I think he’s primarily a midfielder but has also played on the wings on occasions. Can you prove that he’s a right back?

I can't prove he's a rb. I've just seen him play that position more at RBL than midfield.

I don't understand why United rejected that bid, Russo has refused to sign a new contract and will be free next summer. Unless United can manage to convince her to sign before summer, she is a very important player to the team but losing her for free will be very foolish...

:DWe are top of the table.

You expect the club to sell one of their best players to people you are in a title race with? Make it make sense bro.

In comparison, Its just like Man city sending a world record bid to buy Saka this January window, even though saka has like A year left on his contract and there is no breakthrough on the new contract talks yet, also both Arsenal and Man city are currently in a title race.

Im sure Arsenal fans will clap for their management if they accept that hypothetical Saka bid, because its a world record fee grin cheesy grin grin

Yea, thats the same scenario.

Its not a pogba scenario, like someone below you opined, because nobody will bid for her if she was pogba esque in terms of situation.

I like Russo and still wondering why she has rejected a contract extension, i just think losing her for free to possibly same Assnal doesn't make sense...

That half a million is nothing in the grand scheme of things. If we sell her we can’t win the league. With her we have a chance.

If she goes during the season at least we have an entire off season to get a replacement. And who knows we might be champions then, and she might actually stay.

But it's a world record fee for a female player na 😉, we need her to win the League this season truly. I hope she extend her contract with United....

The team needs the title more than it needs the record fee. We won’t get a better chance to win it again.

So you want them to strengthen a direct rival By the way United still confident they can agree a deal with Russo.

And man utd is also gunning for the league too, given one of our best players to our direct rival is suicidal, to me Chelsea is the only team capable of stopping us, giving russo to arsenal automatically increase their chances

Sabitzer’s best position is Casemiro’s position, it seems.

Make I go watch Sabitzer clips...One thing is certain, he is going to help us defend better through the middle.

He should slot in effortlessly beside Casemiro...

No. Most of his games have been either as an 8 or as the most advanced of 3 midfielders. With his skill set he is a natural 8 than can do a job at 10 and an emergency job at 6.

He operates mostly from that right side of the midfield in almost all of the clips of him I’ve seen.

Casemiro’s job is more defensive and destructive. I don’t think it will matter to Casemiro whether he is on the right or left side of the pair.

Also Sabitzer is actually decent with his left foot. Finally, Fred will likely be Casemiro’s partner for the immediate future. Sabitzer is there to add depth and to compete for a place. It’s a new league, new team, new system. He is not guaranteed to bench Fred.

Saw him more on the RHS. Passes, interceptions, tackles, etc, most are from the right side of midfield.

I know Casemiro’s job is more defensive. But you hardly see him on the left side of the pitch, especially when the team is in possession.

There’s little doubt that Sabitzer will bench Fred in the next couple of weeks.

He’s not bad with his weak foot. So that’s a plus. Maybe he can operate on the left but in a more attacking sense.

We will have to wait and see.

I won’t be surprised if he gets some minutes today. Cos the team had a training session yesterday night.

I don't think we signed him on time to beat the registration deadline but will see in a few hours.

Don't be too sure he benches Fred that quickly. It took Casemiro nearly 1 month to bench McTominay and gulf in quality between those 2 is even greater.

Sabinus will be fine if he’s spatially aware and can keep his passes accurate.

The major thing Fred brings to the table is strength and agility. Sabinus is not far behind him in those areas and he should be superior to him in other areas like ball retention, tackles, passing, and reading the game.

We’ll see soon sha.

You are spot on. In a vacuum. But you have to consider that changing leagues, teams, systems might require a bedding in period. How quickly he does that will determine how quickly he gets a starting berth. Like you said, we just need to wait n see.

We lost VDB and Eriksen and got Sabitzer. One of our academy players has to step up big time. There are just too many matches for the senior players.

True. In a vacuum.

After all, Fred seemed to be bossing his league before he came to the EPL.

Sabitzer need to be bedded and blended in. He’ll be desperate to perform to prove doubters (esp at Bayern) wrong. But he needs proper coaching if he’s going to come good.

The attributes are all there tho. Time will tell.

It’s inevitable. We play a game every midweek and weekend from now till end of March at least.

We need as many bodies as possible. I’m concerned about Bruno’s position and role tho. We have no replacements for him and he’s stubborn enough to want to play all the games- which isn’t good for him or the club.

Or pray he don’t turn out another schweistienger because he was mostly benched at Bayern. Well, you have a good coach now who can do magic with him.
