Even though the source seems questionable, if true it would make sense.
Oh for sure, I'm just not sure it's the wise choice, that's all.
If we sign no one else he'll be competing with Rashford and whoever can push Rashford from a wide position to striker. We might decide Garnacho, Bruno, Antony and Rashford are our strongest front four, who knows.
Yeah that was stating the bleeding obvious.
That is a really good performance, a one man attack at times. Quite obvious why we like him.
Are you insane???
Yeah, have you heard any recent chatter?
But that was the case with WW too. His biggest risk is a fit Martial and don't think that's on the bingo card this season.
How exactly is that an insane statement?
Kane?
First team football? He'll start at Atalanta for sure. Maybe less focus on him also, he'll be in the paper every week at Juventus.
He would score a ton of goals just due to his willingness to get to the 6 yard box instead of queueing up on the penalty spot for a cutback like seemingly every other attacker we have.
Are you sure it's Atalanta he's joining?
That’s what the tweet said that he had reached an agreement with Atalanta which I find weird (as it’s primarily United who need an agreement with Atalanta if the loan indeed happens).
If i'm not wrong, the speculations have been about a loan and not a full sale?
you ever watched Brazilian football?
I feel people here are overestimating the public abuse with Greenwood. Looks like couple are back together since long time and also expecting a baby.
Everyone has heard of women that have gone back to their abusers. That doesn't mean their partners are not abusers or that everyone else should tolerate the abusive pr*cks. We either have a "no dickhead policy" or we don't. This wasn't a youthful moment of madness: Greenwood was violent to a vulnerable person and there should be grave consequences for any player at the club that has brought the club into such disrepute.
RH is also playing in a different league, and you are paying more b/c one is a finished product while the other isn't.
Didn't ETH win the Eredivisie twice with Haller as his main striker?
You're right but in fairness, United are not as possession dominant as that Ajax team and based on our signings, I'm not sure that's what EtH is aiming for. Therefore, it'd make sense that we sign a forward that has the qualities for counter-attacking football given we have Licha, Shaw, Bruno and Mount (and possibly Onana) all capable of springing counters from deep. Not that I don't think Osimhen would also be an amazing counter attacking option - more that the Haller archetype wouldn't necessarily suit this United team.
Yeah and one is a 140 million gamble on high wages vs a 50 million gamble on lower wages
Personally think that's a no go unless he stays at Spurs just to run down his contractKane?
That muppetry was far too contrived. Plenty of padding posts to add pages
He is joking. A lot of fans here think they are smarter than the professionals.
Well of course, b/c one is significantly better than the other.
My issue with this and all the other zero tolerance stances is some of our greatest former players (whose names are still sung famously at Old Trafford week in week out) have had a history of domestic violence for years as adults, but it's a young kid who everyone is keen to cancel because we live in a cancelling culture. Why are all arguments nowadays so black and white with no middle ground? A "no dickhead policy" Ha ha. Since when? I'd say a vast majority of footballers come under the dickhead category for many reasons. The club and indeed society has a range of ways we can react to this including warning as to future conduct and or giving him a second chance and not all have to be 'burn him' 'he should never play for this club again" "never play football again etc."
Aaaah ok, hard to tell on here these days
I'm sorry but I think you are being extrodinarily naive. Even if everything is fine behind the scenes and Mason has been completely rehabilitated, you can't unhear that recording. This will follow him for a long time yet, and there are some that might argue it should, no matter what the couple's circumstances are now. The court of public opinion is harsh at the best of times, but in a football stadium and the media, when they have the moral high ground? I don't think it's going to be pretty.
Maybe true, but the guys not played for 18 months. Plus it'll be good for him to go away, get his head down and maybe he'll come back, or least rebuild his career somewhere else.
You're damn right, Jesus got cancelled!
I don't think we are looking to play mainly on the counter but if we were you could absolutely play counter attacking football with a striker like Giroud for instance. (I won't use Haller as I don't know his game very well).
With the additions of Martinez, hopefully Onana and Mount it seems we are looking to do both. Possession play but with purpose and speed. Only issue is RB, if we had a right back who was great on the ball the back 5 would be superb at moving the ball and Casmeiro’s sometimes sloppy passing but great DM work would compliment each other perfectly l.
Yeah the choice of striker is going to be a pretty big clue as to what he's thinking long term. Right now, we love our attacking transitions and putting Rashford in behind on transition is one of our biggest threats. When facing a settled defence, we're pretty shit in general. This was true under Ole and it's still true now.
I think we'll play with AWB the same way City play with Walker. Neither RB is particularly good on the ball. But they are world class in their own way at 1 v 1 defending. Both can be used in a possession based side quite easily.
Looks like a pretty tasty team on paper, although personally i hope to see more of Amad instead of Antony, unless the latter actually starts outputting some consistent end product the RW is going to continue to be a weakness. Particularly with AWB.I think we'll play with AWB the same way City play with Walker. Neither RB is particularly good on the ball. But they are world class in their own way at 1 v 1 defending. Both can be used in a possession based side quite easily.
Out of possession it'd look something like this:
Then in possession it'd be:
Whenever we start to push up the pitch, AWB would slip into a back 3 where he can utilise his strengths, whereas Shaw will become more of a press-resistant passing option in midfield.
Honestly, you will never find that working at any club. Take this further -- why not then apply this at the workplace? Who decides who a 'dickhead' is? How do you define a dickhead?
How much would you price Mason Greenwood? (We may sell him in 12 months time.)
