Still think there was something fishy going on with him behind the scenes, but who knows. Really thought he could secure a much better move than this.
Tyrell Malacia | Manchester United player | Is in the 25/26 squad
- Thread starter Berbaclass
- Start date
At the least you'd have thought a Dutch club would be in for him.
Or did just once have a half decent game against ETH's Ajax and that was more than enough for Ten Hag and our scouts to buy him.
Its probably issues with longetivity and fitness. He was out a long time and didnt play much on his loan last season. Not too many clubs want to take a chance on the unknown its understandable
Respectfully, I totally disagree. If we sign a Malacia every year for a decade (at £7m a pop) we only need one to come good to cover the £70m outlay.
I am frequently lamenting that we pursue the strategy you've stated over just taking a punt on a player. In recent memory we did this exact thing with Caicedo.
Look at some of the absolute dross we've signed to effectively become squad players at great expense. Surely better to pay the big bucks on the targeted, scouted, data-backed players and then introduce risk into the rest of the squad.
A good example, IMO, is Ayden Heaven. Very cheap signing. If he doesn't work out as a top level United player we will likely still make a profit on him. Better than having spent however much we did on Lindelof who was better but not by the degrees of magnitude necessary.
We are a big club in reputation but not in sporting terms. No point playing by the same rules as City and Liverpool, we are blessed with the opportunity to take risks on players.
It’s very very odd. He won the league with PSV last year albeit a squad player he still made 13 appearances between Feb and May with the small fee were apparently asking it should have been an easy sell
Probably digging his heels in and not moving because he knows his best bud Rashford is on his way back
I'm convinced this guy doesn't exist, he never played for us. It's all a big lie.
We have a 50m pound specialist, combative, international centre midfielder in Ugarte who is deemed by most as not being of sufficient quality to make the progression into a reliable DM, so the chances of a knackered and rubbish left back, who has spent two years out with injury and couldn’t break into the PSV team being able to succeed where he failed is implausible to the point of being not worth mentioning. Even if he once played there “a bit” when he was younger
Reading some of the posts suggesting similar, you’d think that being a DM essentially revolves around a players ability to run around a decent amount and being physical. If that was the case we could kept Antony and turned him into world class holding midfielder. Malacia, for what it’s worth, can hardly even run around anymore, not since his injury. Not that that is the biggest problem with this “plan”.
I don’t think it’s gonna happen as I think injuries have done him in
But by all accounts he did well for Feyenoord there where he had instructions to progress the ball
But look I only threw it out there as an extreme emergency where perhaps Casemiro & Ugarte are injured. What’s our plan B, C, D etc
This guy is a mystery. I have never seen a player injured for 18 months! This is even much longer than any of Phil Jones or Like Shaw long list of injuries.
It was a bit of a disaster. He went outside of the club to get a surgery on a relatively straight forward injury. Started rehab. Got pretty far into rehab and they realized they needed to redo the surgery entirely. Which meant he had to redo the rehab. Then there were set backs.
Lost a huge amount of time
Eyupspor sounds like Big Sam moved to Turkey and took over a club.

If I remember correctly the surgery was not to a great standard and left lots of debris in the knee that made things worse.
I'm not sure what the club's liabilities are in cases such as this where the player selects the medical facility
Any half decent doctor would not cause a player out for 18 months. Something mysterious and suspicious on this case.
Even Shaw's double leg break (doctor said almost lost his leg) he was out only about 12 months.
Malacia's injury nowhere near as bad.
Everyday Malacia
Eyup-suppose
He played well for multiple seasons at Feyenoord, became international for the Netherlands and was ready for a step up
There’s most likely only 3 Dutch clubs that can afford him. PSV doesn’t want him. Feyenoord doesn’t need him and Ajax isn’t an option
Performance wise he was way of the mark. He lost his spot and was really not good enough, even for PSV
I dont actually think he was a bad signing.
Even the games he played for us he never stunk up the place albeit not spectacular either.
Would be a solid squad player still if not for the injuries and surgery botch up.

Well, we don’t know do we? None of us know the full extent of the injury or what the issue with the surgery was. It’s not exactly “suspicious”
He could have been fine if we played with a left back, but we don’t so there’s absolutely no point in him being here.
Yeah, he was a relatively cheap punt, who had some pretty good games and some pretty bad ones, then suffered from serious injury problems.
Just looking at his club stats, for 17 of the last 18 years he's hit more than 20 goals. And the one before that he hit 17. Obscene longevity
Edit: went all opta at the end there

Thats mad for Malacia, we should keep him - insane stats since he was 8!
I'm so confused.
Should of never signed Sesko and just put Malacia up front.
He's talking about Ronaldo, I think.
You have to laugh at how many rejects are in the squad that we're still selling players after the window shut.
Back then he was gonna be the end of Dalot's career at United.
Hardly. One of them is a left back. The other, a right back.
What the feck. I was definitely just in the lewandowski thread
I even read the post above mine just before hitting post. wtf!Sounds like a Turkish side from Yorkshire
Most thieves break into shops when they're closed, then loot the place for all it's worth.
We do the exact opposite. We break in and try to leave some of our shit there. It's a new kind of crime.
According to the muppetiers his knee is shot. I believe that the guy's football career is finished and he will probably do a Phil Jones
What can the club do about it? We've got pieces of work on silly salary that no one wants. Most would rather dig their heels and risk ending up in the reserves rather then not maximizing on what they can take. Hence why we end up in this silly situation time and time again
I would give benefit of the doubt to any doctor as its so far outside my comprehension. However, he chose to work with his own doctor not one sponsored by the club, so I can sort of see why the club aren't interested in his services
Any reason why turkish clubs have been so active/flush with cash?
I don't think he was complaining, it's just quite funny.
If that’s true I feel sorry for the lad
I think it's mainly the salaries they offer, lesser taxes means more take-home pay for the players.
I think he meant where are Turkish clubs getting all this money from.
Balding brits getting hair transplants.
