List your top 5 players who should never play for United again and why

[crossy1686]

Romero? Seriously? He has done nothing but do well for us every chance he's got.

Just get him gone. I'm tired of seeing some of these players faces. They've got no attachment to the club other than a salary and being able to say "I played for Manchester United". I find it hard to believe most of them will follow that up with "during the shit years".

Time to start again with a bunch of players that are enthusiastic.

 

[crossy1686]

Jones, Valencia, Darmian, Fellaini, Blind

Mourinho has had 4 transfer windows and yet we’ve still got so much deadwood

Our defence today was the same one we had around 5 years ago, a huge overhaul is needed

Don't think it would be fair to count the January windows in that. You can't buy what isn't available.

 

[Grylte]

Romero? Seriously? He has done nothing but do well for us every chance he's got.

Best backup GK in the league, maybe the world, no idea why someone wants him out.
But i guess i shouldn't be surprised, someone mentioned DDG in this thread too, hopefully pisstake.

You're being a clown. Romero is a great backup and you have no idea about his thoughts and feelings about the club.

 

[Freak]

Jones - he’s been given too much time and still continues to make the same mistakes.
Fellaini - we need to move on from him.
Mata - pointless most of the time
Shaw - not good enough mentally
Darmian - no use for him really

 

[SWE-Chucky]

Get rid of Romero? I cant think of any better back up for DDG. The guy is brilliant, I believe Romero has six clean sheets in his last seven FA Cup appearances - then Mourinho puts him on the bench in final and he will still have smile on his face and be ready if we need him.

He is a great asset to the club.

 

[AgentP]

1. Fellaini - No explanation necessary
2. Mata - Not good enough anymore
3. Jones - overrated and injury prone
4. Young - Not a good LB
5. Valencia - Gives zero support in attack

Darmian, Shaw and Blind don't play for us already so no point in including them in the list.

 

[DomesticTadpole]

Blind
Darmian
Jones
Rojo
Fellaini
He seems obsessed with keeping Fellaini as Plan B. Well Jose maybe you should concentrate more on getting Plan A working properly.

I could add Young and Valencia in there, but I would either keep both as backups to better FBs or at least keep Young for that purpose. Mata is not being used enough, so would be better going and Shaw just to kick start his career as Jose will not let it happen here.

 

[Gopher Brown]

Fellani, Shaw, Rojo, Blind, Darmian, Martial, Rashford (loan), Lingard, Jones, Smalling, Mata, Herrera, Romero.

Honestly fed up with the lack of everything this lot have consistently shown. Just burn it down and start again next season, we're fecking miles away from being a cohesive unit.

Bite the bullet and spend £500m, would be cheaper in the long run with the way the transfer market is going.

Pogba and Sanchez are one full season away from making that list also.

You realise burning it down and starting again puts us further away from having a cohesive unit?

 

[ODB2010]

I don't think I'd be able to stop at 5,thats the problem!! Too many average players being paid astronomical amounts of money!

 

[anant]

Fellaini
Smalling
Darmian
Blind
Valencia

 

[VinnyRedDevil]

Jones - He is not good enough.
Smalling - Same as Jones.
Darmian - Same as Jones.
Fellaini - There are better players out there.
Shaw - Seems hopeless. Waited long enough for him to come good.

 

[Revaulx]

Threads like this show the Caf at its very worst.

People should spend more time thinking about why our superstar attackers consistently underperform.

 

[Acole9]

Fellani, Shaw, Rojo, Blind, Darmian, Martial, Rashford (loan), Lingard, Jones, Smalling, Mata, Herrera, Romero.

Romero hasn't done anything wrong.

 

[SpyLuke10]

1. Sanchez.
2. Darmian.
3. Blind.
4. Jones.
5. Fellaini.

In that order, they are also the only 5 I'd consider getting rid of.

EDIT:

To clarify, I'd get rid of Darmian and Blind because they are the only 2 players left in the squad I regard as "deadwood". Jones is a bit better than deadwood but he just can't be relied on, even as a backup centre half. He is way too mistake prone, he has single handedly potentially cost us several games this season. Fellaini is a good player imo but he doesn't suit the way/style I want United to be playing in the future so I wouldn't give him another contract, he can leave. He's also really starting to piss me off with his antics about getting a new contract and unfounded arrogance and his shit-talking about United (also Jose begging him to stay is not a good look for the club ). As for Sanchez, well for me he so far has proven to be the worst signing United has made under Mourinho. I could talk all day about that but if you want more on that look at my history of posts/comments on the issue...

