I have 100 different football channels so not hard to catch any premier league game.
ake wouldn't be far off being a better choice, cheaper just as a good, couple years on him and can also play full back..
Seems like we've learned nothing from the VG window. Rather than buying mediocre the club should get some high rated younglings like the Sampadoria lad. Maguire is a decent CB tbf but feck me the price is beyond mental.
The alternatives that have been mentioned in the press are all pretty shit as heading the ball for what its worth. Their strengths all come from their ball playing skills which is better than Maguires.
If we improve our team play and basics, we don't really need a CB who is very dominant in the air. IIRC Laporte wins 59% and Kompany is also around 60% but their defensive positioning to pick up loose balls is fantastic.
I didn’t mention slow because it’s pretty obvious he’s not the quickest? If you said ‘I’ve Watched him many times and he is slow’ I’d of agreed with what you said, but you said he’s poor technically and cannot pass the ball forward. Which is bollox.
You're absolutely right but since when has that been a pre requisite on here?
Agreed, infuriating, they see that he’s English, 6’4 and assume he’s Titus Bramble ffs
100%.
Ambition may be the wrong word , ideas or desperation is probably better.
They also play high line, which is yet to see if we are going to also do. If we play deeper we would need a dominant in the air defender.
Same here. He's brilliant at playing out from the back.
The quality of current CBs at United is shocking, there are no of CBs in every league who'd be an improvement upon them, that doesn't mean we should sign them.
So you're saying we should sign a CB that isn't better than what we currently have..
You need to brush up your comprehension skills, I'm saying there are lot many CBs in every league who'd improve us because the current benchmark of CBs at United is pretty rubbish. Just because they're an improvement over the current shower that doesn't mean they are a) of the required quality b) worth the quoted money.
£8M Andrew Robertson says hi
That doesn't explain the defensive brainfarts.
I very much doubt it. Both are comfortable with the ball but painfully slow. Maguire is better in air which is a good thing and something Lindelof lack but you don't spend 80m to end up with a central defence which can't counter pacey players. Not to forget that neither players are leaders.
What?
The defensive brain farts witnessed against Holland and Croatia.
Yeah it was Maguire's leadership that made Walker and Stones to switch off against Craotia.
A true leader would make sure to anticipate any mistakes made and keep the defence in line. I assume you don't remember Rio Ferdinand playing alongside the like of Mickey Silvestre and constantly off form Wes Brown (due to injury) don't you?. Our defence improved drastically when Rio was in it and it nosedived the moment he got suspended. That's what a true leader and WC player can do in a meah defence. Not that I am suggesting that England's current defence is filled with hyped 70m rated defenders who aren't anywhere near to WC.
We're going in circles here are we? Just because you have a natural leader at the back that doesn't mean you won't lose games. There's a difference between losing a game and the defence ending into some sort of a parody. Regarding Vidic, well prime Torres was a force to reckon with. He was like playing against RVN or Henry. Neither current Holland nor Croatia have strikers of that level.
I remember Rio very well and I also remember us losing many games too. Wonder why Rio couldn't stop Vidic's brainfarts vs Liverpool.
Keep digging man.
We're not in for him, if you believe the press its between barca and psg
We'd instantly have the best back four in the Premiership if we got:
De Ligt Maguire Wan-Bissaka and Shaw
Who did you suggest we go for? We need a dominant defender to partner Lindelof. Eventhough I like Ferro because of his terrific passing skills and vision, I don't think he's this kind of dominant defender. He looks like a good tackler and also quite good in the air but there's something missing. He's not really aggressive. (I think Dias, his partner looks more like one but I don't fancy him because of other things).
He certainly doesn't look awkward or cumbersome when he's running with the ball. I get what you are saying, he looks like he should be with his physique. He's had a tough hard season after a very good world cup. He's had a couple of shaky games in a row. I'm not sure about him myself, but fair dues to him, on the ball he's very good.
But the best player there would be De Ligt and it seems fairly obvious we're not getting him. In all honest I'm still not convinced the back for you listed is as good as Liverpool's anyway.
Nah man for man Liverpool's is better
Howson was correct. He had Stone on his channel recently.Tweet
