always crossing the ball instead of mostly drifting inward. This was the man who gave us our equaliser with a pin pointing cross to Martial and had a very high percentage of Successful Crossing.

Even during the preason, a guy called Funlord said Valencia was a useless right back and he was happy Mourinho was finally going to buy a Brazilian right back. Nothing I said about Valencia made sense to him. I told him Valencia's qualities far outstripped his weaknesses (poor aerial ability). Whenever he plays, there is always the tendency to push the opposition to their own half in the right side of our game

As for Rooney, the season is just starting. He sometimes takes sometime to hit top form if he stays injury free. Even SAF said this during his time.

Funlordjnr:





So why is mourinho trying to sign fabinho from monaco if valencia is the new dani alves?




Bros when a player reverts from an attacking position to a defensive one like valencia did, it is usually due to the fact that they had failed to deliver in their original position( for example rooneys failed attempts at trying to go and hide in midfield)!



Valencia is not, was never meant to be and is currently struggling to do a job at right back!



Or do you want to tell me that valencia is meeting gary nevilles or dennis irwins, or evras standards as man united full backs?

elampiro:


Lekkie073, you see?

As for you Funlord, be aware that even Carrick didn't start out as a midfielder. Scholes didnt also start as a central midfielder.

Again, that Brazilian Mourinho wants to buy might end up being a back up to Valencia.

AdisaOwala:


You nor know ball...

Valencia played as a winger in that period & he was one of the most useless players in the side - his woeful performances summed up the disastrous season we had under Moyes. In his pathetic attempts to cross the ball, Have you forgotten how he targeted the feet of opposing LB's with high precision ?

P.s : in which calabash did you see martial as a Utd player in 2013/2014

Ever since he was converted to to RB, he has been impressive & a good number of peeps here have acknowledged the positives he brings to the team.

Even at that, I make bold to say that no right-thinking Pundit would advocate that Valencia be restored to his default position (as a winger).

AdisaOwala:


Luke Shaw was on crutches at that time (probably till the end of the season),yet his place in the team seems guaranteed.

Unfortunately, our unreliable (and useless) sickler is finding it difficult to make match-day squads for no genuine reason.

Elampiro, can't you see that Jones has been found out to be useless & would soon be shipped out to Bradford or Charlton Athletic?

elampiro:


Luke Shaw has no real competition for the left back wing. He was our best player last season until his injury.

elampiro:

Jones is only unlucky because he didn't play from when Mourinho said he began to monitor our matches, that is from December.

elampiro:

As for Jones, the season is just starting. Many things will still happen, so your premature hate is useless. Mourinho is one who changes his centre back at the slightest cases of successive errors. [s]Remember how Cahil became the darling at Chelsea and soon we saw Zuoma. [/s]

elampiro:

When we play such teams like West Ham, Liverpool, Man City, Stoke, etc, without Fellaini, we can begin to judge the defensive abilities of such players like Blind and others.

AdisaOwala:


See me see trouble oh...

No be you type the words below..



It's good that you yourself don realise say this your former excuse na very moot one..

We are being linked with a new CB, Jones is being frozen outta the squad and you are here talking about Competition.

How come the manager seems uninterested in the "Maldini-esque" performances Jones put in before his injury?



Indirectly, Jones would only get his chance when one of our CB flops - meaning that Mourihno probably sees the unreliable Jones as a weak, overpatched spare tyre..

Phil Jones is a liability to the team!



By that time, Jones would probably be getting nutmegged in the U21 league as usual (all in a bid to regain fitness).....that's if he hasn't been loaned out to a club in the championship.
