Running the rule on falcao now looks a bit harsh and premature BUT he still has a lot more to do if he must earn his 44m fees, there's not even a single doubt about that.
He hasn't done close to enough. And I won't be putting my money on him living up to expectation at the end of the day tbh.
I still hope and pray he does though. |

elampiro: Does Martinez want to take Everton to relegation?
Nemesis is catching up with them at Everton (coach and players) for their disrespect of Moyes with bad comments at this time last season. They felt Moyes was their problem for a decade 'cos they were in top 4 under Martinez.
Ukwu! lol. Azzin ehn. Especially those useless everton fans with short memory When I was telling guys to calm down on the martinez hype and see if he could sustain the initial gra gra, they didn't listen. He has not even faced half of what moyes faced and he don dey see oba  |

I don't like the dimension this little argument is taking. Dadehmola: Marco reus hasn't rejected us in the past. Bale shunned our advances in July last year. Wether you like it or not, it's the bitter truth. OK then. Both are players who can function in the hole and can also do a job coming infield from the wings.
Ps; are you telling me reus is like bale?  when did I say this? Who brought reus into the issue in d first place  Mata too can 'do a job' while coming infield from the wings. Why not just stick him there and play 433 Same with Rooney and a host of others. Then why did you use the barca example? Barca bought Suarez for 70m, only to settle for cheap mediocres like mathieu and vermalen as defenders 
Pietro Rico.. Players like Suarez should be bought when available. What has Suarez added to that barca side as we speak?  so who were the expensive non mediocres that suares prevented them from buying? Have u already adjudged shares to be a failure at Barcelona? He doesn't need a 160m on the wings before his philosophy can be implemented. So he should get isco to be our winger. Lol. And the isco would come for peanuts. Great When you sacrificed, I want to believe you mean "benched".
So you are actually suggesting that we pay 40m for falcao, (300k/week) only to start sacrificing him?
Or that captain rooney ( who has to play every game, according to the coach) should be benched?
*in elampiro's voice* ukwu!!!!! no. I meant completely cut off. every time I've listed those players Rooney has always been the last. That should mean something to anyone that cab reason.[/quote] ke e I said earlier, We can as well trigger messi's release clause, afterall, I can't imagine anybody preferring bale to messi under whatever circumstances. again u are seriously derailing from the line of argument.. I'll draw u back. -it's a rumour that doesn't even sound true -we're assuming it were true he indeed is interested in coming The messi analogy just doesn't cut it Because he is neither available nor interested. If he were then I wouldn't say no to him coming either. We don't need 100m gareth bale, period!! yea. young and Valencia would do just fine. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by PietroRico(m): 9:26pm On Dec 22, 2014 |
Dadehmola: Reus hasn't turned man united down before. All these hypothesis no be am. don't even get me started on the reus issue. Isco can function as an inverted winger. The Reus you talked about isn't even the crossy-crossy winger anyways -both like to come infield and dictate proceedings. isco is no wide man! Him and reus are not alike in any way. Reus or Isco should do, then.. again isco no winger. Its like calling carzola a winger. Reus, no chance!! So you want us to spend millions on fowards but ignore pressing issues at the back and even midfield like barca have done? ffs! Bale is not coming in place of any defender or midfielder ffs! The way you are talking, I am sure you too woulda sanctioned the fabregas sale so as to create room for a worldclass foward like Suarez. Pray tell ; what effect is that having on barca as we speak?  again, nobody is saying we should ignore the defence! There's enough money to go round! Your answer lies in the question above. 
And they sold who at what price?
As you can see, I am more interested in having a balanced team while you are more concerned with flaunting of wealth and ostentatious purchases. That's the difference  and it surprises me that u can't see the balance that bale would bring. Why do u think lvg is running from deploying wingers with all his might? Or u think 352/diamond midfield is his philosophy? I repeat for the 2333rd time, any other central attacking player be it rvp, mata, falcao or even rooney sacrificed for bale for the sake of balance would be worth it. The present man utd side doesn't need a 100m winger. we need a quality wide. Man and bale is perfect. End of story. The 300bn he'll cost shouldn't be our problem. Gareth bale is one of the best players in the world. I just feel we don't need him at the moment. What does that gotta do with wenger and British talents? you would prefer to have valencia/young on the wings? |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by PietroRico(m): 9:13pm On Dec 22, 2014 |
Danhumprey: What if the Marco Reus deal go through(Reus to Real Madrid)? Will Bale get playing time? He will be shunted down the pecking order for one of the wing position. reus would compete with james for a spot or james gets to bench benzema and plays as a false 9 |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by PietroRico(m): 8:37pm On Dec 22, 2014 |
Even if we are to strengthen the wing, why can't we get reus instead? Or even Isco? Why has the cuadrado rumour faded? Don't we have scouts who can get us a relatively unknown but good player at a reasonable price? lol. And u think reus who had turned us down in favour of barca before he was betrayed by suares' signing, wouldn't do the same to us when madrid come calling? Isco is not even a wide man? is cuadrado any better than zaha Abi na so 'rough diamonds' full everywhere nai madrid and even barcelona(inspite of the famous la masia ) dey spend millions year inn year out to stay at the top? Did Barcelona really need suares? Did madrid need rodriguez? You have the chance to add bale to a team that has young and valencia as 1st team wingers and you dey complain. I repeat, any central attacking player sacrificed for bale, be it rvp, falcao, mata or even rooney would be totally worth it!!! Forget those things jor. If u have the financial clout, flaunt it! Afterall we're not buying an ahmed musa for 50million. Even if we can afford to do so, what's my business with it? I know u have something against british 'talents' that'll xplain ur turning to arsene wenger overnight over the bale issue. |

