glad to see him back. Completely different than the greenwood situation.
Might have to get myself checked for a brain tumour cause I could've sworn I've seen both goals and assists from the player but apparently there's none.Pellestri offers better balance, the right sided player who doesn't always have to cut inside. Antony only has one shot (cut inside, aim for other corner), he has no pace, power, cannot go outside. No crosses. No goals. No assists, no consistent supply line of chances at all.
idk i havent been all that impressed with pell on the right. Dude mainly looks out of control with the ball, and too slow/inefficient trying to score from positions where you swear it is harder to not score than to score. His directness has been nice to see, and glad he has a good work rate at least. Still would like to see antony a bit with an actual CF making runs and giving forward options before i judge him fully. Swear though the dude needs to stop going for far post the one time i saw him go near post he scored.Pellestri offers better balance, the right sided player who doesn't always have to cut inside.

Why do we want players like this in the team? For what? You think they can take us onto the next level?
Man City have bought this guy Doku, who has shown more in a few games, then what I have seen in Antony in a whole year.
Salah. Saka. Kulasevski. Sane at Bayern. Mahrez in Saudi. All left footed players, playing from the right, and they are so, so, so far ahead of Antony it's unreal. Yet some of us want Antony in the team. I simply, simply do not understand it. Just because we buy a player, it doesn't mean, he has to be a good signing. Sometimes signings do not work out, that's the nature of a big team, it happens. The key is to recognise, early, and move on.
We can't keep playing and accepting poor players at Man Utd. Not so long ago, this would never have happened.
He's got some truth in there. Antony is pretty limited. We like him because he puts in a shift in the midfield, but ideally we'd have a much more prolific winger. And at United, you should expect to have that.Jeffthered, you seem to have personal issue with Antony.
Nope.We pretty much did.
Probably not, which is why it was specified as a mutually agreed leave of absence and not a suspension.In a case like this, can the club legally suspend a player if they're not charged following initial investigation?
I think the comparison is perfectly logical on a very superficial level on the basis of them both playing for Man Utd and both appearing to be attacking women. It would be churlish not acknowledge that the causal observer will simply say "here we go again".We really need to get to the bottom of why people draw comparisons between police investigating someone for attempted rape and the police not currently investigating allegations of assault.
The desire to conflate the Greenwood and Antony situations, despite being vastly different, must be based on something and I'm not sure we've got to the bottom of what.

He’s not that good . A bit of a Dan JamesMy main worry is Pellestri will return to the bench again, and we'll say goodbye to that energy and creativity at the RW for the time being.
yeah i like his directness but at times he can be a bit jamesish. Hell theres been multiple times where youd think it be impossible not to score yet he finds a way. People would be killing antony for that.He’s not that good . A bit of a Dan James
Pellistri' end product is really mediocreI hope him coming back doesn’t affect the game time of Pellistri, he’s been quality for us in the few games he’s played.
He hasn’t been quality. I’m not sure what you’ve been watching. As poor as Antony been he’s still a lot better than Pellestri is right nowI hope him coming back doesn’t affect the game time of Pellistri, he’s been quality for us in the few games he’s played.
As an oppose to who? Antony? He can’t dribble past defenders. Pellistri can.Pellistri' end product is really mediocre
Against palace he was better than Antony’s played for a while. He helped us score the first goal with his pass to Dalot.He hasn’t been quality. I’m not sure what you’ve been watching. As poor as Antony been he’s still a lot better than Pellestri is right now
There's really not much between them right now. Pellestri has a different skill set and probably a higher ceiling.He hasn’t been quality. I’m not sure what you’ve been watching. As poor as Antony been he’s still a lot better than Pellestri is right now
Compared to what's on offer from City, Arsenal and Liverpool yes without any question, but he's probably the best option at RW we've got right now, at least based on what we've seen from Antony and Sancho so far.Pellistri' end product is really mediocre
No chance. Media journos and Rachel Riley will start soon.Seems like common sense prevails again.
He's cooperated with the authorities in Brazil and then went back to Manchester for a formal interview with the Manchester police. With no charge/arrest being made he's done the formal part of defending himself against the accusations which was the reason for the leave of absence.I haven't followed up on this case a lot.
Was there any recent info that prompted the return to the squad?
just thought you might like to know. that Bayern are so desperate for defenders, bo...aeting....my. computer insists on boating...has been training with them....he has been punished for assaulting his girlfriend...not in Germany....but Bayerns sporting director. has said this is a private matter and shouldn't affect whether they sign him.Given the circumstances and information available, this was the right thing to do. Simple as that. Never should have been out of the squad in the first place. But from a footballing side of things, I hope Pellistri continues to get chances. He's much more of a winger than Antony is.
A higher ceiling based on what exactly?There's really not much between them right now. Pellestri has a different skill set and probably a higher ceiling.
Personally think he looks average at bestPrayers for Pellistri. I reckon he would be a great RW if given some time
yeah i wanted real bad for him to look great, but swear half the time he is dribbling with the ball he looks out of control/like hes about to lose it at any moment. He was constantly getting in good finishing positions, only to look incredibly weak putting home chances. Think people were just desperate for someone else besides antony, but for right now at least no way should he (pellistri) be the starter for us, regardless of the antony situatioPersonally think he looks average at best
Is this her lawyer deciding she can’t represent her and the accuser continuing regardless or something? Don’t really get it.
I presume the lawyer was trying to first get a criminal case against Antony going, and then take it to civil court for a lawsuit. Probably realized there's not enough evidence for either and bounced.Is this her lawyer deciding she can’t represent her and the accuser continuing regardless or something? Don’t really get it.
