TM shows as LM but it was actually LWB. For some reason they always show LWB/RWB as LM/RM.
As well as strong defensively and more danger in the final 3rd. Only question mark is, are they technical enough to turn under pressure when playing out of defense?
This is why our season consists of trying to win a cup and get in the top 4. Look at the money on players we thought were going to be class and have flopped spece Ryan sess gill are 3 straight away jack Clarke the list can go on and on
I don't think Chelsea and United are the benchmark for spending money wisely on players

Olmo probably not for us then
True but the trophy cabinet don't lie or the history books. We get tagged spursy
Is hearing we tried and failed better than hearing we didn’t even try . I think I like both the apathy and defeatist attitude of the latter more
20 times of winners of the greenest pitch or hotels
Bro... in the last 2 years united spent 65 mil on Mount and 95 mil on Anthony (euros)
Sure they have many more trophies than us in the prem league era but their transfers the last few years have not been anything to crow about.
As for the term spursy ... if you're triggered by it then you're just reacting the way they want you too...I really wouldn't worry about it
Barca have been wanting him back ever since they let him leave for Dinamo Zagreb (back in 2014)
Not sure I was really buying the rumours of our interest anyway tbh
And 75 million on Sancho.
It's freakery how we have failed to win a trophy in however long.
Some will always say we haven't spent enough but it's only ever going to be enough when we win something. We have spent and wasted a lot of money.
It's a flat argument.
Daniels just cracked open a bottle of champagne knowing that another high profile obtainable target has been taken "out of his hands"
If we sign him for £30m this summer when we could have got him for £3m we and the new transfer set up are going to look pretty bloody stupid. Can’t see levy signing off on that and I wouldn’t blame him.
Agree that we need to spent smartly, but also feel that a calculated punt on high cost talent is the difference between competing for something and winning something.
Some people take this "it's all about scouting" argument too far and explain that money doesn't equate to quality. Then a few weeks later claim that we should care about top 4, stadium and hotels over a mickey mouse trophy because it allows us to attract better talent.
Have a look at Bissouma's heatmap this season and McGregors from last season. Ange doesn't play with a "sitting"#6.

Heat maps are deceiving, especially for central mids. Of course there are gonna be times when Bissouma ventures from his spot in front of the defence, doesn't mean he's not primarily a sitter and doesn't mean Ange doesn't use classic #6s.Have a look at Bissouma's heatmap this season and McGregors from last season.

Admittedly sometimes Sarr, Maddison, or Bentancur would rotate into the role in the build up to provide passing options and passing angles, and Biss would sometimes drop to the fullback role or advance up the pitch into the space vacated, but out of possession there would almost always be a sitting 6 there, and when Biss was on the pitch it was mostly him.