Dadehmola: I reiterate; Both have to be considered. We are looking to slash our wage bill so as to accommodate the right players in positions where we just to to fill. Why on earth should we think of adding another potential 250k/week(if we are to offer him a 4 year contract, that's a whopping 48m in wages) luxurious signing that can be done without at the moment?
Even if he's better than a Lionel messi-Ronaldo clone, we can do without him...atleast for now. Like I said earlier, there are more pressing issues to concern ourselves with.
Within the past 12months, we have spent nothing less than 200m on transfers, yet the team is very unbalanced- a fact the coach attests to. Even if they are milking the club,It isn't as if they haven't been providing us with money. We should concern ourselves with the pressing issues that need to be addressed. Jumping at the chance to sign every messi, aguero and Ronaldo available so as to curtail the glaziers from "wasting"our money isn't the way forward. -we are not as strong as we ought to be in the wide areas -his purchase won't exactly stop us from shoring the defence and midfield up -the club has paid accountants to the accounting jobs, I don't see why you are soooo concerned abt the mooney being spent. Bale coming won't send us into instant bankruptcy, if that's what you are so scared of  |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by PietroRico(m): 12:40pm On Dec 22, 2014 |
chrisley024: Nah. It would rather make the team more imbalanced; more persons in attack.
Let's talk with what we've now; which is 352. So unless Bale is going to play as a wingback Let's get the defenders and the Strootman first. we only have too much central attackers. We are lacking in the wide areas. So if our defensive targets are currently unavailable, we should pass up on the chance to strengthen the team further ? And then wait till our 'targets' become available before we can think of bale. Cuz he'll be folding his hands waiting for us to finish and then come for him? |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by PietroRico(m): 11:55am On Dec 22, 2014 |
chrisley024: And we still have Young, Valencia, Nani and Januzaj. C'mon, unless we release 3 of these players. young and Valencia are now understudies to Rafa and shaw as far as I:m concerned. They are squad players at best. Januzaj is a loan move away from the required maturity and having nani as back up to both isn't a bad idea. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by PietroRico(m): 11:49am On Dec 22, 2014 |
chrisley024: Cos we've more pressing issues in the defence. Bale won't make our unbalanced team(like LvG will always say) balanced.
Weak defence reduces the effectiveness of the attack since they would do more defensive jobs than they'd normally do. it would actually increase balance. Did maria is the only winger in the squad who is worthy of starting for a team that's serious about winning trophies. It'll make the 433/4321 more feasable and it certainly won't stop strootman and a few defenders from going out/coming in Any central attacking player sacrificed would be worth it |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by PietroRico(m): 11:42am On Dec 22, 2014 |
Dadehmola: Which players? Virtually all The guys that are certain to leave are in the final year of their contracts, which means they will leave for free. How much are we looking to make from the sale of nani, Chicharito and maybe Evans ?
Both have to be considered before buying any player..
without looking to make any tangible income from player sales? Even almighty Madrid no go spend like that.
True, but why offload players just because we want to accommodate a somewhat "luxurious signing" when there is good money to be spent on urgently needed players who won't collect peanuts per week?
Even if he is available, we shouldn't be bothered. We've got bigger fish to fry Abeg. the wage issue is not a problem. The only thing u can make a case for is the transfer fee. That again isn't a problem giving the player in question bis bale and not Andy Johnson. U should be more concerned abt how much of cool dough is being milked from the club by the bloody glazers. Not how much we're 'wasting' buying world class players. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by PietroRico(m): 10:43am On Dec 22, 2014 |
Dadehmola: 90-100m(minus the potentially outrageous wages he would be offered for atleast 4years) won't affect the budget, especially when good money has to be spent to address certain pressing issues? Perhaps if we are looking to sell Rooney for 50m sha  not Rooney. But we'll sell players definitely. Transfer budgets and wage budgets are 2 different things. Our budget will accommodate 2 ronaldos Wage budgets aren't hard to free anyways. We still have some dead weight collecting wages for doing precisely nothing Then again the bale gist is wishful thinking He isn't going anywhere |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by PietroRico(m): 10:23am On Dec 22, 2014 |
Dadehmola: If we have 120m to spend, should bale (who won't cost less than 90m) be our major target, considering the loopholes that have to be plugged in defence and midfield? when players like bale become available, nobody spends from budgets. The whatever million pounds that he'll cost won't affect the normal budget. |

Shirley07: Those are not his strength. His strength are his technical skill e.g ball control, first touch, dribbling. His vision is also sound. But when it comes to awareness of space, good decision making and consistent passing, he falls short. He's basically a box to box CM. Don't know why you lot are on the defensive, a box to box midfielder is not a bad thing. . Théres no way I'm agreeing with you on those. When comes to threading a through pass accurately when a striker has started his run, only perhaps mata comes close. There is NOTHING wrong with his decision making and only God knows what exactly u mean by 'awareness of space'  |
