Rashford has improved so many aspects of his game, Pogba played very well, he kept it simple throughout and Martial is a threat, after his introduction, our attacking impetus doubled...
Great game for warm-up though, unto the next.

ToyinDipo:
At this point, a winger should be number one target.

I think not, we're clearly lacking a quality LB and a good DM cause Carrick isn't going to be playing week in week out.

Omobarca:
Quality is Quality, preseason or not

So, Mr. Quality, you believe AC Milan has more quality than Bayern, right?

raumdeuter:
Neymar scores

Against the killer EPL defence

On one hand, you say people shouldn't read any meaning to preseason games on the other hand you're doing the opposite, can you just pick up a position and stand by it?

chidexxy007:
Ashley Young is drinking water for doing what exactly?

Lol for juggling

We need a quality left back, Blind has been poor thus far, his crossing is below average and Valencia was his usual self there, indecisive...
Pogba has been class tho

bigkesh:
I trust you to give them left, right and Center.
Attend to any nonsense they drop,they will only insult you because they know they can't match your intellect.
Please keep schooling them

Personally, I am your fan......I like your football ideologies on Barca and United matters
.

Please don't leave this thread, give it to them!!

This is a dig of some sort, he likes your football ideologies only on Barca and United cos away from chatting bullish.t here, you bore just about everyone..

Lindelof needs our collective support, dude is very good but he's probably feeling the pressure of playing for a massive team like ours, he'll come good...
Jones looks like the one I'll keep if it came down to choosing between him and Smalling but you never know with Jones, does well now and when the season proper starts, he finds a way to injure himself.

You guys need to calm down on the Martial agenda, he was one of the few players taking the game to Madrid but because it's the in thing to batch him, some of you just have to jump on the bandwagon...
Martial was better than Rashford today but you lots won't mention...

CapitalCee:
Last season he spent 125m mourinho spent 145m. This season he has spent 134m already while mourinho has spent 106m. But no saint Conte doesn't have any "wealth" to spend

Sometimes we go out of our way to jostle for likes. The talk tire me ah swear.

For us just preseason oh! That super cup match will be crazy...

Tvegas:
Lol, i hope PSG can make the deal happen. I want to see how the almighty Messi will thrive around average players.

Messi will still be Messi, he will still do his thing...

Eruditor:
Douglas Luiz is back on loan so he does not count.

But mark it especially when Mendy signs. Manchester City will be crowned champs. Chelsea, 2nd. The rest can sort out themselves.

Mendy is just about done, your is bookmarked for future reference...

Chelsea fans trying to play the victim card, what exactly do you mean by imagine if he had the wealth that Mou and Pep has? Excuses we use to hear from Arsenal fans

chidexxy007:
Walker I can agree bhett Danilo? ffvcking Danilo?... Dude should just thank God for the nationality he claims cos if ha had come from this side, im market for no sell Bros...

Danilo is a quality backup, I was actually on about Walker and Mendy

chidexxy007:
Walker nw Danilo? (even though I no rate the guy)... wetin pep wan cari all these fullbacks do. Thought he never plays cross and nod abi d league don nod in small sense into his bald skull
Pep surely wants to prove a point contrary to what some people here would have us believe.

Having flying fullbacks allows the wingers to tuck into the midfield to great effect, the City player I feel for is Sterling cos he might find game time hard to come by or might settle for a wing back slot... On paper, the City team is looking really good but that's on paper tho.

Without Kompany in the mix, that defense will still come off unorganized...He is the key if City must do well, having said that, their newly acquired fullbacks are pretty good...

funlord:
Kola wetin? Abeg he has joined roma sef and he is terrible defensively! Young is trying to get to stoke, smalling is now a bench option and the club is even trying to shift him...Jones is searching for a new clinic to sign with.....the full back/defender hybrid I think we should go for is marquinho...anywhere in defence is where he can play and he is always fit and will gel with his fellow Latin American bros Valencia while Brazilians always bring some gbedu in their boots! Sessegnon for me as an option in LB (young, talented, scores goals, dribbles passes, does not send anybody even though he is 17 and would gladly sit on the bench for shaw and co..while stylishly benching them)

Na woodward dey dull us now....some key men have missed pre season training opportunities with us!

Of course I know Kolarov is off to Roma, I just used him as an example because someone around his age can still do a good job while being contented with a place on the bench if and when Shaw is fit.
I didn't opt for a younger player because Shaw might just come good and to be honest, I'd be a shame to have a fit Sessegnon or Shaw dusting the bench match day after match day...

funlord:
Martial can go on a season long loan in search of his groove back or he can stay and hustle but Verrati will add more to our side than martial anyday!

