6'2", 89kg? That's beastly for a lad his age.Needs to bulk up. No joke.
Sorry we will have to disagree. He looked shaky vs Sunderland.He was decent vs. Sunderland.People need to stop rewriting history just to fit their argument.
yeah well he's soft then, needs to man up.6'2", 89kg? That's beastly for a lad his age.
All the time. Regular players who fit into this category are Kagawa and Welbeck for me.That doesn't mean much to me these days. You ever watch a game and have such a contrasting view on one player compared to another poster such that you question if they're seeing the same game? Some posters thought Powell was excellent today for instance. Yikes
I have watched United for the last 18 years and follow all Reserves and pre-season games he has been involved him. I'd say I've watched him over 50 times in the past three/four years? And I just don't rate him. If you think differently, I don't have a problem with that!So this is a knee jerk reaction then?
I thought he was the least worst of the three centre backs though that still meant he was pretty awful. Of the three goals after Evans' gift two of them were down the left hand side where Vermijl and Evans were dreadful. Not sure how one pretty terrible rushed pass suddenly makes him a bad passer either but I guess that's probably down to people rushing to judge a player they've watched in all of about 3 games.
Agreed. He was good vs Sunderland after the inital 5-10 minutes infact. His distribution that game was better than blackett as well including the pass to set up the RVP/Young penalty incident.He was decent vs. Sunderland.People need to stop rewriting history just to fit their argument.

I hope so.This surely means we are going to go with a conventional back 4.
I hope it's 4-3-3/4-2-3-1)So we now only have 5 CB's for a 3 man back line, I wonder if that means we are moving to 4-3-3.
It's a loan...I think this sale is very telling that we will be moving to a 4 defender system.
Do you think there is a chance in hell we would have sold him if we still wanted 3 at the back?
Let him go, rather.It's a loan...
Maybe not. 5 CB's true. But, maybe Van Gaal sees Vermeijl as a good player or Tom Thorpe. Could promote another one of the youth lads. He did it at Bayern in the form of Badstuber and Alaba. Who would have thought Blackett could be a solid presence for us this season? You just never know.So we now only have 5 CB's for a 3 man back line, I wonder if that means we are moving to 4-3-3.
Why? Blackett, Rojo, Evans, Smalling, Jones and Blind for just 40 games left.Let him go, rather.
Basically my point still stands. He wouldn't have been allowed to go, surely, if we were still planning on 3 at the back.
Daley Blind is comfortable at CB. At last he started his career there.Maybe not. 5 CB's true. But, maybe Van Gaal sees Vermeijl as a good player or Tom Thorpe. Could promote another one of the youth lads. He did it at Bayern in the form of Badstuber and Alaba. Who would have thought Blackett could be a solid presence for us this season? You just never know.
True but he will be a midfielder as he rightly should. He won Dutch Player of The Year as a DM for crying out loud. He will be played there. THe Fall back will be Blind, you're right.Daley Blind is comfortable at CB. At last he started his career there.
1 of those isn't good enough, 3 are injury prone, and Blind isn't a CB.Why? Blackett, Rojo, Evans, Smalling, Jones and Blind for just 40 games left.
If Blind isn't CB then Smalling isn't aswell as he played RB for something like 3 last years. More than Blind isn't playing CB.1 of those isn't good enough, 3 are injury prone, and Blind isn't a CB.
Well I am hoping we are going to see Blind as a holding CM as we don't have another until Carrick comes back, and while none of our CB's are proven world class I think this is their season to really try and prove they can be and a traditional back 4 would help with that IMO.I hope it's 4-3-3/4-2-3-1)
But even if we play 3-5-2 with Rojo - Evans - Jones......then we've Smalling, Blackett and Blind
I don't think the numbers are the problem....no world-class defender is the problem
I think it's great to see youth promoted but not too many at once. Jones and Smalling are really being promoted to full time CB's this season, Rojo is new to the league and Blackett is getting his chance, that's enough inexperience to be going on with I feel.Maybe not. 5 CB's true. But, maybe Van Gaal sees Vermeijl as a good player or Tom Thorpe. Could promote another one of the youth lads. He did it at Bayern in the form of Badstuber and Alaba. Who would have thought Blackett could be a solid presence for us this season? You just never know.
what a ridiculous comment. Blind is as good CB as Carrick, people saying that he will come good as versatile player are right but he will play 90% of his matches in the middle at least this season. He is slow for LB/LWB for United with not many tricks, Shaw, Rojo even young James should start over him, as CB he won't start over Blackett being our most inexperienced centre back.If Blind isn't CB then Smalling isn't aswell as he played RB for something like 3 last years. More than Blind isn't playing CB.
