Pogba knows there are a good number of people on his level or (in the case of Mbappe) even above his level in the French squad. He also can't mess with a disciplinarian like Deschamps who is a French legend in his own right.

If Amaka drops Pogba his agent will make a fuss and get him transferred to another club. If Deschamps drops Pogba his international career is over. Amaka no sabi teach anything but Pogba himself na unserious student.

Roland17:
Outside of the embolden.. I have said this and I will continue to say it.. Giannis needs to be great at what he is good at.. He needs to stop settling for low percentage shots.. Chuk just said pretty much the same thing with the video cut. If they are going to send Harden to defend u then you should be smoking Harden by backing him into the rim and not settling for a jumper..

The fear of free throws is the beginning of foolishness. A player with poor FT percentage will often avoid going into the crowded paint, especially in late game situations. A player not named Shaq that is. When said player is also a poor jump shooter you have the early makings of foolishness.

But The Durantula is something else. A true easy money sniper.

Leyqute:
Hummels own goal. Is Raumdeuter right about this guy?

Those that know Hummels well know that he has been finished for at least half a decade. Na only idea and fine boy football the bros dey use bobo people, but as a solid defender the man don expire like confiscated Peak milk.

Sancho is not enough. Signing Sancho and losing Martial is strengthening our starting 11 but doing little to improve the bench as an injury to one of our starters will see the one good attacker on the bench replacing him and then we are left with no other solid bench option but James/Mata...I don't want that for another season o!

You are right though to an extent. If Martial goes i expect another forward apart from Sancho to come in.........but don't rule out a Greenwood like progression in Hannibal, allowing Pogba to play that left side on a more regular basis OR even allowing Hannibal himself to play that left sided when needed. Another player that might make a big step is Amad.

There is also the fact that all though Sancho has played most of his Dortmund career on the right he is as good if not better on the left. Also even if we add only Sancho to that attack we might get a rested Rashford and a rested and improved Greenwood, in addition to either Hannibal or Amad stepping up.

Central midfield was really where we suffered last season, and will continue to suffer if we don't make changes there.

patrickmuf:
No lies but if he leaves, we will need to sign at least 2 attackers as I don't think any of our youth attacker will be ready to step in next season.

Rashford, Cavani, Greenwood and Martial was not enough this season especially when Martial was injured so if he leaves, we need 2 more attackers...The likes of James and Mata should not be playing for us if we are serious about challenging the likes of City and Liverpool...

Sancho is likely coming. Mata and James issue is spiritual so i can't comment on it.

patrickmuf:
Didn't he have a good season the season before last?

One step forward and one step backwards always with him. With his age and experience he should not be having such stinking seasons. He might click and fulfill his potential elsewhere but i don't think he can be trusted to have sustained success here. So the best thing for both sides is a mutually beneficial divorce.

Within 1 or 2 years he might just be another Mata blocking the pathway of our academy players. A fresh start elsewhere might be what he needs.

See the eru wey my Les Bleus carry.

Danilo and Carvalho na overkill. Santos should remove one and bring on Moutino or another more creative CM.

Adrenalin is making Jota play rubbish so far.

raumdeuter:
Dont you like those logic

Giroud and Tammy were the reason Chelsea won the CL from the bench cheering for the team

Extremely tough.

The narrative has now started changing to Giroud with his 0 goal is the reason France won the World Cup.

Just like Guivarch with his 0 goal in 1998.

It wasn’t Mbappe, Griezmann, Pogba, Kante, Zidane, Thuram, Petit, or Desailly.

France has 2 World Cups because of 2 non scoring 9s.

Krychowiak. The L that keeps giving.

Oasis007:
MUST won't pressure Glazers or Board to get us solid Players now, instead of running after a marquee Signing, rather they would prefer to cry later in the Season.

Did the Glazers and the Board donate their collective brains to charity? Does a Supporter's Trust have to explain to the club's management the minute details of proper team building?

Another angle is that Mbappe is half-Algerian so he probably feels some sense of kinship with Benzema. Giroud has to be careful so they don't use African/Berber parapo to ostracize him.

