Simon Stone for Espn fc? It’s Simon Stone right?
Looks like a pool interview. ESPN has just uploaded all the footage.Simon Stone for Espn fc? It’s Simon Stone right?
I agree! Good squad player at best if we want to reach the top. Would he start for City? No he wouldn't! So if we want to get to the top why are we ignoring the fact that his position is an area that needs fixing if we are serious as a club?I don't hate him. I think he is a good footballer but not good enough if we really want to challenge for the title and in that way similar to Rashford.
You don't hate Bruno Fernandes, who has played pretty much every minute for us since he joined, wears the armband, and has 60+ goals and 50+ assists.I don't hate him. I think he is a good footballer but not good enough if we really want to challenge for the title and in that way similar to Rashford.
Cheers mate!You don't hate Bruno Fernandes, who has played pretty much every minute for us since he joined, wears the armband, and has 60+ goals and 50+ assists.
We'll be sure to let him know
Scores goals, assists, top teamwork and work rate. And he is not good enough?I don't hate him. I think he is a good footballer but not good enough if we really want to challenge for the title and in that way similar to Rashford.
He wouldn't start over KDB indeed, though. The rest is hyberpole, I agree. He's one of our best players and we can't afford to be without him even despite all his faults and inconsistencies.What a turn this thread took
Wouldn't start over KDB, must be shite, let's replace him with Mount. No hate, though.
Yeah, KDB is by most metrics a better player, but an interesting experiment would be swapping Fernandes circa 2018 and having him coached by Guardiola , with KDB at the stage he was at when he transferred to City and having him coached by a fading Mourinho and then playing under Ole-ball regime. KDB might still end up being judged better as a technician and provider of assists but it'd be fairly minimal by comparison.KDB would get hate on here for not saving our passes every game. While he is the better player the caf would still get bored of their shiny new toy.
I don't think you understand my point. He is a good footballer but not someone to take us to the next level which is what we should be aiming for. This is true for Rashford too. But neither should be priority to replace unless someone better becomes magically available.Scores goals, assists, top teamwork and work rate. And he is not good enough?
And hate? You meant "rate" right? Right?
But Rashford would walk into the City team.I don't think you understand my point. He is a good footballer but not someone to take us to the next level which is what we should be aiming for. This is true for Rashford too. But neither should be priority to replace unless someone better becomes magically available.
I'm not saying he is poor unlike say Sancho, Antony or McFred who should not be Manchester United players imo.
Honestly, that is debatable at best. City don't play vertical football which is what suits Rashford.But Rashford would walk into the City team.
Suppose you missed the LVG years.Honestly, that is debatable at best. City don't play vertical football which is what suits Rashford.
NopeSuppose you missed the LVG years.
Our talisman is 28 years old, yet HE HAS NEVER PLAYED IN A CHAMPIONS LEAGUE semi final in his life.You don't hate Bruno Fernandes, who has played pretty much every minute for us since he joined, wears the armband, and has 60+ goals and 50+ assists.

my IQ dropped by a solid couple points just by reading that drivelOur talisman is 28 years old, yet HE HAS NEVER PLAYED IN A CHAMPIONS LEAGUE semi final in his life.
Our 28 year old talisman who has not won a league title in his career. Sporting won a league title after he left them.
Compare him to Bernardo Silva, same age 28 years. He has won multiple league titles in every country he has played in. Portugal (even if he was fringe player) , France, England where he has earned his cake.
Bernardo has played in multiple champions league semifinals. Scored multiple goals in champions league semifinals. By weekend he will have played in 2nd Champions league final. By weekend he might a treble winner.
By the way they did cost almost same amount of money £47m - £43m, same age 28 years, same physical stature, but one has achieved genuine success without overrating from fans while another has won nothing of substance in his career but treated by a royalty.
If Bruno was as good as many of our fans make him to be, he would have been a very decorated player with multiples titles to boot having played in the biggest games in the planet.
Generally, elite footballers have big titles to show and are involved in big games/high stakes games where they leave their mark.
So you don't know what you're talking about when it comes to the type of football Rashford can and can't play. Got it!Nope
LVG's brand of football was a snooz fest.
Ok thenSo you don't know what you're talking about when it comes to the type of football Rashford can and can't play. Got it!

These hypotheticals of Bruno at City would never work because Pep would never want him.Bruno Fernandes would have double his stats in the City team, he provides on a platter all the time and our other players fail to capitalise.
Also calling Antony poor after one season and putting him in the mcfred category, poor post.
