Adnan's latest activity

  • Adnan replied to the thread U21s: United vs Brighton.
    Playing 3 at the back isn't a system of play but rather a formation. So whether you play 3 at the back or 2 at the back, the system doesn't have to change. Because the system is a set of principles and a formation is something which aids the...
  • I used to watch the French equivalent of the FA youth Cup. I don't think I could do that anymore, and I'm trying to limit my time talking about football on forums etc.
  • Agree with this, hopefully he can now find some stability and stay clear of any injuries, especially long-term ones. And it does seem like he's still rated very highly within the club who observe him on a regular basis with the quote below from...
  • I'm not a professional scout mate. I watched quite a few of Sochaux's youth games at youth level in full on YouTube. I actually shared the link of one of those games in full in the players thread at the time of signing the player.
  • Adnan replied to the thread Radek Vítek.
    Another good performance in his latest outing for Accrington. Loan seems to be going superbly well.
  • Agreed. And I was of the opinion that ten Hag wouldn't select him this season based on the games he's missed in the last few years which has dented his own personal development as a CB/RB imo. But he was very highly rated when we bought him...
  • That tackle wasn't anything to do with being tired but rather it was daft from Wan Bissaka. You have to stay on your feet in that situation with numerous players defending the box and you cannot go to ground. I would somewhat understand if a...
  • Then got injured again and the 18 months turned into two seasons of missed development. I'm actually quite surprised he's featured in the first team at all considering the amount of games he's missed in the last two years. But if ten Hag feels...
  • Adnan replied to the thread Ethan Wheatley.
    I agree. He's someone that could surprise people in the coming years due to his physical and athletic characteristics. I think he's a very interesting young centre forward and it'll be interesting to see how he develops in the coming seasons...
  • At this stage my support for ten Hag is absolutely unwavering. And I've given my reasons as to why that is the case. I feel the next transfer window has the potential to really propel us towards the top teams and I feel a lot of the criticism...
  • The players EtH and the scouting team wanted were of that profile hence we made attempts to sign them. Players like Onana, Todibo and Fofana were sought, before we settled for Amrabat on the last day of the transfer window. This was reported by...
  • I have to disagree with you here and say that Mainoo is absolutely a pass and move midfielder. One of the poster's mentioned him being a roaming playmaker in midfield which I agree with. Scholes at the same age wasn't as good as Mainoo is right...
  • Agreed. I hope those reports about Ratcliffe having direct influence on team building are made up because he or Brailsford aren't people who should be doing that. Ashworth is hopefully coming in soon and along with a prospective new chief scout...
  • I think Southgate's going to have him as a starter in the Euros.
