Makes deciding not to sign Henderson because he runs funny seem positively inspired by comparison.Still think we decided against him because we are big on personality and character and he made a bit of a tit of himself off the field a number of times last year.
It's also criminal to then have him and not use him regularly. Think his confidence has gone completely.Yep. It seems a criminal waste to put 40m into him, instead of saving it to go big on a Grealish.
Agree with this. I was never hugely behind the VDB signing but he’s a decent squad player.Yep. It seems a criminal waste to put 40m into him, instead of saving it to go big on a Grealish.
He needs to force it if he has any ambition. That’s the only way they will let him go.If their demands were high last summer, what would they be now? He has taken another step this season. Villa are looking like they may be a top 7 side right now.
He doesn`t look that explosive but he left Romeu looking like a statueAnother great move from Grealish.
He did. I sat there opened mouthed.He doesn`t look that explosive but he left Romeu looking like a statue
He has the arrogance and charisma to be one.Awesome player, a manchester united player

why, he can play from left and will be significantly better than all our other options. Him cutting in and an overlapping full back to keep the width.We’d sign him and play him right wing so we don’t upset Rashford and Bruno.
Pointless signing unless we are willing to push Bruno into the midfield.
Yeah I thought we should have gone for him at £60m but he’d cost double that nowIn hindsight we should have gone for him instead of Donny
Probably would have cost about 60million but you would have to pay much more now
He can play from the left in a Villa formation. I wish we would stop our pipe dreams. We currently play through Bruno Fernandez only. Unless we are willing to accept that Jack Grealish will be the most important player in our club like Villa do it’s not going to work and never will.why, he can play from left and will be significantly better than all our other options.

It's as simple as telling Bruno to play 10 yards deeper, nearer to Pogba than the second striker role he has now and giving Grealish the freedom of the attacking area.He can play from the left in a Villa formation.

What would be the plan when he signs put him on the left and just hope he does what he does at Villa?
Pogba plays from the left from time to time and the games doesn’t go through him.
When the RVP rumours first started up a lot of posters on here said they didn't want him because we already have Welbeck, will never forget reading that. Literally the whole first page of the RVP thread was people saying "but what about Welbeck's development"A year ago people didn't want Haaland for peanuts because we had Martial. Now people don't want Grealish because we have Rashford. You'd think Martial and Rashford both were 3x POTYs the way people hype them up as some sort of undroppable mythical figures.
Have United fans always been like this? Was there a lot of "nope don't want RVP, we've got Welbeck/Chicha" noise in 2012? "Why are we getting Berbatov?! We've got Rooney, Ronaldo, Nani, Tevez, Giggs!" in 2008? Or "why on earth do we want Yorke, we've got 3 strikers already" in 1998?
City have been sweeping up all sorts of attacking talent in the past decade. Those that don't succeed are phased out and replaced by better players. That's how you win stuff. Yet here we have United fans content with giving two hot and cold players (with 11 years of experience between them) one chance after another season after season.
If we don't pay up, City or Chelsea certainly will. They'll have a player capable of elevating them to trophies for most of this decade. And we'll be scratching our heads asking ourselves how we let yet another obvious signing go unchallenged to a rival.
Do you ever read your posts back and think “ah I’m talking bollocks”..?He can play from the left in a Villa formation. I wish we would stop our pipe dreams.

Ah, he’s definitely a Pep player. He’s excellent at retaining possession and passing and moving, with low center of gravity.He doesn’t strike me as a Pep kind of player. His a Fergie signing all over we need him!
It’s always bollocks until it happens. Then it’s who would have knew that.Do you ever read your posts back and think “ah I’m talking bollocks”..?
He's a classic united signingAh, he’s definitely a Pep player. He’s excellent at retaining possession and passing and moving, with low center of gravity.
But, I agree he has a United quality to him, a bit like Beckham. I think we’d regret not getting him alright.
If we could somehow get him, Haaland and Rice, I think we could really challenge the oil cheats.
This. He'll be much more effectiveRather spend 100 million on him than Sancho.
Get him in.
Yep, that’s exactly what you do. Alternatively, watch him go to City and shine for them. He’d potentially benefit from not being as much of a marked man by opposing teams.He can play from the left in a Villa formation. I wish we would stop our pipe dreams.

Yeah I couldn’t see him being a menace for City. Unfortunately they actually do fit.Yep, that’s exactly what you do. Alternatively, watch him go to City and shine for them. He’d potentially benefit from not being as much of a marked man by opposing teams.
yep, holding midfielder, two wingers and de Bruyne and Grealish as central midfielders getting into little pockets of space ... congratulations on the 2022 title.Yeah I couldn’t see him being a menace for City. Unfortunately they actually do fit.
He has a valid point I'm astounded to see how short minded fans are urging the club in a time of financial difficulty to buy (what would be most of our budget) on a single player who barely contributes to the areas where the squad is proficiently weak. Unless Grealish is a right sided player the club should not be going for him. All Grealish does is further unbalance the attack, he's not a step in the right direction.Do you ever read your posts back and think “ah I’m talking bollocks”..?

Replacing Pogba is a good shout but we don't have one defensive midfielder at the club capable of playing a 4-3-3 with comfort defensively. So tactically and not based on a FIFA ideology Grealish should only be remotely entertained with the idea of a sole defensive midfielder to rotate the team shape. Jack has absolutely no place with Solskjaer's preferred 4-2-3-1. Sancho on form and Jack on form, Jadon provides more functionality to this team.
Who cares, if we sign him he’ll be our wanker. He’s fantastic and would walk into our team.Fantastic player. Bit of a wanker though, but despite all the controversy around him it’s never looked like it’s been affecting him on the pitch.
