......kinda sceptical with the deal as well. Osimhen over Delap and Gyokeres for me.
If we’re getting Delap, we need to get an additional striker, preferably a veteran. Two blind men cannot be leading each other. Delap and Hojlund are like Taye and Kehinde. There isnt much difference between the two of them.

I am talking about the eye test and not the stats. Delap is stronger and holds up the play better. His touch looks better as well. He is also half the price of Rasmus.

Even if he flops it will be a 35m mistake not a 75m one. Ideally, we need a more established no 9 but i am not sure the obvious options will come to us now with no UCL football.
How are you sure Hojlund doesn’t have those attributes too before he came to Man Utd?

How are you sure Delap’a hold up play and other skills won’t disappear too when he dons the red shirt?

My point is that Delap isn’t that much different from Hojlund before he came. Why will his case be different?

Delap is better than Hojlund and half the price. Ideally though, we should get someone better than Delap in addition to Delap and then offload Hojlund.
The two of them are very similar. Delap looks more or less like Hojlund just before we bought him— unproven but decent potential.

The difference is the price. Hojlund’s was a rip off while 30m for Delap doesn’t look that bad. Hindsight will always be 20/20

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Leyqute(m): 9:12am On May 27, 2025
I’m concerned this Delap deal won’t be a repeat of the Hojlund mistake. Manchester United is not Ipswich or Hull City.

Ex Sporting coach Amorim goes to Man Utd
Ex Man U coach Ten Hag signed by Leverkusen
Ex Leverkusen coach Alonso to Madrid

Na make Ancelotti go Sporting na him remain for the cycle to complete.

Unfortunately that won’t happen.

That guy kept stressing the mercenaries point as if most of them were not old and almost washed.

Ronaldo, Cavani, Ighalo, Casemiro, Ibrahimovic, Matic, Sanchez. They were all approaching a dip and most had just a couple of years left in them. Lukaku is one of the few ”mercenaries” we bought at his prime, if not the only one. And he delivered for the most part.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Leyqute(m): 11:37pm On May 25, 2025
This is what I was talking about.

We have to recruit for Man United, not for Ruben Amorim.

LMAO but are their coaches good enough? That's my worry. If only Wolves coach can be humble enough to link with his Portuguese brother
Only if he had changed the formation to 4-3-3 or 4-4-2…

So after all the miracles and wonders the Wolves manager has been performing, he still finished behind useless Amorim? Damn. Didn't he try 4-3-3 or 4-4-2?
😀

He wasn’t flexible enough.

Some people no get shame

And how does this change the fact that he succeeded in a way we feel is impossible here at OT?
ETH also qualified Man United for top 4 AND won Carabao cup in his first season. Was he seen as a success at United?

Conte was hired mid season at Spurs and managed to turn their fortunes around - he qualified them for the CL via a 4th place PL finish!

Shebi if Amorim even managed to finish in 8th or even 9th position, e for better!

When i check the league table and i see clubs like Wolves, West Ham, Fulham, Crystal Palace etc comfortably lounging above us, it gives me the hibbie jibbies
And the next season Conte was sacked.

Give Amorim enough rope. Let him start afresh with a new season. If he’s bad, he’ll hang himself.

Conte brought in 8 new players? Easy with the lies on Conte o. He doesn't need new players to fix a team please
Funny thing is Napoli won the league at least once in the last 2 years. cheesy

It’s not as if Napoli was finishing 5th and 8th before he took over o. They were already close to the top.

You dey even go far. Conte don win league with Juve back to back to back, he has won the same Seria A with Inter before going to Napoli.

Imagine comparing a serial league winner in Italy to a new manager in a new league.

Conte is an established Seria A league winners.

There's no basis for comparison except that they both use 3-4-3.

The formation can never be the problem.
The funny thing is we’ve signed numerous league winning coaches and they’ve all failed. 😀

8 players tan tan. Na just 3 players remain for stating eleven to complete. grin
You are minding him. Conte wey dey always demand new signings with alacrity everywhere he go. United will sign 3 players in a window and call it quits. And guess what, we’ll overspend on those 3 players sef.

You are making my point for me...

Our rejects are being used to win league by a tactically astute manager while we are chasing the same player this same manager allowed to leave..all in a bid to improve on our current 16th place.



Conte don drop that update even before he went back to Italy

He took over at Spurs mid season, turned their fortunes around and qualified them for the CL that same season with the same formation and a certain Reguilón as LWB.


Another manager took over at another club, plunged them into 16th position and now needs 5 pre seasons, 6 TWs + a blank cheque to take the club out of the abyss!
How did his tenure end at Tottenham? After honeymoon period ended, how did the team fare?

Didn't Oshimen win domestic double where he is being their highest goal scorer?

Lukaku and Ghostimonay both combined for 26 goals.

Oshimen alone scored 26.

You don forget to update us say na the same 3-4-3 Conte use win league? grin
🤣🤣🤣

The same 4-3-3 that is useless

Na Liverpool win league, they are about to sign Wirtz Leverkusen best player and Bournemouth Herkez.

While we are trying to buy Delap from Ipswich.

No wahala now.
LOL. I remember I used to raise this point in the past. Pep won the league and immediately bought Grealish for 100m.

At this point, we can’t afford to penny pinch because the clubs we are competing with are beating us on every metric. But instead of splashing unnecessarily, we need to be more pragmatic as we don’t have any position locked down.

We can’t be spending big money on any player with the hope that they tie down their positions because the club is still finding its bearings.

And to think 2 of our rejects are featuring predominantly on a list that totals about 150m Euros

Na iron condemmed/ rejects from other leagues + cheap players from Monza, Torino, Brighton etc Conte dey turn to superstars...take dey win league.

On the other hand, another club is being asked to break the bank and buy the same Osihmen before its manager can improve on the current 16th position he plunged them into!

Leyqute, you have just proven once again that there are levels to this coaching shít!
100% agree. But you know there are several moving variables.

The same Conte that won the league in Italy with Napoli and Chelsea in England was sacked by Tottenham without winning a spoon.

Like you said, there are levels to this stuff.

I agree with you, even though i have always seen him as a poor man's Bellingham that slightly improved just before he left Man utd.

In all of these, I think Conte also deserves some massive accolades.

Winning the Serie A with McTominay as the best player in Italy is a testament to him not needing a 400m open heart surgery at John Hopkins Hospital to avoid 16th position
You don’t need a hefty budget to win the league in Italy. Conte brought in 8 new players last season for a total of 180 million.

The "Committed" Ragnick wanted to combine the consultancy role at Man utd with the Austrian Job and rightly had to leave. Besides, nothing on his CV suggests that he would have become the "messiah" you are trying to portray him as...

The point here still remains - if we are blaming players/recruitment as the issue plaguing the club for years, it means we should have even stuck with the useless Moyes and probably other coaches that followed while trying to address the problem.

You cant be saying it's a player/recruitment thing and still found cursing previous managers who "suffered" under the same recruitment palava that you are attempting to use as an excuse for Amorim's woeful performance at the club
Rangnick discovered he was being pushed to the fringes at United. So when an offer came his way, he snapped it up.

......una dey try sha. They won't listen and understand, no matter the explanations. They are one-way traffic - sack Amorim, hire a new Manager and the Club will start winning trophies left and right. LOL!
For some, it’s much simpler. Switch the formation from 3-4-3 to 4-2-3-1 and boom, United wins the league!
