Nani and Valencia the last two?It's worse. Cause at least then we actually had CMs at the club. We just wanted to buy better ones. We haven't had a RW forever.

Only means SanchONInvisible again today. I don't know what people see in him. It's like he wasn't even there.
Yeah my thoughts exactlyWe should seriously consider starting him next game, can’t be any worse than what we’re producing currently of the right, surely?
Do you mean Will Keane? Michael Keane is the centre back (now at Everton)No young player is ready until they're ready and quite often they're ready before we anticipate.
But for a series of injuries and the youth backup Michael Keane being injured, Rashford wouldn't have seen first team football (at least) until next season. Until a player hits the first team you can never know for sure. Rashford got the ball and he ran with it. Again, Rashford wasn't "ready" until he was ready.....and it was sooner than anyone here would have recommended if this was happening now.
If Diallo is ready, he's ready. Get him the minutes and lets see if he hits the ground running.
I did. Sorry, I was a little too Keane.Do you mean Will Keane? Michael Keane is the centre back (now at Everton)
It's what I've always felt too.Though we can't afford to take relegation candidates lightly. Get a couple of goals ahead and close it out, then bring him onI’d say it’ll be Sheffield Utd for his first cameo off the bench. I can see the Liverpool game being another very tight one and to be totally fair Ole has been playing it very safe
thats it. I don’t think you want to be having a debut chasing the game against the current champions... but maybe the script is writing itself for another cracking debut against the pool. If he could come in and do a martial (for the second half of the season) then we are looking pretty goodIt's what I've always felt too.Though we can't afford to take relegation candidates lightly.

I've always remembered Nani as more natural and effective on the left than on the right, and we only kept Valencia there for a year or so before turning him into a fullback. It's ridiculous how much we've neglected what is such a famous shirt and position at the club.Nani and Valencia the last two?
I get the feeling that it's short term plan for the second half of this season and we may see him starting a few next.thats it.

That’s probably what I would do as well, but even if it’s a tight one in the 75th one can also see Ole rolling the dice with a player Liverpool (nor any of us, actually) has ever seen before and have no idea what he’s about. If we end up losing, so be it and we move on without too much of a moan (FA Cup, after all) but if Diallo makes an impact and we beat Liverpool, oh my.I’d say it’ll be Sheffield Utd for his first cameo off the bench.

If your translation is correct, then it's good to know.Not to be a buzzkill, but the quoted translation is more positive than it should be. I can't quote the original post as I'm not allowed to post media.
The original wording for "must have been" is closer to 'reported to have been' (or 'I've heard'), and "It will be no surprise" is the authors personal opinion, not a general point of view or something coming from the coaching staff. It might as well say '(I) would not be surprised'.
No, no, no, Valencia played 3 or four seasons on the wing before permanently switching to a fullback.I've always remembered Nani as more natural and effective on the left than on the right, and we only kept Valencia there for a year or so before turning him into a fullback. It's ridiculous how much we've neglected what is such a famous shirt and position at the club.
To be fair oles words on him alone were very positive. He usually talks things down but pretty much said “sooner than you think” which shows he thinks he’s close. Add that to the fact he’s replaced lingard in the registered squad too! I think he’ll be getting minutes against Sheffield.Not to be a buzzkill, but the quoted translation is more positive than it should be.

You got it the other way round, Nani was much better on the right and had his best performances on that side. I feel like we figured that out too late.I've always remembered Nani as more natural and effective on the left than on the right, and we only kept Valencia there for a year or so before turning him into a fullback.

We never actually signed Ljajić though. We had agreed deals for him and Tosic at the same time but for whatever reason we pulled out of the Ljajić deal and only completed the Tosic one.I'd say the Pellistri signing is similar to us signing Adem Ljalic who never played for us and instead had a decent career elsewhere.
Twisting up the hardest man in the league, big Andy R.Oh come on... Just release Diallo against Liverpool. They wouldn't know what hit them...
No I think he means Roy Keane, the hard working, die for the badge CM who is currently working over at Sky.Do you mean Will Keane? Michael Keane is the centre back (now at Everton)
Cant see him getting on tomorrow. Not wise in my opinion either for 2 reasons. If he came on he’d be targeted physically and would be a real knock to his confidence if he failed to live up to hype. Include in squad and give him a taste of a big game from bench.We never actually signed Ljajić though.

Can you PM me the winning lottery numbers for next Tuesday while you're about it....cheersDiallo is going to score against Liverpool tomorrow.
Depends on what the coaches have seen in training TBFCant see him getting on tomorrow. Not wise in my opinion either for 2 reasons.

I don't play the lottery Inigo but you are more than welcome to put a pound on diallo to score.Can you PM me the winning lottery numbers for next Tuesday while you're about it....cheers
Nani could play well on either side but I think was better on the right and surprisingly was very good cutting in from the right and shooting with his left whilst his crossing was better from the right.I've always remembered Nani as more natural and effective on the left than on the right, and we only kept Valencia there for a year or so before turning him into a fullback.

hed definitely be worth a punt at bigger odds. the news he’s taking lingards spot is probably the biggest indication (since the fee and the quality he’s already shown in his short career) that he’ll be getting some proper minutes this season. Going solely on clips and his CL cameo I think this guy looks genuinely special and I can’t wait to see him develop. Don’t be surprised to see him burst on the scene and then have a Greenwood type second season. Having these 2 lads approaching their peak years together is real Rooney and Ronaldo stuff. You can really see the Fergie style recruitment that served us so well returning. Hopefully we are backing the right players!Diallo is going to score against Liverpool tomorrow.
The profile of both players is similar when they were signed or almost signed in the young Serbian players case. Which is the point I was making..We never actually signed Ljajić though. We had agreed deals for him and Tosic at the same time but for whatever reason we pulled out of the Ljajić deal and only completed the Tosic one.
