Ha, yeah.In 2017 he said his dream was to win the PL with Leeds. So if he ends up here it'll be Ronaldo all over again, just change Real with the mighty Leeds.
Nope. They can play together if needs be, Greenwood can play on both sides of attack as well as a number 10.What you guys think of having borh Haaland and Greenwood in the team?
Wont they both impede eachothers developement and match time?
Still don’t know why we’ve sold Lukaku to replace him with players just like him.
He does look a bit Everton Lukaku-ish but not much lost for 20m. James was pretty much the same price.After watching a few videos, I’m not totally convinced. His technical ability is questionable. He runs with his head down and his dribbling and ball control is quite awkward looking. He does look like a decent finisher though. For a low fee, I guess he’s worth a punt, but I’m not seeing where all the hype is coming from.
Yes, thanks.You're just plain wrong i'm afraid.
He doesn't score goals because of his size. He isn't wrestling defenders away with his arms then snatching the ball off them, it's down to his anticipation, good movement and acceleration.
His ability to smash the ball low and hard at almost any angle is another reason why his shot % is so high, he rarely skies them.
People say his technique is poor, but it's absolutely fine. His 1 touch passing is much better than Lukaku's, better than Rashfords.
Half the youtube scouts on here said Daniel James was a kick and run footballer who couldn't dribble, look how that turned out
Yeah, I understand some concerns about his technical ability.If he has a £20m release clause which is active in January as alluded by Luckhurst in his MEN piece, then it will be a very good deal for us.
No, from what I have seen. He is a pure CF.Can he do a job on the right if needed?
If he was to be compared to anyone it should be a young Ruud not Lukaku.To me he looks like he has a much better engine then Lukaku and that makes him much better for a high pressing side. Also looks like he has more agility, deceptively quick feet if that makes any sense.
Yeah, makes more sense.If he was to be compared to anyone it should be a young Ruud not Lukaku.
Superb source - for this particular transfer
ThanksFor this, very reliable.
RBS will soon unearth another talent on the cheap, I mean who knew Mwepu from Zambia would be such a cracking player .Thanks
Would be a brilliant signing if we pull it off. Pretty cheap too.
Pretty much my thinking.For 20m it’s going to be a good business no matter what, however if reports around the clause are wrong we should stay clear. Pretty straightforward situation all things considered.
The 8 goals in the Champions League, and subsequent scoring record is the primary reason for all the hypeAfter watching a few videos, I’m not totally convinced. His technical ability is questionable. He runs with his head down and his dribbling and ball control is quite awkward looking. He does look like a decent finisher though. For a low fee, I guess he’s worth a punt, but I’m not seeing where all the hype is coming from.
2 CMs if Pogba leaves in the summer.Im excited. Then just a RW, CM and LB away from challenging.
Because he's not a player just like him.Still don’t know why we’ve sold Lukaku to replace him with players just like him.
Haaland looks fast enough from what I've seen. He can go on a burst of a run and really carry the ball.I think Hailand's playing style is similar to Lewandowski's style of play. But is that the type of striker United needs? I think a player like Dembele from Lyon fits better into United's attacking game. He is fast, dribble and has a really good technique. I think Dembele could be crazy for United.
Lucky that we have some alright wingers ourselvesI think Haaland has great potential but would have much preferred Minamino as much of Salzburg's dynamism comes through the Japanese international.
5 players for those positions is perfect. City went 1 too far and have 6 players. It had affected the players, mainly Sane and since his injury their squad has looked much happier. Even liverpool with Shaqiri and Origi as backups works.Nope. They can play together if needs be, Greenwood can play on both sides of attack as well as a number 10.
Between Rashford/Greenwood/Haaland/Martial/James that's a nice balance for 3 positions.
That leaves us with Pogba/Lingard,Pereira,Mata for the 10 position. More than likely Mata goes next year.
Especially as Greenwood will still be only 18 at the start of next season. Being one of the five would be excellent progress for any player of that age.5 players for those positions is perfect. City went 1 too far and have 6 players. It had affected the players, mainly Sane and since his injury their squad has looked much happier. Even liverpool with Shaqiri and Origi as backups works.
Just an observation from the video I watched. All but one of the 24 goals in the video were scored inside the 18. Maybe a hand full from inside the 6. Not many headers. Still, he’s scoring goals which we’re having trouble with.After watching a few videos, I’m not totally convinced. His technical ability is questionable.

Exactly. Best part is everyone is versatile to play multiple positions except Haaland. We will have good enough depth to rotate properly.Nope. They can play together if needs be, Greenwood can play on both sides of attack as well as a number 10.

LW: Rashford, JamesBut but we are getting Sancho as well!
Don't get me wrong. I'm not against signing him. I just try to put myself in his shoes and think what I would take into account if moving to a new club. Fact of the matter is that at the moment Dortmund hasn't got a set starting striker. Alcacer seems to get injured every second game he plays and apart from that they have to use either Reus or someone else who isn't really a striker to play there. At RB Leipzig he would have to get past Werner first but on the other hand they play quite often with two strikers as well.I think Rashford will play from the left exclusively from now on so I'd discount him. I expect Greenwood to play mostly from the right. He's James only quality competition for that position. So he'd be competing with Martial. He'd get loads of football. Having him there would hopefully keep Anthony on his toes also.
Should we sign Haaland we'd have a nice set of options imo. 5 hugely talented young players for 3 positions. Plenty of flexibility also.

Listen up everyone. Don't write something about anything unless it solves everything
Of course yes. Have you seen any club in the world that has two teenage strikers (different styles) and they coexisted together successfully? What we should have been doing if we are really clever is activate Ziyech's clause (goalscorer and assist maker) to balance our RW and solve our creativity deficiencies at the same time. Another prospect is the last thing this team needs.What you guys think of having borh Haaland and Greenwood in the team?

How much did we pay for Martial and what were his goal scoring stats prior to moving here? I don’t remember any hype at all about Martial and the transfer seemed to come out of nowhere. The only thing I do recall is that most thought it was a waste of money. This is his 5th season I believe. If we all had the gift of hindsight, would we still want him?This one seems too obvious, at 20 million he’s totally worth a punt especially seeing as he’ll run through brick walls for ole. There’s no downside. At 80 million I expect an awful lot more due diligence and actual thought about whether he will be our main striker for years to come. I think there are still too many questions to invest that kind of money in him. Does he suit our style and is he the best player we can get for that kind of money? I’m of the thinking that someone like havertz behind martial and Rashford would be a better use of the cash.
