Agh yes, the club that has more players at a top level that came through its academy than any other club. Poor management!

And we suck. You forgot the key matter - WE SUCK. And those promoted players are some of the worst. Stop pretending that we have some kind of Class of 92 situation here. Get a grip

 

[antohan]

I reckon he has a good chance of getting some gametime next season.

 

[Bondi77]

With which club?

 

[Davie Moyes]

I reckon he has a good chance of getting some gametime next season.

I hope so.

I've not seen much of him apart from the YouTube clips of his recent Uruguay games. He looks great to me (just on the eye test). His style of play and attributes are fairly unique.

Also I've just read your earlier post about the reasons why the Uruguay manager brought in him into the team and agree with you that we suffer from the same issues so could see him make a similar impact here.

 

[londonredmaniac]

I'd be happy to see him get some game time here next season tbh.

 

[Red the Bear]

I haven't seen much of him but from what I've seen , I felt he was too weak and easily brushed aside.
Needs to bulk up.

 

[Blood Mage]

Not good enough for this level unfortunately.

 

[Coops73]

There’s a little bit of a Harry Styles vibe about him which will be awesome for our Instagram following, I’m sure the Glazers will take note and I fully expect him to be a regular starter next season along with a new watermelon Sponsor for the ladies.

 

[jesperjaap]

Like a few recently, the loans been an absolute disaster. From the little I have seen of him (admittedly from youtube and fleeting glimpses of Urauguay highlights and for us in reserves and preseason).....I like him, good technique and work rate, decent pace, always looking to beat the defender and get forward.

Whether he can make it here is another thing altogether but I would like to see him invovled in preseason and either get a proper loan at a godo English club or involved with a matchday squad place possibly

 

[jesperjaap]

You may be completely right...but how can you make that judgement when he hasnt even played here or on loan, mere gsme time has been for his country?

La Liga matches this season.

Squad: 31, Starting eleven: 6, Substituted in: 15, On the bench: 10, Suspended: 0, Injured: 2

 

[Ali Dia]

Bet he has a blinding preseason

 

[Jezpeza]

Bet he has a blinding preseason

he did this season. I can see him and Amad being in the squad - along with Elanga will be the backup wide men. Who else will we have and we need too many starters to be spending money on backup wingers

Yes, he’d actually be getting more games here at this point this season as mad as that sounds. I think he’s a better football player than Elanga but less intense in the press/physical.

hopefully we can build his fitness with the rest of the squad in pre season

Just checked to see if he got any minutes this weekend, nope, not one even though Alaves lost 4-0.

For Alaves he's played a total of 90 minutes since 18th December.

Funny thing is that he wasn't playing last season and yet we decided to loan him again to the same shitty team.

It defies logic.

What's even stupider is he chose to go back.

he's wasted 2 years of his career.

Either we or the player (probably both) are a bit stupid

Some players are really bad at managing their careers it doesn't help that we are bad at choosing loan clubs.

I'd just love to see what the thinking is. Why aren't we on the phone to Alaves asking questions? do we even care at this point?

We should have got him out in January.

 

[Oranges038]

Brighton or Brentford would bd a good loan move for him next season.

 

[ash_86]

Only other reason i could think off, he has his mates up there and don't want to get out of comfort zone.

Bloody hell. Didn't he look superb in the international games a little while back? Some of these players would be far better off in our reserves, or 3rd/4th choice in the first team.

 

[Bestie07]

Probably has a girl there. Made no sense to go back there this season after his lack of playing time last season.

 

[Oldyella]

Club should really have overruled him if it was his decision to go back there.

Agree and ideally any well run club will look at the minutes he got last season and say no fecking way. But ours don't care since his wages are taken care .

That's a joke. We've handled this loan terribly. Definitely highlights that lack of 'pastoral care' within the club.

 

[Neil_Buchanan]

It’s lucky that his international performances have kept him sort of relevant, without them he would be almost completely written off by now. His next loan move will be crucial.

 

[JPRouve]

Is that the case? And I don't think United pay too much attention to wages.

 

[ash_86]

If an agent brings forward a loan opportunity , i don't think we don't go into details. It looks like we are just happy the player found a club for himself and his wages are covered. Why would else we be sending him to the same club he barely got minutes last season?

I don't think that there is any rational behind it, we don't care much about the playing time of the young players currently on the roster let alone the ones that are not in it, Mejbri has played a grand total of 6 minutes for the senior team. I also don't think that the club cares one bit about Pellistri's wage. This is just an example of the complete lack of competency at United because it's not as if Alaves was the only club that can pay Pellistri's wage and if anything the fact that they are not using him tells me that they didn't invest much financially if at all.

The club wanted him to go on loan to Club Brugge but the player insisted on Alaves

Why does the club listen to the player? This happened with Januzaj where he opted to go to Dortmund and failed completely. We never saw this amazing wonder-kid after.

Did Garner choose his team or did he only requests that he will be getting game time? The club should be dictating where the player goes if it is for their development unless they are to be let go and the club is willing to compromise.

Because the club can't force a player to sign a contract with an other club. An Januzaj wasn't an amazing wonder-kid which is why he was sent on loan.

Exactly, it's like the club doesn't even care if he plays or not.

I mean try to find him a new club in which he plays for, or worse case scenario it would surely be better to train with us than with a relegation team in Spain.

 

[antohan]

He is nailed on to start at the World Cup, so hopefully he will get better advice on what to do going into next season.

As opposed to us and Alavés, the NT manager clearly rates him and knows how to get the best out of him. Will also not share whatever stupid rationale drove him to rejoin Alavés.

Personally, I do think ETH could use him and given the extent of turnover required will prioritise other roles. Surely we have enough options for RW with Sancho, Amad and Pellistri? Anyone seen our midfield and fullbacks lately?

Can someone briefly summarise the current situation with Pellestri?

Player's aren't slaves. Don't know if you were informed of that.

He's crap along with all our other players.
