Buying Baleba would v been our greatest mistake.
Hope we won’t be saying the same thing about Anderson a year from now.

I’m always cautious about paying hefty sums for players who haven’t replicated the same level of performance for years.

I am hoping he proves me wrong. It is me that will suffer as a fan if we sign players that are not up to standard.

There are some basic principles of midfield play. Good 1st touch, ability to receive the ball on the half turn.

If you see a midfielder whose clips are mainly of him running though the opposition and his touch appears a bit loose the chances are that he will struggle in the EPL.
Sometimes sef, the player will be quite decent at those qualities but the added pressure of United and the EPL will affect their confidence and turn them into clueless zombies.

In addition to recruiting technically gifted midfielders, Vivel and co also need to assess targets’ mental strength. New additions easily crumble at United if they’re not tough. You could even argue that this should be the first quality to scout for.

Yeah I would be happy with Anderson and Mateus Fernandes.

I hope Ederson succeeds here but I would have been happier with a more technically sound player.
Re: Midfielders with bad first touches and limited passing range. What if it is this Ederson that proves you wrong? 😀

Another thing.Mainoo is not a good passer of ball.We need a deep play maker who can do that.Martinez is trying tough
Mainoo is a good passer in tight spaces. Remember his assist to Cunha for that screamer away at Arsenal?

He only struggles with mid to long range passes due to maybe confidence or technicality. He’s got rhe vision cos he sometimes sees the free player but he just often chooses to make the easier safer pass.

I wonder why the loan deal wasnt structured similar to Hojlund's. Like tying it to a CL/laliga triumph, X number of starts/goals/assists etc.

Maybe the plan was to ride a wave of stellar performances during Rashford’s loan spell, inflate his market value, and then cash out at a higher fee.

Now the whole thing has backfired and we are still stuck with a 300k+ per week want-away ninja, despite his 25GA contributions

If he didnt publicly twerk for Barca, I for say make we keep am - he would be a decent option at LWF and CF positions
Nah. It’s done between United and Rashford. Coming back wouldn’t be a great idea. The player doesn’t want to come back and the crowd at Old Trafford (and even some online fans) haven’t forgiven his lackadaisical approach and the manner in which he burned bridges.

Did you remember the recent IG post where he thanked everyone (including this Barca that doesn’t rate him) for making it to the World Cup but completely ignored United who gave him the platform right from when he was a kid to be where he is today?

Nah. It’s done.

The only hope is that he shines in the World Cup and attract other suitors willing to pay 30m for him. Barca has until June 15 to activate the 30m option.

We are clearly at fault here.

From all indications, it appears we didnt insert an obligatory buy-option clause into the loan deal.

Ninja contributed massively to Barca's la liga triumph yet they have the audacity to dilly-dally over his outright purchase.

Perhaps we were too desperate to keep him away from Amorim that hated him so much and here we are stuck with the fella.

The way the club is run atimes sef...Smh
Really hate doing business with Barca. They’re a terrible club. And we often allow ourselves to play into their hands. The De Jong saga is still clear in my mind.

CrystalTiger:
Seeing the Gordon news is just baffling..Fee in excess of €70m ooo but they don't have €30m for Rashford..

I do hope this is the last time ManUtd does business with Barcelona..
I’d blame Rashford more.

Yes, he has delivered decent numbers for Barca in terms of goals and assists, but he gives room for people to question his commitment due to the lackadaisical way he plays sometimes.

Even worse, he’s on a huge salary. Plus he has cut ties with Man Utd and his suitors are very few.

In essence, Rashford left himself at the mercy of Barcelona. And Barcelona, as a broke club with rich vibes, will always exploit any situation to their own benefit, even to the detriment of the player.

Rashford for 30m is a steal but their goal is to get him on a cheap- another loan of, say 5m, next season. Man Utd should never accept that. If any other club offers 20m, we should make him understand that that’s his only option and quickly offload him.

God punish Barca. angry

Brighton played themselves. They actually wanted 100m for Baleba. They would be lucky to get half of that now.

West Ham are a relegated side. They bought him for 40m pounds and he still has 4 years on his contract so somewhere between 45m and 55m is still reasonable
There’s a sell on clause from Soton as well. 15% of profit on future sale.

I'm also hearing west ham have put an 80M tag on Fernandes.

Portugal does not produce great strikers like that. In their whole history it is CR7, Eusebio, and maybe Pauleta........and that's it.
And even the CR7 was first a winger like them Figo

I understand it, it doesn't change the fact that those misses were dumb and should've been converted to assist if those players weren't shooting like amateurs.
Ryan Cherki, who has the second highest assists this season, also outperformed his expected assists. So did Bowen from West Ham, who was third with 10 assists. In fact, Bowen is not even in the top 10 of xA list.

You’re arguing with an unrepentant Bruno hater. Don’t waste your time on people like that.

Maguire may not be world class, but he was always one of England's best players. Even in his darkest United days, he was still top for his country. Tuchel could have considered that.Now he's taking an injury hit stones along.
Maguire is a liability if you want to play a high defense line. He lacks pace and he can’t read the game quickly and effectively in midfield. If you put him in that system he’s going to be caught out over and over again.

It’s not that big a surprise Tuchel omitted him.

Maguire deserves to go. He has never failed England.
That’s because Southgate played to his strengths. And it’s even debatable sef. Magwaya is quite average in many regards. Unfortunately, when the team performs well, his limitations are overlooked.

If not for politics and nepotism, JP should’ve been called up instead of Neymar straightaway. He’s younger, stronger, and plays in a better league.
