Yeah actually I didn't notice the headline. He doesn't actually say that.
Ambidexterity is something that tends to be overblown when it comes to footballers. Almost every footballer in the world has a foot they prefer for different actions. There are only a handful of footballers who are genuinely two-footed. Even Greenwood that is regarded as two-footed around here and shoots very well with his right foot, carries the ball mostly with his left foot, and passes mostly with his left foot.
If there are a handful of midfielders in the Premier League that uses their weaker foot more often and better than most, then Fred is one of them. You don't expect him to be raking sixty yarders consistently with his weaker foot, do you? It is called the weaker foot for a reason, but he uses his better than most.
If anything one of Fred’s issues is he thinks that right foot is a wandIm fairly sure I saw a lad one day attempting to lay into fred and he started off by saying he’s painfully one footed
He’s been watching too many Carrick videos thinking he can spray it side to side on either foot.Romano is too nice a guy to come out with, “ in other news, Arsenal are still shit!”
Must have been aiming for the corner flag. He wasn’t blessed with goal scoring or even shooting that lad
All this talk about a player preferring one foot more over the other makes sense. They should be 50/50 between both feet. This is why Robben never made it.
Would have been a class player if he had the ability to go outside on his right. No chance he could be effective cutting inside every single time, it's too predictable.
There is no chance Rennes can afford to let a player run his contract down, they have to get rid this summer unless the player is content to sit there and run his contract down.
I am convinced he is definitely the right player for us.
A one footed winger vs a one footed midfielder is a different proposition. I’m not saying you should be 50/50, but if you watch him he’s not even 80/20. It’s why he supremely favours linking up with the right side of the pitch. It’s not like it will stop him from being a great player, but it’s still a criticism. But, again I’m only surmising this from his highlights, there will be times where if he had a decent right foot he could have made a pass, but instead he had to dribble through a player to get space and then pass it. Yes he has the ability to dribble past that player more often than not, but you’re also more likely to fail a dribble than a more simple pass.
It’s not just the passing, watch any of these videos and it’s him controlling the ball, him making tackles. McTominay will always favour passing with his right, but he does more actions with his weaker foot. I’m not saying Camavinga won’t be great, but it’s just something I’ve noticed hence it being my ‘only’ gripe (well that and his passing range not being as expansive as you’d hope).
All this left and right foot talk reminds of the topic ‘Is a left footer a better penalty taker?’ many many years ago on the Caf. Was quite hilarious to read
not extending contract:
= Rennes will not let Camavinga go for free
= will be sold this summer (no sense for Jan. move)
= United/Madrid/PSG interested
= former club (United) clear front runners that in all reports is the only one willing to pay upfront now to secure his services rather than waiting to battle it out on a free
...Madrid in ruins financially, PSG have already splashed big money this summer and would rather wait once his contract runs out and he’s a free agent than pay.
this is United’s signing to lose - only something very unexpected will stop it from happening.
Do you know who the owner of Rennes is?
A year ago, i would have given us a 5% chance of signing him. Announce him already, can't wait.
Yes. The former is the best outcome bar none because the latter is what will happen when we try to replace him.
It's not about liking or not liking a player... we need good players. We need to add to and retain our best players.
Is it a realiable source?
Not happening then
Not loving that Athletic spin on it. Laurie is very reliable.
I doubt they let him leave for free
Barca won't sign anybody until they sort out their wages, that will take a while. Real won't even sign this guy as they don't have money and needed to save money for Mbappe and that's why we should go for Camavinga first before Varane. And Bayern said they are not in rush.
He's pretty much ours then. We got this! Chooo Chooo
Can only see him going to Bayern. They see potential and swoop up all talents like this while others twiddle their thumbs.
In fact, I would say we won't sign any French players despite all the links to them.

I guess i’m the only one who is confident that we’ll sign him
Of course they have a foot they prefer that's not in doubt but what surprises me is that more footballers aren't coached to use both feet. Its a coachable skill and an excellent weapon to have as a footballer.
I would expect there to be some drop-off but not a huge difference between left and right foot for a CM or CB. However, for most professional footballers there is and its a strange one in my opinion
Hey
Impatiently waiting for Camavinga to United transfer tweets
Club may not have a choice.
Bayern and PSG concern me.
Rennes would have no incentive to play him in the first team in such a scenario, which would be very bad for the player's development. I think he'll leave and the best source of information on a potential move concerning Camavinga will come from France.

If this lad is as good as the hype suggest every major club in Europe should be in for him, no matter if they truly need him or not. I have never watched him play but going off what some people in the media have said about him he's a potential world class player. So for 30-35m Euros it's an absolute no brainer.
I'd be hugely surprised if City, Chelsea and Liverpool weren't all in for him too as well as the likes of PSG, Bayern, us and a few others.
We never seem to get players when there is a lot of interest so I'd give us less than 10% chance of doing this deal.

That'll be that then
I still want to believe
I wonder who our alternatives are, if this go tits up.
If it falls through, allow Mejbri play.
If Pogba goes that will free up more funds and I think our first port of call with be Rice. Outside of that we may test Leicester for Ndidi, but would be more likely getting Bissouma out of Brighton. We could put in a cheeky bid for Locatelli, but he seems to have his heart set on Juve. There are also a couple other options from the French league who aren't on Camavinga's level as a prospect, but could warrant some consideration.
