My policy on transfer. It is not my business. Anything that will make the team work is okay by me. But zero addition will not make the team work. Addition of only young talents without one or two signings of established players will make next season a pain for the fans. I also don't care who stays or who goes.

Everything you keep saying about shaw in this forum is crap. Did Shaw snatch your childhood girlfriend from you?
Shaw came to our left side which is the best attacking side of the team and we failed in everything we participated in. I remember warning that Shaw will make Martial useless. grin grin grin

Shaw has only one route to attack and so predictable. That makes it hard for Martial.

and Shaw didn't pocket salah home and away this seasonhuh
abeg go and seat down undecided
Relegated defenders pocketed Salah this season. It was his off season until latter stages. Last season, only Young pocketed him and took him hom in the whole of Europe. Salah was the most deadly attacking player in the whole wide world last season (bar Ronaldo the most deadly scorer).

Abeg, ditch that semi finalist yarn, England had an easy route and collapsed at the first solid opposition.



I need to know why he was not hyped when he played for the country.



Young was called new Ronaldo...Lord have mercy on us for we have sinned.

All these talk has hinged on semi-final bla bla, which I've clearly trashed out by them having an easy route to the semis.

I'm not even ready to start arguing all over again about how their route was easy abeg, it's all on the thread pages which were posted during the competition and a little bit after it.
You no know ball.

Oya let's move on from Shaw and Young.

This excuse holds no weight.
So you mean Ashley Young, a world cup semi fanalist left/wing back is not capable? Man, the position was his having helped us to dominate teams there and helped England there too. His injury meant he was not called and then the hype with the untested new man. hey hey hey grin grin grin

This was same Young who helped Van Gaal to assassinate Liverpool, City, Spurs, etc from that position and he was being called new Ronaldo by some playful United fans. He carried on, although with a little less productivity, until his performance from there last year won him England call up after many years. He didnt just make up the numbers, but played there for England up to semi final of the world cup.

We that watch football were obviously influenced by the media, abi?

You didn't see all my posts about how English media overhypes their players?

Is Ashley Young not English? Why didn't they hype him over Shaw?

Or Young did not play international match? Only Shaw played international match.
Ashely Young his own for England at the left back for England. Injury meant he was left out for that trip. Shaw was a new thing. Everyone wants new thing until......
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 9:57pm On May 12, 2019
My argument about Shaw in the beginning of the season were:

1. Our left side is our most important attacking outlet.

2. Shaw didnt appear to have attacking flair and his forward passing with one foot is weak.

3. Young has been our number one in that position and we remained very dangerous from there right from time of Van Gaal, and continued unto Mourinho. He was set to continue this seaon but injury prevented him. His ability to cut behind the defence line or cut back and pull out to far post for where Fellaini or Lukaku will be waiting was a big bonus. His crossing from the left is better than from the right. Even from his Villa days.

4. I would have taken Blind over Shaw based on their past attacking flair comparison.

This was where the argument began, and some wanted to rate Young with one or two games in that position where he had not played there whole season. This was same Young who was the only defender who pocketed Salah last season.

Yeah, his errors are worse, but somehow he won the Club Player of the Season award ahead of Pogba, Herrera, Matic, Lukaku, your darling Young and co.

He did magic and caused the eyes of every Man United fan to be blind except yours.
Media made him their darling the first international break where he drove one ball forward for England and gave an assist. Since then he is the next Ashley Cole.

I think the error is two or so.
am a neutral on this Luke matter.
but if am left with shaw or young as the last man to defend or cover a space, will still choose shaw 100times over. and I think fatigue affected shaw too, he played the left back position almost 30 times in the premier league, dalot played there twice and I think young played there twice also.
+ shaw has 5 assists and 1 goal this season in the epl. thats a decent return for a left back.
Shaw had four Assists 1 goal. Young has two goals and two assists. Young almost matched Shaw stat for stat in all indices and even far beat him on interception. Shaw is the fourth best player in United based on stats and Young sixth.

But to our guys here, Shaw is world class while Young is shyte. Only Young and Herrera work extra for the team. Both also have the tendency to go forward always as quickly as possible. They dont stop until the final whistle. Yet Young is 33 abi 34.

I dont understand how providing visual proof of Shaw's mistake turn Jamb.

Lol. Young crossed like an idiot in the first leg against Barca and killed a nice attack. The very next week, he did a splendid job in assisting Messi for the 2nd goal.....but he doesn't make mistakes.
Against Liverpool at OT in March, Young was the reason Liverpool had a freekick in our box within 2 minutes after the game started.

You are the one who is blind to Young's uselessness because you have a knack for constantly supporting geriatric, underperforming players. No be today.


And if you are talking about Shaw's mistake in defending the corner against Huddersfield, how was that chance any different from Matic allowing Kimpembe to score against PSG at Old Trafford? Yet u never said anything about that because ur precious Matic can do no wrong.
Shaw's errors are the worst, stop beating around the bush. He looked like a vallage backman when he made those mistakes.

Alas, the useless players aside, it was those first 17 games that really fúcked up our season. FA should just epp us cancel those 17 games. We no want angry angry
I guess Mourinho already played four of the top five teams in those 17 matches. May be he could have turned it around with the next fixtures which required less pressure. However, once English media and fans are on a coach, his own is finished. He loses focus. No one has survived it.

Ok. Show us these Shaw errors na.

Shaw is a LB but we should hold him accountable for mistakes of the CBs.

