What makes you think that Gray could play 6 for us this season?
'cos he's a #6...?
another fantastic signing for them.
They lose Europa and have no CL football = Cunha and Mbuemo
I sort of know what you mean with Mbeulo, because if the boot were on the other foot, ie: another club could offer CL football + his newly installed former manager, who wouldn't JUMP at the chance? and we could have no complaints., but that's US this time!

So you either have to assume it's just money.... OR Mbeulo loves Man Utd SO much as it was his boyhood club, and THEY'RE the ONLY Big Club he's consider (shame Darren Bent didn't have the same principles!!!) 🙄
We win Europa and have CL football = Random 20 year old kid for 5m
....don't worry... Eze's coming!
 
United are close to getting Mbuemo.

Where does that put them with Cunha and Mbuemo in the team. Would they have beaten us?
Yes.. in both the lge game and the final they absolutely pummeled our defence , but luckily they couldn't finish ... Both the buys imo top end footballers...BUT we've seen what the pressure the next step up does to some players.. and utd ain't in a great place ATM... But from what I've seen of these 2 they're pretty much the finished article and my gut is telling me they'll thrive on the bigger stage.
 
Goldbridge reckons they going for Diogo Costa and Gyokeres next.

This Mark Goldbridge?

United have always had top players. The problem is they find a way to ruin them and then blame everyone but themselves. Amad has the potential to be better than Mbeumo but they'll destroy him by making him play wing back next season to accommodate their two shiny new toys.

United need a rebuild and to just accept they need to be poor for a few seasons.
Forever chasing short term fixes and kicking themselves in the face. They never plan more than 1 year ahead.
TBF, up to a point, you coulda been talking about Utd OR Spurs!!!

Did you expect anything else though?

So far this window has gone exactly how we expected it to. There won’t be any ambitious signings. Sorry to put the breaks on any excitement but we are just a constant disappointment in transfer windows.
 
Well that’s just not true is it, because it isn’t just a spurs thing at all. Eze is preferred at national team level.

They’re both better at different things.
There's nothing you can measure on a football pitch that Eze has ever done better at the PL level. Maddison is a better passer, shooter, defender, playmaker, etc.

You can't say "player X is preferred at the national team" so he's better. Southgate is a clown that literally no one on this forum wanted as the next Spurs manager - so you seem to be grossly exaggerating the relative importance of his opinion over the past couple of years.

Tuchel has called Eze up, but listed him as a forward. I don't watch internationals, but I suspect this is because he's playing as a WF rather than a #10. So he's not really being called up in preference to Maddison who can play tgere when needed but clearly should be in the centre of the park.


Either way, it really isn't a matter of Eze or Maddison. We need both to be the team we want to be and replacing Maddison with Eze either makes us worse (my opinion) or only very minutely better (some others' opinions).
 
Are Cunha and Mbeumo any better than an in form Rashford and Sancho? United have always had top players. The problem is they find a way to ruin them and then blame everyone but themselves. Amad has the potential to be better than Mbeumo but they'll destroy him by making him play wing back next season to accommodate their two shiny new toys.

United need a rebuild and to just accept they need to be poor for a few seasons. Build up with young players like Mainoo, Amad and Garnacho. Instead they'll probably fall out with them and replace all 3 with players on 300k a week! Already happening with Garnacho! Forever chasing short term fixes and kicking themselves in the face. They never plan more than 1 year ahead.

I think Cunha is a fantastic player. Very polished in all aspects.

Mbeumo i'm less sold on. I get he's coming off a career year and the hot commodity, but I won't be disappointed if he lands with United.

Exactly this.
Amazes me how people expect any different, after all these years.
No matter what Levy says, he’ll never change.
