Wait till komekn tells you that league one is better than the Bulgarian league
Common, Komekn is not that crazy. Only a person with half a brain will claim that a 3rd tier league is better than a top flight Bulgarian league.

Abi no be the same Dortmund Gio Reyna don dey provide assist like pure water since the season start? Tomorrow now, they will come and claim that he's better than greenwood because Dortmund has overvalued him at 150m once a decent club wants to sign him grin

Those guys were dropped when they were still playing well. Sone was nominated for Championship player of the season just 4 or 5 seasons ago but dem block am.
The only person of concern there is Aluko. The rest were sh!t Alukos case was because he had issues with coach/officials. The couldn't reconsile, so it's a unique case.

But the rest were not dumped. They just were not good enough to be invited. And it's not a Foreign born player conspiracy. It happens to Even the home grown too

LMFAO......The most interesting fact is I look around most top clubs in Europe and the only club Sancho won't start for right now is Liverpool due to Salah. Messi is no longer even a winger. But the so called enemies of United progress are here typing trash about the boy on a daily. The best 20yr old on the planet was available and ready to come to United but the freaking Ed was joking around.
Here we go again. Na so dem hype Maguire as the next Maldini for us. Saying he will start in most teams. Meanwhile Baba is a fridge who struggles at highline defending because he moves like a trailer grin

Na here we go dey greenwood go still outscore him by season end even though Greenwood is being played as a RW instead of CF

typical Nigeria politicians everywhere.
I'll rather have a Kevin playing actively in the bundesliga being catapulted into the team than a Viv Otabor playing in Bulgaria.

At least they are catapulting a better player that will add to the team improvement, and not a Bulgarian league player who is not better than Oladapo in Enyimba

You don't mean it? cheesy

Just for that 50m AWB purchase Ole and Matt Judge deserve to lose their jobs. I never watched Crystal Palace 2 seasons ago but when i heard the rumors of the impending deal and the fact that people were hyping him for benching AWB i went to watch a few highlights.

It didn't take me more than 2 minutes of highlights to confirm that he was a small club fullback. Zero attacking nous, negative passing ability. But some here argued with me that he will get better in a big team as if he intentionally refused to show those skills at Crystal Palace.

It was not until he got here and we watched him regularly that we discovered that apart from zero attacking ability he was also had poor positioning.

As an uncapped, unproven defensive fullback he should not have cost more than 15m pounds.
Woodward has learnt the hard way. grin

He's not paying shit load for any player any time soon. You over price your player like this, he moves to the next alternative. It's the model clubs like Bayern have been using , which usually make it look like they buy good players at bargain prices. That is because they usually scout for more than 2-3 players for a position they want to buy for.
Man utd model of going for a single player and stay fixated on the player is the reason why they usually get bullied into paying ridiculous fees, because those clubs will see them as desperate

They don't want to sell for now, most likely, that's why the idiots refused to negotiate a possible 100m deal in this economic meltdown that clubs are cutting valuations on some of their players.

Okay o. If they really wanted him to go they would have agreed a loan deal for dembele
Barca was just testing waters too see if they can push dembele on our neck and buy him permanently, as per we were desperate for a RW,but Baba no send. He even upped the loan package by agreeing to pay a loan fee to Barca , as well as paying his full wages like Bayern did with Coutinho. May be it was at that point that Barca thought we must really be desperate and they decided to hold on to see if we will bulge and buy Doctor Dembele permanently out of desperation. They must be kicking themselves now for not accepting Woodward deal grin Because Depay was in standby waiting for Dembele to leave, and they will be surprised that Woodward did not bulge grin
They think it's the old Woodward they are negotiating with grin Baba don wise already.

Even Telles, deal won't have happened if Porto did not give themselves brain and accepted the 15m offer on Saturday instead of waiting for 20m they were demanding in the beginning grin

Dortmund barely do add ons on their priced assets because they don't want to sell at the moment. Check Dembele deal na.

Before you start getting ideas, they already said he was not for sale and slammed that 108m plus that stupid deadline on Sancho's deal.

These niggas are hoping to cash out if you force their hands.

I still hope thunder faya that club.
I don't buy the , "they don't want to sell at the moment" excuse. They are a selling club, and they are always ready to sell. it's just that it is their sick way of negotiating and milking out as much money as they can out of the buying club.

