It's what Rangnick does Brilliantly. He spots talent and turns them into top players.
Amadou Haidara
- Thread starter #07
- Start date
Bruno was a star player. He was top of goals and assists in Portugal for multiple seasons 
The only question is, how well does being the best player by a mile in Portugal translate to your level in the premier league. Turns out really well
For example Pote scored more goals than Bruno did in a league season for Sporting last year, at 23. Does that mean he'll do just as well as Bruno in the premier league? No. But chances are he's no worse than europa league team level

I think Konrad Laimer is a better player and fit for United. He’s like a big upgrade on Scott, with more speed, intensity, pressing, positional awareness, passing accuracy and progressive play. Would be a cheap buy aswell. Wonder why he rarely gets mentioned. Any thought?
Maybe because he had a nasty injury last season - he had an ankle fracture that made him absent from 42 games
Laughably false
I'm sold. Hail, Haidara.
Is this dude injured? Tuned in expecting to see him vs City. Had my scouting glasses on and everything.
Yes, he is injured.
Adama is a tactical player. You have to plan for him which is why he has a media buzz.
I’ve never watched the guy play, but I see that his average tackles per game is about 1.3 Isn’t that low for what we hope to be a number 6 type player? I think Freds is about 2.3 tackles per game.
Yeah whatever. You don’t know ball. It’s cool.
I’ve never been more certain that you are a parody account.
You haven’t got a scooby and then drop that line
I guess he could become a more pressing player. He certainly looks like a player who could thrive in a physical league and his passing is better than McT. He’d be a good rotation for Fred too. It seems like a decent transfer for not a lot of cash IF we are interested at all. He seems to be heavily going back to his RB contacts so I would totally discount it
Was excellent against City including a nice assist with the outside of his foot for the pass. Better numbers for pressing and ball winning than Fred too
I was playing about for my own amusmentI’ve never been more certain that you are a parody account.

But I do mean what I say about Haidara not being the type of player we should be after. We don’t need to bargain shop leave that to Dortmund.
Never watched him but he obviously suits the profile of player we want in that pivot role.
Had 18 passes, with a pass percentage of 77.8%. Not too familiar with Laimer, but imagine people wouldn't be happy with those statistics if that was McTominay, regardless of whether it's against City or not.
That being said, I'm not going let those stats mud the waters. From what you said, it sounds like he had a decent game.
Honestly as a full-on United-Fan I'd be skeptical about this signing. For Rangnick himself he'll probably be solid to good on the "wing" and the 6 but the best case should be securing Top 4 with Rangnick and then getting Ten Hag at least imo and I find him hard to imagine in the Ten Hag 4-3-3. For the 8 he's not dynamic and creative enough and on the wings he doesn't have the pace or dribbling skills at all so that could be kinda dubious. He fell down the order with Nagelsmann for the same reasons and had to play some for him pretty weird Inverted Wingback role even on the left sometimes.
Post of the thread
Haidara is no DM. Rose used him in Salzburg as the right sided 8 in a 442 diamond, wich fitted him.
What we need is a more of a CDM, or a very mobile 6, an upgrade on McT.
As RR is looking at (former) RB players, Laimer would be a good signing, or Mo Camara from Salzburg.
Laimer is a bulldog, fighting ans hunting all over the pitch. Had a great assist for the first RBL yesterday.
Camara would be perfect, if he physically fits into the PL. Salzburg will play Sevilla today, if they fail to secure a spot in the CL or EL, it should be possible to sign him.
Seiwald would be the cheap gamble. He is 20, played massive for Salzburg this season. He played as a 6 or a 8 this season.

Same.
It amazes me how many people now saying get him. Didn't see his name mentioned once in the who we need in midfield thread which has been going on for ages. Not until he was linked anyway.
Why cant we just get Tielemans and Rice or the lad that plays 6 for Ajax.
Because we’d get absolutely shagged by Leicester and West Ham.
Maybe this guy suits RR’s philosophy more?
Maybe it’s a load of tosh and we aren’t even interested in Haidara?
If Ralf says he's good then that's good enough for me, I admit never heard of him or seen him play but if that's who he wants then fine by me.
Plus if the cost of him id £33M then that would be a good price, much better than what we would get quoted for Rice and Tielemans.

High energy all action sounds exactly like they type of player Ralf would want in his midfield. If he brought him in would it be Fred and Haidara just Going at teams 100mph full throttle, or would they be heavily rotated and McT stays in playing more reserved.
Tchouameni is the one.
For Rice we would but Tielemans will have one year left on his contract in the summer.
Looks like a decent prospect but we should be going all out for Tielemans.
Agreed there. He'd be a great signing, and at good value.
Monaco will want at least 45m pounds if not 50m
But on paper he's a much more questionable signing than Rice so it wouldn't be surprising if he's much cheaper.
Sometimes you have to pay a lot to get what you need and it's better than compromising. Midfield may be one such case for us.
So many performances where the attack goes right through him like a piece of cake.
This is what I've always found weird - why hasn't anyone gone after Laimer?
Oliver Mintzlaff basically confirmed the transfer a few minutes ago in a fan meeting.
Any link to this?
Who's he ? And what meeting ?
Seiwald is a total FM 22 legend.
He's Leipzig CEO and currently the main man for the transfer decisions as well as there is no director of football. It was like a press conference but for fans and when asked about Haidara he basically said that when a certain amount is paid they can't do anything and it can happen this winter. So what was reported already basically. They put the video on youtube on private so I can't link it.
Is it 33 million pounds ?
Then Pay it. He is the new Kante.
