Yoro is starting.

patrickmuf:
I thought they said we have a budget of around £200m. We have spent a little over 100m and we have made over 50m in player sales so, spending another 100-150m should be well within our means.

Ugarte and Zubimendi won't cost more than £100m which is quite fair. McTom, Casemiro and Erikson should fetch us close to £60m.

One of Maguire/Lindelöf will be sold which should also bring in £25m or something close to it.

We made over 50m in sales?

TrebleChamp:
Who would you prefer?

Apart from clips i have not seen much of either of them so i can't speak to their quality, but stylistically i prefer a Zubimendi type of player to an Ugarte type. From the clips i watched Ugarte seems to be tenacious off the ball and similar to Ander Herrera but that is not good enough on the ball for me. There is also the consideration that he moved to PSG for big money and struggled last season which is why PSG want to offload him to buy Joao Neves.

I didn't even watch the Spain vs England match that got people talking about Zubimendi. It is all fun and games when your team has all the possession, and you are given the time and space to play Alcantara-style idea ball, however I don't know how good he is when his team does not have the ball and when he has to cover open donut-shaped spaces in midfield.

patrickmuf:
If McTom, Casemiro and Erikson leave, then we will need to sign 2 midfielders.

I am still expecting Saudi Arabia to come calling for Bruno.

I am suspecting it would be one of Ugarte or Zubimendi cos each one will be relatively expensive. I don't think we will spend big money on 2 midfielders, especially if we still aim to get De Ligt or Branthwaite.

TrebleChamp:
Ugarte will be the better signing for United, but if they sign both we move...

We are not signing both. It’s either Ugarte or Zubimendi.

No Hakeem?

List discredited.

Oasis007:

We need him to complete our team for this year's FA Youth Cup. With Wheatley gone, the team is lacking in the CF position.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I was talking about migration, and one saying that posting videos on SM means we are the "loudest"

Do you really think that in a country of 1 billion, people are not making videos of how to game the migration laws of another country?[/color]

Indians prefer to do such things in closed forums like their versions of NL.

Jodera:
No ooo... That's Nwaneri(a midfielder) or maybe you meant Duberry who most of us wants him deputize Saka.

But this one is Chido Obi, our Skillful Haaland that have been terrorizing the academy, tho he's just 16yrs old(I dunno if 16yrz is "just" nowadays )

He once scored 10 goals in a 14-3 win against Liverpool (in u-18). Scored 7goals against I think Norwich or West Ham(either U-17 or u-18). And he scored a couple of 4goals. All these happened just last season oo. We bought him from a Danish club two years ago.

Because of these exploits, Bayern, Dortmund and now Man u no wan let our pikin rest

Cozier-Duberry has already left you guys to go join Brighton.

Chido Obi seems set to leave as well. The only question is where he is headed.

raumdeuter:
The time he scored that goal vs Arsenal remember that commentary

18yr old Wayne Rooney

He was still 16 when he scored that goal. That was in 2002.

BlueRayDick:
Don’t mind him

You want to mix hunger and guns. It is not a coincidence that most places with that mix are in ruins. For this country, na olokpa go first collect and after olokpa don run back to barracks people will start enforcing jungle justice.

oliverano:
16 year old Rooney was fire. If you watched him in 004, you won't be saying this lol.

If he wasn't injured, May be, just may be England would've defeated Portugal then go on to beat Greece in the final. Rooney was that good at 16.

Too many ifs on 16 year old Rooney but he was that good and edges yamal at 16 in my opinion. But the fact that yamal actually won the whole thing is something to write home about. He's very good too.

Football is a team sports so anything can happen.

Rooney was over 18yr at Euro 2004. He was probably as good as Yamal as a 16yr old, but the evidence is scanty as Everton didn't really give him minutes until he was nearly 17.

BlueRayDick:
Where u see corner bam 16 year old with Kala?

I are exaggerating jare. If gun was that accessible in Nigeria , people would be getting robbed and killed everyday . The shootings in Nigeria for pass America sef

Dayo wants to turn Nigeria to Somalia. Lagos will turn to Mogadishu overnight.

I just read that we are trying to snatch Chido Obi from Arsenal for our Under-18s. The boy's goal scoring record last season was ridiculous.

patrickmuf:
I was particular about how he receives the ball from the CBs and goalie, his passing and positioning.

