Honestly I know where we are, and the fact many people seem hyped with us signing an unknown from the championship as some sort of fantastic thing is a sad indictment of where we are just now, but we need to give him a chance, but there is no way on earth that he will be a first team player for a good while yet.
What’s spoiled, petulant and clueless about saying you don’t rate a player? It called an opinion, you’ve admitted yourself you haven’t even seen him play.
I’ve seen enough to see he’s a very basic footballer, people are slaughtering Lingard for being average when in fact he’s a far better footballer than this lad. And obviously the galactico route isn’t the way way forward, we should be signing the top tier of elite young talent, turn on the Italy v Spain U21 game, you’ll see what I mean.
If he turns out to be a good signing will you admit you were wrong?
Juve, Real, Chelsea, Bayern, Dortmund, Atletico. They’ve all signed players since January for next season that will instantly be in their first team. For a club that has so many glaringly obvious weak links we have done nothing so far and no news to make me think anything will change by the first game of the season
Why have we United fan accepted this lowered standard?? It is quite clear that we won’t get top four next season unless we buy elite talents before the window close, other clubs shoot their self in the foot or Ole turns out to be a competent manager. I am used to United winning not battling for top four trophy. The club has become an embarrassment and the legends of the past... bless their souls are probably rolling over in their graves or in their sleep. I don’t think any fan will want another season in Europa League.
Really?
That's like saying being bankrupt is ok, all you need to do is invest on the right shares in the stock market
Or probably you're so fecked the only other way is up?
It's the hope that kills you
I have seen a bunch of these type of statements on here recently. Do people think we should stop trying to sign top players?I highly doubt you've even seen him if I'm honest
Oh yeah, cause signing "Elite players" has worked so well for us in recent years.
Christ, what a strange comment!
If we judge by recent success rate then we probably shouldn't sign any players at all. That's pretty much the only recruitment strategy we haven't tried yet.
Dele Alli - Was young player of the year at age 18. Was bought as a teenager.No I haven't seen him and I'm honest about it, but I'm also mature enough to not post like a spoiled petulant child and will afford the kid time and see how he does before writing him off.
Both of you are standard twittah types who will run to social media if he turns out to be a class player and say he's world class by October and pretend you always rated the kid.
And Dele Alli, sure he has just a runners up medal now.
Vardy was a Sunday league player ffs and is now a Premier League winner.
Veratti played in Serie B FFS, By your incredibly stupid judgement that lower league automatically means shit he is as well...
Kante as well... He was in League 2.
So many shite players
Just because we've bought from lower leagues doesn't mean they are automatically shite!
Really is some absolutely clueless, spoiled brats in our fan base.
So we should stop buying elite players? Because buying mediocre players is road to success?I highly doubt you've even seen him if I'm honest
Oh yeah, cause signing "Elite players" has worked so well for us in recent years.
Christ, what a strange comment!
My feeling is that there will be two other people in charge of a bigger rebuild some time in future.
It's hard to see past Fergie having some input in a rebuild, as Solskjær's mentor or otherwise.
Don’t be so dramatic. People saying it could go really badly aren’t standing on a ledge. They’re just open to the possibility of this getting really bad under a clueless CEO and inexperienced manager.
All players are available - ish. Except Sancho who Dortmund will not sell. But 90 might do it as its a ridiculous fee for a young player with 1 good season. But the team was just an example to illustrate potential purchases but still almost doable. I do not think the team will win anything for exactly the reason you stated. But we arnt getting rid or Rashford + Martial and there arnt any strikers available so 20+ goal striker is unlikely.
Are you really using Shaw and Martial as examples of when big money signings work out well?
And let's face it, the evidence of the past six seasons is on the pessimists' side.
Your team is good. If we had a real striker to put them away. We won't spend that much sadly.
I am sure we had players lined up but then march to may happened and all these targets said no thanks. We can't really blame them. If your son or client was a world class player would you advise them to go to United.
Absolutely mate, spot on attitude. We can gripe at the board for not getting shut of them when needed, and we can gripe if they make terrible mistakes consistently, but there is one thing that I will always always respect...
Big supporter of McT, but that midfield makes me want to vomit if Pogba leaves..
