At 21 I expect him to be fine and only one major injury so far. The rest have been short lived.
But he’s just too expensive atm I don’t think we can afford him unless we only go for Sancho and him this summer
Get Benoit this summer and Dayot next summer. Total outlay for the both of them will be 30m + 42m = 72m.
100% this.
That will be a very successful summer in my eyes.
If only the club thought in the same way as us fans
Sh. Don't spoil the 'knowledge' of fans who know better than the club.
Club have been interested in him for years, so joke’s on you.
Odd statement. The club is supposedly interested in signing him
Too soon to write Tuanzebe off IMO. Some players grow into their bodies and have injury issues which clear up. He’s still young and worth persevering with for a little while.
Supposedly. You could put most any player in the top leagues to that list. We've never even enquired about buying the player. It's telling if a team has been 'interested' for years. Could have bought him for cheap X amount of years ago like we do lots of youngsters.
Not according to one of the top french journalists who has said we are in contact with Monaco
Why is Lindelof suddenly 5th choice?
That is probably pretty telling itself is it not?
Bailly is a far better defender than Lindelof in my eyes, but you are right about Tuanzebe, potentially could be very good, but has to prove it in the Prem. I still don't get why we are supposedly after a CB, when we have Maguire, Bailly, Lindelof, Tuanzebe, Mengi and TFM, who is naturally a CB, plus Smalling, Jones and Rojo, two of whom I expect to be sold this window. Could be a case of agents once again using United to get their client a good move.Why is Lindelof suddenly 5th choice?
Bailly & Tuanzebe have done nothing to suggest they should overtake him.
Just watched the highlights of Monaco vs Reims. I agree perfectly with you - very well taken goal but lot of rough edges.
I only watched the last 20 minutes. I saw him being caught ball watching too, Reims could & should have scored two goals in the last 20 mins. I think staying at AS Monaco another year is a good idea, I just don't see why we need to sign this 19 years old CB this year since we already have Mengi & Tuanzebe.
X player is of interest to United, Barca, Madrid.
You're generalising instead of looking at the journo/reporter and the link.
Because he is head and shoulders better than them both. Especially Tuanzebe simply doesn't even have the physique, dynamism and passing range to be compared to Badiashile.
Badiashile is a huge prospect but when Tuanzebe was in the first team at Villa he was a better player. Badiashile has all the attributes but still young and mistake prone. Monaco is a mess, rumors have him looking at Leverkusen which would be a good move, would be 3rd choice and still able to get a ton of playing time in a better team.
How to you compare mate? Tuanzebe was good because Mings was outstanding next to him.
It is hard to compare between leagues, partners and team shapes. Tuanzebe was able to bring the ball out with Mings next to him Lehigh made him look better. When I see Badiashile I see him being athletic enough to make up for being in a poor position. Again, he has all the attributes and is younger than Tuanzebe but when I saw Tuanzebe playing he seemed more composed and able to read the game better.
Even if he is, what is the point of signing a young centre back when we already have two. We already have huge numbers still selling the likes of Smalling/Rojo/jOnes. Adding another player that on todays evidence at least is going to take time to be a regular first team starter doesnt solve our problems. We need to sign somebody who can come straight in and improve our defence. I am no fan of Lindelof at all and I think Badisahile can possibly develop in to a top defender, he isnt ready yet though. I dont think there would be all these mentions of the likes of him, Gabriel etc if it wasnt for our possible lack of funds with SAncho being the priority
I am just feeling very down about the lack of signings at the moment. Also wishing we had US owners who actually gave a shit about what happens on the pitch rather than just off it
Yeah it's the biggest signing we need to make but unfortunately Woody & Judge can't keep their egos in check to ever make it a reality
Nor do I,
Because only 2 of them can be trusted to stay fit for a season right now. Mengi is unproven. Maybe he’ll be a very good centre back, maybe he’ll be in league 2 in three years, we just don’t know yet.
