Oasis007:
ESPN reported he will be out for 6 Weeks.

Yeah Meniscal injury is usually a few weeks to up to 2-3 months, depending on the severity of the injury.
ACL on the other hand you are looking at 9-12 months usually.

codedguy1:
The dribble must have been wicked!

Lol what you highlighted is the usual mechanism for ACL injury which is not what Bailly has.
He has a meniscal injury which normally occurs via a different mechanism.

Whatever the case this new injury just highlights Bailly’s poor marking technique.
Defending is not all about “muzzle”.

Oasis007:
Bailly does not have ligament damage. He has injured his meniscus in his left knee.

- Jose Alvarez

Cc

Afrodoc2..... Can you expatiate pls?

Most likely he has injured his medial meniscus which is the “shock absorber” between the femur (thigh bone) and the tibia (lower leg).
Usually injured when you land awkwardly with your knee flexed.
Lay off period is usually not as long as it is for ACL (ligament) injury which is usually injured when planting your foot and changing direction at speed.

Forget. Fred is useless.

This 2nd half team is looking useless.
Matic and Mata in particular are not equipped to play our new style.

LostMyZeal:
Hope you're not implying that they are average players

Hope you are not implying that they are world class players?

DeadPresidents:
I think United are resolute on their stand because of Inter's behavior in the past. Apparently, we've not forgotten how they played us for Perisiç and Sneijder.

They deserve it. Good luck for them finding a proven striker that Conte wants at the prices they called.

Inter and Real are 2 teams Ed will do no favors.
If they want Lukaku or Pogba respectively they must pay the money.

E be like Inter don japa. Pricing Lukaku like onion.

MRTA7:
Should we all chip in and buy him?

LMAO

Tammy nearly waste that ball.

Oasis007:
Harry Maguire to Manchester United has taken a step closer over night. The two clubs are closer to agreeing how the deal will be structured.

- Mirror

A step closer overnight? Was Maguire walking from Leicester to Manchester during the night?

Lol. A real crayfish.

See why i hate that useless club.
They buy players at the top of their prime, squeeze the life out of them and then start looking for the unfortunate club to dump the carcass on.
No wonder the stupīd club no get legends unlike other top clubs.

It all makes sense now why Ronaldo ran.

We don get Sanchez already. It will not be better for Woodward if he adds Bale to that.

Real Madrid no get legends?

We need a quality CB and another quality CM to avoid stories that touch.
We need a reliable top class CF too but i can’t think of any that is available.

Lana1:
Do we even really need this McGuire? Especially for that price too?
A Lindelof and Tuanzebe defence looked ok. As long as none of Jones or Smalling dey that defence....and more importantly, as long as they dont both play together, that defence already looks better especially now that Young has been bounced.

I think they should forget about McGuire and put all effort into getting Fernandes and improving that midfield.

Don’t be deceived, Tuanzebe is not ready for that pressure. Right now a fit Jones is ahead of him sef. The only obvious odd men out in terms of style are Smalling and Rojo.

The Inter striker was a 17yr old boy not named Mason Greenwood. And Inter are a week behind us in training. Relying on Axel to be a starter week in week out is a recipe to missing top 4 this season.

chidexxy007:
His village people is on his case

A loan move wont do him any harm as Mata will soon give way. I rate him on par with Garner.

Yeah. I really like Levitt. Not just his quality but his adventurous, risk taking style.
He is a CM/AM while Garner is a CDM but they are both good.
Then we have like 4 promising right backs in the youth set up. With AWB and Dalot e be like e don be for all of them.

chidexxy007:
What about Dylan Levitt?
Thought he would have been included in this pre-season tour..

Dylan Levitt has always been the unfortunate one.
Because the other 3 were stars from 14-15 and he was a late developer he never got the same hype from within the club.
Then he saw Garner come behind him as well to stake a senior spot. With Perreira, McT, Fred, Pogba, Mata, Lingard, Gomes he has no chance of making the squad anyway so better he trains with the reserves.
His chances at making it here look slim at the moment but he is a very good prospect IMO.

chidexxy007:
That Gomes stature is a big disadvantage to him, he will get bullied everytime in the EPL. Wish they can somehow do something to it.

He can be someone for the No.10 role if he can build that body more somehow.

Too late. He don nearly grow finish. Anything they do now he go just dey thick like Phillip Osondu or Pius Ikedia.

MRTA7:
I beg make I sign up sharp sharp.

No wahala. As you be my guy na only 100 dolapo.
Others na 200 dem go pay, especially that my broda who didn’t rate him but rated Tosin Kehinde and co.

adeyemi2015:
If Ajax come for him [Loan], I will definitely advice the Board to sanction the deal, same goes to Gomez - but Greenwood must stay and be an integral part of the Team.

That would be ideal. I trust Ajax coaching and like the level of the league.

The problem is that Ajax have their own academy players that they want to groom and sell for 70m like they did with De Ligt and De Jong.

Leyqute:
I’ll be the accountant, pay to me . When KingTom and others were disparaging him na we dey here dey tell them as e be.

I no fit trust you with that kind money.

I was not sure before but i am now certain his left foot is the better one. Having said that I have seen score in game free kicks with both feet, and from considerable distance.
Only injury can stop the boy TBH.

adeyemi2015:
Chong is skillful but he needs to build up his Body!

Most definitely. He has speed n skills but needs work on his body. I think a loan to a puff puff league like Bundesliga or Eredivisie would be best for him.
Same with Gomes. A loan to a smaller club to get some game time would be best. Then next season we offload the Matas and Sanchezes, and bring back the young boys.

Lana1:
Lol. U've been his number one supporter for here right from time

If Greenwood, Chong, Gomes all fail at this club they should sack all the coaches and close down the academy.
At least one of them must make it here, and i rate their chances in the order i named them.
Gomes has possibly the best brain but he is the smallest and slowest.

MRTA7:
He go chop Rashford shirt las las.

On talent there is no position Greenwood is not better than Rashford in. The difference is age and experience, and of course Rashford has that blistering pace.

MRTA7:
Greenwood na Babanla talent but he needs to bulk up a little more. Some pounded yam needed.

The guy is 17 so he is on track. When i first saw him at 15 he was tiny compared to now.

Cards for the Greenwood Supporters Club are out.
Limited release so grab yours while you can.

The fans cheered all the substitutes when named, apart from Ashley Young who was loudly booed.
Wicked people lol.

MRTA7:
AWB is such an athlete that it'll get him out of jail a lot of times when he makes mistakes.

Very true. He also looks like he will be a very hardworking and determined player.

MRTA7:
Dash from the Incredibles. Runs all over but no real quality. He's not ready yet. AWB looks great. Axel looks a little nervy.

Rashford hasn't changed and I can see him frustrating the life out of me this season. If Lukaku leaves and he's not replaced with quality this'll be a very long season.

Lol the best thing we can hope is that Rashford works on his finishing and passing.
AWB has shown what was expected but i still have my doubts about his game, namely his attacking game and the possibility of injuries and/or penalties.

adeyemi2015:
I understand, but he still needs to try his best on that, perhaps learn some moves from the Likes of Martial and Rashford.

Most definitely he should try his best. However his practice time would be better served working on finishing, passing, movement, crossing.

adeyemi2015:
Dan needs to walk on dribbling Skills. He's super fast, but needs to learn how to get pass his Rival(s) with ease.

You can work on most things in football. Dribbling is not usually one of them.

Daniel James looking like an otu player for now.
