Funnily enough we actually don't. Not with Martial gone and Rashford basically being useless.
Honestly I'd love to see a move made for Raphina in the summer. Him and Sancho on the wings would be dynamite

Come on!
his first assist, the wet pitch slowed Lindlof's pass and almost brought to a halt, he had the awareness to to dink it in his first touch over the oppo defense towards Bruno, it was a sublime assist.
How the feck did Elanga missed that sitter . That would have assist of the season.
Great again today. I was cursing him as he made the 2nd assist, I thought he was hanging on to the ball too long when I was hoping he would take one touch and lash it at goal. I thought he'd killed the attack, but he showed me.
First assist was fantastic too. Could've had a couple of goals as well.

I would really like him to play on the bloody right wing.
Excellent player. And will be better and better

It's like @Rozay said above, I want to see players who excite in the build up phase rather than jump straight to stats to prove how a player who is clearly lacking in the build up phase is actually not doing bad because he's scored x amount of goals and z amount of assists.
I'd rather see us move for Antony from Ajax, if I'm honest. He's probably the most exciting young wide forward I've seen in Europe and is a natural fit as a inverted wide forward. The skill/flair in combination with his speed is a joy to behold.

Loving what I'm seeing from Sancho at the minute.
Technically brilliant on the ball and very intelligent.
Sizeable fee but could end up being worth every penny of it

We're jerking it to which assist was sexier.
You know we finally have the Sancho we drooled over at Dortmund
Love the kid.

I find it extremely annoying, but yeah, it’s vintage caf.*four good games later*

Not being pedantic, but nobody does that anymore. It’s more of a team game than ever. No top team «builds around» one player anymore. I think Grealish at AV was a case like that, good for middling and lower teams. He can definitely be one of the more important pieces in a winning team though.
Our best player along with Bruno. Both of them will be key the building a top side under whoever is our next manager.
The money spent on Donny is what I was concered with. I actually like Donny, but for whatever reason (shit in training or whatever) neither Ole nor Ralf saw fit to use him. So be it.*four good games later*

Since you've done research on my prior posts, you/re no don't fully aware that I've posted many times that we should have bought him last season.
If we go for ETH, that might be a reality.
Would potentially be a great move due to the level of skill he possess. The lad is electric and naturally left footed.

I think he might have something great me as well. I think we need to fill the void from MG. It’s not quite easy to see what will happen to that guy.
I knew he will come good. He just needed an adjustment to the English football and get himself familiar. He will be even better next season.
Wake up @Zehner new Sancho MOTM performance
It's so refreshing to see one of our wide players make good decisions in the final third.
and... on the left!!
Antony would be a great option on the right. I’m a massive fan of Neto though - if he comes back well from his injury I’d love us to go for him.
Was always going to be the case, tbh. Rashford was a ticking time bomb for losing the left wing spot. I just didn’t expect Greenwood to be a… you know.and... on the left!!
Shameless self quote from myself in July 2021:
It's good to see the talent is finally translating. I know a lot of people were worried about him, but I honestly had very little doubts that in time he'd show he's one of the most talented young players out there.
stop digging mate
I get that, the game is more strategical now and there is less room for individualism. But if we say he is our best forward player (maybe premature, but yes on current form), then we can pick the system that gets the best out of him and choose players that he can link up well with.
He’s going to have the world at his feet next season. Absolute baller.

You weren't the only one. If you go into that thread there was loads of us saying itl be sancho and Greenwood.
He was brilliant and it was his one time pass to Lindelof that led to the second goal. most other players at united would not pass that ball.
That dude had no idea what I was actually saying. Ole refused to play Donny (whatever his reasons) and barely played Sancho the first few months of the season. My point then, and is now -- although Ole and Donny are both gone, although Donny may come back but Ole surely won, so there's nothing to be gained here -- is that if you're going to spend 100m or so on players the club better fukking play the players. There's no hole to dig out of.
I was one of his biggest critics. Hopefully he’s turned the corner, but bigger tests are to come.
Explains why we're not a top team anymore as we build around a 37 year old Ronaldo
During this good spell he's been having, he's regularly swapped wings during periods of the games. It's quite clear that (like all our other attackers) he's better on the left. This shouldn't be news to anyone who watched him at Dortmund.
We don’t ‘build around’ Ronaldo. We simply play him at centre forward in our team. What the feck is this ‘build around’ thing I keep reading on here anyway?
Another decent showing from the kid. Cross for Bruno's goal was sublime.
What would be gained from it ?
Our attack is based around him and it's affected us adversely this season. Bruno is not the same player and he's been our most productive attacker since he came here.
Those assists today The second was Cantona esque
Shame Elanga fluffed his chance that run too was world class

That is Bruno’s own responsibility. Our attack isn’t ‘based around’ him. In fact, what does that mean, in real terms?
