Gakpo get bullied shocked

LOL...streams from the fountain of your ignorance I guess

Receive your healing from Sabi Sabi syndrome IJN!
I tire o

Van Nistelrooy almost turned him to full time CF because of his strength, height and finishing.

Mikechinos:
who are the natural 9 available? There's no quality no 9 available bro. Gakpo is capable of doing whatever you expect of a number 9
We need players upfront, Sancho, Elanga and Martial aren't serious. Signing a CF and Gakpo makes sense to me.

Lol you don't even watch him. His more physical than all our attackers he's more like a stronger rashford and more clinical and less selfish the guy is really good check his number of assist him might not replicate the same in EPL but he's definitely an improvement in what we have. You have someone like Sancho and elanga and you're rejecting gakpo. United fans sef. Wait till he joins other top team in EPL. Look at caiciedo we could have gotten him for 5m if OLE nah better coach. Look at what he's doing at Brighton now. And will likely end up in Chelsea
Omo,you have watched him.

He's stronger than our wingers. Better finisher. Only Eriksen can compete in crossing.

These guys haven't seen his games, they are just assuming.

Check their games boss. I've watched gakpo games he's really good. He's a team player and can press well too. We need qualities gakpo and rashford can compete for the LW and compete with martial for the striker role. While Sancho should battle Anthony for the RW position.
That's the problem, they haven't seen him play. The same people told us that we don't need Haaland, Martial will cook. Once Gakpo joins Liverpool or Arsenal they will blame Glazers.

A natural 9 and Gakpo will fix our forward line.

You're dribbling around the obvious like this. The only keeper we have is Degea. Henderson is on loan and will probably be sold at the first chance. And Heaton? Lol, I thought we were being serious here.

We don't need an attacker that can play across the forward line. You're only forcing that profile in because you want Gakpo. Because our LW is not good enough? Or our RW is not good enough?

When pressed, we can't pass out of the back, shooting is still the first option for Degea. We obviously need a new Goalkeeper. Let's not talk about other things like claiming crosses and what not.
Dribbling around? The fact is we have 6 GKs and De Gea has improved on his ball playing and distribution. I mentioned Heaton as an experience backup, who can play cup games for us.

If we must sign a GK the fee from DDG and Henderson transfer will sort it. So look for another excuse.

The only 7/10 RW we have is Anthony, Rashford is the only reliable LW and Martial can't stay fit to cement his place as our CF. And you think we don't need a talented youngster that can comfortably play those positions. WTF cheesy cheesy

From your post history it's clear you don't like Gakpo, you don't have to hide under we need other signings

Signing gakpo does not stop us from spending in other area martial is barely available. Rashford is inconsistent and Sancho is Sancho. The only winger we have is Anthony and he's not explosive. Signing gakpo gives room for better competition. He can play CF and inverted LWF or RWF. The boy is clinical and very productive. If we miss him nah so we go regret am when he joins pool or Chelsea
Louder!! Once they form a narrative in their head, they won't let it go.

So you realistically expect us to spend another 200m+ next summer? If we're going to sign 5 new players we should sign to the important positions. Striker, CM, RB, GK, CB.

That's how to build a team. Gakpo comes in then what happens? Rashford goes to the bench while we play Eriksen every single match or Varane gets injured as usual and we have to play Maguire or Dalot gets injured and we have to play Malacia there?
GK position where we have 6 already, lol. In-form De Gea, ball playing Henderson, experienced Heaton and Dubravka and highly rated youngsters Bishop and Vitek.

I am discussing QUALITY and not Quantity, the quality in our central defence ( Varane, Martinez, Lindelof, Maguire and Baily) is far greater than our LW. The only reliable LW in our squad is Rashford.

Our priority should be CF, RB, CM and an attacker who can play across the forward line LW, RW and CF (Gakpo).

“in the past” you said I don’t see that happening anytime soon again
Maybe you don’t know how much United has spent within the last 10yrs to buy players without nothing to show for it.
It’s better we get focus more on getting a quality finisher and then others can come in.
Good CF is what we urgently need now
And signing a good quality CF won't stop u from signing a player that can play anywhere (LW, RW and CF) upfront.

