Our scouts are good, contrary to what people think.

That's how it was said here that Caicedo won't be able to handle the pressure if we signed him, that was before Brighton looked his way but today he is priced at over £60m...

DDG is bad at passing and commanding his box, that's something we have known right from when he joined the club especially the aspect that has to do with commanding his box.

Our defenders bar Martinez and Shaw are not very good at retaining possession under pressure and it gets worse when you go higher up the pitch.

We need an upgrade on DDG, Dalot/AWB, as cover for Shaw as Malacia does not look ready, a CM who can easily slot in as a DM, or maybe a DM and a CM, we also need a CF. Seeing that we have limited funds, as the coach which position will you prioritize? I think a percentage of those who are wrongly labeled as DDG fans include people who have looked at the team and think we can do with improvements in the outfield positions as a priority first before we look to replace DDG.

I don't think we will do any better if we spend £50m or more (Which will likely represent a chunk of our transfer budget) to sign a replacement for De Gea compared to improving the outfield positions. If Sheikh Jassim's bid is successful then, we can go all out, and bridge all the gaps we have rightly identified in the team.

Talking about transfers out of the club, I don't blame those who are at the forefront of it because as a big team, we pay more weekly wages meaning if a player does not perform, no top team will go after the player leaving us at the mercy of mid-table teams who simply can not match the wages we pay hence will ask that we reduce the transfer fee or keeping the player and paying his wages until his contract expires. Take Sancho for example, even second-rate teams like Spurs won't pay up to £60m for him looking at the wages he is on thus we have to keep and hope he miraculously improves or sell him for cheap.

They are odd scenarios though where we should have done better like the Lingard case.

Ellexy:
Who is Dasisi? These are depressing names on God

After una go say our scouts no sabi. If he joins Madrid or City now and does well, the scouts will be blamed.

Expert17:
2 pk saves from Unai Simon..lmao

DDG can never.

Las las all of una go dey alright. Una dey take some of this arguments here too personal.

Unai Simon is now better than De Gea...

DeadPresidents:
Not a good move for Amad as long as Gasperini is manager. He doesn’t utilize wingers like that

This Naija boy that did so well this season is he not a winger? I will even prefer if Amad develops his game to play as an AM or an inverted forward much like David Silva/Bernado Silva.

obonujoker:
Erik ten Hag is willing to let Amad Diallo go back to Atalanta on a year-long loan, as part of a deal for Rasmus Højlund. [@sbates_people]

Good move if true. He will play at a high level competition over there and will see a lot of game time. No question of adaptation.

CrystalTiger:
How many exclusive news una dn give us like na?..

Glaziers no pity us, una wey be our fellow fans still no fit pity us..Haba...

😂😂😂

Leyqute:
This coach should announce a press conference and start complaining. The Glazers are waiting for his public outburst. They need it before United can sign any players.

Or is it until the window ends and good players finish before he wants us to start make a move?

#ETHOut!

You are still on this issue? Una get unforgiving spirit for here...

adebayo201:
Happy Father's Day to Se.un, Lala.sticlala, dra.gnet, ho.nsule, afrod.oc2, ep.h12, Le.yqute, larr.ide, Patric.kmuf, ram.udeuter, elam.piro, etc



I pray the we'll all witness more of it in sound health and prosperity.

Same to you bro...

Donjazet2:
Of course, nobody would call out this sucker for this provocative statement which obidients definitely find offensive but when obidients actually retort, we start seeing snide comments from agba "neutrals". Hypocrisy!

Rich coming from you that constantly abuse Tinubu and his supporters here...

I am tired abeg. This Glazers, na thunder go fire them.

afrodoc:
Has she finally gone to serve?

Hahaha Doc you are too funny.

CrystalTiger:
WestHam rejected Assnal opening bid of £80m for Rice ... These mid-table clubs dn get mind...

Arsenal should pull out of the deal. They are cheaper and better CMs out there. Rice isn't even worth £60m or at most.

