Yeah I wish the club were thinking like that too

In the latest edition of the United Hour Podcast, Imran (@Annihilate Now!) & Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to discuss disappointed FA Cup exit at the hands of Brighton - confirming our shortest season in over 100 years. They also discuss the news that Michael Carrick is set to be United's manager until the end of the season.
I'm all in.
I still want Baleba next year, if this helps with European football and funds left for a GK then go for it.
Reality is Casemiro leaves next year, Ugarte will be not good enough.
We need probably 3 more midfielders buying and Agoume can be one of them

All the noise is only Seville sources so far
thats worryingBaleba for comparison:
Peak sprint velocity 99th percentile - reflects the peak speed of a player and his ability to reach it multiple times
OTIP = Opposition Team In Possession
The midfield needs a complete rebuild like we did with attack this summer. If that’s the plan then maybe we are better off saving the money for two blockbuster CM signings next summer than getting a stop gap.
Is that really a fair comparison? This could be purely down to the league or how he's asked to play.Baleba for comparison:

looks nothing short of decent here, that's all but then again its against RM
that stats comparison making him look world class, but in videos he looks okay. I personally would want a player like this but more pacey for the pl
It’s a strange one because looking at his match compilations he never seems to actually be running so it’s impossible to know if he’s slow or not! He looks a lovely passer. Baleba’s ball carrying has so much potential though in this system and he lacks that but we’ll need to sign more than one CM over the next few seasons.
Yeah I don't see why we couldn't do both
This guy reminds me of William Carvalho in style
Have never seen him play. But the pace and acceleration stats look very worrying.
We need someone who can deal with the pace and athleticism of the PL. Amorim keeps referring to a ‘mobile’ midfielder.
How does he compare to Hayden Hackney? Who seems to also be available on the cheap.

Thank you. I don't know if it's a Fifa thing but the talk about speed for absolutely every positions in this forum is ridiculous. As a midfielder being fast is a bonus nothing else.
Who says that he can't
Yeah I'm trying to think of who he reminds me of but that's not a bad shout. He's a bit languid and looks nothing like Baleba in terms of style or physical characteristics. I have to worry how his game holds up in a quicker and more physical league, or does he have another gear or two to go up?
The way he runs reminds me of Mainoo, which isn't particularly quick.
He doesn’t look this slow in the videos, he actually seems quite fast and athletic so I’m surprised these stats show such a big differential
He strikes me as slow and ponderous and that’s in the Spanish league!
Carvalho didn't do much defensively despite his physical attributes. Aguome's defensive game and numbers look much better.
Oh great another player who we don't agree on
His name pops up a lot by analysts and in discussion on social media. Definitely one for the hype train.
Based on having looked at one all touch compilation, he does seem be on cruising mode all the time with composure on the ball but also has a very comfortable and long stride i.e can move with the ball and can tackle/intercept with his size.

Can we do one of these for CamaraBaleba for comparison:
Peak sprint velocity 99th percentile - reflects the peak speed of a player and his ability to reach it multiple times
OTIP = Opposition Team In Possession
For me get in Camara compared to this guy, camara looks more agile and has more mobility and pace. Even if he is going to cost more potentially, don't skimp and regret later
Judging by the comparison on page one, with the graph showing best progressive passers and destroyers, he isn't as strong defensively as Agoume. He looks a different profile again, so it depends what we want. Neither look like they are in the same bracket as Baleba though, unfortunately. He actually looks a bit like Kone in some aspects, so it also depends on how we see him progressing.
AFCON anyone ?
Yeah that maybe explains lack of interest in Camara
Saw he was Cameroon born. Nevermind!
I deleted as I thought you were on about Camara after the couple posts before
But yeah, he's played for France at youth level and doesn't look like switching
We only want our right side of the team to be gone for afcon not the left
The big improvements over Ugarte will be in his passing particularly distribution to wing backs or dinks over the top. He is also a better ball carrier and better in the air.
I see significant improvement over Casemiro and Ugarte. Probably not as good as Baleba but if we get him for 30m or so, that should not detract from a Baleba signing next summer.

Ok. /thread and lets move on
I will say the same thing about him as I said about Sesko : Diego Leon, Chido Obi, Ayden Heaven, Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha and Patrik Dorgu
At the moment - I actually trust our recruitments

He reminds me of Carrick! Sign him!
Do we have any regular Sevilla watchers on the forum?
How is that possible? Does he only go in reverse ?
I've only really seen him on Youtube highlights, and in all honesty, i'm not even overly impressed by them!
We have left it too late, and I just hope that we aren't going to spunk our funds away on a panic buy.

We walks around the pitch crab like, akin to Zoidberg
Funnily enough, didn't we sign Carrick while using a Sevilla guy as smokescreen, back in the day?
Are you thinking of Marcos Senna from Villarreal?
speed is definitely a requirement for a CM in the modern game ESPECIALLY when you have only 2 in there defensively for large periods of the game
not sure but athleticism and speed are one in the same for me
No more tractors please.
You can cope without pace in the Prem but it's generally alot harder to do so.
We are crying out for some pace and power in CM.
