There was a tactic to play vs Barca, block everyone but Semedo, let him do what ever with the ball but not to pass to someone else, and he would always lose the ball...Seen a full season of Wan Bissaka miss controlling the ball.
Would Barcelona, City, Liverpool, Chelsea Madrid Bayern etc want a player like Wan Bissaka? He's not good enough on the ball to play this level. All he has is a good tackle. That's not enough.
sorryAnyone else gullible enough to fall for this other than me?
I think he’d definitely do better in a hardwired system with clear plays and instructions than the more fluid freedom the larger teams have with their forward players.I think James could be a good player with the right coaching. Someone like Bielsa or Rodgers.
It's very hard to believe that Spurs will try to sign Lingard to replace Alli unless if they sell Alli for 50m or 60m. If they sell Alli for only 30m and spend 20m on Lingard makes no sense to me for Levy to do this business for just 10m profit. But if it happens we got an amazing deal in our hand here.Tweet

We'd be lucky to get half that. Especially in a market that's so conservative right now.We could be getting 50m for Lingard and James - sell Pereira too and surely that’d be enough for us to get a Sancho?
I don’t see us selling him either. He’s shown glimpses (albeit few and far between) of what he can do. I think the step up was a bit much for him at a time when United are under intense scrutiny. A season with attack minded Leeds who will expect to have big wins and losses over the course of the year could be good for him.I dont think we should sell James. He's hardly played for us. Give the lad a chance. He wasnt supposed to be a starter, was bought to be an option off the bench. Had his little purple patch last season, goes to show he has the raw talent, in a few years he'll be a decent winger. A loan would be ideal.
So instead we should keep a player who is not good enough and let their resale value erode further?We'd be stupid to sell James because then we'd have to replace him as well...

We could replace him with my dog for free, he is equally as fast and useless.We'd be stupid to sell James because then we'd have to replace him as well...
So Arsenal will get Partey then... sigh
A hoddie is interesting?
Whats the problem with it? Its just a hoody.
I have no issues with hoodies themselves (I'm a fan of them, personally). It's that he's wearing a very loose hoodie, which I haven't seen most people wear.Maybe @mazhar13 does not like Dolce and Gabbana.

The fact we only got top four in the last week of the season when the likes of Arsenal and Spurs were rubbish. Both have now strengthened greatly along with the likes of Everton and Leicester. We could easily finish 4th or 8th the way this window is going.So Arsenal will get Partey then... sigh
Romano's at it again. Literally all he does is repeat another outlets report within 20 minutes of them posting it.
Your poor dog didn’t take kindly to that remarkWe could replace him with my dog for free, he is equally as fast and useless.
Semedo cant defend to save his life. AWB is one of the best one on one fullbacks in the league.Wan Bissaka can't trap wind mate. Semedo is miles better than AWB. Even Wolves know football has changed and play with offensive full backs / wing backs.
We have two fullbacks who are pretty good defenders but which create next to nothing.
Sums up the lack of direction at the club.
Don't care. He can't play football. He's a good tackler and that's it. None of the major clubs in Europe would go near him. Is that what we've become? £50m for a slide tackle?Semedo cant defend to save his life. AWB is one of the best one on one fullbacks in the league.
Torreira + 20M for partey would equal his release clause and a good bit of business for both sides. Hopefully we have 45M more stashed somewhere for Aouar...So Arsenal will get Partey then... sigh
Wolves play with wing backs which is a much different role. Just look at how Marcus Alonso was brilliant for Conte and a liability for Lampard.Don't care. He can't play football. He's a good tackler and that's it. None of the major clubs in Europe would go near him. Is that what we've become? £50m for a slide tackle?
Full backs in modern game aren't what they were in 90's. They have to be good offensively too. Ours aren't.
Which is exactly why Barca want rid. He cannot defend to save his lifeWan Bissaka can't trap wind mate. Semedo is miles better than AWB. Even Wolves know football has changed and play with offensive full backs / wing backs.

Big teams than us have sold better players than James. A shame Liverpool didn’t think like this, they’d still be giving Lazar Markovic ‘a chance’ at this rate. Players who have joined bug teams, not been good enough and been shipped out after a tear are all over the game, and the majority haven’t done much since then.I dont think we should sell James. He's hardly played for us. Give the lad a chance. He wasnt supposed to be a starter, was bought to be an option off the bench.

Or worse, Mourinho fishing and Ed goes out to give new contract to Lingard...Does anyone think Ed might block the sale of Lingard to Totenham beacuse he thinks it is strengthing of Top 6 rival?

In this day and age its better to be a better attacker who can defend a little bit than it is to be a better defender who can attack a little bit.Semedo cant defend to save his life. AWB is one of the best one on one fullbacks in the league.
Don't agree with this but looks very much like Utd have absolutely no intention of looking at any ST until Ighalo leavesWe should ask Jovic on loan from Madrid.
