That's actually a very good shout.
New video. Lots of attacking play to see rather than some of the other ones with tackles mainly.
Our all time XI RB position is there to be taken lad.
Our transfer window definitely rests on whether we can shift Pogba and Lukaku.
If we can 225 million for them both, I think we can restructure the squad without making like for like signings. I really want Pogba and Lukaku gone at this point seeing as they don’t want to be here.
Nice watch about his story in the CPFC youth and how he became a right back.
Thank God. I've spent every other video internally screaming "don't dive in" every 5 seconds. It's affected my nerves a bit by now
Yes, I think there’s a good possibility that this is the case.
Or perhaps he thinks both have room for development of their offensive game.
I'm inclined to say Shaw needs to be replaced medium term regardless of who is on the right, so Wan-Bissaka being more defensive isn't any particular issue for me. Not that im convinced he is (or that Shaw is better defensively than attacking). Seems a sensible signing anyway. Still has a lot to prove, shouldn't find it too hard to settle.

Love this signing.
21 years old who knows the premier league and has tons of potential. Of course we need to make sure we give him plenty of time and don't jump on his back and turn him into Zaha 2.0. However, if we can a top CB now we've improved our team no end.

That’s a cracker. No shame in stealing that. Reminds me of “all we need is Shinji Kagawa.”
In his videos he looks a very good dribbler and actually gets in to some dangerous areas. The issue is the video's always stop after the dribble. I think I've only seen a handful of final balls from him.
Is his crossing really that shit?
His defensive game looks as advertised but again it's just a few YouTube video's so it will be.

Who is tracking his social media. How many followers per minute please? I need it for my exam.
Wanker.
Mods, why even infract this shite?
246 posts? Bin, permanently. You're all going soft.
Excited for this. Good to get it done before players report in.
The Tier 1
Fantastic to see. Must be dream come true for the lad.A slightly surprised United supporting family:
Predictions on when he'll make the Caf's deadwood list? I'll give it around May 2020
October.
Right after an AA assist for Liverpool in a game we aren't even in.
I'd love an over and under on how many times his name and the words modern fullback are used in the same sentence.
Next summer at the latest.
If we dont have to see that bid shi* tasting Young at RB next season then I am stoked
How much? and for a full-back?
Should be a good signing. He's always impressed me when I've seen him and he's done well against City this season. I've seen a lot of comments expressing concern about his ability getting forward but surely, at his age, it's much more impressive that he is solid defensively rather than a threat when going forward. It's a lot harder to improve defensively, I'd argue, than it is to improve his ability getting up the field. A lot of that for a full-back is about mentality/intelligence and movement. Zabaleta at City was a prime example. Not exactly blessed with ability on the ball or a fantastic crosser but he was dangerous simply because he was very clever with when and how he made his runs in behind. With the right coaching Wan-Bissaka should become one of the best full-backs in Europe.

It only youtube I know, but he actually looks pretty decent but going forward in that video. Looks calm under pressure and very determined.
He looks brilliant dribbling and getting in the right positions. The issue I have is they cut off the next part (cross/pass/shot).
Zabaleta is a good comparioson, actually. Ivanovic, too. Not spectacular on paper, but they went through periods (seasons, infact) of looking really dangerous going forward. Particularly Zabaleta. Wan-Bissaka is certainly more athletic than they ever were, too.
Don't know if it's been mentioned but Stephen Howson said we got to keep our 25% Zaha sell on clause in the end. If rumours are to be believed, he could fetch 80m quid this window, that's 20m back to us if this happens. So effectively we could end up getting AWB for 30m ish in the end. Quality singing if this is the case, that's about how much we spend for every Sanchez goal at the min...
Do you prefer long staff?
Thanks for putting that image in my head
Which club is buying zaha for 80m?
The stats prove he is a good player in this league. You'll find shit players have shit stats. But that doesn't fit your rhetoric so you've said thats not to do with negotiations. It is you spoon because good players are expensive.
50m has been spent on a right back with the potential to be world class? So whats your point there? A 20 year old puts in those performances in his breakthrough season and you think thats as good as he’ll get? Despite moving to a better club?
Azpilicueta moved about a decade ago, markets Are not even comparable. Darmian was a cheap, foreign import alternative, like you suggest........
Darmian isn't good defensively he's easy to dribble past, slow to turn.
And AWB, He is good going forward, just plays in a poor team last season who spend most of the game pinned back.
Good signing. Terrible facial hair.
A good signing for a decent fee, it really fills a need.
Agreed.
Will be good to see him back on the right wing.
Solves that problem nicely
sucked in
That's not how it works though is it? We'd be getting that regardless of the AWB deal.
It basically means Palace wanted 70m but we signed him for 50m.
Decent fee?
What would have been too much? 70m? A million million?
Arsenal are linked, but they'll have to stretch their rumoured 50m pot!
And if Palace sell Zaha on top of AWB, they're only looking at a relegation battle.
All of twitter and half the caf were desperate for us to just give them whatever they wanted 2 weeks ago. They'd have easily given 70 million for him
