He's not what we need, but he's probably available at a discount price.
So yeah we're definitely gonna sign him on deadline day.
I think the hardest thing in football is to buy a good attacker. I think that's doubly difficult when you take the player from another league.We bought Romero, Kulusevski and Bentacur,Vicario and Destiny from there? All pretty much turned out to be hits
And the fact you've mentioned Douglas Luiz who didn't work out there there just tells you that generally there's no rule when it comes to players going from the Prem to Serie A (Kyle Walker also flopped there as well)
And even if you don't take the league seriously Lookman bagged many times in the CL and a HT in the EL final.
Playing his ability down based on these thoughts regarding other players is a bit silly.
You're right about the players you mention, but they're not goal scorers.
Salah is the obvious exception, took off at Roma and then continued to take off in the PL.
Lookman is a good player but I do worry that he's a little too lightweight. I think exactly the same about Simons too. Not sure they're the correct physical profile.
He won't buy another CB.
In a seasons time we will all be wondering why we can't move him on when Vuskovic comes back. Danso, Gray, Romero, Davies, Micky and Takai that's six players that can play CB
We ain't loaning out Vuskovic and bringing in a seventh as cover for anything. The end of the day perhaos a centre back would come in to play first or second back up, but one of six options?
No way.
I know United are stupid but they aren’t selling one of their few club trained players.
They might loan him out but I doubt that too.
Plus Spence and Gray in desperation.
They must have come to the view that it was better to risk less cover and develop Vuskovic than keep him here. Which is fair enough, even if I think keeping him until Dragu was back would be more sensible.
Fair point. Though as they aren't in Europe this season it is less pressing.
Gray is a CM
Davies and Takai aren’t PL or CL level.
Danso plays RCB
If we don’t have a rotation option for VDV, we are rank amateurs who refused to learn anything from the last 2 years.
No one wants to hear it but Davies still exists as a CB option too.
Davies still exists- I guarantee you Levy is expecting him to be utilized if needed.
Coincidentally it came back at the same time as we got a Manager who actually bothers to do tactics...
Mainoo is similar to Sarr and Bergvall which is exactly why we don’t really need him and he doesn’t solve our problem which is a senior 10 right now
Sure you're not confusing page with year?next one will be on page 3018 !
In 12 months time Davies will be gone, Frank has already said Gray is a midfielder, Takai is just a punt. We need a centre back that can cover full back. Not saying we'll get one, probably not.
The rumour is that he's dodging calls from Deadpool
I didn't find one where Benny Hill was chased by a flock of babesBest gif for a long time
But thank you Sir.Mainoo won't play many minutes this season. They've no Europe so only one game a week.They play only 2 central midfielders because of Almiron persisting with that 3-4-2-1 system where they've signed Mbeumo and Cunha to play as the 2 behind Sesko which means Bruno will nearly always be playing in the double pivot. You can't have a double pivot of Bruno and Mainoo, it doesn't work! So the only times Mainoo has a chance of minutes is when Bruno is playing in the front 3 (means only 2 of Sesko, Cunha, Mbeumo, Mount, Zirkzee can be on the field at the same time) or if Bruno is injured (he's never injured).
Mainoo will be lucky to start any league games this year. He'll only start the early cup rounds like tonight if they rest bruno. He's not stupid, he knows that. Its a world cup year so he's going to want a move. United are worse than even we are in the market so they could easily let him go cheap if he's forcing their hand. Otherwise they've a depreciating asset who's not playing any games, not happy and going to miss out on the world cup further depreciating his stock.
