I don't think we should have given ETH full power, this de jong deal says it all.. the club knows the weaknesses in the team, they should have bought players to address those weaknesses, instead of pursuing FDJ all window.. ETH takes 100% blame here, because he's d only reason man united are still hoping this deal happen.. he's d reason we overpaid for martinez.. I don't like coaches as scouts.. it don't usually end well.. identify targets and work with the coach to see if he wants them, or if they suit is style.. currently d only player ETH knows are ex players or people he has seen i eridivise..

Now we need a RB at least 2 midfielders at least 2 attackers(RW and striker).

Defense was d least of our worries.. we could have solved that next summer.. our Defense was always put under pressure because of our midfield, yet we didn't solve that issue..

Make we dey see...

Good morning

Expert17:
You don't expect Nairaland IT guys to receive the same pay as Twitter tech guys.

Does this apply to only Manchester United or other top clubs too?

kozmicity:
I said this yesterday... Everyone focuses on his defensive abilities and forget the offensive. Man's not a DM, and can never be one. Let him play as a CM and y'all will see.

Lol

Leyqute:
This was what led to the second goal we conceded yesterday. Fred passed to him, we were dispossessed, and they scored from that opportunity.

Main man indeed.

I thought yesterday ended 1-0?

I can feel the energy, but the movement and intelligence is just there. Same with the first team that played yesterday

engrelvis:
is DStv showing it?

I don't think so

elrony:
Couldn't even do the usual subs, omo if you remove those youth teamers, we no get squad at all, trouble looms

Those youth teamers should still be learning at this point sef. Make pressure no swallow them

MRTA7:
Atleti have played their usual game and beaten us. Made it scrappy and scored a good winner.

They made a lot of changes to keep the team fresh. ETH couldn’t afford to do that.

ETH can’t even make enough changes because the team is so light. Normally Fred should have been off this game by now

Illimitable:
Maguire missed that header from 6 yards!

£80m asset.

This club is doomed!

Anybody can miss

Ronaldo will walk back into this team with ease. No way I want to see Elanga in any starting lineup

Malacia has been solid today. But I’m not sure we should be expecting crosses from him

MRTA7:
Is it just me or is the system exposing the lack of quality of the players? Positioning seems good but our passing quality has been poor. And some decision-making too.

That’s why we’re clamoring for better players.

Just look at Elanga smh

LostMyZeal:
Exactly.. Fred has been the only consistent MF so far

Bruno's obviously been struggling with this new set up

Sancho gets injured and we’re struggling to create chances. Truth be told, we can do better than Bruno as the AM of the team

McTom has an issue with situational awareness.

Its annoying

Antell95:
where are u watching

Man united app

eph12:
Fred was closed down by 3 players, where was Tom to receive the ball from the defense? Na wa o

I don't expect to still see stuff like this. Everyone should come back to present an option for the ball

Fred was closed down by 3 players, where was Tom to receive the ball from the defense? Na wa o

LostMyZeal:
Our squad is really thin and it fvckin scares

We don't even have a reliable starting XI yet cos me no trust these guys at all

Indeed we need at least 10 signings just as Rangnick suggested


Omo... at this point ehnn.. . Top 6 sef na war

Exactly what I have been looking at. Normally Fred shouldn't even be the key player in that CM. But as it stands, injury to him and the CM position is in trouble. Attack is also very thin. Only the CB position has enough personnel

ovoP:
in an interview with sky when he was talking about fdj and saying that they are not many type of those midfielders in the world and all that

Okay the closest players to FDJ are the youngsters we currently have?

Was it before or after he said he needed to strengthen the club even more?

Mikechinos:
I know. But the manager said FDJ or he will develop one of the youth players. You can't sign alternatives when the manager didn't sanction the transfer. The board faults is not getting a competent DOF but this transfer window they have basically backed the manager.

Where did the manager say this?

We can't afford to make little or no progress this new season. I think enough has been said about this honestly

Mikechinos:
We've have basically done the needful. Theres no way we'll pay 100m for Antony and we all know the issue with FDJ. This is not the board faults it's what the manager wants. You can't force players on him. If he have alternatives we would have gotten them. We've done basically everything possible to get FDJ with all the embarrassment we've encountered. The board is not to be blamed. Rather blame the manager that is hellbent on FDJ or nothing

You know why I would blame the board? If there's a structure, then they should know that its dangerous not to identify alternatives. You should not expect to get all your A targets and if there was a functional DOF, they should have had that discussion with the manager

BlaqFaze:
nothing

Olodo

Mikechinos:
The plan was always a CB a DM RW and LB maybe throw in a RB if AWB will you sign a Striker when Ronaldo is definitely gonna start week in week out

Source?

While waiting for the source, how many of these has been completed? Season is starting next week.

BlaqFaze:
No boss

What did they budget for?

BlaqFaze:
The signing of ETH screams seriousness.... Ronaldo is just selfish and he is disrupting United plans for next season.

United didn't budget for a striker, now the only recognised striker in the team is an inconsistent Martial. This will prompt United into making an expensive panic buy.

Did United budget for a midfielder?

ovoP:
my point is if we're buying 7 players, we're not going to get 7 quality players out there..

No that's not your point. You've continuously made it clear that it's about the 37 years old player

ovoP:
I was trying to explain its a gradual process, and we should not be bullied into buying 7 players at once because of a 37 year old..

I'm still wondering why you think this club should not be bullied into buying 7 players at once, when its for the club benefit. Or just maybe your real problem is the 37 years old person, and not the buying of players

ovoP:
mention 7 quality players this window that we could have gotten.. the new coach obviously believes in a lot of these old players, he's not been forced to use them..

I don't think this is what I reacted to. You said buying these players is to appease Ronaldo and not for the club. You didn't question if there are 7 quality players we could have gotten. You instead implied that going after those quality players will be because of Ronaldo, and not that the club is in serious need of those players


The new coach believes in a lot of these old players? What about the report we heard the other day that claims otherwise?

ovoP:
show me a club that signs 8 players I 1 window.. where are ypu going to get 8 quality players in 1 window, for you to bring in 8 players, you have to sell many players.. You can't do this just to appease a 37 year old.. rebuilding takes time.. in 2 to 4 Windows, the squad will look different..

Hmm so its not for the club but to appease Ronaldo

Android17:
Even Neymar is still being owed by Barcelona. Messi tried to sue the club too about his own money. The truth about Barca is in-between what we hear and what Laporta is laying claims to.

So FDJ is never going to leave then? Because Barca are not going to pay him
