Its probably 36m Euros and not pounds
You expect some form of patience on this forum? Still, we have been reportedly scouting him for a good year, if we decide to go for him now it's not a panic buy.Wouldn't people rather wait? It's that exact reason why we keep ending up with panic buys, looking for a quick fix and in the process overpaying and being left with a mediocre player and then we wonder why we're shit.
Yeah, and wasn't this also when RvN fell out with Fergie cos Rooney was getting picked over him towards end of season?my memory though is that when ruud was around Ronaldo was annoying as hell. doing tricks every 3 seconds with little end product.
Nope...Since this seems to be gathering pace.Is he any good.
Hate being a YouTube wanker but his highlight reel is unbelievably shit. There's nerds out there spending hours creating these kind of videos and his highlights are packed with nothing. Memphis has been rubbish so far and he'd have a more impressive video.Just find it funny people are writing him off beside his YouTube comps aren't that great its absolutely laughable.
Then again what should I expect when people have already suggested selling depay after 6 months even though he was fantastic last year.
I welcome his signing I think its really exciting and adds yet another very talented young player to the club. I like the way the squad is developing and you can see that in 3 years we will have some great players if we develop then correctly.
Come on mate you can't judge anything on YouTube, look up Lee trundle he has an insane YouTube collection and he was an overweight Welshman who became a pro at 28.Hate being a YouTube wanker but his highlight reel is unbelievably shit.

Maybe he just does it with the cameras off
That's kind of my point. Who would make a highlight video without any highlights? You can see extended highlights of his games and very little happens. Just seems very odd.Come on mate you can't judge anything on YouTube, look up Lee trundle he has an insane YouTube collection and he was an overweight Welshman who became a pro at 28.
Only thing I saw was the game against Valencia in the CL where he caused all sorts of problems. Looked technically very sound with good feet under pressure in the box. Made one of the goals I thinkI wonder what Martial's Youtube collection was before he signed for us...granted, he only played about a season and half in first team?!
It was actually pretty decent. Included quite a bit from when he played vs Arsenal and tore them a new one.I wonder what Martial's Youtube collection was before he signed for us...granted, he only played about a season and half in first team?!
Grows like feck too
I've had this opinion for years. So many players that look dynamic and quick in Italy flop in the PL.Too much hype on this kid. He is good but not this good.
Serie A is possibly the oldest and slowest of the top 5 leagues in Europe, so anyone with bit of pace would do serious damage. Juan Cuadrado was tearing up that place not to long ago and everyone wanted him. We might have as well as kept Nani.
Trundle was a very skillful player, just a shame he didn't come into the game until late on, as you sayCome on mate you can't judge anything on YouTube, look up Lee trundle he has an insane YouTube collection and he was an overweight Welshman who became a pro at 28.
Very poor defending stats for someone who will end up being used as a full-back.
What an absolute load of nonsense... he was English.Come on mate you can't judge anything on YouTube, look up Lee trundle he has an insane YouTube collection and he was an overweight Welshman who became a pro at 28.
Because we scouted him for a year that doesn't make him good enough. We also scouted for William Carvalho for almost 2 years, it doesn't mean anything. It's a panic buy if a club like Manchester United can not patiently wait to acquire the best of the lot. Anderson is not among the top young wide players. He is 2nd tier at best which isn't bad but we should be look for players that will transform our team or has the potential to the WC, not a player that comes to compete and make up numbers. Our standards are dropping, someone please call 911.You expect some form of patience on this forum?

Harsh on Trundle, that. He was an overweight Englishman.Come on mate you can't judge anything on YouTube, look up Lee trundle he has an insane YouTube collection and he was an overweight Welshman who became a pro at 28.
Point is, a long scouting period doesn't mean the player is what we need. If he ain't good enough, he ain't good enoughYou're confusing your opinion with... Oh never mind
If after a full year of scouting the club believes he is up to the required standard then how is that considered a panic buy? You might not consider him top tier, but that doesn't mean, LVG, the club and the scouting system agrees with you.Because we scouted him for a year that doesn't make him good enough.

Yep, I agree with this. But lately, our transfer approach just seems so scatter gun approach these days.If after a full year of scouting the club believes he is up to the required standard then how is that considered a panic buy?

We didn't buy carvalho because we didn't like what we saw and we are reportedly buying him because we liked what he is. that's kind of what scouts of any club do. Panic buy is panicking and buying someone without checking if they are worth buying. If we scouted him for a year, then it's not as if we haven't checked his abilities. The fact that we chose to buy martial over benteke convinces me that we don't panic buyBecause we scouted him for a year that doesn't make him good enough.

I'm happy with the players brought in since Van Gaal has been at the helm, including Memphis. Clearly our problems are more deeprooted than just our personnel.Yep, I agree with this. But lately, our transfer approach just seems so scatter gun approach these days.
What? Can you elaborate or provide any genuine quotes to back this up please.Yeah, and wasn't this also when RvN fell out with Fergie cos Rooney was getting picked over him towards end of season?
Yes, I too am happy with all of the guys even though we faff'd about with majority of them. Memphis and Martial were last ditch attempts to stop others from snatching them but thankfully we got them. What I am really referring to are the player we didn't get. I am almost certain we tried for Muller, Neymar, Bale, Thiago, Ramos, maybe Ronaldo, Kroos, Pedro, Cesc etc but without any serious intent. It was more like have top players on a dart board and having a poke at each in the dark. Felipe might just be another name in a compiled list that is there should we fail to get our initial targets (who we don't try hard for).I'm happy with the players brought in since Van Gaal has been at the helm, including Memphis. Clearly our problems are more deeprooted than just our personnel.
Did you miss the Guardian journo tweet?Nobody reliable has mentioned this yet, have they?
