I heard Mendy got 83.

If that isn’t racism, I don’t know what else it is. Mendy should be at least 90 for his goalkeeping heroics at the CL last season. He kept 8 clean sheets out of 11 and shut out Pep’s team(CL favorites) in the final.

Everything is not racism sir. an overall rating of 83 is pretty solid for a GK. Also if he continues to play well this season his overall rating will be updated during the season. A good proportion of his cleansheets were as a result of the formation and system implemented by Tuchel.

See finishing. So you mean Capitalcee is a co..ck sucker

Lmao

More like a co...ck guzzler

Greenwood >>>>>>>> Sancho

Sancho is actually looking really good today in comparison to earlier games. I am quite confident he will play better as the season progress.

Alagolo bouta win Ballon D'Jail

Lmao... nice one. Celebrities rarely serve jail them. If found guilty he will pay a fine and get suspended jail time.

....And someone was talking about opening Bruno's file soon...

elrony:
What a god... Now he can't play with mere humans.

Even clowns that couldn't make their high school class team are chatting shiit about a dude that was a pro footballer at 17 in the EPL. Na injuries and being a glass man cause all this rubbish.

elrony:
Why does this man look like he's about to tackle himself?

What this man achieved at 18, 90% of the world can't achieved it. Stop hating on the dude.

Wages, they lies the problem. I think West Ham would have jumped on the chance to sign Lingard if he was on a free however, paying over 25m and paying him his current weekly wage put them off...

We find it difficult to sell players who are surplus to requirement because very few clubs can afford to pay our players the wages they get here on a weekly...

This is not true, there are reports out there that stated that Lingard didn't want to move to Westham. Moyes also gave some clues pertaining this in a particular interview.

It's just a cultural thing at United, we do not like to force players out if they don't want to leave. It's not always about wages. We could make thw club uncomfortable for players by using the press (Barca style), relegating them to U-21 for training or by taking their first team locker (Niasse at Everton).

Selling players is not as difficult as most people think, all you have to do is get agents that will do the legwork for a fee. Since the time of Fergie bar a few cases, the club do not like moving on player on a bad note.

patrickmuf:
You are not sure of this information. We are talking about Martial but you brought in Pogba, how exactly does that point to what you want to have us believe?

I brought up Pogba to describe how the wages of our players are reported. Journalists usually get the details from agents and such figures are usually the max amount that includes performance related bonuses. There are lots of articles that mention this.

When I am less busy I will post links of articles that provide info about player wages.

GloryIsaac:
I also made reference to his wages in my original post.

Regardless, this season is his final chance. Only potential issue is finding a club ready to pay such huge wages.

People need to understand that Martial's 250k wage includes a shit load of performance related bonuses, same applies to Pogba and Rashy. Pogba is reported to be on 290K, according to football leaks his basic wage is but 160K or so. Also clubs that would mostlikely be looking at Martial should be able ot his wages and it's not uncommon for players to take a wage cut.

adisaaowala:
Ronaldo and Cavani aren't exactly youngsters any longer and may have to be managed properly for optimal form and fitness.

I still think Martial has a role to play in the team.

I love Martial, but the earlier we sell him the better it will be for him and the club. He gives the vibe of a guy that will end up in Turkey in 2 or 3 years time.

JLINGZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ


MAN'S GONNA START ON SATURDAY

Siuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Ole has to trust the squad and rotate more often. We should be able to win comfortably with Ronaldo (CF), Sancho (LW), Lingard (AM) and Greenwood (RW) or
Cavani (CF), Rashy (LW), Bruno (AM) and Lingard (RW).

Ole has to rotate them forwards alot this season.

metodman:
I'll never ever forget what Adam did to Fred during that matcj. At a point I was so angry on his behalf because it seemed as if Adama was targeting him intentionally. Fred played as if he was drunk especially the way he was falling all over the place.

Lmao!

You typed this post like you were drunk

Segedinho:
U ain't sensitive enough man.


U want him to just openly throw jibes directly.

If you don't understand, then the onus is on you...

OK sir...

I get your point though, he might be trying to throw jibes at how his failed transfer to Chelsea was handled by using lyrics from Drake's new album that was released yesterday.

Segedinho:
Kounde dey para 4 d club

Lmao... you be ju man, That's from Drake's new album... Certified Lover Boy

United about to rob Leeds

20M + add ons for that useless Dan James. He might actually play well in that marauding Leeds team, more space to run into. I wish him all the best.

Lingard better give himself brain and fuccck off too. He won't have enough game time. To sit for bench no dey tire am ni?

