I like Kobbie Mainoo, but if he cannot accept 80k/week, plus may be performance enhanced bonus reaching may be 120k. If he can't accept it. He should be sold and reinvested i into the squad

There are other options in the world. It does not have to be either overpriced Dibling or risky attitude Cherki.

Who are you looking at to be a more suitable option. And do you agree with Amorim that Bruno is better starting deeper where he is currently playing now.

afrodoc2:
Even if we don't buy Cherki, we should not pay 60m for Dibling. That fee is too much for an unproven player.

Thank you, I dont even want him for anything above 25m. He has all the trappings of a potential flop written all over him, I haven’t really been proven wrong many times when i profile a potential flop especially for pure English players.

AirBere:
This man lol. Why are you making the team look way worse. I don't think they were that bad. In the build up to the tournament, many people had them as one of the favourites. In the game Vs Netherlands, they were tipped to qualify by ESPN and Sky sports.

Some of their players just won the treble; Lucio, Maicon and Julio Caesar.

Dani Alves was in his prime, Juan was doing well for Roma and was a starter in 2006 as well. Michel Bastos had arguably his best season leading Lyon to the UCL semi final. Melo started strongly with Juventus before fading off but made the squad as starter just like how Acuna(Argentina) made it as a bench player for Sevilla.

Thiago Silva was on the bench and Kaka although now injury prone was still key. Luiz Fabiano was above average. The squad was not bad as you put it lol. Let's not forget Elano😜our free kick maestro.

I think that 2010 team will completely smash the 2014 team and you didn't consider throwing up on them.

For context, in my opinion, the 2010 team is not so different from the 2006 French team that reached the final.

Coupet was ahead and we all thought he was gonna start ahaed of washed Bartez, Thuram was on his last legs and I think was recalled from retirement, same with Zidane. Wth all due respect to Gallas, he was never a world class centre back. But he and Thuram did the job anyways in 006. They started slowly and eventually got there.

The point I'm trying to make here is that with a better luck and a more enterprising coach, the Brazil 2010 squad could've reached the final too. I doubt they were as bad they way you just painted them here lol.

I watched the game against Netherlands in the quater final, they outplayed Netherlands, its true, they world have gotten to the final vs spain. That team won the confederations cup and Copa America. They are serviceable as a team.

andrewbaba44:
It’s only deluded Madrid fans that did that did that rubbish

Nobody should ever compare that man to neymar

No current winger has even reached the level neymar reached as I speak

You are correct. Neymar was on second to Messi and CR7 as a forward in this recent just past generation. Neymar was magical

afrodoc2:
I am talking about their style of play and the quality of football. I have watched about 10 different Brazil world cup teams. That is by far the most un-Brazilian and disgusting of all their squads. No flair and all muscle and agidi.

The only serviceable attacking player they had was Luis Fabiano. Kaka was already starting to be washed, and Robinho was utterly washed. All their good players were defenders and fullbacks, that is why you are mentioning Maicon, Dani Alves, Julio Cesar, and Lucio.
The 2014 team was mediocre too, but the flair of Neymar alone made them more enjoyable to watch. That 2010 team was a crime against Brazilianity.

Lol. I remember that team, Maicon, Lucio, Juan, Elano, Marcelo, Kaka, Melo, Robinho, Ramirez and Fabiano. They won the Copa America and Confederation cup sha. If they had knocked out that Snieijder inspired dutch team in the Quarters they might have beaten Uruguay and met Spain in the final.
Since Ronaldo Delima retired Brazil have not had another proper world class striker again, thats sad for a team like selecaio.

CrystalTiger:
With our financial situation, £20m is a lot of money..

It was all propaganda too against freedom fighter until we bought him..One question I ask is with all his obvious undeniable talent, why's no one looking for him?

We should tread carefully abeg, we have lots of issues already at the club..

We can easily resell, especially if his wages are not exorbitant. For Example Chelsea can resell Chukwuemwka for a little more than he was gotten as he didn’t make the first team. My fear is for the club to splurge that money we don’t have on overhyped English kids

Leyqute:
Sorry, CapiCee. We shouldn't be going for any player with an iota of rumor that they've got bad vibes. Man United as a club is a pressure cooker and when the going gets tough, every bad quality of our players get exposed.

Even players who aren't associated with bad acts develop them due to the pressure. We should be avoiding future Sanchos, not stocking up on them.

Many times bitten, many times shy.

Alright bro. My own is I dont like these overhyped and Overpaid English kids with no winning mentality

CrystalTiger:
There's so much news about Cherki bad attitude..Also I doubt INEOS would pay that much for a relegation bound player honestly..

