Hope you are being sarcastic , he doesn't play with half the intensity of his younger days now. His legs are gone.
Typical ManU retirement home style signing, his mega wages is going to sink that joke of a club even deeper
He is not really a starter at RM anymore. I don’t think they’ll miss him much.
Walker peters was a curious case…. You could spot quite easily there was a decent footballer in there …. You could as easily see he was an extremely late developer. He was still seeming as an adolescent only until I’d suggest very recently. Now he’s got a bit of muscle structure, allowing for some extra pace and power, the player he endlessly threatened to be has arrived.Agree, too many leaving early on. As yet i'd say only Madueke coming back to haunt us. Walker-Peters was a cock up on Pochs part not loaning him in 2017.
Thats my feeling on this that Real and the player have been very quick to accept everything. £60m for Real for someone that was being replaced in the first team and £300k a week for him tells me Man Utd are getting a good player but the other parties are getting the better deal by a long way.Ancelotti isn't stupid.
If Gil is going to Valencia, and he's currently the 6th forward (after Kane, Son, Kulusevski, Richarlison and Moura) I can't see him leaving Spurs without another forward coming in - mainly to back up Kulusevski who provides a lot of creativity/assists.
Can only assume the incoming is not in public domain atm, unless its the Ukraine guy who seems to be joining Marseile?
I see what you are saying but the covid quarantine skews this as it’s not likely that will be a regular occurrence moving forwardSince we signed Romero he has missed a grand total of 123 days due to injury/quarantine etc. A season is aprox 9 months typically. 9 x 30 days = 270 days. 270 / 123 is almost half a season.
Add in the likelihood he's gonna pick up suspensions as well.
As for cost - £42 for a player who plays a lot is a bargain.
£42 for a player who misses half a season at a time requiring us to spend another vast sum of money is £42m + vast sum of money.,
Could cut to the fucking chase and just spend the vast of money and cut the £42 free if he's always gonna be injured.
At the very least we need bide our time before making this deal permanent. We should asses whether this is isolated or is going to be a regular occurrence going forward.
Maddison if we sell/ move on 2 or 3
Ancelotti said today the player wants to move, so he’s not going to stop him.Ancelotti isn't stupid.
He's still the starter. It's just that RM are under 0 pressure to keep him. They've won everything, the offer is too good to refuse, they've already gotten the replacement and whatever happens, Ancelotti is a legend there.Ancelotti isn't stupid.
He didn’t start the first la liga game. Tchouameni did.He's still the starter. It's just that RM are under 0 pressure to keep him. They've won everything, the offer is too good to refuse, they've already gotten the replacement and whatever happens, Ancelotti is a legend there.
That doesn't mean that he's not the starter. If Camavinga starts ahead of Kroos next game, it doesn't meant that Camavinga is the starter (as much as I think that Kroos falls into the Firminho category, a.k.a players whose legs are completely gone).He didn’t start the first la liga game. Tchouameni did.
You would fucking hope soWith a Ndombele, Lo Celso gone and Gil, Regulion, Tanganga also looking like going you’d think new signings will be soon
Sounds like “there is truth” in this then.That’s what Hercules said…
Yep it's not like Gio or Ndom needed replacing.I think its all on Gil and Tanganga, those 2 go we'll be signing 2 more.
PLEASE SAMP!
Hitchen looks worse and worse over time sure, but I'm not sure he shares any of the blame for the mismanagement of our academy.Walker peters was a curious case…. You could spot quite easily there was a decent footballer in there …. You could as easily see he was an extremely late developer. He was still seeming as an adolescent only until I’d suggest very recently. Now he’s got a bit of muscle structure, allowing for some extra pace and power, the player he endlessly threatened to be has arrived.
Should we have utilised the loan system successfully, we’d have a club trained homegrown player in a position we continually struggle to fill.
How a leading professional club is fucking up the basics like this is a worry. I think there was a huge void from the manager to the youth setup which manifest in young players being offered minimal direction to develop. The few good ones we did have were mismanaged or lacking in faith enough that they went elsewhere.
I’ve said it prior but that hitchen gets worse and worse the longer you see what a genuine director of football is implementing. That void is being filled and hopefully paratici is achieving this with genuine talent