As for some commonly mentioned players:

Shaw - I'd like us to keep him, I still think he can amount to something at the club. However I wouldn't be distraught if he left. There are 5 players ahead of him though for this though imo.
Rashford (on loan, no option to buy) - If there was any season for him to go out on loan it would've been this season, but I think the ship has sailed now, we've experienced his "second season blues", things should hopefully be on the way up with him from here. Maybe he could go on loan, if he got guarantees about playing, but then we would maybe need to sign another forward for while he was gone. In conclusion, no way.
Romero - Are you on drugs?
Smalling - He, along with Bailly and Rojo, are the only centre backs at the club who have shown they are good enough to be around for the long term, for Rojo and Smalling at the very least as backups to the potential pair of Bailly and someone, maybe Lindelof eventually?
Young - Good squad player, should not even be remotely first choice though next season.

 

[Bestietom]

Rashford ( another Welbeck) Sanchez ( Keeps losing the ball) Lingard ( falls over his own Shadow) Martial ( too inconsistent) Herrera ( too many Back Passes)

These are players in the team, or on bench most of the time. We have a lot of fringe players (about 8) that should be moved on also. We need a big clear out, and new faces brought in who deserve to wear the shirt.

 

[van Nistelrooy]

Rashford is a League one player now?

Man, this place is weird after we lose.

He's been at that level for most of the season, whether we win or lose.

 

[McGrathsipan]

Threads like this show the Caf at its very worst.

Is it not obvious?

 

[robinrooney]

Smalling - shit on the ball and panics a lot. Always a mistake in him.
Fellaini - tall and shit
Valencia - useless going forward and shit
Smalling - as above
Fellaini - as above


Mourinho - boring and now becoming shit

 

[Lawman]

Not sure these guys should never play again but I’d like an upgrade on:

Mata
Lingard
Herrera
Young
Valencia

I would not say they should never play again or not be squad fillers but for me these guys don’t now have the quality to be regulars.

This I can agree with. We can certainly upgrade on these guys. But I like them all as squad players.

 

[Nickosaur]

Stop the hate for Valencia & Young. 2 great players for united who have been great servants to the club

Yeah you idiots, you're only allowed to hate the guys that baz hates.

 

[champp1nho]

Not in any order but;
Rashford: Decision making 0/10, and he's just feckin dumb.
Mata: Slow as a snail
Young & Valencia: Only a masochist wants to see them playing fullbacks.

 

[Lawman]

Yeah you idiots, you're only allowed to hate the guys that baz hates.

No @bazalini is spot on. These guys this season have been fantastic for us. It’s not their fault they are winding down. I’m far more pissed at Shaw and Darmain who cannot even compete with them.

 

[IrishMcD]

Darmian.....he is god awful
Jones.....injury prone donkey
Valencia....has been my least favourite United player for years. His inability to get the ball past the first defenders shin drives me insane. Also hate how as soon as he meets a defender he sticks the breaks on and just shuffles on the spot before passing backwards.
Lingard....Stupid handshakes, stupid dance moves, and very average player.
Rashford.....darling of the British media. Massively over hyped and over rated. Brainless.

 

[Robbo*]

1. Phil Jones - I think he is brutal.
2. Jesse Lingard - he offers nothing. ideal for someone like Stoke. good luck England in WC with this guy.
3. Rashford - the kid has serious pace but no first touch. Sunderland would love him.
4. Alexis Sanchez - 14 groundstaff get paid annually what this guy gets paid in a week. think about it for 1 second. Done nothing for united
5. Rojo - when we lost at home to Seville in champions league - this guy was first United player out of Old Trafford wearing red boot snickers with diamonds on them. Seriously!!!!!


I paid £4k to fly over to Wembley and watch that shite. 2k to go to OT and watch us get beaten by Seville and have Roja walk past me wearing red snickers with diamonds in then and soles that lit up . Fcuk away on with you. yeah I'm drunk. I'm allowed to be, but that was crap. give Moyes or Van Gaal any day. Mourinho has lost it.

4K?!where from?

Valencia has to be top of list, with Jones and Darmian closely following

 

[SNes]

The 5 I'm going for are the pass it sideways and backwards players so...

1 Mata
2 Valencia
3 Young
4 Fellaini
5 Darmian

 

[Jig1234]

Valencia/Young - Useless beyond the half way line. Can't cross, beat a man. Don't make runs forward. Only want to sit deep and contain. Uninspiring pair of full backs that are not good enough.

Smalling - Technically ungifted. Awkward on the ball, can't get into the England for this very reason. Looks suspect all the time. His poor ability on the ball forces the midfield deeper, having to come collect the ball because he doesn't have the skills to on the ball to pass out.

Jones - Injury prone. Suspect with ball over the top. Tends to be worse when he has Smalling next to him. Smalling and Jones have had enough time both need to go.

Sanchez - Since his arrival Utd have been worse. Not better or worse than Mkhitaryan. Pretty much the same. Awful in possession. Comes inside too much. Looks busy running around but doesn't do enough. Might improve next season but I don't believe thats possible under Mourinho. Luxury player. I think we were better without him. Only reason I'm putting him on this list is because he plays every week, is awful all the time and never gets called out on it because he is one of Jose's favourites. I think we would have better balance if he wasn't in the team.