Barca's problem has more to do with squad number rather than money though.

If they don't release some of their players, the can't bring in another, because it seems la Liga has a rule for the number of players they must have in the squad

Sancho has a far superior wing play than all our front men.
Ain't even up for a debate.
That is very far from the truth. There's nothing superior about Sancho wing play bro. The only edgehe has over our wingers, and why people wanted him was because he can play RW without his output dropping. Aside that, Rashford and Martial will eat him raw as a LW

Fact is United couldn't afford Sancho. Having the money is another thing entirely.

Good decision to invest for the future by the way, when they come good it'll be a massive win. (They can slam 200mil on their heads) grin
@bolded. Saying that they can't afford him is not a fact. Because they did submitted a 90million plus add ons to 100million bid. If they can't afford him, they won't submit a bid for such amount of money.

If they were submitting a bid of 70million for a 120 million player like the way Arsenal usually bid for a player, then I'll agree

May be they couldn't bring themselves to spending 120m on a player that is not so different from the young guys we present have in the team. Reason why they decided to divest in the last minute and buy those two youngsters as a long term option.

If we wanna be truthful to ourselves, Sancho may likely end up dragging LW with Rashford, Martial and Dan James. I've watched several of his Clips and I see him more of a LW than a RW.

He's a good Player no Doubt, but 120milla is too much.
Exactly the point Rooney was making in the news the other time.

As a LW player , he's definitely not better than Martial or Rashford. The only player he's better than is James.

Any coach that succeeds OGS will first demand for a true striker, because Martial as a CF is still a little bit limited.

They were bought on the cheap bro.

Forget this Shalaye, the club couldn't afford Sancho that's all. cheesy
You mean, a club that decides to pay 30million for an unknown 18 yr old with barely an hour of senior football cannot pay 120m fo Sancho if it decides to?

The fact that they decided to buy two RW players that could potentially solve our RW problem in the nearest future shows that the decision was more than just about money. Sancho is right footed player who will eventually still drift back to LW. Why not kukuma but two young left footed player who will see the RW as their natural position.

The reason I'm not surprised is that the club has said it that they are also planning for the future. So I'm not surprised with the way the transfer went.

In two years time, the club will have two natural RW, (not make shift , cos I still see Sancho as a make shift RW)

I will correct you a lot more than that, l will remind you of just three.

Anichebe, Aluko and Akpon, we used them they were outstanding for the SE and summarily dumped them without explanation for players like SHEHU and others.
For every of those guys dumped, there are more home grown players that have been dumped too like that. Don't come here and be making it look like there's an agenda against them. Moreso , the guys you mentioned couldn't cut it anymore. It happens every time. Because they are foreign born will not mean they deserve special treatment

The media killed him, they were comparing him to xavi and iniesta at the same time.
The media are dangerous for young English players just look at greenwood and foden I hope and pray they don't ruin them
Why do you think Man utd coach was angry at Southgate for inviting him to the national team and putting him in front of press for a pre-match press conference.

He's been there himself and knows what the English press can do and he doesn't want it for greenwood. But Southgate is dull anyway

It's like you guys haven't noticed a pattern with Ole. If he eventually makes a comeback , it will last for another 10 to 12 games before he comes back to being shitty again and the cycle continues.

So whatever comeback he does will not last. We've been there before.

The club didn't disrespect him. Your agitation should be on Ole for dropping him in three cup finals. That one is on Ole , not the club as a whole.

If you term not allowing him to leave on a cheap as disrespect, then it means you probably have a new meaning for the word that we don't know about yet.
You don't expect the club to just release him like that for free. It doesn't work that way. In as much as I really feel for Romero on a personal level, just like other United fans too, but it is business. It is what it is.

she's forgotten that Woodward is running a business here and won't accept any deal that won't favour him, as evident in this transfer window. If Woodward is doing money father Christmas, Sancho would have been a Man United player by now. Make she calm down and let Romero agent earn his wage by going to work and shop for a club for him that will buy him.

I'm sure Woodward no wicked , he will accept any offer of 13-15m just like smalling. He's surplus to requirements already and Woodward himself would love to let him go for the right price so as to earn some cash and free up the teams wage bill a little
