Still enough time to tempt Watford for Sarr tho.

KingAlabi:
Alex telles I stan

What happened to Luke Shaw?

Leyqute:
Dude. I think Pellistri has good close control. He’s just still young. We will know more once we see him play though. Same for the Traoré guy.

Also, I don’t think Martial should be leading the line again. He’s not serious enough for a striker. Greenwood always attempts to score whenever he has a half chance. Martial would rather dribble or do a 1-2 with Rashford.

Ole should be playing Greenwood as CF in some games this season. He’s building his physique, he’s a better finisher and is also more serious about scoring goals. I wouldn’t want them to turn him into a RWF or SS or whatev. That boy’s star should be allowed to shine.

That Forlan boy dey dribble sha , and he has acceleration too

Still a lil bit rough, but that's understandable, I hope we can loan him to the first team occasionally.

I agree with everything you ve said concerning Greenwood

TrebleChamp:
Because he plays for Dortmund, put Rashford, Martial or even Greenwood in that Dortmund team..

Whatever suits your narrative bro... No qualms.

afrodoc2:
I wonder why you just developed beef for the innocent boy just like that. He didn't slap the price tag on himself AND he was not the one that slammed the door shot on United.

Nezzjnr na typical Nigerian lover boy, no blame am

afrodoc2:
Hehehe. You were one of those tackling me that time?

See, in football once you enter your 20s what you can do is IMPROVE on what you already have and also be more consistent at it. You can't suddenly ACQUIRE a new skill.

In particular at that age it is almost impossible to suddenly develop a great touch or great dribbling. It is easier to improve shooting, crossing, tackling, positioning e.t.c BUT touch and dribbling is developed before 18.

I don use my L eat porridge oats this morning... To even think I believe he'd show improvements dey bite me sef

timay:
Of course shit like this always backfires. It usually takes one stupid decision by greedy business man to loose money because he wants to make supernormal profit.

Remember Nabil Fekil at Lyon? Na so those ones to dey carry shoulder. At the end of the day the guy ended up at Betis for peanuts fee

Oasis007:


Wetin elrony no dey see for Nairaland. So Number represents position on the Pitch...... LMAO!

E Be Things

afrodoc2:
I don't think Ole is the right person for the job but to think Woodward or Matt Judge have any sense when it comes to football matters is very laughable.

Throughout these chaotic years 3 managers have come and gone, dozens of players have come and gone, Woodward and his college roommate Judge are the only ones to remain. Connect the dots.

You know what they say about when the head is bad.

I'll give up finally if we sign another manager and in 2 years we are back to the same calamity again...

timay:
Good luck selling him for 120million next year

I hope it backfires

Oasis007:


80 + 40 = 120 - Bruh....... In Milla!

Because say you buy Ferrari no mean say you go dey drive am everyday when it actually needs servicing. These guys are off form for now, bench them and play others

96forever:
We bought a 75yr old Cavani and gave him the no.7 shirt, never knew he can play the RW.


Good luck with finishing in the top 6.

Behave!

timay:
I don't buy the , "they don't want to sell at the moment" excuse. They are a selling club, and they are always ready to sell. it's just that it is their sick way of negotiating and milking out as much money as they can out of the buying club.

They don't want to sell for now, most likely, that's why the idiots refused to negotiate a possible 100m deal in this economic meltdown that clubs are cutting valuations on some of their players.

Even Barca wanted to do Dembele giveaway for United

Oasis007:


They ain't signed to come and play Ludo nah...... LMAO!

BTW..... If PE Teacher gets sense, this is time to switch Formation to 3 - 5 - 2. 3CBs should be AWB, Bailly and Maguire with Williams and Telles as WBs.

Trio of Pogba, VDB and Bruno in the Midfield and combo of Cavani and Rashford upfront.

You still dey put this current Magrubber for line up, bros why? AWB doesn't have the awareness to play CB tho.

I'd rather have Lindelof Bailly and Shaw or Mengi sef.

Pogba should join Magrubber on the bench, he doesn't look fit to me.

timay:
@bolded. Saying that they can't afford him is not a fact. Because they did submitted a 90million plus add ons to 100million bid. If they can't afford him, they won't submit a bid for such amount of money.

