What will be the excuse this season now?

Until we tell ourselves the truth. That ETH is a useless coach

ETH go get better players for bench, de play nonsense.
What is Garnacho doing in bench? Why are we playing false 9. No point man.

afrodoc2:
Mount did okay IMO but that is neither here nor there. His best position is our captain's position.

We paid 50m for a squad player whose job is to be a sub for our iron man captain who never gets subbed off. This squad player was our marquee signing of the window. Then we gave him the No7 shirt.

If ETH comes back in another lifetime, he will still be owing punishment for that Mount deal. Not to talk of the Antony deal.

ETH needs to be flogged thoroughly for Signing Antony and Mount

patrickmuf:
Of course I know. Sometimes, na vex dey make us make demands wey dey impossible...

I wouldn't mind if Garnacho and Amad stepped in as our starting wingers until Rashford rediscovers himself. The coaches can't keep starting him ahead of other young players who are better at the moment in the hope that he will pick form.

As an aside, how did Mount perform yesterday?

Rashford needs to be benched. Amad and Garnacho has come of age. I love the way ETH no de send Antony again. Rashford needs that same treatment. How I wish we swap Rashford for Nico Williams. We can only dream

Ballzproblemm:
You guys are fucking toast 🤡🤡

We now need to get another defender

Casemero looking decent, are we going to see a better version this season?

Na ogun go punish Ten Hag if Amad Diallo is not starting permanently on that Right wing

TrebleChamp:
Amass has been shaky since Arsenal scored, he allowed Jesus ahead of him to score which i take as inexperience.

Its a over a yard offside, he has not been shaky. He is being teageted, and he managed Jesus and Targeted by Arsenal players. He has been brilliant

Hojlund and Yoro injured. SMH i dont know why the club agreed to play in this pitch

I think Harry Amass is ready

Even Collyer too

afrodoc2:
Siddon look mode activated on this deal. If he comes we will support him, but I don’t think we should get him.

Me too.

Ellexy:
He was meant to be a starter but his penchant for losing the ball under pressure made Enrique relegate him to the bench for Vitinha. He never got his place back and now they want to sell after one season.

If he couldn't cut it PSG, I wonder if he'll cut it here in the high pressure EPL.

Vitinha is one of the best CM available now, excellent player

Afrodoc2. Abeg bro, i been ask you before about this Oyedele boy, he looks tidy to me today. He might not be first team quality now, but who knows about tomorrow ? And we can loan and sell for big money in years to come ala Cheasea and City

Leyqute:
2-0

Hugill with a smasher! You can tell he’s been waiting to get a chance all day.

Why is he not always doing well during the season proper

Hugill as lways scores fantastic goals in Preseason but when season start he go loss

Leyqute:
Hope we can get a suitable buyer for Hannibal this window.

Even Pellistri, the guy played well for Uruguay yet nobody is willing to pay big money for him.

afrodoc2:
I mentioned him as one of the potential breakout players this season.

He played mostly untelevised Under-21 games last season, so people were not sure how well he had progressed. I suspected he might have a chance this season because he was on the senior bench a lot towards the end of last season, ETH talked to him to specially a la Mainoo at the end of the FA Cup final, and because ETH was said to have insisted on being present when he signed his senior contract.

[/b]

This season, will be his familiarisation season like Mainoo did in 2022/23 season, then the following season he will be ready to cook

Carot:
You mean Bruno that flopped at euros is world class? smh

Ok

afrodoc2:
The chances of an academy player making it at the club are slim anyway so even if Wheatley fulfills his potential, he still might not make it here, particularly because of the position he plays. The good thing for him is that he made a lot of progress over the 2nd half of last season.

Afrodoc2, I never hear about this collyer since oo, until ETH spoke to him at the final. How how he was under the radar since? The boy looks so mature to be a youth team player, he is clearly the best academy product we have. I watch the last match vs Rosenborg, he was superb

Oasis007:
We need Experience in the squad bro, Leaders precisely and this is where Case and Erik come in. Hannibal and Lindelof can fvck off but we gonna have to keep Maguire except we get De Ligt.

McTom can fetch United £30m to £50m, so why not sell him since Collyer can replace him in the squad?! I wouldn't say no to Sale of Eriksen too but I won't mind keeping Case - Squad needs his Leadership.

I agree

CrystalTiger:
Make them troway this scamcho abeg..

Na God go kill ETH if he tries this Antony over Amad this season..

Sancho has not been too bad from what i am seeing, yes he missed that goal. AMAD looks to me like our best winger now, na ogun go punish ETH if he didnt hand him the permanent spot at that right wing

metodman:
It just seems like they Mount and Bruno don't play same position, yet they do.

My pray is that a team buys AWB...I really don't like his play at all, regardless of the match being a pre-season match. He's also not the smartest chap.

AWB no just smart at all. Very Clumsy, na only tackle him sabi.
Mount is not a terrible player, but Bruno is world class to replace him will be an uphill task

Oasis007:
The boy is damn good, playing maturely and honestly shouldn't be loaned out. Its safe to sell McTominay than to loan out the Lad.

We have more players to sell rather than Mctomminay I swear. Eriksen, Casemiro, Hannibal and Lindelof. For me I will want Mctominay to stay. He stays in the bench comfortably and pops up with occasional clutch goals.
As for Collyer, if am ETH, the boy is fully participating this season

See Sancho ! Nice lay off by Amad. Man of the match so far

The drop off between Bruno and Mount is massive.
AWB de play nonsense as usual
Amad our best player (and he scored)
Collyer very impressive

Oasis007:
Amad has Improved a lot and the best we get for rw right now. Yoro is a great addition and a joy to watch. Wheatley and Collyer get future at the club.

Collyer is clearly a first team material

Leyqute:
Much better than the last game.

Ethan Wheatley just lost a goal - shot blocked after Amad set him up . Buildup is better as well and Onana has found a teammate in midfield when they choked us up a couple of times.

Collyer is doing okay. Yoro too- so far.

Collyer is clearly a first team material, very impressive and tidy

Leyqute:
Yoro is really progressive with his passes. The lad can pick a teammate out of a crowd.

Yeah, I love how he is good on the ball. And he is just 18. Very impressive

Yoro, With £52m totals including add-ons, and a wages of about, 114k/week, thats about 11m/year total package for the 5 years he signed. This is equivalent to what we are paying Varane yearly just on wages.

Lannyjoe4u:
With his wages. They guy fit retire here oh

Hiw many years remain for Rashford deals sef.
Although he is a good player sha, Rashford is not as bad as people make him look.

patrickmuf:
Let them keep Braithwaite, they'll learn the hard way. Crystal Palace and Zaha episode about to be repeated.

Big clubs have leanrt their lessons now, no Club will pay ridiculous fees now for unproven average players from Midtable teams.

Leyqute:
We’ve also prioritized younger players approaching their peak over older pros who are only seeking their last paycheck. This is a good thing.

ZKZ will definitely elevate the technical floor of the team, which is really bad at the moment. Yoro hopefully does the same. If we get another technical midfielder who can cover ground and shield the back four, we’d have done a really good job this window. It would be a solid foundation to build the team on.

We need to offload Lindelof and/or Maguire and get on more talented defender. DM is a must Casemero needs to move to Saudi to create space, + Fiorentina agreeing to another 1 year loan for Amrabat and obligation to buy him for 5m Euros next season then deal.