ChristineC:
I expect us to raise some funds from Maguire, McTom, Martial, Donny, Henderson, Elanga, Sancho, Mengi, etc.
as much as 12 players could leave the club permanently this summer. I expect nothing less than £150m here.
however, I think Ten Hag has a good base to work with.
Shrewd moves can work if we apply intellect in the market.

GK - Costa [£50m]
DF - Kim & Timbers [£85m]
MF - Amrabat (free), Mount, Rabiot (free) [£50m]
F - Kane, Højlund, Thuram (free) [£140m]

DF - Timbers can cover for RB and CB, and can replicate what Shaw gave us last season on the right. I think he'd cost about €40m.
Kim can legit displace Varane if his injury become consistent or provide serious competition anyways. he's as good on a one on one as he is capable in sprints. good presence and physicality. the guy has a release clause by July, get him in already. I'd have Alvaro Fernandez do a year on loan in a PL side and can possibly return to take Malacia spot at a year.

Options - Dalot, AWB, Timbers, Kim, Varane, Lindelof, Martinez, Shaw, Malacia. we can agree that this equals Man City backline for quality and depth.

MF - Amrabat can be tireless like Caicedo, he's at the right age and is experienced, for free. we should be all over that.
Mount is here because it seem Ten Hag wants him. going by the penultimate season, I'd have no complaints but he's off a poor season albeit in a poor Chelsea side. for a young British player, you never know where next he's headed - could be for good, could be for the bins. I won't pay more than £47m though.
Rabiot again for free. will be an upgrade on McTominay certainly, as well as good technique and presence. tricky, but we are on a budget. a salary of nothing more than £200k or we walk. I'm surprised we didn't grab Tielemanns on a free though.

Options - Casemiro, Rabiot, Amrabat, Eriksen, Fred, Mount, Fernandes, Iqbal, Mainoo, Hannibal.

F - if Kane has any ambition bigger than some placebo scoring record, he should be putting his foot down for a move to United. this is a tailored jigsaw for Ten Hag but what do I know?
Højlund is an interesting prospect that can do decent game time and contribute straight away. at 20, he's got fierce and fearless characteristics like Garnacho.
Thuram is another young forward that can certainly hold his own upfront. for free, he takes up Martial's squad role for far lower wages and greater durability.
If we can't get Kane, I'd still have both young lads as they can fill in as wing forwards across the front as well.
Options - (Kane), Rashford, Garnacho, Greenwood, Antony, Højlund, Thuram, (Amad), Pellistri.

The truth is that we can't raise $150m from player sales as most clubs will prey on our desperation to sell. It is different when clubs want your players compared to when you are the one hawking them around. The wages too is a big concern so, the buying club will point to it in order to reduce the fee. We won't be selling to top clubs so, the wages issue will be a stumbling block.

For the incomings, is that Timber good?

Also, I'd take Muani over Thuram and one of Rabiot or Amrabat and not both. We also need a mirrored controller that will have Eriksen sit on the bench.

[quote author=TrebleChamp post=123813930]Ten Hag should tear that rubbish list containing Mount and Pickford and prepare a better one, Oyel money is coming 😁.

abeg...

delkuf:
All I want Is that man u should sign hoilund this season, any other player they get am ok

That guy is the truth. Hojlund and Muani and our attack is set.

seankafor:
At least tinubu is giving us something to clinge on

Not that manequin called bubu that was standing akimbo watching like a watered mouse 🐁🐭

Buhari no try at all.

Of all players na Mount Sinai wey pursue...

God epp us o!

monerozi5590:
Politics of bitterness. Gida Gida case is still in court. He might even lose in court. He is trying to destroy some of Ganduje's legacies.

I don't like the way Tinubu is romancing Kwankwaso. Kwankwaso is trying to rub it on Ganduje's face.

