Did I say a player like Mount has to settle? Sancho has been here a full season already. My post was a general reply to your general statement that good players don't need to settle. Adapting to the physicality is part of it.

I'm not saying you did mate, I'm asking the people who say the players need time to adjust. Yeah, bad players do need time to adjust, good players just slot in. If they've come from a foreign league there can be an adaptation phase but they still look good in spells, not consistently shite.
Yes. Thanks.this really appropriate?
Nice attempt to quote a week's old post and blame it on the poster. I may have said something bad about Casemiro one year back. Why don't you try that too ?
Id say we would have lost that game by 3 goals with De Gea so it's an improvement
Why are we still talking about DDG. Can we not just talk about the player, in the player's thread?
In the pre-contract signing Rashford thread I said that at some point we'll have to choose between one or the other, I was shouted down, but I still maintain that at some point in the not too distant future we're going to have to choose, Rashford is not a CF and unless Garnacho switches to the tight we cannot accommodate both
I think that is the least of our problems, if one or both are too good to not be anything other than a nailed on starter, then we are doing well, but I don't think that is the case right now.
Not the right thread for that debate though.
Come on mate you're over 40 and still idolizing a washed up keeper. Onana's better than De Gea, it was great business bringing him in and letting De Gea go.
Agree. Unless it's a very young player or someone coming from a very obscure league, signings generally show quality early on even if they aren't putting on 10/10 displays.
The whole "give them time" thing is used far too often for players that simply aren't good enough.
People attribute it to every player we sign because Evra and Vidic once took 6 months to bed in. What no one mentions is that they were signed in January with no integration plan other than ‘turn up and give it a go’. All our previous signings would get a preseason and time to adapt over the summer.
Why are you banging on about de gea in onana's thread? If anyone seems obsessed about him, it's you pal.
One of our better players yesterday. I liked De Gea, and he should have had more of a fanfare for leaving, but I definitely think Onana is a better keeper.
Onana dribbles a spurs player, goes a bit forward and makes a long pass to the left wing far up the pitch. That was united’s highlight of the game. It shows how bad we were but it also shows how good Onana is on the ball
What the feck is wrong with you. Either you are misinformed or you are referring to someone else. Jeez - just read the posts ffs.
Pause
That second goal he should have made his body bigger, it’s so close if he dives either way he could have stopped it.

Seriously the latest Marvel superhero would have had trouble stopping that
He's absolutely wasted in our team right now considering only Martinez is on his wavelength at playing out from the back. Honestly we might as well have kept De Gea for one more season and spent the Onana money on Amrabat, we'd be slightly better off right now IMO.
Not at all man, it’s about the angle and closing it down. You close down that player
That really was a poor choice of ball by Garnacho there. No wonder Rashford was pissed off.
Was always a matter of time of course, but good news for Andre

Another kick in the teeth for us.
Just our luck, going to be tough in January without him.
It was always going to happen though, I’m sure we factored this in.
Do you foresee an injury?
No he looks like he's now going to be part of the Cameroon squad again. African Cup is in January.
Makes it more imperative for us to get a capable deputy (which we needed anyway).
Dammit, that's not going to help.
Cameroon isn't qualified yet. They have their final qualifier game on the 12th of Sept that they must win in order to get in.
I was wrong. It’s this year.
def sucks and is very annoying. Hopefully they lose the game on the 12th and this isnt an issue for us. Considering our shit backup options would be less than ideal.
That would be a nice birthday present for me if they lost.
Come on Burundi!!
ffs
