Having greenwood in this team will automatically makt us title contender They don't know what to do. They will postpone the decision as long as possible. Every day they don't make an announcement is one less day of potential backlash from both sides of the Greenwood divide. |

olabode89: The guy is raw, loves to do push and run but one can see that with proper coaching he will be a handful and solid CF. The main thing I noticed about him when I started watching Atalanta because of Ademola Lookman was his awareness in the box, good hold-up play and excellent finishing. Also, Rasmus is very energetic and can lead a high press. Well that’s good then. I saw that pressing ability in the clips. He scored 2 goals just by pressing the keeper. He is also quite fast for a big guy. If he has all those qualities you mentioned apart from his obvious physical qualities then we just might have a baller. |

patrickmuf: Let's seal Hojlund, it is very important. Levy is difficult to deal with and he won't even want to deal with us so, it will be foolish if we get drawn into this Kane transfer saga.
We have to move fast because once PSG have Mbappe off their books they'll hit the hard and no one is going to outbid them. 100%. If ETH wants him they should get him cos otherwise we will be begging for strikers again. Good strikers are a dying bread. |

Mrcapability7: How much do you do rate this rasmus hojlund I can’t remember watching him sef.  Na YouTube clips I don see. The problem is there aren’t many strikers available. If we waste time PSG will buy him and Spurs will just whine us until they sell Kane to Bayern. Then we will have loan to Weghorst again.  |

CrystalTiger: That's great for us..Was even wondering how they ended up in City's academy sef.. City have better facilities and better coaches. It’s still early to see how things will turn out for them. From the clips I saw his left foot is something and he is a decent size but he looks slow. I don’t know why we usually accumulate players with limited physical abilities. |

patrickmuf: Kane must be crazy. Someone that should be doing all it takes to make sure he secures a move for his good is demanding money like a player who has won it all. Let him be left to continue at Spurs. He is going to Bayern. We should mojukuro and seal the deal for Hojlund because if we waste time on Kane he will still end up at Bayern and by then PSG would have snatched Hojlund. |

Leyqute: I've only seen a handful of his games. His decision making seems to be decent. What other talent does he have that promoted his parents to push him prematurely through the ranks? Speed for an attacking midfielder. Good first touch and close control which result in very good dribbling on the run. Good ball carrying ability, passing, vision. Good movement in the box. Good finisher. Very good decision making. These are the skills he HAD not HAS. Not sure anymore what he still has. He was quick so they played him on the LW a lot of the time, though it was apparent that he was a CAM like Bruno and wasn't wing-forward quick. Then it seems all those years of playing with guys 4-6 years older than him removed all the fancy flicks and tricks he used to try when he was younger. |

Leyqute: I'm especially worried about Shoretire. I don't think that lad will renew his contract with how ambitious his parents are and want him to be. Or is it greed sef? Cos I heard they almost left and we had to renew his contract quickly.
Hopefully he goes out on loan this season to a good team. It is more of impatience from his parents i believe, rather than greed. That impatience is what made them rush him to the point that i think they wrecked his development. When he was 14 he was playing UEFA Under-19 Champions League. When he was 16 when boys are getting introduced into Under-18 he played 21 games in the Premier League 2 which at that time was an Under-23 league. The guy was talented but they rushed him too much and played him in too many positions. I am not really worried about him because i don't see the route to the first team for him if he stays so it might best for everyone involved if he leaves. From all indications ETH does not rate him as highly as some of the other academy players. |

Leyqute: Wayne Rooney's boy to the rescue. 
Jokes aside, we could get one or two good strikers for the youth teams this window.
That aside, I had high hopes for Hannibal. Still do. I want him to succeed at the top, even if it isn't at United. I don't like how his devrlopment over the last couple of years has been handled. These are his formative football years and his talents should be nurtured, not wasted.
Shouldn't have gone to Birmingham at all. Yeah the Birmingham move was a mistake but we have the benefit of hindsight. Another issue was the glut of midfielders in the youth setup and the dearth of wingers which meant that Mejbri, Shoretire, Hansen-Aaron and Forson who are all better centrally have spent significant periods of their development playing on the wings or in attack. The clock is ticking on Shoretire and Forson as well. Luckily we have a manager who won’t waste their time. Once he decides that they can’t make it here he offloads them. |

Puntingnoob: Many midfielders and yet not a single striker Yeah. Not just no strikers but no wingers as well. That is one of the major reasons why our Under-21 team struggles. They sometimes played with CM/AM in attack or on the wings. The striker that was said to be the most talented Mejia came in from Spain in 2019 and has been injured for about 3 out of those 4 years. He is probably finished as a topflight striker unless a miracle happens. Charlie McNeill and Joe Hugill came in the next year and although Hugill has improved a bit he is not a super talent while McNeill has struggled to cope with even Under-21 football. |

Leyqute: I think Mainoo will start at least 10 matches for us across all competitions this season. He must always be available on the bench when he's not playing. We need him to be as close to the action as possible.
Don't know about Gore. He could get some cameo appearances here and there to help his development. Gore should probably train with the senior team while playing Under-21 matches until January, then go on loan for the 2nd half of the season. It is a shame that they all play similar positions. Remember last year when i said they would cannibalise each other? Savage and Iqbal who shone last pre-season have now left the club and the clock is ticking on Hannibal. Gore and Hansen-Aaroen have maybe 2 years to stake a claim on a United future. I think their future at United depend on what position ETH thinks Mainoo would be play long-term. If he thinks he is a 6 then they have a chance but if he sees him ultimately as an 8 then a couple of them will have to be moved on. It is difficult to blend multiple youth players in the same position into a team. |

This guy compared our potential number 2s for the goalkeeping department- Elhy Harrison, Kovar and Vitek. He also mentioned the issue you raised the other day about Elhy- his height. But he still rates him higher than Vitek and Kovar, although he thinks the issue may make or mar him. Nice article. I agree with nearly everything he said apart from Harrison’s height. If he indeed is 188cm then that is no problem. Ederson is 188cm. Harrison is closer to 180cm, however the guy is right about the rest. Vitek is my favourite. For one Kovar is too close in age to Onana and has to be playing regular football now. We can loan Kovar out for 1 more season and if Onana clicks we sell Kovar but if Onana does a keeper fumble we can recall Kovar. Kovar is better at ball-playing than Vitek but neither of them is near Harrison who is Onana 2.0 in ball playing. Harrison plays like he can’t even see the opponents pressing him. Vitek is a giant and dominant in the air and has Schmeichel-like approach to 1v1 cos of his huge frame, but he is not as proficient with his passing (but much better than DDG still). |

izzou: [color=royalblue]You are talking about when campaigns had started
When he left in June to join LP, was there any prediction that PDP would lose because he left?
Even me that is typing did not believe PDP would lose because Obi left.[/color] You said before the elections nah. Not before campaigns. I am not sure the exact month but I know that several months before the end of last year it was already agreed that Obi might be the spoiler. Not taking anything away from Obi’s campaign and how he grew his support, just that I don’t think people were hyping Kwankwaso like that. At least not after the campaigns started. |

Now, we know those who are fishes, and those who are crayfishes[/color] This is just not true. Before the election the pages of this thread moved mainly because of the unending debates between those who felt that Obi running would kill Atiku’s chances (handing victory to Tinubu) and those who felt Obi would win outright. Very few people rated Kwankwaso above the 3 major protagonists. |

Possession is also a large part of what ETH wants. Like I said similar to Liverpool's style of play. We just won't keep the ball much against a City or Arsenal. You can’t wake someone who is pretending to sleep. |
