Chelseafan1:
I have a feeling the 89m blown on Pogba would even make it hard for y'all to get good players for cheap.

Your defence + GK aren't doing bad IMO, na to create chances and score goals be the major problems.

SIRcumalot:
what about the inter side with snejider ?
i think that is another good example.
time still dey for market.i also expect martial to be really good next season.

Diademk07:
Of course I can see we had lot of chances against Celta..

If that Guidettii of a guy wasn't so wasteful, you probably wouldn't be coming up with such prediction.

ChristineC:
what's happened to Cameron Jackson for left back? no one can buy a whole new 11. the lad showed enough promise to be given opportunity.

Chelseafan1:
Lmao....With all these players you want, like how much do you envisage Man utd will spend next transfer window?? 300m, 400m, 500m or more??

Diademk07:
Mkhi is a winger na or maybe a wing forward.. All I know is he's looked better for us on the wing than in the centre just like he did at Dortmund and when I say on the wing, I mean on the right wing. The problem is Mkhi operates on space and when there's no space for him, he's often tosh.

Personally I would love to see him as a box-box CM for us because I've heard he looked good in the position for his country and I think he did well in the position at Shaktar although I haven't seen him play there but as far as I'm concerned, he was rubbish as a no 10 for Dortmund until he was moved to the wing and hasn't covered himself in glory in the few times he played as a no 10 for us either.

Another thing to worry about is his stamina. He gets tired too easily. Hence, I don't know how that box-box position is feasible.

But let me ask you this, if we have 2 DM to partner Herrera in the midfield where is the AM position that Pogba/Mhki/Mata is supposed to play?

SIRcumalot:
i go start to lose faith in jose managerial ability based on how he go use James.
i share the same fears with most of you concerning this ninja.
he built a really decent madrid side with ozil who no get the highest work rate maybe he can do the same next season.
the dablord can say bye-bye to that 4-3-3 dream.

afrodoc2:
We can't be stockpiling AMs all over the place. We need true wing forwards and pacy CFs to stretch the defence both laterally and vertically.

If JM wants 4-2-3-1 next season I would prefer Mikki and one other person to compete for that position and if James comes that person would be him leaving Mata out.
If JM wants 4-3-3 I don't think James solves our problems, however if he comes then it makes sense that it is to replace Mata.
Having said all that Mata staying won't get me too bothered AS LONG AS FELLAINI GOES.

AdisaOwala:
You enlighten me on the crust of the matter - Aluminum or iron crust??

afrodoc2:
In that role he will drift inside, leaving the job of width and crossing to only Valencia and we know that is DOA. Also he will allow the LB and LW to combine and pummel Valencia in our half. He is a luxury player best accommodated as a 10.
We should stop stockpiling all these no 10s masquerading as wingers or wing forwards. If James comes it's only natural Mata goes.

raumdeuter:
With the potential purchase of James, what do you see in his future,

I think he wil flop. elampiro_, afrodoc2_, ibime_ nihilist_ a40_ what do you think

Another latin player who grudgingly comes to Man Utd for a huge fee. I dont se James as someone that will be defending against a full back like Mourinho wants

I want to see how Miki, Pogba, Herrera James etc will lineup next season

weedtaker:
I like that RAFAEL GUERERO guy from portugal be like na dortmund him de play now.

eph12:
With the right support and tactics, Martial can hold 2-3 players down on the left side. He just needs an intelligent overlapping left back to build a connection with. That is what we should be looking for.

SIRcumalot:
Your head dey there.

Funlord2:
£50 million? For the kind of talent you are seeing on display in those videos? For a captain of his country's national team! For an experienced 25 year old entering hopefully the best years of his career? In today's market? Men no allow ed woodward hear you oh!

William Wallace abi which willian again? You think chelsea wants to make their squad weaker when they have champions league to hustle for next season!

Funlord2:
He might be sold...Mata has not really done much @ united in all fairness...he was a better player for chelsea and he is also slow and aging...if he can manage league cup games or wait for injuries to key players then he can stay but if rodriguez and grizzy show....Na throw pillow go sure pass for am!

eph12:
It's very obvious. Unless we just look at names and get excited, there's nothing to suggest Mkhi will perform better than Martial in that left wing.

eph12:
When they are both on their A game Martial is better on the left. He can beat his marker better, has more speed and more agile than Mkhi. Mkhi performed better in the hole but then he gets crowded easily.

GloryIsaac:
He's actually good and is definitely an upgrade but as you rightly pointed out, he's not what we need at the moment.....
Btw, He's more of an Inside Forward or Playmaker than the typical EPL winger...
Lingard should go and sleep abeg.

weedtaker:
like seriously, after what we've all witness dis season, the first signing the club is about to make is that of an attacking midfielder? them never use mata, mhiki and pogba finish dem de add james join. shey goals full that one boot like lampard

“I don’t feel let down,” said Ferguson, his mentor. “There can’t be any recriminations in my heart.” Nor should there be among any of us. Remorse is natural when someone special departs suddenly, but sadness could only ever give way to gratitude for what Cantona achieved. Never has it been better to have loved and lost a player, than never to have watched him play at all.

adebayo201:
As much as we dont want the players to get injured, we must also note that players dont get injured why playing on the field during games only! During training, injury can come, sometimes, reckless tackles can lead to injury (Jones coming to mind).


