He’s much better than AWB so he’s a given. I’m just confused as to how any sane person can rate the other 3 higher at this point.
Ole's at the wheel!
This.
Dias has to show he can be consistent, but based on last season he was absolutely above Varane, but a change of scenery and league can make a difference and maybe we see the best of Varane in the Premier League, let's see once he adapts.
Arsenal dumped a sack of shit on United. Good business for Arsenal and getting rid of Alexis, but there is no planet in which it can be persuasively argued that United was shrewd in taking Arsenal's problem child off your hands. This isn't just 20/20 hindsight...there really was a constituency here which questioned the wisdom of that signing.
Varane had the higher Team of the Season card in Fifa though.
The only difference is we're not paying stupid amount of money on weekly wages.
For the first time in its existence Real Madrid could not be bailed out by entities outside the club.
I would say:
Without the supporter protests none of this would have happened
They also have a better manager, a better system
Agreed!He’s much better than AWB so he’s a given. I’m just confused as to how any sane person can rate the other 3 higher at this point.
You’d have to completely ignore Maguire outshining Stones for the second successive tournament and elevate a guy who’s played 32 top league games to being level or better than a 4 time CL and WC winner, it’s nuts
Because he wanted to be a United player and wouldn't extend his contract at RM. Magical, when players think United is a top club, again, isn't it?
Not when you compare head to head.
Agreed. The 'shiny new signings' are an attempt at pacification and nothing more. They and the fans know that prior to the Glazers and after the Glazers the club generates its own income.
Thought we had a place to sleep at Carrington, thought it was used for a transfer during van Gaal's tenure. He can then immediately start training as well, hotel etc can come later then x.
I really hope we give him time to settle in, I wouldn’t be against him sharing minutes with Lindelof until he is fully settled in.
Add there Scott and potentialy Pogba
8 goals in 238 matches for Real indicates he is not
The pressure was also on for Pogba, Jones, Lingard, Fred from day one and theyre still here. All Im saying is the prospect of playing for United is not so scary anymore because we have had so many meme players. The pressure is not as high as it used to be.
That's more than obvious.
It’s too early to compare. As you say, Dias has to show consistency but then also Varane needs to show he can adapt to the PL and ramp up his physical game
I assume you are joking.
I’m not convinced, has Ramos written all over it.
This is spot on.
He’s had games where he looked great. Just seems best to let go of injury prone players. I can’t think of a single one who has come thru it all to become healthy again.
Didn't he stay back while Ramos went up for corners?
He can feck off in that case. He had lots of seasons to prove his fitness and long term reliability. Unfortunately he hasn't. He can't keep getting rewarded by contracts and game while he spends his time on injury table, who does he think, he is Phil Jones?
Almost 10 years and only 238 matches?
Please don’t forget how the annual salary of the player is converted into a 5 year figure, added on to the transfer fee plus agent fee totalling into an investment of 150 million on one player. Somehow, this granularity of investment was only limited to players signed by United.
Must be league matches