I think Ganduje was the first Northern Governor that gave his full support to Tinubu' presidency.

Ganduje did very well in Kano State.

Tinubu needs to step in else they'll be problem in that state in no time.

Ibime:
The roundabout was a provocation, done in Ganguje colours in front of Govt house.

Na Kwankwaso start this colour branding nonsense. E get some things you go allow but you can't be driving past your opps design and colours everyday when you are going home. Maybe he for just repaint am sha

very simple.

TrebleChamp:
Na here we go dey went the dragging start if result goes south, nani has already dropped his anthem 😁. We must enjoy possession footy and win EPL next season, no more excuse of De Gea or bad players....

We have not strengthened the team so, I don't see any reason why you should expect any better next season.

Chelsea has Colwill returning after a very good loan spell. Also, Nkunku will be joining them.

Elsewhere, City are already preparing for the potential exit of Gundogan by moving for Kovacic, and in defense they're weighing their options should in case Laporte leaves with a potential move being discussed for Gvardiol.

Liverpool has signed Mac Allister and they are actively in the market for another midfielder. They have Chamberlain, Keita, and Milner out of their books.

Arsenal are pushing for Rice.

All of these are happening while we watch.

liveLongNprospa:
What about someone who is blinded by their support for something to the point they swallow it all without ever asking questions

What are they called? 😌

Zombies...

No government can be without faults, critics are welcomed. We can find a middle ground between defending every move of the government and criticizing every move of the government. Everything should be done rationally.

Constructive criticism is when you critique a policy or an action pointing at grey areas while proffering solutions.

You do your bit and give the government time to see if they'll make the necessary adjustments but when you keep hammering on fault lines without proffering solutions or seeing anything positive at all then you come across as a pessimist.

That Kano Governor is mad. Instead of destroying buildings built on government land, why not seize the property and put it to good use?

The archaic method of getting at political enemies doesn't sit well with me.

Leyqute:
The window is yet to open and PSG has already signed 5 new players. United will drag leg and wait until the last minute before making any tangible move.

This is why the Glazers have to go. And soon.

PSG no be better example abeg. They will sign 5 average - good players in every other position and then splash the cash for expensive towards.

TrebleChamp:
😁
I just don't want him to be a Yes man manager to our useless owners, it won't favour us the fans. He should show his disappointment to late or non transfer activities and, also question transfer decisions that doesn't favour him team. Decisions like signing Mount and Pickford.

This club don tire me.

TrebleChamp na Ole out member that year.

He wants to know whether ETH has a list or not and if he has, why is he not demanding more from those responsible for signing players?

Doc as a fencist is doing his best to kill the agenda before the demon possess other members here and boom another legion of killers arises requesting the head of innocent Ten Hag.

😂😂😂

Entrepreneurship should be taught in Junior secondary school and from SS1 - 3 it should be made compulsory for every student to select one enterprise and acquire the necessary skills as part of their curriculum just like they are taught Mathematic, Physic, etc. That way after completion of 0-level, they're already skilled and can begin contributing to the economy for those who can not afford University Education or who rather prefer technical skill acquisition.

University Education is not for all does not mean technical education breeds half-baked graduates. I will like to see more Technical Institutes around the country with degrees equivalent to the ones conventional universities offer.

Just one season of Arab money and Newcastle is in the UCL. Dey play

Newcastle never even splash the Arab money yet them dey UCL. It will be interesting to see them after the summer transfers. From all indications, they're not going to go all out for established stars like PSG did. They are building a more balanced team which to me is a better approach.

nitrogen, you should be giving us updates as per the rumors making the rounds. What's happening?

Karnice600:
Don't defend Tinubu. We all know how to read and comprehend. How can a court's ruling become illegal?
Does Tinubu now interpret the law?

You are running away from the truth. Do you support the scenario I highlighted where courts of the same jurisdiction give conflicting judgments for the same case?

OMG!!! I go sleep for Twitter this night.
