So Fred can't handle the physicality, but Longstaff can. And Garner won't be able to because of Fred's height even though Garner is as tall as Longstaff.
Actually now you mention it on present form I would not take either into Leicester's starting 11 alone; Schmeichel is more consistent than De Gea and Pogba would be poisonous for our team of enthusiastic but impressionable youngsters.
In my post I wrote a needlessly excessive amount on why your midseason bounce under Solskjaer shouldn't be counted towards your assertion that you will be better than the likes of ourselves next season, any more than Leicester's title win under Ranieri could towards the assertion that we would retain it the following year. Here are the points fewer you achieved than the aforementioned sides if we take away the Cardiff->PSG Solskjaer bounce:
Yeah take out the wins and we are worse.
Hamilton???? Give over.
I's be certain Hamilton and Traore have zero bearing on first team planning. Did you just pick out two random midfielders from the younger ranks?
Neither Traore nor Hamilton will make it at United. Besides Gomes and Greenwood (and possibly Chong) I can only see Garner Laird and Levitt making it with Williams and outside chance
I think it's fairly obvious that Hamilton and Traore won't make it here.
Gaitan of 2019
Looking forward to posting on their boards when they are 14th next April.
They're still worse than us, and have little to shout about themselves.
What?
They seem to have a massive chip on their shoulder, not sure what about though, strange.
Echo these complaints before the market the availability of players: Rabiot, Ndombele, Tielemans, Neves, Rice. Of all some have moved and others there's no credible links. It's absolutely ridiculous, if Solskjaer has turnt down multinational professionals in favour of English invidiuals he's a nob head.
Yes bringing in some hungry young English talent to supplement the squad is fine - but if we are ignoring proven international MF options that were available just to stick to this policy religiously that would be completely nuts and would yet again proove the lack of football nowse of Woodward and the those managing and making strategic decisions at this club.
Isn’t that the case with every rumour/potential transfer until you actually see the player literally signing on the dotted line?
The state of this post. We have signed 2 British players in this window, Dan James who was a cheap punt and AWB who was clearly the best available option for a position of enormous need. We are currently linked to Ben Yedder, Fernandes, Tielemans and Olmo, none of whom grew up in Essex as far as I can tell. Not everyone thinks Ndombele is gods gift, I certainly don't and am not bothered we were not in for him and Rabiot was never picking Manchester and the Europa League over Turin, the Champions League and guaranteed league titles.
Wouldn't have thought so, Ashley is a greedy cnut and probably has little to no intention of putting the money back in the club.
Both those links seem to be a but flimsy too. Every few weeks they say we'll bid for Longstaff, then there's a brief from Newcastle saying they haven't heard anything from us and the player wants to stay, followed by silence. Rinse and repeat.
Hahahahaha if it helps you sleep better at night.
Then Skriniar for Lukaku + Darmian, and our summer didn't turn out so bad after all.
Not really because you can never guarantee that when signing anyone. There might also be a chance he'll be just another useless signing that will end up being sold to some mid table side for half the fee.
The other option is Matic, so he has to make it in regular line up. If your good enough you are ready.
One season and he'll be 50 m like Rice. I think the money he is being quoted in the press is a fair price for a talent.
He looks pretty decent. Let's be honest Fred and Pereira are no great shakes and I can't decide if matic is unmotivated or just past it. There's a lot of mid table premier league midfielders who'd get games here so there's no point turning our noses up at promising youngsters when what we've got in the main isn't anything special.
