  1. Perfect start to building an offensive minded team in my opinion. Him and Christensen back there. Dave can whip in a cross or play any of the wing back positions. It would honestly set up our defence for the next 5 to 10 years. Bonucci could be a good stop gap until the next decent prospect comes along. Seems we are linked there as well.

  2. We need a beast in the back. Terry used to be it and then Luiz but we are lacking the physicality back there now. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk
  3. Would anyone be against going after Mkhi if United want to get rid of him? Quick on the ball, doesn't mind having a crack, is a great passer of the ball and is far more dynamic than Cesc. Feel he would lift the tempo slightly of the side, which is what we need. Try and get Martial off them as well, and send them Willian who Jose desperately wants.
  4. Perfect player to have come off the bench and tear the defence apart after 75 minutes. Has pace and is far more direct than Willian. Need to get rid of some of these players who are responsible for this lackluster, slow type of play. Willian being a main culprit with his excessive stationary stepovers and holding onto the ball.
  5. Exactly the type of player we need. Someone who actually runs at defences and forces them to react. Our team currently is content with passing the ball around the outside and waiting. Moses is the only one who actually tries to run at defences but he really isn't cut out for it unless the gaps are there. I was told how average Sane was before he went to City, and how we wouldn't need him, and you look at him on that City team and what a game changer he is... Don't want to let another opportunity slip.
  6. One of the best CB's in the PL. People acting as if he is just above average simply because he went to a rival. He is a walk in for any team in the league.
  7. Thought he was impressive in his last game. Offers far more than Alonso on the field in terms of link up, getting forward, and sure as hell doesn't get burned for pace consistently. But then again, Alonso can take the best free kick in the world, so have to keep him out there in case we get anything near goal, right?
  8. Where is this fantasy to go to United coming from for all these players? They have a negative manager, play a negative brand of football and have won diddily squat recently. How is it that we can't attract any decent quality?
  9. I've honestly been more impressed with Michy as of late than Morata. He needs to improve his finishing with the feet, and also his touch.
  10. Am I the only one who thinks Malcom looks bang on average?
  11. Great goal. Alonso might be the best free kick taker in the world, but I hope him scoring these goals doesn't mask the fact that his position is the one we need to fix the most and quickest.
  12. Some of you are criticising Baka but he has been better than Cesc and Kante so far. He is far more limited and probably deserves to go off on that merit in a game like this, but he hasn't been bad at all given what he is as a player. And anyone that mentions Alonso being a better wingback than Moses needs their head checked. I actually can't stand watching Alonso waste every attack we have.
  13. I've actually been extremely bored during our last two games. Never has that been the case. Even when we were dreadful a couple seasons back. Whatever that means...
  14. We struggle to break down teams who sit back. Doesn't matter who we put on the field. Players just pass the ball around the box and no one shoots. All our goals are the same. Cesc with the lob ball over the top. No creativity.
  15. Would love him on our team. Offer the boy triple what he is getting at the Spurs, and just get him over here.
  16. The more I think about it, the more I like this move. People are constantly obsessed with world class at every position, but it really isn't a mandatory part if the player fits how he should. Dembele for Barca isn't some world beater. Sterling at City, Sane too, and even Salah at Liverpool aren't over the top great players, but they look spectacular allowed to play the right way. I really think Zaha will add some directness to our play, and possibly get the ball up quicker than what we do now. Not to mention, he is extremely strong for a winger which is always a plus. Finishing was always his biggest weakness, but seems to be putting it together a bit in that department too. Would not mind at all if we ended up getting this one done. I'm a bit tired of seeing Willian hold the ball up on the wings, and Pedro run around like a headless chicken at times.
  17. Where would you play him? One thing I've disliked about our recent teams is our lack of physicality in the midfield. Even when Matic was here, he was strong, but we'd still get bullied by the likes of Tottenham and Man City. Verratti doesn't help that, but obviously a decent player. I just don't see him making a huge difference to our team.
  18. Bring him to replace Cesc.
  19. I think if he did come here, he'd be our best CB (bar Azpi, but he isn't exactly a natural CB). Saying that though, we are well organised at the back IMO, and really don't concede a whole lot, even given our deficiencies on the left side. We should rather spend some money upgrading Willian, Pedro and Fabregas.
  20. Everton played like a bunch of pansies. No other words can describe that match. Sure, we could be better, but fark... they parked a massive bus and didn't even try to attack. Honestly one of the most boring matches I've ever watched.
  21. Zouma isn't good enough. We have Christensen and Azpi as rocks back there. VVD and Varane would be great, then Azpi can go back to the right side.
  22. I probably agree with this point of view. Intentions matter. But then again, nothing really offends me. I think society as a whole today always looks to divide from each other. People seem to complain a lot about "stealing of culture" these days, which I don't understand. Someone from a different ethnic group does something typical of another ethnic group, and instead of celebrating general human interest and coming together, people complain. I come from one of the most war torn countries in the history of earth, probably seeing its longest time of peace and prosperity if you could call it that. I still have idiots my age in their 20's when I meet them talking about Serbs this, Croat this, Bosnian this... I couldn't care less. Particularly because it didn't affect me, and I have to sit here and pretend to care that your ancestors hated their ancestors and you somehow hate them because of what? There was even outrage when Nick Cannon did whiteface. I'm honestly wondering who? Who out there cares for that one.
  23. They have far more top shelf talent than we do on the attacking side. Aguero and KDB aside, young talent which will continue to develop such as Sane and Sterling, as well as David Silva. I feel as if we'd need 2 more top signings to be there in terms of talent if we get Lemar and Sandro.
  24. Are these the same people that said Sane wasn't that good? Glad we didn't get him... I've actually seen a bit of Lemar, and every time I have, I walked away impressed. I guess people expect us to buy Dybala, Mbappe, Asensio types. Let me know how that goes.
