With how crazy the market is right now, I pray our academy boys pull through for us big time
It’s not going to be easy. It’s always a lottery with academy boys. Even sure bankers like Greenwood are never that sure.

A player like Hannibal is playing regular first team football but his team plays the most archaic and diabolically negative football possible. He wouldn’t have learnt anything about attacking football this season.

You also have a boy like McNeill who has lost his way completely in the reserves partly because of indiscipline.

Then you have Amad thriving in the Championship but still not a certainty to succeed in the EPL.

Oga mi, the small hope wey I get, you wn carry am enter sambisa..

Honestly, I'd personally prefer these boys going to Germany or Holland not these championship teams..Seeing Hannibal for the few minutes he got at WC, I thought the club would have cut his loan short because he's obviously not learning anything good at Birgimham..

I watched a couple of Birmingham matches. Each time I got Apollo. It was an eyesore. Utd are happy that he is getting regular minutes but are not considering the quality of the minutes.

Manchester United fans all over Twitter hyping casemiro performance against a 16 place championship side ?

My people una pass this level nah ,this is casemeiro who has won the champions league 5 times as an important player and one of the best CDM in the world for the past 7 years

It seems you guys have been so starved of a world class player or you all didn’t watch casemiro at Madrid ? I don’t get the hype ,you will think casemiro was a random average and fans where expecting him to flop and he now performed against reading grin

You know the easy stylistic comparison for Lacey is Foden. For Ibragimov with his superior pace, size, power and good technique I think Rooney is a good stylistic comparison.

I am not comparing their talent level to Foden or Rooney o. Just style of play. Before enemies of progress start tackling me. grin

What's your point exactly?

If Messi scores a hattrick of goals against Reims today, won't most of us his fans celebrate his performance?

What about the class of 92 then? Barcelona squad of 2010?

What are the conditions for academy players to thrive?

or is it lottery?

Always.

Class of 92 had quality but came into a winning team with a legendary manager and incredible leaders like Cantona, Robson, Hughes, Ince, Irwin, Schmeichel. Compare that to the shyte show that Adnan Januzaj, Rashford, Martial came into.

Apart from Messi who knows how things would have turned out for the Barca squad. Xavi’s genius was being wasted by mediocre managers like Rijkaard until Pep came to save him.

So many factors determine who will be successful and who will not. Look at Morrison that was 3 times the player Lingard was. He became a journeyman in the lower leagues while Lingard became an England international.

Lol.... we had a world class player in Paul Pogba, so weren't starved.

Casemiro deserved to be praised even if he plays against division 6, just like how Mbappe was praised recently, or how we praise Eibarman then.

Casemiro is a Man utd player. We celebrate all wins

Pogba wey una Dey swear for every match day ,or which one ?

Why can’t you call Messi Madrid man ,hope you know Messi have scored more goals against Madrid than eibar ?

Calling Messi eibar man is just like calling Ronaldo Barca man who have only 1 el Classico assist in more than 10 seasons and no single hatrick grin

From Casemiro, you jump enter Pessi/Ronaldo again grin

Also, no be today Man utd fans dey swear for players. Man utd is trophy winning team, that's why the fans are hard on the players... we've had Pogba, Ibrahimovic, DeGea etc, these are world class players, even before we signed Casemiro.

Even if Casemiro scores against Oxford United, we will celebrate it well.

Hope you Don prepare your mind for this games...

Man utd/Barcelona = Man utd to win

Psg/Bayern = Bayern to win as usual.. grin

As per conditions there are so many.

First one is ability of course, but most of them have some level of ability.

Next is health. For instance Matteo Mejia who was probably more highly rated than Garnacho in Spain has been injured pretty much for 3 years. He has had 2 season long injuries and since returning has been quite average. Willy Kambwalla has a similar story.

Then next is discipline. Extreme examples of what can go wrong are Morrison and Greenwood. But even less extreme ones include poor diet and being absent from training (Cassano, Dembele, and now Charlie McNeill).

Then luck with the quality of the team, the manager and player leadership, the opportunities. With regards the manager and opportunities, McTom was probably the 3rd or 4th best midfielder in his set, but he then grew 6 inches or so in just over a year. Luckily for him Mourinho wanted a big, powerful midfielder and gave him his shot. The rest of that squad is playing lower league football apart from Rashford and Tuanzebe.

Stop disgracing yourself as usual. Messi has 20goals in just 11matches against Eibar while he has 26goals in 46matches against Madrid. If you get brain after reading that you will know why your useless fraud is called Eibar Man. Meanwhile Ronaldo has 20goals in 34matches against Barcelona making him the 2nd highest goalscorer against your useless club. Yes , you are Ronaldo bitches.