With Martial out, we will be short of a potential game changer from the bench cos with Rashford and Mkhitaryan flanking Lukaku, it leaves us short of attacking options on the bench bar Mata and Lingard who I don't really rate. They can have Lingard and Darmian plus 65m pounds.
Meanwhile, I read Pogba wants Mou to go after Aurier, good player but it seems we've got that position covered with Valencia and Mensah.
I want us to go after a seasoned LB someone like Kolarov who can still get the job done and won't mind a place on the bench when Shaw is fit. Two of Smalling, Jones, Young or Darmian should be shown the door.

funlord:
psg want martial but may be willing to let veratti bounce for £60m.....

We can get Veratti for 80m pounds, not comfortable with the idea of including martial in any player plus cash deal.

funlord:
Probably Still crying in pain and embarrassment into his mama's rash filled laps I guess? While also staring at my moniker daily with his real cowardly account right here in hopelessness!

Hehehe funny you.

Man City's chances of doing anything spectacular rest on the fitness of Kompany, he brings so much organization to their defense, however, their signings and mooted signings especially for their fullback position has been top notch...

But but where is that Mentions of a guy? Funlord, any idea?

Let me call my niqqa Hush to come and confirm that Gucci...

12b dollars on a warship and you question North Korea for her nuclear weapon program? America, the joke is on you.

sod09:
Very Nice comment
But ur pple started it, I don't even follow this thread until they turned our thread to a refuse dump

Trolling isn't really bad but when folks do it foolishly, it becomes annoying, almost everyone enjoys Airmark's activity on Bayern thread, I dare say even the few Bayern fans there do, we also see Nihilist do his thing at Barcelona's and it's fun, couple of years ago, it was Dopejemi on Chelsea thread and his 'long may woes continue' line but now all we get is pages upon pages filled with uninteresting arguments and failed attempts at trolling...

Double post...

Seriously, I think some of us need to stop trying too hard to troll, it's not fun when you go to Chelsea thread and see United fans talking down on Morata and here, you have Chelsea fans talking down on our signing of Lukaku, it's cool to troll once in awhile when a subject that's troll wordy props up but for guys to be on about it every day is just sickening, let's read other interesting stuff abeg...
To each his own, we love Lukaku and Chelsea fans have embraced Morata just as Arsenal fans are cool with Lacazette...

SIRcumalot:
That is why I like that 4-2-3-1
We can accommodate for everybody:micki behind ukaku, flanked by Martial and rashidi.
Is there any weakness in this attack?I don't think so.
Rashidi dey track back sef.

If so, then we need not invest in our midfield position cos with Carrick, Fellaini and Pereira, I think we have enough manpower to get the job done add Blind and our youngsters coming through... I still crave for a new LB

SIRcumalot:
I see wetin you dey talk.
Pogba as an AM dey interesting,
I never see am there before.
with Matic coming,it allows us play pogba where he best affects the game.
mehn,I don't want Martial and Rashidi fighting for the same spot, am sure we can get away with playing both of them at the same time.
Valencia takes care of our width problem till Shaw returns( am still a believer).

If Martial and Rashford must start, then we have to make do without Mkhitaryan and Mata, it isn't easy to be Mourinho now.

bykebyke:
LOL.

Una get money pass PSG?

Neymar's father is getting 100m if the deal pulls through.

Neymar himself is getting 40m if he comes...not salary o..just thank you for coming.

He is going to be Qatar's posterboy for the 2022 world cup.

This deal fit cost PSG one billion.(His salary there and other hidden bonuses)


Una fit afford 1billion?

Wetin deh pain me be say na just 222m we deh get from that 1billion...and we can't ask for a player from them because they are paying the full release clause.

LOL.

Hehehe see as you dey call 1b pounds like say na change, even for the level of PSG's madness, I don't see this kind of mega bucks bandied around...

SIRcumalot:
be like Matic go take Herrera job if the formation na 4-2-3-1 but the two fit play together in a 4-3-3.
4-3-3 go be our main formation next season. read sometime ago that we renewed Herrera contract and they Pay am reach 200k,that no be bench money.

Herrera place is guaranteed in a 4-2-3-1 alongside Matic, I think Pogba will be pushed to AM with Rashford/Martial on the left and Mkhitaryan or Mata on the right, with this we can easily swap to 4-3-3 or use a diamond formation depending on the match proceedings...We desperately need an extra body in midfield even more than a Winger (Perisic)...I'd prioritize a specialist LB over a Winger worse case scenario.
