How many left-foot strikers do you know that are crap? All I know is most left footers are very good at striking the ball from Rivaldo to Raul to Vieiri to Di-Stefano to Johan Cruyff to Puskas to George Hagi to Van Persie even to Amuneke and Patrick Mboma. A left footer finds it very easy to take opposition defenders by surprise because their brain is wired to go in the direction of a right footer 90% of the time.

I can only speak for myself, but in my uni days and youth amateur career, this left foot got me some golden boots.

Left footers tend to be exceptional with their left foot but useless with the right while right footers tend to be a bit more balanced.
Good examples of the latter are Cruyff and Di Stefano who were not left footers but actually right footers who could use their less dominant (left) foot very well.

Douglas costa and Renato sanchez told to find new clubs by bayern! Which of them is worth the punt since they would both be cheap?

hahaha after all dayo's boasting about this boy when they signed him. ah o ma se o.
e no go funny if we go buy renato sanches at a knock down price after all dayo's yarns when they bought him.

Oboi the thing do me like film trick. I was lodged in nearby Moorgate with a friend . I was supposed to be taking this person to a rooftop beach party in Brixton, but I wanted to flex my social capital and decided to take the person accross the river to Borough Market via Bankside.


We were sitting outside drinking cocktails when those fools entered. They were are the top end of the market by the Shard though, soI didn't see the attackers, I just saw people running and later heard gunshots


When I saw people screaming, running covered in blood i took off straight and ran into one bar for safety. That's when I realised that I had lost my phone...and my friend

My friend wasn't happy when I later spotted the person in the crowd. No ubers were running and the roads were closed so I doubled back all the way to Mansion House on the other side of the river to get to my hotel.

To make matters worse, my wife knew I was in the vicinity and had been ringing the hotel to find out if I was safe as my phone was now off. Almost as soon as I got in the room, I got a call from reception say my wife was on the line...needless to say it was a bit awkward because my friend was in the room.

Throughout the night, helicopters and sirens just dey whiz past us. And when I went out to buy a coffee this morning, BBC was shooting live coverage on the road yards from the Starbucks.

It's been mental.

Thank God you are safe bro, hope your friend is fine too?

PietroRico:
not entirely. It goes a bit further than just opinion if you ask me. You should know this. Trying to avoid needing to spell it out.
Even if we agree it's a matter of opinion, there has got to be levels to it.


Eventually hindsight will do justice to any form of doubt as to whether a fee was outrageous or not.
I'm sure there are people that felt 80m for Ronaldo at that time was outrageous. When it's clear now that it was actually a bargain.

And you technically cannot call belloti a one season wonder till he fails next season

For now belotti is a 1 season wonder until he does it for multiple seasons.
I say Pogba for 89 is outrageous and Real Madrid also said so, but you say it is not and United agreed with you so it is a matter of opinion.
If posterity will judge then you should not criticize any fee, there should be no levels to it. Who decides what the levels are?
That a club has money does not mean you start wasting your funds buying players you do not need for fees that make no sense. It is about buying the right players that will help you build a team NOT just buying the most expensive players out there.
If the player is expensive but fits the needs of he team no one will complain. But just breaking transfer fees willy nilly without a clear cut plan won't take us anywhere.

Modric is going to be 32 in September.
I think we missed the boat on him years ago.
If Madrid are desperate this might be an opportunity to be the one playing another club for a change.

elrony:
Cas + any of Kroos , Varane or Carvajal .. Please! !

Isco or Kroos or Varane. Give us 2 of them and take Davido

Happy Bday Elrony

PietroRico:
that would also mean if my club is paying 70m for omeruo, I won't voice my concern, if it satisfies the above point. Of course no.

If I support 89m Pogba and kick against 50m matic, it would make me no hippoccrite, as elamps was accusing me the other day. I just be no get strength that time.

Accepting the market for what it is, is knowing 86m Griezmann is not outrageous, but 90m Bale is.
If anyone wants to attack me, it should be based on these, not the fact that it looks like I opined that we are free to be throwing money for every Tom Díck and Harry

I hope I don't have to revisit this after today

But the point is that what is outrageous is a matter of opinion.
To some Pogba for 89m is outrageous but to others it is not.
Those that said nobody has any right to question the Pogba fee have no right to question any fee paid by the club for any future player. After all "is it your money"?
You can't pick and choose when to use that line because the appropriateness or outrageousness of a fee is a matter of opinion. E.g the release clause for a 1 season wonder like Belotti in my opinion is outrageous but if United pays it the "is it your money" proponents should not complain.

