If we give him time he could become the next Alen HalilovicI'm not saying it justifies the price, but there was in fact mega hype around Tel two years or so ago
This isn't just some kid, it was supposed to be THE kid.

I mean Savinho at a minimum.Mate, I thought better of you than to get sucked into twitter drama and narrative.
Who's frantically searching for his replacement?
What LW have you seen us frantically reported to be scrambling after?
I’m genuinely not angry with Tel. He’s done nothing wrong- Max Aarons didn't look good..... He was pony in the EPL...... Once the champo hype faded it was over.
- Lampty was quick and that's about it.
Both young players with massive price-tags (esp. when you consider inflation!) despite doing fuck all, that at most were a flash in the pan; yet if the foot-stompers had their way we would have signed.
Just some perspective given the "Tel is the worst 40m of all time" narrative.

Pains me to say it, but I think Dowman is the real deal.The silver lining in it is that there's every chance Rio Ngumoha and Max Dowman wind up following the same path
I mean Savinho at a minimum.
And he's already behind Johnson and Odobert at that position, which is just a matter of Frank playing the guys who help the team.
He will get opportunities, he's young, improvement is possible. But he has already played here quite a bit, and just looks totally at sea. That wasn't a sensible purchase in the absence of a clear need and role for him, something that was impossible 48 hours after hiring Frank.
Kind of feels premeditated doesn’t it. Know Paratici is coming back, make these faux ‘bids’ to show we’re willing to spend knowing full well they aren’t happening then putting the failures on Lange.There’s the excuse.
Levy will sit on his hands and claim it’s best to wait for the Paratici to return.

Shit source but how long is he prepared to wait for them to get sales done?
If true; why have United got that long list of players they're stuck with?
Was about to type the same thing. "We couldn't get our deals done but don't worry everyone, it will all be OK because Paratici is back". So predictable.
Lange is Technical Director, why would he get canned?
Again, stop avoiding the question. What is he so good at that I, a mere mortal can't see, that you in your divine knowledge can?You support the club, not the players?? Yet you have a players name as your name on here.... how does that work??
Fucking hell.
He is a 21 year old kid. He deserves the chance to show what he can do under Frank.
You see a tiny fraction of what he is capable of. You dont see him in training, how he applies himself, anything.
Folks were writing off Bergvall at the start of last season, Sarr at the end of last season....
I think we all know the answer.Forget today. Nothing gets done today. It’s 5 days left.
To do the bare minimum of 3 in and 2 out, they need to get a deal done every day.
How would Paratici have saved the MGW saga, and Eze going to his favorite club.In what way?
Because its an admission that this summer has been an absolute shit show and total failure?
Or
Because you dont like paratici?
Noticed Bellingham at a similar age and Dowman is better IMO.
Would clash with Lange no ? Paratici would want to choose his own players oversee the see club his way as opposed to Lange’s
Paratici isn't coming in as Technical Director is he?I personally think Paratici being in charge over Lange is a very bad idea. We need to keep Lange or at least replace him with a technical director who knows football and scouting. Paratici ain’t a scout
