Both are currently better. But I’d say he’s got greater potential. I’d be quite happy if we signed him.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
He’s as reliable as it gets. Especially concerning Ligue 1.... according to a French journalist
I understand your point but is Ole really that big of a name to be in a position to demand certain signings no matter the cost? We finished 6th after all. He's a manager of a limited experience and not so big success.
I fully agree. Which is why the board need to be firm on this one. Don't expect managers to jump with joy at the prospect of having someone knowledgeable who assess their work.
Ironically a DOF can protect the manager as much as he can protect the board. Managers benefit from not having to take full responsibility over transfers. It also makes it easier for them to run the day to day work as well. I remember when Juve's DOF decided that an ageing Del Piero was not worth the salary he was in. The players were outraged by it but they could do nothing about it because if they played badly then they would cost the manager's job (who was pro Del Piero) and not the DOF's job. Ultimately the manager interceded on Del Piero's behalf and a compromise was reached with Del Piero given a contract but on a reduced salary.
Dont have a clue about this guy, can someone fill me in?
Yeah not a difficult one at all,they are the only ones reporting the Grealish stuff today so take with a pinch of salt
As a club, why should I care if Ole agrees or not ? We have decided we will have a DoF and I don't care if Ole or another manager agrees with it.

Yeah there is no doubt a DOF would see us utilising the european market to find the same quality of player but at a lower price than someone PL proven

Why are people discussing a DoF?
Has hell frozen over..??
Honestly don't know because it's a complete waste of time when they club are stubbornly refusing to appoint one
I can't see United ever having a DoF unless his surname is Glazer.
Then fans wonder why we don't buy many players outside of the UK (Bruno aside of course). We all know there is better value in Europe for similar level players but the club just don't wanna hear it at all
Absolutely, DOF is a must. Giving every manager what their heart desire no matter the cost is not sustainable.
It’s been years since fans and some pundits have been crying out for a DOF. If the Glazers and Woodward wanted one they would have gotten him/her a long time ago. Unfortunately....
Well thats Maguire's biggest strength, Torres qualities compliment him from the bit I've seen.
Meet me under the big clock at noon sharp.
Can we quit talking about a DOF folks. There is a thread(s) for that.
Stick to Badiashile please
Stick to Badiashile please
And the cigars?
Tell him to bring three; one for you, one for me and one for the big cock.
It’s almost like there are consequences in life, like not getting a job as a lawyer if you have face tattoos.. unfair! Or perhaps paying 80m for Maguire will make every club in the world know we are idiots in the market and will suffer for it for a looong time! I’ve said it tons of times, paying heavily for players will cost us in many ways.
Tbh it has been a hot topic only for the past few years.
Tbh how big is the difference between ‘years’ and ‘the past few years’? It’s a useless debate as we both mean the same thing.
Idk , i guess the 'years' alone can also represent a longer period of time than the 'few years'. But yeah, i agree it's rather pointless. Gotta ask why the inclusion of 'crying'?

His rating has doubledthis unlikely hero
Jaysus! Their fans are not into him at all.
To be fair, those comments read eerily similar to any number of player performance threads on the Caf. Not saying there isn’t some truth in there, but I always take forum comments like that with a hefty dose of skepticism. I also haven’t ever seen the lad play so cannot speak to his ability myself.
They never get experience of having injury prone defenders like Jones, Bailly, Rojo & Tuanzebe.
shades of the Caf discussing one of our better players
For those that haven't seen him he has made some big errors. Monaco was a mess this year and probably not ideal for an 18/19 year old to develop. On the flip side he has experience that many that young don't get. He has every physical attribute you could want in a CB and left footed. It does seem like a weird signing, he would probably be 4th or 5th at CB at best and maybe lower if we don't ship out Rojo, Jones and Smalling. Leverkusen makes more since to me as he would be their 3rd choice and get plenty of game time on a solid team. With all that said I am all in... for anything, literally anybody. Sign him up.
He's 19, he's going to make mistakes, I would take those comments with a huge grain of a salt. We'd be buying him for the future, not to come in immediately and start every game, a la Maguire. Our defence was actually pretty good last season on the whole. Adding a left footed CB with potential and showing some faith in some of our players would be fine for next season IMO.
If anyone came and read what the caf had to say about Rashford in October, championship standard etc... you would think he is valued at £10m.
I'm showing those comments to give people a good clear idea that Badiashile isn't going to be someone that you can expect to be our regular player week in week out right away. I have seen some people even putting him in our regular spot right away in this thread.
Signing this guy will be part of investment and up to us to develop him. He has great natural physical to be EPL centre back, he is very composed on the ball & not injury prone. He has some natural gift to make it to the top class ball playing centre back. 30m euro will be a good deal in my opinion for investment on young natural gifted centre back.

“For sale urgently. Lymphatic.”
“He is not master of his zone, intractable,
Too porous player“
“It means 45 million or nothing !!
They are also armored”
My personal favourites. Quite a glowing reference, all things considered. Sign him up!

Gut instinct says this poster seems the equivalent of sportingcp89 (sic) regarding Bruno.
Just scored for Monaco against Metz. A shot not a header.
Just scored again. Great finish too.
What a goal. WTF are we waiting for? This guy is a baller. The Henry of centre back
He leathered it didn't he.
Having a good game so far. Better start than what he had last week.