Maybe you should check the top 3 highest spenders in the last 10 years.

ChristoBam:
Yeah really! It's not like I'm listing them as starters, they're options!

And yeah, 30m will effect the targets we can get in vital position. It can be the difference between signing a Dejong and a Rabiot.

Btwn look at how you compared a single position (LW) to the CBs. Also City don't urgently need a Midfielder, Right Back, Striker and Goal keeper. They can stock pile all they want. We'll do that once we've got every important position filled.
We have signed 5+ players in a single transfer window so many times, I don't know why you think we can't do the same next summer.

That was how some people mentioned Cavani, Martial and Greenwood as CF options when we had the chance to sign Haaland.

LostMyZeal:
You're right, but you see all these Sancho, Elanga, Marital and Even Rashford, I swear they're sooo unreliable

I no trust them at all. We better get replacements for them and push them out of the team.

Garnacho is the only beacon of hope
They are looking at numbers, when the main focus should be on quality. I will take Foden over Martial+Sancho+Elanga.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Expert17: 6:11pm On Oct 31, 2022
ChristoBam:
We can't sign another LW cuz we've got other important positions to fill now. We literally need a CM, Striker, RB and GK. You don't sign into a position already occupied by 2 other guys when we need signings in other positions. We literally have Gernacho, Elanga and Martial that can also play from the left. Haba.
ELanga? Martial? Really. Lol

We need 4 signings, so signing a quality forward at @30M will stop us from getting other targets?

Man City had 4 quality CBs (Stones, Ake, Laporte, and Diaz) and they added another cheap quality player in Akanji, the same way they have 5 quality forwards. If Messi becomes available in the summer, Pep will sign him.

I think United should develop Garnacho instead, that boy is talent that would do great if properly nurtured...
Signing Gakpo doesn't affect Garnacho's development the same way signing Grealish, Mahrez, Sterling, Haaland, Alvarez, and Bernando Silva didn't affect Foden.

That was the same way you guys wanted to develop Martial and we missed out on Haaland. There's nothing wrong in having 5 quality forwards. Ferguson signed Van Persie the same year Rooney scored his highest league goals, we had seasons where we could call on 4 different CFs. Too much of goal-scoring quality players is not bad.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Expert17: 8:23am On Oct 31, 2022
DeadPresidents:
His close control is adequate if not fantastic. He also has a world-class cross on him.

He tends to disappear when the opponents cut the supply. He has enough strength to make it in the Premier League and he strikes the ball almost as cleanly as Greenwood.

It's rumored that he's available for 30M in January. For that price, even if we have 50 LWFs, we need to get him. I don't think Elanga is a Premier League footballer so that cuts our LWFs to Rashford and a Sancho with more question marks than 50 Cent's "21 Questions" lyrics page.

That's my 2 cents. He's not world class but can do a job and won't put a huge dent in the budget
Thank you. We were told Sancho will solve our RW for 10 years, he's now a LW grin hopefully he wont move to CM.

Elanga is not a footballer. Dr. Martial can't stay fit for 2 months. Ronaldo will leave by May. Greenwood is not coming back.

For just 25m - 30m, I dont see how this will stop us from getting other signings - CM and CF.

Because Rashford and Martial are better than Ronaldo in ETH's set up no mean say them pass CR7.

Okay....

Again, for the purpose of clarity, who is the better GK overall?

Just type "X" is better than "Y"
Aaron Wan Bissaka is the better RB for Crystal Palace/low blocking team.

Trent Arnold is the better RB for Liverpool/Attacking team.

Henderson is more suited to teams playing out from the back, and I called for Dean to start when DeGea was fvcking up 2018 -2022.

Yes, same way I spammed here with Bruno and Haaland stats.

I wish your analysis will make Sancho perform cheesy cheesy

AdisaOwala:
For the purpose of clarity, what of the Henderson vs De gea debate you always seem to be on about?
Good, Henderson is the better ball playing/sweeper GoalKeeper.

DeGea has good reflexes and a great shot stopper WHILE Henderson is more confident, better at set pieces, high claims, distributions etc

Little expo: 5 GKs were selected ahead of DDG for these reasons.

