🚨🚨🌕| #mufc are in discussions with Eintracht Frankfurt over Randal Kolo Muani. Murtough has held talks with the Bundesliga side about the 24-year-old, and the indications are he could cost as much as €80million. [@lauriewhitwell]

Who is this guy?

freezyprinzy:
He is a bastard. But I don’t blame him,if you are paying me 200k every week to seat on the bench I sure will take that money. He knows he won’t have game time as much next season especially if are lucky to sign a proper goal keeper, and the stupid club is still offering him 200k per week. God go punish them glazers once again.

But he will make much more money if he leaves

kozmicity:
The way things are going, I very well might teleport to Brentford

Let the Glazers sell abeg, let me know my fate.

It's just so annoying. People need to actually protest and stop watching live matches

kozmicity:
This guy

He saves excellently from range. He is 6’4 but gets down really quickly. He reads the flight of the ball well but also judges the bounce fantastically

Often pushes the ball into wider areas to avoid any onrushing attackers getting a rebound. Good asset pic.twitter.com/85AqHJI0zB

And he won't cost more than 20m if we can even notice him. Do make sure to go through the whole thread.

How I wish this club moves very quickly. Everything is a drag

Leyqute:
We'll need to build the squad around him for him to score loads of goals. Don't really like players like that.

It's okay to have them but they're not a priority.

Exactly my thought. He's not the kind of transfer that should excite anybody. Maybe he is a nice to have because while he may offer something from the bench, he won't be able to hold down a first team position

Leyqute:
I'm telling you.

Preseason starts in 5 weeks and we haven't had significant progress in landing important transfers.

DDG and Eriksen shouldn't be a starter next season. What are we doing to replace them? Na so so rumor until season start and we'll be running helter-skelter.

The Glazers need to go ASAP. The evil they've done is enough.

Very frustrating something

Leyqute:
The guy is a Spanish Dybala. Scoring is his primary goal. Other things like creating chances are secondary.

Hence my question if he scores enough. If not he will need to be unlocked

Leyqute:
We need to fix the spine of the team first before we optimize the winger and full back positions. That's the koko. The options we have in those areas (wing) aren't that bad, plus a CM or AM can still be managed and used on the wings.

But if we don't have a good spine (GK, CB, CM, CF) and quality squad options there, success will be limited.


Abi you no see how much we've suffered last season because we don't have any CF and quality deputies in midfield?

If we were a serious club, we would have closed at least 2 deals or very close to doing that by now

Leyqute:
AM and inverted right winger, I suppose. He can help with retaining possession too.

Maybe I haven't watched Asensio enough. He doesn't look like someone that creates enough. And if you don't create enough, you better be scoring plenty

Leyqute:
My expectations for next season is a very good run in the league and champions league. Challenge for the EPL and quarter final at least for UCL.

Then maybe the FA cup. I'm not too keen on Carabao.

We need to strengthen the spine of the team to do this- GK, CB, DM, CM, AM, CF. 4 new players at least. With a robust squad, we can challenge for honors.

With the way things are going, unless Amad comes back and owns a wing, we will need a winger too. But I'm not holding my breadth for an excellent transfer window with the way things are going. The best we can hope for is 3 players that will walk into the first 11.

Leyqute:
He has been snapped up by another club already. PSG, I think.

What's Asensio position?

Leyqute:
In today’s possession based football, every group is important. If the defense and midfield cannot evade opponent’s press, the attack won’t get the ball to score. Sometimes, you may even need an attacker to drop deep and receive a lofted pass from the goalkeeper- especially when the opponent’s pressing game is top notch.

Everyone is important in today’s game.

Hopefully ETH can get new players in. We must finish much closer to the top next season with a good run in the carling cup and FA cup

patrickmuf:
If you blame DDG only for our performance this season then you are a hater. Also, if you have refused to see how badly DDG affects our build-up play then you are only being disingenuous with the truth.

Both camps are right in their take so, I do not see why there is a fuse here.

Yesterday, DDG kept surrendering possession to City by constantly hoofing balls even when we do not have a target man. Then the outfield players played like there was nothing at stake. Rashford and Sancho will not contest for aerial balls (especially Rashford). The players made 5-yard passes seem like a tall order. I wonder what we do in training.

As I will always say, if we have deep pockets then let's fix the attack, midfield and GK department ASAP. I wouldn't mind a new RB 8f the club does not trust Dalot because I am tired of watching AWB stink up the joint whenever he finds himself in an attacking position.

Let's hope for a successful summer window ahead of next season.

Garnacho should never sit on the bench for that British baby called Scamcho.

This is a good summary.

Those who will never talk about how Bruno is stinking up everywhere will be quick to mention DDG. That's witchcraft in everyone's book.

