Probably has talent but lacks temperament and fitness to play for this club.

The only team that matters
I'm sure there will still be portions of the fanbase wanting to give him a go

One of the most overrated players I've seen at United
He's talented enough, he's just too brainless to be a top player

Also support Vasco da Gama
Take away his squad number, parking spot, locker, first team privileges, etc. Tell him he can leave or spend the remainder of his contract training with the U-23s.

In fact that's the approach we should take with all our high-wage deadwood. No more Mr. Nice Club.

Another dud alongside Martial who will be impossible to shift.

Amazing.

Probably goes without saying but

Of course they don't. Just as Sevilla had no interest in Martial. There's a reason these wasters are sent out on loan well in to their 20's, because they're shite and we can't give them away. Because unfortunately there aren't any other clubs that possess the magic combination of having revenues of hundreds of millions and a cretin like Woodward in charge.

Only because Eric was mistreated and not given a fair chance. Marseille just preferred French players.
Maybe it's that or maybe he's just not good enough. The clause was for 10M, if he really was a good player anyone would pay that fee, french or not.


I see it was sarcasm now haha

They played 3 at the back 1 French CB, 1 from Congo and the other from Bosnia
It's because the rest of the team saw that "tackle" and said we ain't training with this headcase

He did look promising, though also very raw, when he arrived. But beyond the speed, aggression and elegant high cheekbones there wasn’t really much else; and that’s ignoring the recklessness and being made of balsa wood. The “our best defender” lot were always deluded.

It would be difficult to call a £10mil punt a botch, we probably got our monies worth out of him,
He cost something like 28m plus add-ons. He’s been a disastrous buy. We spent something like 35m on Lindelof too, who in fairness has been a much better buy. Despite his reputation on here.

Others have commented on the price tag, but the issue is Mourinho really did get is spectacularly wrong with his buys. According to legend, he also demanded Maguire and that because he didn't get Maguire Jose melted down like a wax clown.

As Marseille finished 3rd does that mean they qualify for CL and does that trigger their obligation to buy?