CapitalCee:
So Bruno is disturbing Sancho in his wing, he is hindering Pogba and Fred, he is disturbing Greenwood because he is a small boy. Very soon Bruno will be blamed for standing close to Ole during a match making him to make wrong sub

I just tire o... Rashford played the same position as Sancho with Bruno and Rashy bobo was scoring and assisting well. Sancho better step up his game or e go sit for bench.

CapitalCee:
Lol. This incident was the one that shocked me, handing opponents possession is typical fred so i took it as one of those days. But this time, Wolves cleared the ball from defence under pressure the ball want directly to fred in our own half, he had almost half of the pitch all to himself, he controlled the ball right into the path of Trincao who was very far away. Varane stood surprised he must be wondering how Fred is even a footballer

No be only Varane that touch shock... I was left flabbergasted, my man brought pressure on the team out of nothing, instead of covering and pushing Trincao out to the wing, baba decided to chase and tackle Trincao and ended up chopping grass. Thank God he didn't trip Trincao in the penalty box.

Expert17:
Bruno dey try abeg

But e nor dey help midfield na... e dey go hug opposition CBs

elrony:
Joao and Ruben were doing their job, we had Fred and Pogba too what were they doing?

So Bruno has to help them combat Joao and Ruben....

Abeg make them end this world

Lmao! Them wan turn Bruno to British SAS combatant

eph12:
Are you sure the midfield is being helped? Pogba and Fred's possession yesterday is almost double that of Bruno.

On multiple occasions in that game James, Greenwood (when Cavani came on), Bruno and even Sancho were in the midfield area helping out when we were defending.

Of course Fred and Pogba's possession numbers will be high based on how we like to recycle the ball between the pivot CMs and the two CBs.

CapitalCee:
Hence James which Ole admitted after the match, you are sounding as is Bruno stayed away completely from Midfield, he was there, but at the same time he needs to join the attack

I tire o... In the game against Soton was Bruno not fouled close to the midfiled/defense area in the play that led to the goal we conceded?

This Bruno slander will be tackled ASAP, my man ain't perfect but he won't be made the scape goat for Fred's being under the anointing regularly, misplacing passes, jumping into tackles and getting dribbled with ease or Pogba being nonchalant on the ball and not attempting to chase runners sometimes.

CapitalCee:
So Pogba and Fred cant engage Moutinho and Neves to allow Bruno to attack? Are we Burnley? So how are we supposed to scored if all we do is midfield battle royale, who are Neves and Moutinho? May be if we meet Bayern in UCL Cavani, Rashford and Sancho and even CR7 will join to rescue Pogba and Fred because you will be coming up against Goreztker and Kimich. My brother leave matter lol

Lmao!

Them wan turn ball to royal rumble.

eph12:
If Bruno is a forward then we need another person in that midfield so Bruno can play his forward. It's that simple

Another person in the midfield during which phase of play? Because when we don't have the ball 2 out of the 3 forwards behind the CF are usually helping the 2 CMs in the pivot.

It's not Bruno's fault that when we are not playing McFred out midfield us usually found wanting during transition from attack to defense.

adisaaowala:
Baba, the truth is that this is a conversation most peeps here arent ready for.

If we remove his goals/assist from setplay and carefully assess his contribution to our overall play ehn....

Make i just stop here sha

Please do!

This Bruno slander is outrageous. My man is bursting his body playing his heart out for the team and you guys are trying to push some flimsy agenda against him.

Please take away his Pks and assists from setplays and let's see if anyone apart from maybe Rashford will come close to him in that team. People fail to notice that in our system Bruno is practically a forward and is regularly involved with our forward press.

Also, have we not been complaining about playing two CMs in the pivot that are not vital in our attack play? Why do we need Bruno to help "combat" other midfielders especially when we play against other teams that utilizes 2 CMs like us.

Lastly the age of having an AM that link the midfield and attack is fast eroding, most teams build up play with their full backs/wing backs, wingers and deep lying playmaker.

eph12:
The Coach doesn't want to keep the ball. Maybe he doesn't trust VDB physicality, I'm not sure what the problem is. VDB should be able to play Kroos role. Stay close to the DM or CDM and occasionally find some great passes. Pogba should not be the one doing this

VdB to play Kroos role? How many times have you seen VdB turn with the ball or ping long range passes? My man is always acting like a wall and treating the ball like lava.

odizeey:
Was Ronaldo the reason Sancho played left today?

Okay... I get your point. I was discussing more a future perspective.