His positioning helps him intercept a lot of balls, I feel that is one of his strongest points. Then, his tackling is also very good. His passing and turn on the ball is good but can be improved on which is very possible as he is still very young.

We will see if we eventually sign him. Hopefully he is able to cope. The pace of the English league sometimes exposes people's weakness on the ball in a surprising way. An example is Amrabat.

BlueRayDick:


This country there is no consequence for actions.

Nigerian leaders are possessed.

patrickmuf:
I have taken time to watch clips of Ugarte. One thing I noticed which is at odds with what has been said about him is that his passing is underrated with his tackling catching the eye first. Ugarte is very much in the mould of an old-school but in a team that keeps the ball, he can very much hold his own...

He will be a very fantastic signing...

I have not really watched him but depending on clips is usually dangerous.

I am reading that the Yoro fee is actually 52m (60m euro) pounds plus another 7m pounds in addons. That is actually steep for an 18yr old CB with very little experience.

Oasis007:


Rabiot as free Agent..........Who says no to deal?!

I really like Rabiot as a player but his mentality and character is the type we are trying to kick out of the club.

Plus his troublemaker of a mother is still his agent.

typicalgamer:
Fabian psg

He won’t cost above 60

Although not a hard tackler he’s a work horse who can do just about anything

Then there mikel merino he won’t cost above 40
Also a work horse

Zubimendi there’s too

Zubimendi might be a good option. He is a proper 6 who can use the ball and will not be expensive. Fabian Ruiz and Merino seem to be more of 8s.

patrickmuf:
I can't even place my head on any.

I'd have suggest Rodrigo De Paul but he is 30 years old.

De Paul is more of an 8 not a 6. Plus, i don't think he is good enough. And yeah, the age thing excludes him completely.

patrickmuf:
Our interest in Ugarte seems to have cooled. We need to sign another CB, LB and RB (If AWB leaves).

I hear that Ugarte is limited on the ball. We need someone who is not only a defensive beast but also able to pass out from deep positions.

popizaino:
You're not been sincere with yourself.

This is similar to a Yahoo Boy wey never blow promising that he won't buy a luxury car after he blows.

Imagine a player of Zidane's talent coming back to hustle for our wretched NFF when he can win a World Cup with the European country of his birth.

larride:
Then we need to get a reliable LB. Shaw has shown that he is not reliable.

I think that is why they are making inquiries about Kadioglu, who was the LB for Turkey at the last Euros.

larride:
We can still manage and patch Maguire. Lindelof needs to move on.

Shaw too needs to be moved on but I doubt that's happening.

Shaw is not moving on anytime soon.

Amass is not ready and there are rumors that Malacia's knee injury is career threatening. Apparently, he rejected the club's choice of surgeon and went with his own option, and the knee was butchered. He is back in individual training but there are concerns he won't get back to his previous level.

Pegasus01:
I'd chalk the fee up to the age and his prospect. Probably more of the potential he has than performances he has shown so far. But I wouldn't know, it's clips that most of us have to go by. He seems to be the most favored option out of the list United has been active with tho.

-Yoro
-De Ligt
-Evertons Jarod

Yes. It is more to do with his potential. Even the performances so far look impressive ON PAPER. He has been playing topflight football as a CB in the breeding ground of elite CBs since he was 16.

The main question should be is he worth the fee? I have never seen him play and YouTube highlights are not trustworthy.

patrickmuf:
I don't want another Ronaldo episode all over again in 4 years time when he is about entering his prime. Left for me, the club should have backed out when it became obvious he preferred Madrid unless it was all stories cooked up by the media.

He definitely preferred Madrid.

I don't care if he moves to Madrid in 4 years because that would mean he has been excellent for us, and hopefully helped us win titles. Madrid would not come for him in 4 years if he has been poor.

izzou:

Something wey Kendrick don leave stadium with winner's medal, don do victory parade at his Juneteeth concert and in clubs all over the world.

The horse has bolted on this VAR appeal.

I am not even a Kendrick fan with his forced rhyming, but it is what it is.

You can’t be asking for VAR after your opponents have left the stadium with the winners medal.

Drake lost this one. He can try again later.

raumdeuter:
I don't know. I think that's more of a UK thing.

Even in the US. One of my guys was a support worker in the US for a while even though he studied Pol Sci.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Which money were they billing, Master?

Money for Postinor the 2nd? [/color]

It does not matter, as long as they show workings.