Then you that watch him regularly tell us what his strong points are. You realise you have not once described what he is good at and what he needs to improve on. You just come here and post ere division stats and want us to swallow it like nkwobi.

I don’t watch him regularly so I can’t say much about him in terms of his quality. From highlights it looks like he has a loose touch and I am not sure about his body balance/strength against EPL defences.
He looks like he thrives in open spaces that might not be available in the EPL. I might be wrong, which is where you come in and tell us more.

If he is not going to definitely bench a rejuvenated Rashford at LWF then we should go for a proper No 9 not a jack of all trades. I have nothing against Gakpo.
I am not after stats, if not I would have stan players like Sancho, Depay, Ziyech and Tadic.

Since you havent watch him, you should either wait for him to join another club (like Haaland) OR you dedicate more time to watch and analyse him yourself.

I remember during Fergie's era, we had seasons where we paraded 4 top strikers, even Man City can point to 5 quality forwards. Just because Rashford is back to top form we cant sign another forward. na wa o

I second you on this. I do want Gakpo, but I also want a natural 9. If we can get both, I'd be happy AF.
Same here, Gakpo and a CF.

As it stands Elanga, Scamcho and Dr. Martial are not reliable and needs to leave asap.

We didn't sign them due to ere division stats. We signed them because they passed the eye test and filled a need. We have multiple LWFs in the team. We need a No 9. If as RVP said, he is not a no 9 then we don't need him.

I am not saying you shouldn't evangelize for him, but using ere division stats is not the way. You that have watched him tell us what the eye test tells you. Mateja Kezman went from > 30 goals per season in ere division to scoring 4 goals for Chelsea.

Don't bobo us with ere division stats. Give us analysis. cheesy
All Sancho analysis from Nairaland Scouts flopped, I based my judgement on MY eye test.

So you think I want him because of stats? lol. why didnt I support Sancho's signing despite his tremendous G/A stats at Dortmund or mention Ziyech, Depay and Tadic who have better stats in Ere divisie.

We have multitle LWs but not quality LWs, and Gakpo can play anywhere in the forward line LW,RW and CF.

These ere division stats won't move anybody o. You better come with eye test analysis and deep dives into his style of play.

Dusan Tadic is averaging over 1 goal contribution per game in 4 seasons in that league.

I am not against the guy but ere division stats no fit impress us without proper analysis. And this one that RVP is saying the guy is not a No 9 wetin be the anfaani of orogbo? We need a No 9 not another LWF "that can play as a 9".
No need for back and forth, I will wait for our usual wailings when he signs for another top club. I can't convince people that called Haaland white Lukaku. My eye test/recommendation so far on this thread hasnt failed me, from Smalling >>> Maguire, Bruno, Erikssen, Short Martinez etc

So because Tadic flopped in EPL, Gakpo must flop, lol. We actually signed Jam Stam, J.S Park and Van Nistelrooy from the same club and Ere division.

Anybody that watched Sancho in Europe and for England NT would have known that he would flop at Man Utd.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Expert17: 6:12am On Oct 31, 2022

His putting in such a great shift, it’s amazing. The only thing now is a backup RB for him so he can get some rest from time to time.

No Bruno means VDB comes in. Let’s see what the boy can do with that opportunity.
Eriksen will play 10, with Casemiro and Fred in the middle. VDB won't start.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Expert17: 7:48pm On Oct 30, 2022
I enjoyed the game, it's not every game we would be comfortable from start to finish.

Maguire had a brilliant 2nd half.

Finally we have attacking FBs in Dalot and Shaw.

De Gea with super saves, especially the header from Zouma. That save is very difficult.

Martinez is the best CB in EPL and by extension among the very best in the World.

Bruno was better in defense than attack today.

Aston Villa next!!!

Not saying you are one of them oo, but, if Mane's departure couldn't be the reason for Liverpool playing badly but the poor individual performances of the players... How can then Ronaldo's coming be the reason we were playing badly last season and not the poor individual performance of the players?

Y'all should have a rethink of this agenda.
