Tiemoue Bakayoko

[BigMabz 61]

I wonder if Bakayoko could be a temporary stop-gap while RLC is recovering. Probably a really useful player early on in the season if the next manager can tap into his athleticism and physical attributes. Could he be a poor mans RLC? Bursting runs and using his strength to be a presence in the midfield?

Maybe.... Maybe not....But I do think he could be a useful squad player next season.

I'd rather give that to Mount.

The problem with having liabilities in the roster, in my book having a poor first touch qualifies, is that they eventually end up playing.

Unless it is Drinkwater, lol

FFS can we just dump him, do not care what we get for fee as long as it it around £15m to £20m , and get his crazy wages off our books

Bakayoko seems a luxury player

as we already have seven potential (actually 10 if you go deep) MF'ers NOT counting Baka

Jorginho

Ampadu (if not loaned out) who can play DH DMF or straight DMF as well

Kante

Kovacic

Mount (if not loaned out)

RLC

Barkley

 

not to mention Marco van Ginkel  (needs to be sold if finally healthy, plus he turns 27 in 5 months, so not like he has a decade of footie ahead) and the above-mentioned Donkeywater (turns 30yo in March, so REALLY needs to be sold NOW, what a fucking disastrous almsot £70m move by Marina the puppet), and also Lewis Baker (sell please, he turns 25 next April and is clearly not to Chels level)

 

Just say NO to BakayoKO

sell baby sell, IMHO (unless Lamps has some bizarre plan for him, which I cannot see, as he will NEVER be close to Essien level, let alone the god-like Makélélé)

I wouldn't mind giving Baka another chance to become a rotational option. 

Look at Sissoko for Spuds. Everyone laughed at him and thought he was a clown. He was labelled a massive bust of a signing by Spuds. Remember when Eric Dier was the next hot thing for both Spuds and England? Sissoko came in for the injured Dier if I recall correctly, was given massive incidence, and is now one of the first names on their team sheet. Dier was nearly irrelevant for them last season.

Maybe if Baka feels the "love," gains confidence, and plays alongside players to mask his deficiencies he can be a valuable member of the squad. When we need a super physical team for a particular opponent a midfield 3 containing him may prove useful, who knows.

[MoroccanBlue 5,297]

Sissoko is a shambles. Cost Spurs the CL and the amount of sitters I've seen him miss is astounding.

Haha yeah I thought bout him when writing.

we did a good job limiting his playing time... it’s a hard thing to do esp when a new manager comes along and asks, “what about that guy?”

heh sissoko is a poor player and definitely one of the players holding them back. And still a lot better, skill wise, than bakayoko.

How many midfielders do psg want lol I'll be very suprise if utd try signing him  fingers crossed we get back what we paid for him 

[Special Juan 27,425]

And they have just signed that fraud Herrera.

[LAM09 6,744]

I'd say these were just rumours, but Utd did overpay for a past it Matic. They have money to burn.

[!Hazard! 3,394]

United keep buying overpriced players that can only barely play football. In that sense this buy would not be a surprise

[1905didierblue 748]

If united actually buy him, we should sell them DD for free. As a good will.

Oh Yes. Forgot that he was a united youth product.

Would be a "Homecoming" them.