Thats not true, just propaganda. And 20m is a risk worth taking. His coach at both Lyon and National team, confirmed that his attitude is good.

Ryan Cherki is available now on £20m, but we will never sign him, what the ckub will do now is to rush and pay Southampton 60m+ for Tyler Dibling. Years later dumb fans who are now calling for him to be signed will start insulting him, his confidence will crash, another waste of money.
There is one thing I have learnt, once, our fans begin to call for the board to sign a particular player, just know that, that player will flop.

afrodoc2:
That is why i have been preaching the gospel of broad accountability for years. Everybody has a part to play. It is not right to pile on only the manager while some people go to work every 9am and close at 5pm at United without doing their jobs, and even worse still, without being held accountable for their incompetence.

Honestly a huge chunk of our woes has been on the people running the club. They give ridiculous contracts to injury prone and average players, they can’t identify quality players, they can’t even profile players needed by the team.

Jokerman:
That's if our scouts get eyes ....

Our Scouts na for social media their own scouting de be. Na player wey de trend we de sign, we no de unearth our own surprise star. Yoro de reign we go sign am for over 50m pounds whereas Huijsen is there for 18m. All these players wey Brigton dey sign from no where our scouts no de reason reach yhat side.

Gustav Isakkson of Denmark is a gem, he plays for Lazio just 23. The guy is really good. These are the kind of cheap quality players we should be buying

Gucciboy:
How do you rate quenda?

He is really good.

larride:
Chelsea don sign Quenda 😂

This one pain me to be honest

Jamiuokolaa:
Seems the return leg would take place at Old Trafford.

We play City 3 days before the tie. If we rest players too much, Pep and his men fit kill us and that might not be too good for the morale of the team just before the trip to France.

Like you said, I think we could do with some injury boosts.

We need to rest players in the league, we need to focus on this Europa, City battering us in the league won’t do anything.
We need to rest Casemiro and Mazraoui in the league, i for add Bruno but that one no de gree rest.
Yea as long as we keep progressing the second legs will be at home

Jamiuokolaa:
Tricky tie...

Who plays at home first?

Yeah, Lyon will be dangerous. But its 10/4/25. By that time Ugarte, Mainoo, Yoro, and Marguire will be back. So we will have more options. How i wish Amad is fit, this is the kind of tie for him

DeeScan:
Una for this thread no good oo .. so zirkzee is this good and una dey roast am week in week out ...

Zirkzee was in steroids today the guy sabi i swear

Bruno is a cheat code from the spot.

Zirkzee is not as bad as he seem earlier in the season, in a proper functional team, he will do very well.

Dorgu is killing our attack i have to admit

If the board know what is good for them they should go and get Jonathan David and DCL on free transfers. But you know what? Our fans who are prone to bad judgement will say they dont want them, they will prefer we sign zxdkkkgfdcvb for £100m and 350k salary per week.

Bruno Fernandes has hit 25 G/A for 3 seasons in a Row, only Salah and Haaland has replicated that in the entire league.

Put Amad, Ugarte, a younger Eriksen, a more sensible WB not named Dalot and Gyokeres in that line up, it will be a different game.

Our problem is that our WB outlet are not clinical in the final third or are just foolish eg Dalot. Then we don't have a clinical striker. We also missed Lisandro Martinez

afrodoc2:
Take Eriksen off and bring Moorhouse on.

For me take Eriksen of bring in Hojlund, move Zirkzee to the middle, this match is too big for Moorehouse

Hmmmn Garnacho is doing well in this second half

Yoro is injured, imagine

Brunooooooo

Anybody who plays upfront for us will always struggle

Garnarcho no get sense honestly

eph12:
So we should go for an EPL coach then? Maybe a well tested coach in the EPL like Moyes. Or if we can try to steal Pep. Since other leagues are championship standard. What do you think about Seria A? What do you think about Conte? Good enough for almighty EPL?

Slot came from League 2 standard Eredivisie, just for context.
Ranieri came from championship standard Ligue 1 team Monaco
Mourinho came from Championship level Portugal.

Even Kompany came from Championship itself at Burnley to Bayern.

Jamiuokolaa:
As if them no dey when the Likes of Crystal Palace and Forest dey kolombi us for OT



But we are being promised that all the manager needs is new players for us to see changes nau. The assumption was that they were always gonna hit the ground running, stay fit and avoid suspensions immediately they join

Are you saying we might wait 6 months into the next season again before we expect to see significant impact from the new signings?

Unfortunately, yes. Or at least December this year, when next season is around half way