Now, I think the readon for bringing up those players was to be able to calm the game down and players playing their "suitable" positions too. Also, the way JM managed these players from now till Europa Cup finals matter.

Spy360:
So both Ibra and Zlatan are injured abi?

When amadioha puts confusion in your enemies camp.

Jose needs grown-ups

For what it’s worth, I think Winty was harsh on United and Mourinho this morning, though I can’t deny it was a poor performance (and those have been pretty standard at home unfortunately). But it strikes me as odd that all of the blame seems to get heaped on Mourinho, who inherited a bloated yet experienced squad that somehow had virtually no leaders in it.
Mourinho acquired Ibra, Pogba and Bailly in the summer, and has founded his team around them, Valencia and Herrera. Those are the only players who seem to take the level of responsibility that you’d expect. Fergie usually had XIs that could have had 8-9 people as captain (one year we had about 10 international captains) because you need leaders all over the pitch. This also isn’t helped by the older players in the squad, like Fellaini and Young, being the weaker ones.
Mourinho does get criticised for his summer and January activity in hindsight, but what was he supposed to do, literally swap the entire squad in a single season? The simple fact is, he inherited a huge number of players who aren’t grown-up enough to handle big games. This is best highlighted in defence, where Smalling, Jones and Blind (who was truly abysmal yesterday), along with Darmian and Shaw, all seem to rely on someone else to do their job half the time. Midfield isn’t as bad but we lack someone to control the game from the base of a midfield three. Carrick is now too slow, and weirdly too careless all of a sudden, and it’s also clear Schweinsteiger was no better. The loss of Ibra and Rooney’s wretched form has meant that we lack a focal point in attack either, and it’s a lot to ask a 19 year old to do it.
Basically, there aren’t many grown ups in the squad nowadays, and this needs to be rectified in the summer. A centre back to partner Bailly (especially with Rojo’s injury), a replacement for Carrick, and probably a high profile forward are the priorities – and the other squad players to come in need to have serious character. Arsenal have demonstrated what happens when you let average players fester and continuously sign new contracts (Walcott anyone?). I think Mourinho needs to be ruthless in the summer and finish the clear out. There’s a case for Carrick, Rooney, Blind, Darmian, Fellaini, Young, Smalling, Jones and Shaw all not being good enough. I would keep Shaw as he has bags of potential, and Blind/Darmian are versatile, but the others need to go and bring in young and hungry players (Axel, TFM, Perreira) and some players with character.

Nihilist:
Guy you suppose don discharge that clown since. His post history has already betrayed his ideological leanings.
Don't be surprised if you see him on crimewatch tommorow after they arrest him for trying to radicalize punters at a betting shop.

ollah2:
Like i said earlier, you are writing nonsense. I asked you and Nihilist simple questions. How did I relate the discourse to religion? Why didn't I go haywire when he called him a terrorist and while repeating it? Would you have said all this if Iran wasn't a muslim country or perhaps conclude I'm a Muslim? Why didn't I tackle him when he called Messi a terrorist?

Only a foool sleeps, wakes up and label an entire country terrorist.

Foools supports foools

airmark:


So if buhari says bh is on our side against militants. Does it mean bh is sponsored by fg? Didnt fg negotiate with bh to release the chibok girls? Stop that theory bro.

airmark:
Thats taqqiya for you (islamic deception). Anytime a terrorist strikes and the news on homepage, you will see him there, telling everyone the dude with darkened forehead and beards is sponsored by America to tarnish islam's image. He thinks everyone is an unexposed, madrasat graduate. I was laughing reading his posts here, i had engaged him in the past.

Danhumprey:
No offence. But Sinizia is right and you should stop denying the obvious. you're not dealing with kids here.

the obvious truth is, Nihilist's statement calling Iranian a terrorist, although tongue-in-cheek, was what riled you up.

Why? why did that statement riled you up?

because of the tag 'terrorist' which is too often associated with Islam. and being a Muslim yourself, you took offence at that statement, cause you felt that your religion was being slighted.

you took that banter too far. you brought religion into it, judging by the way you reacted.


Chill! don't take stuffs like this too serious.

ollah2:
You are simply writing nonsense. What has religion got to do with this? I said and i'm reiterating, only a foool would tag a whole country a terrorist. Why can't he go to downing street to label TM a terrorist and make them understand its just a word of mouth. Whatever CR7 and Messi are called are all banters. Didn't he call Messi a terrorist?

Would you go ahead and call all Americans terrorist or Canadians? Didn't he call me terrorist times without number? Did I castigate him? Did I call him one in return? The problem with you lots are religion and tribe.

You will never look things from a neutral perspective. The rubbish you are talking about wouldn't have birthed if the said guy wasn't an Iranian.

ollah2:
Next time, don't label anyone a terrorist without a substantial proof
