What is it that you're actually looking for him to say? If you've watched his press conference it's clear he already has a good idea of what he wants to do here and that comment about pre-season is largely immaterial.
I think that's quite self explanatory isn't it?
It's not self-explanatory because I don't see what's so wrong with those comments.
I find this talk about kids as funny. First of all we have developed just 1 WC player since the class of 92. That WC player had to move to Juventus to become a top player. Secondly the class of 92 were older when they broke into scene, they were surrounded with top players like Schmeichel, Irwin, Keane and Irwin and on top of that they were managed by SAF not some rookie who got his arse spanked at Cardiff.
Why the sarcasm? Do you like what you see in our attack, chief?
Don't we have scouts? Even posters in here can come up with good names.
He’s like a worse Willian.
I agreed about the need for LW.
Still better than we have now then?
Nah. I just felt like a bit of sarcasm this morning
fair do's. Paycheck is 9 days away..They both are not "good options".
I really like this idea. I thought asking 2, was a bit too much for some. Never thought about 3 though.
Genuine flank players is probably the most really important aspect of what we need to improve for next season.
Taking Sanchez out of the equation.. because he's turd.. we have Martial for the left. Mata and Lingard both play more centrally for us and have never been wingers or right forwards for us, so we do only have 1 winger in martial. Sanchez needs to go imo so we literally need 2 wingers. A right winger is a must (Sancho please) and I think another who can play either side (Lozano would be my choice) for extra depth. That would leave us with these players (6 players) for the 3 positions:
Excellent crack on after every year in last 4 years. We are done with the Hope, we need performances now
Reckon the combination of Sancho and Chiesa would be good for implementing the style you want, mate — one in the summer and one in 2020 — something along those lines should be doable, and will hold us in good stead over the long haul. Sancho is more decisive and gifted obviously, and needs no introduction on Redcafe because practically everyone wants us to sign him, and for good reason, but Chiesa also has a great skill set and could emerge as one of the best wingers of this generation, and is showing considerable potential at Fiorentina with 16 direct goal involvement in 2018/19. Plus, he's quite industrious and tactically astute for his age (which signals that he could be molded along the lines of Ribéry), and despite being wingers in generalized way, both Sancho and Chiesa are different enough to bring an eclectic mix of features to the team — on top of being comfortable on either flank and having the ability to switch the ball diagonally/horizontally (which was a key feature of Bayern when they head Robben and Ribéry at their peak).
Only Sancho is impressive out of the list. The likes of Pepe, Lozano and Neres are just not good enough for us.
Not like they are any worse than what we have though, mediocre wingers would be a step up from our lot.
Dang, mate. Just reading your post makes me boiled with excitement. If this is doable, to hell with other needs (well, except for rightback). We need to get these wingers on board ASAP. I personally think that (short-lived) Bayern under Heynckes was the most exciting team of that decade. Like you said, it was well drilled and combined with flair up top.
There is only arguably Rashford good enough on that list anyways, and him at LW is a complete waste.
To be honest, even though I admired that Bayern team a great deal, I'm a bit wary of implementing a similar-ish style at United because I just don't know how (or from where) we are going to procure/develop the most important piece of the puzzle. When you have two wingers in the team, you have to go with either a 4-2-3-1 or a 4-4-2 to make up for the lack of direct goals from the wide players (in comparison with wide/inside forwards whose game is predicated on goalscoring). The issue then is that while there are some decent forwards in the mercato to occupy central attacking positions, you need an extremely dominant or complete central midfielder to dictate the game from the center of the park and act as the focal point of the team.
Thing is, Liverpool play with a left footed attacker/right footed attacker and one through the middle.
Memphis is a central or wide forward, not a winger.
I would have Ounas as our left footed attacker, Felix as our false 9 striker and Chiesa on the left side.Thing is, Liverpool play with a left footed attacker/right footed attacker and one through the middle.
City play with: a left footed attacker/right footed attacker and one through the middle.
Common denominator, they're all fast,good on the ball,interchange if needed and also track back.
Do we have anyone who fits that right now?
Only Rashford but he needs to be in the middle. No good attacking leftie, a CF who can't trap a cow with a net and a talented player who can't be arsed to track back. I haven't even mentioned Alexis yet!
JPRouve has sung Ounas' praises for a while now. I don't think we'll get Felix unless it's crazy money.Sancho, same but I would like him.
I did not, I did the opposite.