If they were submitting a bid of 70million for a 120 million player like the way Arsenal usually bid for a player, then I'll agree

May be they couldn't bring themselves to spending 120m on a player that is not so different from the young guys we present have in the team. Reason why they decided to divest in the last minute and buy those two youngsters as a long term option.

The club simply couldn't afford him because he was damn too expensive. It's not about having money or not, it's about not meeting the price tag of a commodity.

Oasis007:


Wetin dem do you nah

Na stupid club...

timay:
Barca's problem I
hasore to do with squad number rather than money though.

If they don't release some of their players, the can't bring in another, because it seems la Liga has a rule for the number of players they must have in the squad

Yup, they must sell before signing

KingAlabi:
Sancho added advantage in my opinion is his creativity, in other areas rashford beats him slightly.

What were you gonna buy him for before, the creativity ffs.

timay:
That is very far from the truth. There's nothing superior about Sancho wing play bro. The only edgehe has over our wingers, and why people wanted him was because he can play RW without his output dropping. Aside that, Rashford and Martial will eat him raw as a LW

Okay bro

Nezzjnr:
That reminds me

Why was Dortmund avoiding add ons as part of the deal

Is it that they don't rate him or what?

Dortmund barely do add ons on their priced assets because they don't want to sell at the moment. Check Dembele deal na.

Before you start getting ideas, they already said he was not for sale and slammed that 108m plus that stupid deadline on Sancho's deal.

These niggas are hoping to cash out if you force their hands.

I still hope thunder faya that club.

CapitalCee:
Does Ole have the foresight to play Williams there?

Well, hopefully he has taken viagra with the many L wey him don chop

Oasis007:


He's no Messiah. He's a promising Lad thus I don't expect much from him, in fact I rate Amad over him for now. Fans are crying out loud for a RW, they have 2 that can last for Decades at the Club.

They ain't English (good News), hence likely to attract low Media Attentions.

We never get RW until these ones develop small, you're already heaping responsibilities on them

timay:
Exactly the point Rooney was making in the news the other time.

As a LW player , he's definitely not better than Martial or Rashford. The only player he's better than is James.

Any coach that succeeds OGS will first demand for a true striker, because Martial as a CF is still a little bit limited.

Sancho has a far superior wing play than all our front men.
Ain't even up for a debate.

KingAlabi:
That is one thing amongst United fans, they will be expecting world class performance from pellistri.

Them don dey tension Greenwood already.

Oasis007:


Dortmund way of doing Business...... LMFAO!

Always works, that's why they can afford to put a price and not flinch.

I hope they relegate tho

Oasis007:
Right footed, but very much comfortable on the right Wing.

I just hope fans don't heap expectations on these kids when push comes to shove.

timay:
You mean, a club that decides to pay 30million for an unknown 18 yr old with barely an hour of senior football cannot pay 120m fo Sancho if it decides to?

The fact that they decided to buy two RW players that could potentially solve our RW problem in the nearest future shows that the decision was more than just about money. Sancho is right footed player who will eventually still drift back to LW. Why not kukuma but two young left footed player who will see the RW as their natural position.

The reason I'm not surprised is that the club has said it that they are also planning for the future. So I'm not surprised with the way the transfer went.

In two years time, the club will have two natural RW, (not make shift , cos I still see Sancho as a make shift RW)

Fact is United couldn't afford Sancho. Having the money is another thing entirely.

Good decision to invest for the future by the way, when they come good it'll be a massive win. (They can slam 200mil on their heads)

Nezzjnr:
They can but he's not worth it

They can't because they can't afford spend that much on a single player.

What determines a players worth tho?

pharod:
Facundo Pellistri is a red

Up Youth team!!

We don't care about the first team anymore

Leyqute:
Guys

Facundo Pellistri vs Anthony Martial

Who has a better close control of the ball in tight areas?

Make I go YouTube, but I doubt anybody comes close to Tony in the first team.

Odunharry:
U go use plate drink water. Our fellow supporters go get you new one.

We just hoping the team improve and put a smile on our faces. Me too tire fr their yeye play

Àmen

olabode89:
His gait is weird, he goes to sleep alot and that him tackle go put us for wahala las las. Players like AWB are usually one of them drawbacks of using analytics when scouting players. He fails the eye test with shinning shining colors.

Not bad to have when we wanna keep it tight at the back,but he ain't suitable for an attacking team abeg.

I don give up for Spidey matter