You say Shaw makes mistakes when he leaves his wing to cover for the CBs but if it's Young, anywhere he is on the pitch, it's from one mistake to the next. Even when he is not on the pitch and just warming up on the side, he is still making mistakes.
If you don't know the errors then forget them. His error ended our top four hope. Young has defended more difficult balls like that.

If central defenders go to attack a corner kick, it is usually Valencia over the years who played the last man. Recently Young or Shaw or Darmian. But only Shaw has been messing up.

Young doest make as much mistakes as you people paint, you see what you want to see. The same reason you did not see Shaw's calamities.

I cannot argue with you too sir.
The numbers from the poverty indices, for example, are without tribal or political affiliation. They are what they are- rising poverty numbers at astronomical levels. 33.1% as Nigeria firmly sits as the poverty capital of the world. Unless someone hates these human beings and hates Nigeria, I do not think it is wrong at least acknowledging these numbers and the frightening consequences.
The yardstick for measuring poverty rate was increased from 1 dollars to 1.90dollars in October 2015.

If one dollars was still used, the poverty rate would be better than what it was in 2014/2015

That's because Young's errors lead directly to goal scoring chances.

You don't get it. The three errors of Luke Shaw that he was the last men, were school boy errors. No other player in the team made one of such errors. But Shaw made three. We are not even talking of those ones he shifts inward and allow acres of yard in the flank so that they would not say he was dribbled.

Young usually hold for the CBS and deal with threats well. But Shaw cost us three times when he had to be the last man in defence. He was even at an advantage from where he lost his man.

Lol he say na school boy errors. So what do we callthe errors Young makes almost every game?

Abeg show us 5(that's even if u find up to 3) of Shaw's errors leading to chances for the opponent. Meanwhile, if we gather to compile all of Young's mistakes and errors, i'm sure we'll have enough clips to start a mini-series
Young doesnt make those silly errors that requires a full back to stand in for a CB. If I also gather Shaws errors, e go full basket. You see what you want to see based on who you hate.

Shaw wey no dey mark e flank dey invite pressure. Na so Azpilicueta dey play full back?

2014/2015..... 19 starts
2015/2016.......17 starts
2016/2017.......27 starts
2017/2018.....13 starts
2018/2019......16 starts

Compared to Matic that has started 35 matches and 28 respectively. And a player like Smalling stays fit.

bro i dont blame herrera at all. He is very passionate and committed to united. Ashley young is 33 will turn 34 dis year, he earns 120k per week, while herrera doesnt earn up to that.
Using this yardstick, Herrera should not earn as much as Smalling, Young and even Jones. Herrera is always injured. We forget because he is not English. He has not given to the club as much as Smalling. Young and Jones who have helped to win titles.

I heard the board offered him 150k/175k but his agent was adamant on 200k. I think the board offered him a fair deal to be honest.

We move.
This is why the comments from people no dey sweet again. People bring in nationality when commenting on the transfer. Samlling, Jones, etc have nothing to do with Herrera's exit. It was a case of its own.

It is an established norm here that anything English is tagged bad. Some have said Herrera is a squad player, then why should a squad player earn 200k?

Congratulations on being “better off”.
Even in Venezuela there are people in Caracas that are better off. It doesn’t mean that 3 million people haven’t fled to Colombia, Brazil and as far as the US because, in part, of the hardship brought by the US colonialist sanctions and the economic mismanagement of Maduro’s socialist government.

Same with Nigeria. There would be the few enriched from the current regime’s statist policies and perhaps connections; it cannot and does not stoop the rising poverty numbers. You sound lettered. It’s fair to say that you know this.
I cannot argue for a long time with you. A lot of people are better off.

It is the perspective from which you want to see the economy based on your tribal or political affiliation. Many of my friends ran of of Nigeria in 2008-2013.

The summer is very long. Every year I get bored with same transfer talk throughout summer.

The season has not even ended, I think I am bored already.

I don't know what will raise my excitement about Manchester United. Currently, Ole's press conference are not good to my ears (again).

However, I think I have the confidence that the management will get things fixed. Let’s not forget that Ferguson is part of them.

Woodward has done everything doable for the club in transfers. He brought Falcao, Di Maria, Ibrahimovic, just that the coaches have been unable to use these players. Only Mourinho can complain he was not supported to the full in his last season.

Like I’ve said and I will always say, we can pretend and deceive ourselves— there’s nothing illegal in doing so.

The reality however, isn’t pretentious. Sliding into the state of the world poverty capital has real implications to the middle class and the proletariats at the least. Being ranked the worst police in Africa has consequences like deaths from SARS. Being in the top 5 countries of the failed states index has real consequences like the deaths from herdsmen and banditry.

We can deceive ourselves if we want. However reality is reality.
I am better off now. So many of my friends.

A friend of mine who is into business and was just coping around 2014, is now a multi millionaire now, yet because of his affiliation with PDP, he wont stop criticizing the govt. One day, I asked him, if the economy is so bad as you claimed, how come you have so much patronage in your business. And now you have brand new cars, whereas in 2015 he had one old small car. He smiled.

And you I hope you are not one of those IPOB supporters?

I felt emotional while watching the Twitter Clip. He's definitely gonna be remembered for his total commitment to the Club and absolute respect for the Batch. Wish him [Herrera] best of Luck.

It's unlikely for any Chinese Club to come for Sanchez either. Except he's released, which is very impossible, Sanchez is going no where. We've got no choice than hoping he comes good, he rediscovers himself and deliver convincingly next Season.

I want him out as the rest of the Fans, but the more I think of it's Possibility the more I realize it is a very slim Chance of him leaving before next Season.