MorataFC:
De Gea don suffer

That one shot was a penalty. It would have been zero after 80+ minutes

This is the way our attackers has been reacting to duels but DDG is the easy scapegoat.

This is very obvious in our games but DDG...

Just look at the way City players fight to win balls that are 50-50 or even less for them.

Leyqute:
True this. But it’ll be way way easier if the GK is good with the ball at his feet too. Varane, Martinez, Shaw can easily evade the opponent’s press with a modern GK than with an old fashioned one.

How important is the attack and midfield to a possession based football?

ChristoBam:
This team's not as far away from playing possession footy as you think.
A keeper like Allison and a MF like Dejong and you'll see a different team.

I really want to believe this. But when I see the way Rashford, Antony, and even Sancho play, I'm not so sure.

CapitalCee:
Are you me? Who told you I wouldn't swap DDG for Kepa? DDG is a liability, and cannot play from the back. How many times have you seen Kepa commit obvious errors like DDG

lol

ChristoBam:
You're wrong. To play possession based football, we need a different Goal keeper. It's not even difficult.

To play possession football, we will need more than a different goal keeper

CapitalCee:
Yes. Kepa is better than him. At Luis Enrique believes so. I dont know any GK in EPL who concedes more useless goals as DDG

You're lying and you know it. Don't hide behind any Luis Enrique. You won't exchange DDG for Kepa.

CapitalCee:
Yes its pure hate, we agree. Let him go. May be its hate that makes Enrique to stop inviting him instead he invites unknown names for the NT. Even Kepa of Chelsea is preferred

Will you agree to swap DDG for Kepa?

Expert17:
So why do we use GK? If players should win all their duels...

Lol, just chop your LLL and rest abeg

You see your problem here is that you think you're in some sort of competition. You're not, try rest

CapitalCee:
It was his fault. Usual lack of concentration a competent GK will keep that out, City and Gundogan couldn't believe their luck. The ball did not go too side ways he just failed to react.

Ok lets say we forgive him for the first mistake, the game was at 1-1 and City are not particularly outplaying us. Booom your man killed the team morale by let in another against an almlst perfect team lime City

LMAO your players lost the first and second ball, but its the keeper's fault. At this point its just pure hate

CapitalCee:
Yes in a Final we can do that. Chelsea score City in the final UCL and locked up. Its not a crime to lock up in a final against a team like city. How many ti.es have you seen City concede more than 1 goal in a match. So because we have your darling DDG in pose, our strikers have to score buck loads of goals to win a match

Is the keeper the only one responsible for locking up shop?

FirstbornWds:
Like... Ehn...


Eph, the difference between your team and this City team is so much as day and night.

We didn't see that today

Expert17:
You don't understand things easily.

With Courtious, this game would have ended 1-0.

Its not that simple. You can't just add and remove. The world does not work that way

CapitalCee:
You are defending him, Nothing like a woeful performance, the game was understandably cagey.

City is not an easy team to score against. Our outfield players score 1 goal. DDG failed in his duty just admit it and stop looking for an alibi for him. If DDG had not be criminal City outfield players would have not scored any goal today.

Was the first goal DDG fault?

CapitalCee:
Your excuse is watery. Players dont win every ball 100%, thats why their is a player that uses his hand to save the ball. . Man Games have been won by the odd 1 goal. Courtious was imperious in the UCL final last year and madrid score just 1 goal to win the match. If let let in easy goals like your man DDG Madrid would have lost like 4-1 and you will blame Benzema and co for not scoring 5 goals to win the match.

So if we get this Courtious now, we will automatically play better?

Or maybe we will just manage to score a penalty and lock up shop. Nice one

CapitalCee:
If he had made an Easy save. The match will end 1-0. We dont need to score 3 goals to win a final. Wigan defeated City 1-0. In 2013. If their GK let in 2 cheap goals they would have lost.

Keep defending the Id.iot DDG then later you will expect the team to progress

What kind of if is this na?

When do you see me defending DDG? Just because I say you can't put the woeful performance of some other players on DDG means I'm defending DDG?

ChristineC:
the attack is bad enough but the second goal we conceded today was demoralising.
a miscued volley from that distance. DDG will be disappointed with that, there's no need defending the error.

Yes he will be. No defending that.

Do you think he's the only one responsible for that goal? Why were others avoiding the ball? About the first goal, we lost the first and second ball very close to our box before the shot. How do you excuse that?

CapitalCee:
Our Attack? Yes our attack is a let down but City's great attack could only score 2 GK-error-driven goals today. Our greatest let down this season is clearly demonstrated in the Image below

LOL oh yes I forgot about DDG. Even when the attackers get the ball, DDG somehow manages to make them play rubbish

We're actually not that far off from City. Our major let down this season has been our attack. Nobody can paint this any other way.