Funlord2:
Too unfit and too expensive for someone who may go missing when you need him the most during the season!

Asides from that he is the answer to our left and right wings but it's a gamble I won't support the club in taking

Of course I would not want us to go for him now esp with what the fee would likely be, that ship has sailed.
Like pietrorico said he depends so much on pace n power that his inability to stay fit is a concern.

Funlord2:
After last night james rodriguez and Gareth bale really need to re evaluate both their foot balling lives!

Zidane has shown that he can be trusted to make the right footballing decision rather than an emotional or PR driven decision like starting an unfit Bale in his home country or playing a lazy James over cheaper home grown talent.
If (but it is a big if ) Bale in particular can stay fit he is a world beater.

raumdeuter:
afrodoc2 elampiro and those guys who are pissing in Madrids nostrils

How is that pissing contest going

Your memory is failing you. Elampiro and I were the ones kicking against the pissing contest scheme. Better enter ferry and look for SailorXY.

Wariz diz?

It depends on Zizous's line up. Isco gives them the ability to play a more possession oriented game rather than the one-dimensionsl and unfit Bale.
But with Bale they are deadly at counter attacks and more decisive overall.

Funlord2:
So we don't need wingers? Or you did not see where I listed out 3 number classic number 9's and the 2 kids after them?

Or we are good with lingard and young?


I've told you to forget about aubameyang...you can clearly see why madrid is trying to throw morata to anything that moves as a sign of where he is headed! His coach has bounced psg have made a move...we are not even looking his way and the boy has clearly disrespected many clubs by saying "I must only go to real"...psg have no shame so they can be forgiven for not knowing how to act like a big club yet..but we are not looking at him!


Lewandowski has been chased by us for 4 years...that is realistic! He is 30 and is preparing for his last big move and is probably tired of seeing braided midfielders or wingers with zero assists as those meant to provide from the wings or midfield for him!

Belotti is a solid target man who is doing big things in a burnley type team in serie a and you say we should not take a look?

Dolberg is raw but has the tools to be a solid enough option from the bench or even to start or be paired with both rashford or zlatan! Lukaku is not my cup of tea but he gets the job done!

What else do I need to say bruv?

Forget about Dolberg. There is no way we are buying that guy to come and share time with our own Rashford. And a rashford n dolberg partnership will take us no where.
Belotti has done it for only one season, he will be a greater than risk than the others.
Bayern are very very unlikely to sell Lewandowski, he is actually a longer shot than Aubameyang.

If it is about wingers then Dembele is the truth no doubt.

Funlord2:
Well...I looking forward to a signing of a clinical finisher...."A lewandowski?".. "A belotti?"..."Kasper dolberg?" Or even an unknown quantity like the dortmund wonderkid "dembele" or "Irvin longanzo" if you will! Those last 2 possess the X factor in their boots and given the right guidance could be transformed into monumental false 9's like messi!


Neymar is some Alice in wonderland _shit! Kane can't happen! Aubameyang can't happen! Lukaku is not a united style forward but his numbers are currently holding on to the microphone for his case for now!


Griezmann "might still happen" so do not fret over what the haters may say...but those guys in the 1st paragraph are our normal standard! Let's see how it goes!

Dembele of dortmund is a winger and is not and will never be a 9, Kasper Dolberg from the 3rd rate dutch league that disappeared like the fart of a leprous witch in the europa final is not ready (and may never be), Lozano is a winger and not a 9.
Belotti might be a one season wonder, i won't want us to get him.
Why can't Aubameyang happen? If we had chased Aubameyang the way we chased Griezmann things might have been different. You guys said Aubameyang was going to Madrid and that we and other clubs had no chance, now we are hearing he has almost sealed the deal with PSG.

Aubameyang, Kane, Lukaku are my preferred choices at this moment in that order

sinizia:


You missed the sarcasm in my post even with my grin emoji visible. I'm the head of the #ZlatanItsTimeToGo crew, have you forgotten? I've publicly written on here before Zlatan got injured how I wanted him to get an injury during his holiday so that the club can get me Aubameyang and his contract is not renewed.

We need a new striker and if it's up to me, Aubameyang would've been bought by now while Zlatan leaves. Zlatan is not needed going forward, we need a striker with pace and a bit younger and Aubameyang ticks that boxes for me.

My reply was me mimicking a typical Funlord's (the post was directed to him) reply who will always want Zlatan to stay as he's fond of the guy.

Lol that is true. I had forgotten, though i suspected you were kidding. If are serious about getting back to the top we have to sign a top class no 9. and i don't want bellotti, the annals of serie A are filled with 1-2 season wonders.

sinizia:
Stick with Zlatan.