Players like Darmian, Blind and Fellaini should leave and probably will but those players are not starting and hardly feature. They don't have a significant impact on our performance which is why I left them out.

 

[LoSpritz]

I think right now it's more difficult to name 5 players that SHOULD play for United again.
How can we have spent so much money and still be in a position where we need a huge clear-out?

 

[Cassidy]

Maybe the squad isn't the issue, or the only issue.

 

[Laurentiu amt]

Valencia - Never UTD quality, absolutely no help when going forward
Smalling - No player @ManUtd shouldn't know how to hit a 10 yard ball. One of the bases of being a pro football player is the ability to play with the ball. If you don't have that, I don't feking know how you can get into the starting eleven at one of the biggest clubs in the world.
Young - The most predictable fullback I've ever seen (After Valencia tho) - not united quality
Rashford -> Typical Arsenal player, full time bottler
Jones -> All over the place. Can't hit a pass, no positional awareness, can't tackle with his left foot, can't pass with his left foot, weak in the air, can't get out from the back with the ball at his feet. I mean the guy misses at most things that make a great CB, how the fek does he get near this team?

 

[Jig1234]

Good point. Hard to name anyone thriving under Mourinho. Can't get the best of out the players he inherited or the players he signed. He signed Bailly and Lindelof but still uses Smalling and Jones in a Cup final. Unbelievable that Bailly and Lindelöf have not started a single game together in a back 4. Played once in a 3.

 

[Bojan11]

No @bazalini is spot on. These guys this season have been fantastic for us. It’s not their fault they are winding down. I’m far more pissed at Shaw and Darmain who cannot even compete with them.

Me and you have a different definition of fantastic.

These two are one of the reasons why we hit a downhill slope. Everyone used to groan under Fergie when he played them because we knew nothing would happen. We move them further back and same result. They both useless.

Valencia has a great first season. But since that injury he has always been hesitant to beat his man.

Young is useless and I never warmed to him. He’s been here 7 years and still overhits the same crosses.

 

[Lentwood]

Dailly Blind - too small to play CB, too slow to play LB, not good enough/atheltic enough to play DM/CM

Matteo Darmian - just rubbish

Chris Smalling - has the technique and poise of a giraffe wearing rollerblades

Antonio Valencia - just rubbish

Ashley Young - mediocre, not good enough to play as a winger and a makeshift full back at best

Ander Herrera - not criminally bad at anything but not good at anything either. Mid-table player.

Maroune Fellaini - not good enough on the ball. Clumsy

Marcus Rashford - ive said it since he broke into the team, its a nice story and a nice idea but the lad is crap (in the context of the calibre of player we need)

Juan Mata - no pace, no strength, struggles to kick ball more than 15yards, doesn’t actually provide that many incisive passes for somebody supposedly a playmaker. Goes backwards.

Jesse Lingard - see Herrera

That ladies and gentlemen is why I will defend Jose to the hilt, because to get that shower of sh**e into 2nd position is a minor miracle. Chelsea, Spurs and Liverpool all have better, more experienced teams/squads than us and we managed to somehow finish above them

Im an advocate of binning every player on the list and starting with the tea lady if we have too. No more ‘make do’s’ or ‘does a jobbers’.

[arthurka]

Pogba, Sanchez , Mata, Darmian , Jones, Rojo, Fellaini , Lindelof, Blind.. Please take Jose with you when you leave ..

Yeah, that is pure nonsense.

 

[peridigm]

The question should be which 5 players from current squad do you keep with the rest being shipped out.

DDG, Bailey, Pogba, Matic, Lukaku

That’s not a realistic scenario though so I’ll go with the obvious. Entire back 4 from yesterday plus Martial. We can’t be expected to compete with the elite using former wingers under SAF as fullbacks. Jones/Smalling are not world class. Martial is a one trick pony that does not have what it takes to be a weekly starter.

The obvious players leaving include Blind, Darmian, Fellaini, Mata, & Rojo. Rightly so.

I’d keep Rashford, Lingard, Lindelof, and Shaw as they’re decent backup for what we will need to rebuild this squad to compete with the best but none should be relied on as starters.

Sanchez is a tough one. I wanted us to sign him but he’s clearly not fulfilled his expectations. I honestly think him coming in has upset the mentality in the squad perhaps due to the younger players being tighter and his wages. I’m giving him a pass on judgement and next season to prove his worth.

 

[OnlyTwoDaSilvas]

He's been at that level for most of the season, whether we win or lose.

Its the hyperbole I disagreed with, rather than the criticism. He has been poor and I'm not sure he's good enough for a top 4 side, but he's still Premier League quality.

 

[van Nistelrooy]

1. Valencia
2. Jones
3. Rojo
4. Fellaini
5. Lingard
