Ofcourse VdB is capable of playing in a pivot, but do you want a pivot player that cannot control the tempo of the game?

You don't need to call Ole gollum, it's distasteful. The bottling tag is also unfair, he lost 4 semifinals to City (2), Chelsea and Sevilla. The Sevilla loss and the UCL group stage failure was more of our players not taking advantage of multiple chances and some silly errors. Don't get me wrong, Ole is no Pep or even Conte but show the man some respect.
To be fair he's not been given enough chance to prove himself anywhere so we really cannot criticize or be skeptical about his ability in that role.

James has played on the right as well. You shouldn't drop a youth team player into the senior team and play him in a position he struggled in even in the youth team.
Salient point there

Good evening sir.. How am i shiiting on Ole gollum?

Is he not a serial bottler ?Villareal are being overlooked by a lot of people, because it's united they're playing against. People forget, that Ole Gollum is a serial bottler

VDB's more than capable of playing in a pivot but just need to find the right partner. He's always neat and tidy on the ball and would allow us to keep possession better and our ability to play through midfield. Just need to find that DM..

He does not play well on the right at all. Apart from the goal which he scored when ran centrally he has done nothing. Why not play him on the left and play James on the right? At least James has played both left and right at senior level. This thing is not WAEC.
He started in the middle.
Somehow he's ended up right. undecided
James actually seems to be playing a lot better from the left.

I desperately want this man to fit into this team. It would be sad to have someone with that level of technique and not get the best out of ihm.
He looks technically good.
He just needs to be more assured with himself.
I believe there should be a spot on that team for him to contribute meaningfully.

Hopefully the technical unit will use him to better effect next season

Van De Beek is better than Fred & Mctominay combined. Offers so much more in that midfield.

He has the cleanest tech, not fancy but clean.. Crazy awareness of space too.

He needs to play in a pivot against Villarreal but i trust ole gollum the serial bottler.
Agreed.

I think he's battling with confidence.
His forward passing takes pressure off the defence.

Something those two clowns can never offer if they lived 3 extra lifetimes.

Dont mind him. Werner now is competing with Allison for who is the better striker
Lol.

Allison has a better shot conversion rate.

Werner is not better than Victor Agali,Chukwu Ndukwe or Peter Ijeh.


WernerMighty is leading the league in being caught offside. Soon they will change that law to the Werner rule and say you were caught Werner.

As much as I hate Liverpool, make we sef talk true. Allisson>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Werner.

We OleOuters and OlePhobes, rising from our weekly sitting have declared a ceasefire with our resident Olesexuals and have agreed to suspend all criticism of the Norweigian Emmanuel Amuneke; till the outcome of the Yoruba League final is decided.

We have also decided that this thread will burn if he bottles that final game come Wednesday with specific targets in mind ,while also reminding him that winning the cup doesn't make him immune from further severe criticism for bottling a promising 2021 season.


We wish him and the squad all the best,while still reiterating that he is a clueless dullard who is grossly incompeyent unfit to sit at the helm of our bench.

Most definitely. It took me a while before i could watch Greenwood cos even though the commentators (and people on Reddit and Redcafe) kept talking about him he was always injured. At a point he seemed like a unicorn until he was finally fit enough to play and he didn't disappoint.

Laird was even more elusive. He would come in, play well and maybe get an assist and then he is off again injured for 5 games. Luckily he has played almost 30 games in all this season.
Wow.

Honestly the only info I get from the academy is from people like you who actually devote time to it.

I vividly remember you telling us about Greenwoid some years ago.

Will have to look out for Laird as well.

So long he's a free agent, most top euro team can pay his wage.

Let's assume he wants 700k/week that's 36m a year.

How much is Rice asking price? 95m I guess.
I actually don't think most teams can pay him his wages.
If not there wouldn't have been.any need to declare that super League.

Cash flow in soccer is severely limited these days.
Clubs are declaring loses everywhere.

I'm not sure anybody can pay Messi Noth of 500k a week in this environment

Laird's problem is fitness, if not he would have been in the senior squad by now. Only Greenwood was more highly rated in the academy that time but he just kept getting injured. There is still hope though because Greenwood himself was almost a doctor like Phil Jones in the academy.
Omo, I've never seen anybody who has the inside scoop on the academy/junior teams like you.

You dey subscribe to MUTV?

If he ever changes his mind, we'll offer him 650k/week or more.

I'm ready to forgive him for his sins. He should come and collect pension.
We have Cavani already collecting pension here.

Let City carry him.abeg.

He is getting old too.

Where will he get those outrageous numbers(wages) he has at Barca?..I think people are underestimating the effect covid has on football's finances..

Even Raiola no too dey foam for mouth against us for now..His tone is changing..Everybody dey manage themselves right now..Pogba has to pray we sell DDG to see if he'll get that rumoured substantial increase..
I'm not going to argue against your points, but I don't think many other clubs can afford his wages as well.
Most likely I think he will come to a compromise with Barca.

I hear he wants a new deal given that Bartomeu has been forced out.
Which was the point all along of his disquiet..
