Medical was a Pisa piss.
Amrabat - Man United Player FINALLY - #4 confirmed
- Thread starter IrishRedDevil
- Start date
Very excited, not only to what he can bring individually but he'll balance the team and compliment the players around him. He will get other players playing their best and bring out ETH's style. Just huge
I agree on Malacia, I think for the fee paid and his age profile he is a great option to have and will hopefully improve further.
Anthony worries me, I haven't seen much from him that makes me think there is a significant improvement coming, hope to be proven wrong but deserves a second season before too much judgement is made.
The signing we have made that I question the most is Mount, again, will give that time to settle and him a chance to prove himself. However, beyond his ability I just don't see where he fits in to the starting 11 when playing anyone of note.
Amrabat will bring a much better balance to our midfield, we’ll see that pretty quickly and he’ll nail down a starting spot while Mount is injured. Mount will still get plenty of game time this season but we’re currently getting sliced open at will with the current midfield setup and ETH won’t persist with that just because we spent a lot of money on it.
Interesting watch.
strengths are definetly his tackling and passing especially in the first phase of play. Just dont expect much of him going forwards into the thirs phase. Will make us a better pressing team and is a good tactical signing.

If he’s in better form than Mount then yeah, he’s starting
Antony is a good case study of where that's not necessarily the case.
It’s not about how much players cost… it’s about form. City have over 200m on their bench sometimes.
Yeah we have loads of great RW’s on the bench. good point.
Having a year left on a player's contract doesn't mean as much as it used to. The out of contract players that are signed for 'free' usually get a ridiculous sign on fee. In any case he effectively had two years left, as other have pointed out.
There are plenty of things to criticise the club for, but this transfer isn't one of them. The only criticism I have is that it was done slightly too late, but that's understandable seeing as we needed to wait until Henderson was sold and also see how much money we had left over after getting in an emergency left back.
I wonder if ETH will throw Amrabat straight in on Sunday - it would be a bit of baptism of fire but if he does well it will be a huge boost for his - and the team's – confidence. My guess is he and Rasmus will be on the bench
He wasn't registered to play on Sunday I thought
He wouldn't have been registered in time surely?
He is registered on time and ahead of time.
Apparently he was very lean.
Shit ton.
Do you know how many players have left the squad in last 18 months? Something like 15 to 20.
At the beginning of last summer, we had 2 CM (McFred, DVB doesn't count), 3 attackers (Martial, Rashford, Sancho for striker/wide forward positions, Martial barely counts). Now both goalkeepers left.
Now tell me how many signings do we/ETH need?
I think he is for a Sunday game
Thought someone said they had to be registered by 12 noon yesterday to be eligible for this weekends games?
Has to be done by Friday lunchtime, so I very much doubt it.
To play on Sunday the player has to be registered by noon on Friday.
Hargreaves left for Florence few hours after noon. He was a Fiorentina player at the time. He won't be available.

I thought he signed at 11am
I though the deal was done by 11am - papers seemed to have it at that time
Documents were signed in the evening, so they wouldn't have been able to register him noon (9-10 hrs prior), can't be done surely
Reguilón was registered
This. Thank You!
Interesting video. He looks terrible at heading, doesn't even try to jump in many cases. Also, his long passes seem to hang in the air for way too long.
On the other hand, he looks very good at tackling, he seems to be pretty good at making himself available for passes and resisting the press and his short passing looks good.
At first glance, he looks to me like he could be a good situational player but not likely to become a fixture in the first 11.
A player has to be registered by 12:00 the working day before the match. He was registered before 12:00 today but today is not a working day. He is not eligible for the Arsenal game.
So you're saying Amrabat will be at Salah or De Bruyne levels? Got it.
Yes, this is exactly what I said, weirdo

Mount out wide would be interesting, did he do it often for Chelsea?
He played on the left when they won the CL.
So you're saying you shit yourself and wet the bed?
Antony presses from front really good, think mostly that's why he is playing despite other parameters being shit.
He's a spitting image of the bloke I used to buy weed from in South London.
Of course. If Antony continues being… Antony, I don’t see why Mount or Fernandes won’t end up taking his spot on the right more and more often.
That’s fully inaccurate. Where the feck did you get that idea? Read the thread and you’ll see there were plenty who think he’s not good enough based on “stats” and the erroneous idea that no-one else wanted him. It’s quite likely the same people who have reservations now.Funny, 1 week ago, 99.9% of people here were crying for Amrabat. Today, many of them are not happy with him
Not necessarily Antony. He does a lot of good work staying wide, pressing, and because he cuts in so much it allows AWB to overlap or underlap because of his invert position.
This gives EtH and staff even more flexibility and there's adequate depth. McTominay can come on and focus on a few things and keeping it simple.
Forget the stats, some hopes is he fulfils his destiny and joins the category of useless signing, so they can moan every game.
