Yeah the lack of pace and defensive ability is a worry and you make very valid point about pitch sizeAs the chart suggests, Wharton's passing is high reward, but also high risk - he gives the ball away a lot, hence why his 'fields gained per incompletion' is below average.
Tchouameni would give some defensive stability that could almost accommodate a Wharton, but I still think Wharton's lack of pace and defensive ability is too great to be worth it at United (again, same as Stiller). I'm not convinced his passing is worth it for the zero he gives off the ball. Old Trafford is a bigger pitch than Selhurst Park, and I think he'd get exposed. He really is incredibly slow; he makes Mainoo look explosive.
Honestly I'd also want a piece of Guler once Bruno gets his OT farewell in 4-5 years timeNah definitely want a piece of this

Every time I log on twitter there’s a new leak:
, Valverde is extremely unlikeableNah definitely want a piece of this
But you want Fede given everything said about him, his attitude and his wife? Wild take!
And that is another thing. Was that a sucker punch? Press leaking sucker puncher........don't want.
It was a joke. I don't want either of them. But, between those two i would choose superior player. Which is Valverde.But you want Fede given everything said about him, his attitude and his wife? Wild take!
Wild stuff.I don't want either of them. But, between those two i would choose superior player. Which is Valverde.
I don't see what is wild about it, tbh.Wild stuff.
Wild that you’re complaining about the character of Tchoumeni when it all points to Valverde being the issue then saying you’d like to sign Valverde despite suggesting the club don’t need toxicity at the club.I don't see what is wild about it, tbh.

Bizarre!
Just felt like double standards to prod a Tchouameni when by all accounts it seems Valverde has been the instigator.To be fair, his argument is that Valverde is far better, which isn't exactly true but that's the argument used.
How does it translate MikeWake up babe, new Comunicado Oficial just dropped.
They have opend an investigation on both players.How does it translate Mike
Disciplinary investigation against Tchouameni and ValverdeHow does it translate Mike

I don't know why but I find this hilarious. Along with the supposed attitude issues with Alvaro Fernandez their dressing room must be a mess. Not to mention the drama surrounding Mbappe. No wonder Alonso noped out of there.
Ok, like I said, I was half-joking, but if you insist on taking this seriously, then fair enough.Wild that you’re complaining about the character of Tchoumeni when it all points to Valverde being the issue then saying you’d like to sign Valverde despite suggesting the club don’t need toxicity at the club.
Bizarre!
Posted in earlier in this thread.What happened with Alvaro? I thought he’d be the last one to cause issues given they have the likes of Mbappe, Vini and Bellingham in their squad.
Nope, there's been rumours of attitude problems with him and he's aparently been benched by Arbeloa because of that.

In the 11th minute, Ferland Mendy was taken off injured, with Fran Garcia coming on to replace him. Spanish TV cameras caught Alvaro Carreras laughing in reaction. That Carreras was again overlooked (he has been an unused substitute in three of Madrid’s past four matches) has stimulated debate among supporters.
The €50million (£43.2m; $58.5m) summer signing from Benfica (who Madrid let go for free to Manchester United in 2020), has seen his playing time reduced since Arbeloa replaced Xabi Alonso in January, and there has also been tension between Carreras and Arbeloa in recent weeks.
Sources among Madrid’s coaching staff have complained about the 23-year-old’s attitude and professionalism. Those close to the player reject the criticisms.

Didn't they say he left by mutual consent?In fairness, getting sacked isn’t really “noping out of”, and reportedly some of the current tensions in the squad exist because some players (Tchouameni, Mbappe, etc) were Alonso loyalists/liked him, and supposedly didn’t like how he was treated by the likes of Valverde, Vinicius and Bellingham
Didn't they say he left by mutual consent?
Fair enough. He must be glad to get out of that circus.Reported as sacking on many outlets. Mutual consent is likely just the wording to preserve Alonso’s image/future prospects.
It happened again apparently
He knocked him out for gobbing off, good ladWould appreciate some insight into this given our links.
That said being able to stand up for himself is an endearing quality for me nowadays....
Valverde is a scum bag where both him and his wife have been involved in racism/xenophobia incidents, not a big stretch to see he probably deserved to get knocked out hereWould appreciate some insight into this given our links.

Acknowledge himHeard it was a superman punch
