Because the full Japanese team would be to good for them.

Manucho is not being considered for the game tonight against Panionios due to him only arriving back in Greece on Friday morning. As you know, he was away in Japan playing for Angola and only trained yesterday morning. With only 3 games left after this one, I wonder if he will play again this season.
What a total waste of time, sending him here. All the Panathinaikos fans were really excited at the loan signing, firstly because he was a Man Utd player and then seeing his performances in the ANCup, they thought they had won the lottery. Now, they feel let down and only hope that they keep hold of him for another season, to see the real Manucho.

Hopefully he will get out of there as soon as possible. They have wasted his time there and Manucho has not been given a fair chance. Whatever it takes, we need a work permit for him.

Donut · 30th March 2008, 14:23

So he's not actually good enough for Panathinaikos?

Is it Panathinaikos' fault that hes been injured most of the time he's been there or late to come back from international duty. I'm sorry mate but Panathinaikos are under no obligation to play him in every game just because we all want to see him do well before he comes to United.

Yes they are. We're Manchester United.

No it's not, there's no excuse for not being fit enough he's a professional footballer after all. He's gone straight from a major tournament to play at Pana, and he's not fit enough to muster 90 minutes.

Apparently he got hauled off after 70 minutes mid week because he looked tired. Albeit he set up a goal.

Sounds like the new Dong!

How so?
There's nothing compareable between the two signings.

Really??? Why don't you give some examples to back your claim?? Until then, shut up and give the guy an chance.

I'm sure next season if he does bang in 5/10+ off the bench, maybe in some big games, you'll be one of those doubters that acted like you supported him from the beginning.

What belief some fans have!

Well he did fly to freaking Japan for the match, so it seems silly to accuse him of being a p**** for not playing the full 90. His opponents, who were impressed by his ability, cited jet lag as the reason for his coming off, which seems quite likely given the circumstances.

Here's the quote, which was on the previous page:

Quote:

Japan and Kashima Antlers centre-half Yohei Inoha said : “Manucho seemed as if he was still suffering jet-lag from the long journey here. But his pace, power and dribbling skills are amazing. It was the first time I have played against a player like him."

I know he got injured playing for the reserves a month or so ago. Haven't seen him since.

Whatever mate, if he was playing week in week out i'd accept that as an excuse.

The fact is he's played ONE game for Panathinaikos since the ACN.

Which was the decided by the coach, not the player.

Manucho = Saha?

Diabo_Sam · 6th April 2008, 19:01

Did he play today??

btw they lost 4-1

He did not, and that loss drops them to third place with two games left.

Diabo_Sam · 7th April 2008, 06:36

So it's clear now that we'll not get him next season.

One word, Benzema

Not necessarily. There will be 4 WC Qualifying games for Angola in May/June. If he is picked in all four, he should reach the 75% threshold to qualify for a visa, although it's difficult to get exact appearance figures from Angolan matches, they aren't particularly popular in the English speaking press.

Best guess I've seen yet on the Caf is here: Manucho watch

The friendly matches don't count, but if that poster was right about his appearances, this summer should put him over the top. And Angola are now in the top 70 (64th), so that's not a problem either unless they sink like a stone over the summer.

He came on as sub, 20 mins to go. Had one easy chance and missed it. Nothing else came his way as Panathinaikos were well beaten.

ByronSteve · 13th April 2008, 09:04

I know this post has really died a death since Manucho has failed to get a game at Panathinaikos but with TWO games left, the impossible has happened>>>>>>>>Manucho STARTS against Aris at home. The KO is 5pm UK time, which is shit because we will all be watching game v Arsenal. Never mind, will tape first half and watch 2nd half live on local TV.
Will let you know how he gets on.

Chapster · 13th April 2008, 09:29

thanks mate for the update
here's hoping!

Raven_Blade · 13th April 2008, 11:08

At last. Now I hope he goes on to score and show them what they have been missing.

Coca Cola · 13th April 2008, 11:28

hope he scores and starts a new Manucho wankfest on the caf.

park fiction · 13th April 2008, 11:33

If he scores, he is probably going to be the greatest player of all time.

Coca Cola · 13th April 2008, 19:30

They won 1 - 0. He didn´t score.
