Vini is a huge commercial asset too. I would imagine Mbappe is going to be shoehorned up front and Vini will stay LF.
I thought this was the Frimpong from Arsenal
You still need a RW, and that's the hardest position to find top quality for as there's very few top left footed attackets around currently. You can play with a 2 up top against most teams, but against the top teams they'll just stack defensively on the left and ignore the right.
Rodrygo is a very good player in his own right and equally capable of playing on the right. If Perez can handle the heat, Greenwood would be a very good acquisition for that RW spot too.
That will be Rodrygo/Valverde for the RW position. Don’t think we had a true RW since Bale. Not even Asensio. Not a big issue as Rodrygo/Valverde do just fine there.
Agreed. Antony can be your main for 60m.
? If it's Mbappe or Haaland I know who I'm taking.
I feel like the midfield is missing something.
Valverde
Mainoo
If people are lazy and have poor critical thinking, stats only haze things even more. As bizarre as it sounds, more information sometimes make a person dumber; in fact, it's exactly what's happening in football world.
If you are investing that much money, you surely want to make sure that you're milking the most out of it. It would be a very questionable decision to bring an absurdly expensive player to use him in a way that would almost certainly cause conflict within your team.
Spanish players in general?
That too, just feels like it could use a creative passer or something like that.
That looks good but I believe Valverde and Kroos will play if they keep their current level and the coach will use a 4-3-1-2 instead of a 4-3-3. I can see Rodrygo being dropped and Carvajal is having a very good season.
A great player. I actually think he’s attainable for United. If Mbappe goes to RM, we sell Rashford to PSG. I’d love to see us go for Vinicius. Whenever I’ve watched RM over the past 3 years he’s always been the player who I think is just pure talent. Would love him in our team. I’m not one for Galatico / Marquee names but he’d be a statement and one that would greatly benefit United.
Your signing what most people including Perez think is the best player in the world. It’s what Madrid do irrespective of position they play. That front 3 is crazy with Bellingham in behind. Madrid have chased him for years and finally get their man. Makes them firm favs next season for everything. Barca in a mess and Madrid pull of this. How do they respond when they are penniless? The pressure would have been really on Perez if they missed out and say he signed for City? Maybe Madrid play amazing next season win the lot and Haaland thinks I’d like some of that ?
De Bruyne was City's best player last season but all the plaudits went to Haaland. In 2024, Etoo would comfortably overshadow Ronaldinho. And Gerd Muller wasn't considered the goat in the 70s although he was recognised.
De Bruyne was City's best player last season but guess who was on the ballond'or podium?
Eto'o's best was 38 goals in one season. Haaland broke records. Different things. Plus Haaland being new had an impact. And De Bruyne being City's best player was debatable, but he did get plaudits. Finished 4th in Ballon D'Or voting in a world cup year in which he did nothing in the WC
De Brunye is your argument for being underrated?
It looks great on paper but that midfield is missing someone who controls a game. They will suffer when Kroos retires. His replacement is the one they need.
Ronaldinho was not fourth on the ballond'or list. He topped it. De Brunye was fourth despite being City's best player but the press went to Haaland.
Regarding the bolded bit I didn’t say he was?
Zero youth or even Spanish players in the first XI. I know it is not their cup of tea but the old RM had that
In 2006, the year he won CL and had his best season(05/06)? You might want to check again
Could get Miguel back from Girona, but it seems we will go for Davies instead.
Honestly, I wish we'd just go for a back 3 with Alaba-Rudi-Militao, with Cama coming inside off the left, Kroos-Fede in the middle, Carvajal on the right, Vini up on the left, and then Jude and Rodrygo up top. Extend Mendy and convert him into a CB, sign a top CB, bring back Miguel as Cama's backup, and find a long term Kroos replacement so we're not *feckED* when he retires
ShhhhIn 2006, the year he won CL and had his best season(05/06)? You might want to check again
It’s a secret!Mbappe (25), Vinicius (23), Bellingham (20), Camavinga (21), Valverde (25), Tchouaméni (24), Rodrygo (23).