OJURONGBE1:
I think Benzema has fingered that boy's brain to be acting like that even though Giroud messed up with his yarn to the press. Nevertheless, he has gone to make ammends like a big brother, only for that boy to ignore him.

Giroud the older and more experienced player made the crucial mistake by bringing it to the press.
He is over a decade older and acted like a teenager.

Someone of his experience should know that there is absolutely no benefit to taking that accusation to the press, especially during or just before a major tournament. There are however potential crippling negatives to it.

They both acted like immature small boys, the problem is that Giroud is an old man with grey hair.

96forever:
Fabinho is fit, people are making arguments that Fabinho’s competition isn’t Fred rather its Casmeiro. But I doubt that, I think the coach prefers Fred.

Casemiro and Fabinho would be too defensive. They are basically the same player only that Casemiro is captain.

Fred is the better player to complement either of them. As he is more box to box while those 2 are pure sitting CDMs. They play 4-3-3 not 4-2-3-1

BlueRayDick:
Maybe Mbappe was wrong to have addressed this publicly, but I also won't pass much to Giroud if I was in his shoes. Everything he said about Giroud is true , He doesn’t participate in the build-up as much as strikers in the mound of Bezema would do.

Giroud is a hyena striker. Mbappe does not like hyenas.

seankafor:
I just received a call that my dad just passed on..

Well, death is a debt everyone must pay so am not much surprised it's my dad's turn to pay up... Although didn't fathom it could be this early

Anyways I believe he is in a better place now

Accept my condolences bro.

eph12:
The way some popular, influential united fans are trying to push Rice as our savior in that role, I laugh. No single evidence at all

Add small change to that Rice money and you buy both Phillips and Varane easily. And you then spend money Sancho.

I hope people saw yesterday what could happen if we blow the whole transfer budget on Kane. He is not prime Messi or Ronaldo. He can't do it alone, if not Spurs won't be coming 7th with the EPL top scorer and assister.

adebayo201:
Spot on.


By the way, welcome back from the long sabbatical.

Thank you.

On both counts.

patrickmuf:
It's crazy that we can spot talented players here but scouts who watch them closely can't or rather go with the direction of the wind...

Cc: LostMyZeal

Once a few reputable journalists start hyping a player the clubs and scouts get tunnel vision.
A good example is the myth that Declan Rice can play well as a solo CDM when there is no evidence of that for either club or country.

patrickmuf:
After playing over
30 games in the past season, any EPL team that waits for the Euros to spot him is a useless team...They're players that will be made known by their performance in the Euros, definitely not EPL players...

The guy is quality but our scouts have tunnel vision and can't think outside the box. If we can convince him to come over he displaces McFred easily and we will have a solo CDM that can both break up play and initiate attacks.

BlueAngel444:
Philips is like Kante, you think say him go sit deep defend

OK

Roland17:
Absolutely and a good interpreter of space..He would be a tremendous upgrade to any team he joins. I think United can still pull it off as the rivalry on the field is no longer as intense as it was in the late 90’s and early 2000.
I think you guys have done business with them in the past.. Alan Smith, Rio and Cantona I believe were directly from Leeds.

It’s possible but unlikely. Out of those guys only Smith was a Leeds fan. Phillips is Yorkshire born and Leeds through and through so he might not even want to come.

Anyway the blind Bartimaeus scouts at my club would prefer to spend double the money on a player like Rice.

Roland17:
There is no way K. Phillips remains with Leeds after this coming season.

He is a very good technician for an English player. Like I said earlier in the season if not for his Leeds background I would have been hopeful of Man Utd getting him.

OJURONGBE1:
Doc, i have been observing my heart beat rythm for few months especially when i wake up to pee deep in the night. It beats so fast that i sometimes collapse on the bed immediately i empty my bladder. It's not a daily occurence but i am worried.
What could be the cause and what can i do to mitigate this?
I relayed my concern to a friend( nurse ) last week and she told me i dont drink enough water.

It sounds more like a type of vasovagal syncope called micturition syncope. So ensure good water intake like she said, but avoid going to pee while sleeping and if you have to go, first sit on the bed for a few minutes before going, rather than jumping up and going.

Having said all that i don't know you and haven't examined you so it is better you see a doctor for a check. At least physical examination, basic blood tests, and an ECG.