Haba na so you hate your club reach?
But seriously we have to get back our reputation in the transfer market. Practically every striker is being linked to us; Lukaku, Belloti, Lacazette, Morata, Aubameyang.

Funlord i sight you.
Now that Griezmann seems to be off the table who do you suggest we go for?

GloryIsaac:
E go bad if we buy this guy after all these trolling oo but no goals, no assists is extremely bad oo

My broda e go bad o.
But make we no lie make we no thief, the guy give Dayo real L for this season.
Renato that has the first touch of a ra.pist and the second touch of a serial ra.pist.

raumdeuter:
You have helped us in the past with Owen Hargreaves, Bastian Schweinsteiger, forget that private island and ocean front propety in Sokoto I was planning to sell to you, How about buying Renato "Samson" Sanches for half the wages of Schweini

All champions league winners with goals and assists to their name while dominating for Bayern.
If your braids to braids midfielder does a thousand times better than he did this year he still won't qualify with his big fat ZERO.
When Vidal and Thiago are there? If we want to be maga sef , we will go for people with goals and assists...not that unproductive boi.

raumdeuter:
Ashley Young as a more experienced player who played from defence to midfield to attack had 1 assist in 1400mins of football. If we find out how much Ashley was bought for, normalize for inflation

Ashley Youngs career reads 14 goals in 5 seasons as a winger, from winger to midfielder to left back to right back to the bench where he should rightly be. Its hard to fail harder than that, Not even Arda Turan failed that hard.

If Renato scores 100 times the goals he scored this season how many will he score?
If Renato makes 100 times the number of assists he had this season how many will he have?

Come back when your boi puts one on the board. Then we can start extrapolating and using multiplication table......for now he is a big fat ZERO.

raumdeuter:
No one will argue that Renato failed in his first season but he is 19 and has time to develop unlike a 31yr old Schweinsteiger on 200pounds per week who ended getting given for free with no resale value

If Renato fails we still have our bilateral agreement with our loyal maga ManLAWMAchester United who takes our trash they will take him from us as usual and give him a 200k a week wage

No we take only those ones that helped you to win champs league titles while registering more than ZERO assists and ZERO goals.
Help yourself to this Braids to Braids midfielder.

raumdeuter:
His stats wasnt much different from Ashley Young even though Ashley played like 500mins more

Ashley Young ( a known otu oshi by the way) playing mainly as a DEFENDER has an assist.

Your Braid to Braid midfielder had ZERO assist. zero times one million is still ZERO.

Mathematically speaking Renato had ZERO PERCENT of ashley young's assists.

weedtaker:
leave am, i don even forget seff say person like renato sanches the play for one european top team.

but doc you badt o, wetin carry you go the find about that guy, when we here are busy looking for the striker that will fit jose's system?

When a Bayern icon and immortal like the great man Matthaus calls Renato a failure mere mortals like us must listen.
The truth is i was not convinced about the guy cos of his poor technique. I always suspect the hyped players coming out of that Portuguese league e.g Mangala, William Carvalho e.t.c

raumdeuter:
He barely played and he is 19yrs enough time to adapt.

Whats going on with Luke Shaw. 40M buy will he go the way of Schneiderlin, Schweinsteiger or even the 60M Martial or the 80M DiMaria

19 kini, taa there! Did you not hear the reports that the guy is using African age? If una like make una feed am growth hormone to grow up e go just dey thick like Pius Ikedia. lmao

Shey you know that 0/10 is still 0. This una Renato at 20m, 5m, or even 10K euro is still a bad market with his ZERO ASSISTS AND ZERO GOALS.
When he is not a defender or goalie?

This Renato guy is looking like bad market o. NO goal, NO assist? When he is not a goal keeper?
Haa shey no be say dem don gba Bayern like this?

raumdeuter:
Renato Sanches had a disastrous 1st season at Bayern. and everyone knows that

You don't say.

How good is Naby Keita? i watched him in a few games and he looked like an all rounder midfielder. Can he play at the next level?

chic2pimp:
Why are you people like this?

When i said the guy's post lacks logic and coherence last week it was not beef. Never has a more loquacious but tympanitic poster graced this forum.

Renato Sanches ZERO goals, ZERO assists all season. Wow, just wow.

Renato Sanches ZERO goals, ZERO assists all season. Wow, just wow.

elampiro:
It looks like Griezmann is going out of the picture, and guys are now forced to think for a real alternative. Before they said there was no alternative.

All the Griezmann or bust fans here should come and defend themselves. lol

There is only one KEANO!
