Gutted but those figures are ridiculous and we need a rebuild. Ziyech, Telles, a CB a RW and a ST and I think we are capable of competing. Especially if they are invested effectively as the former 2 (should we pull Telles off) For some bizzare reason praise of Odoi is treated as an unpopular opinion these days but I feel we're in for a breakthrough from him next season/restart of this. In January he really stepped up a level and i think/hope he will carry that on when we restart. NikkiCFC, DDA and Strike 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can feel it in my fingers, I can feel it in my toes! Watch out for RLC too. He is going to tear shit up. I'm too excited.

Jog on mate He's twice the player CHO "could" have been pre-injury, so it isn't far off the thinking of some. I strongly disagree with this absurd statement. I know it may be difficult to remember quite how electrifying Odoi was pre injury but he was showing signs of insane match impacting showmanship. He was tearing teams up with bursts of pace that akin to Mbappe. Ontop of witch he could pick a pass with zero struggle. If he had started his career in the Bundesliga with Dortmund, he would be going to Madrid or Barca this summer, not Man U-fucking'Nited.

I really hope he sticks to the right hand side, his link up play with James is genuinely sensational. Telepathic understanding between players is an overused phrase at times but it's no exaggeration with those two. I know that brings an issue with where does Ziyech go, if we don't sign a new striker I genuinely wouldn't mind trying him out as a false 9, unlike Hazard and Schurrle (who weren't suited to it) I think he has the skillset to play that role, and given he's played at CAM/CM before gives us an extra body in the middle when we need it.

Agreed on Odoi but I'm not a fan of the false 9 set up. It's going to be interesting to see how Frank integrates Odoi, Ziyech, Puli, RLC a new striker, maybe Coutinho next season. I think he will have some selection headaches, which isn't always a bad thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he will have some selection headaches, which isn't always a bad thing. I actually think it's a pretty rewarding system if you can get it right (changed my mind in recent years as I wasn't a fan initially). With it becoming harder and harder to find truly reliable strikers it's one way to negate that problem. Liverpool are the biggest poster boys towards how good it can look with the right player playing the role, remember when they brought Firmino on in the super cup? It genuinely felt like they brought on an extra man. I feel Hakim unlike our previous attempts will have a better understanding of when to drop and when to go, which Eden and especially Schurrle never really mastered. And also not to mention we will have a lot more goals elsewhere this time round compared to when we tried it with them two. CHO, Pulisic, new winger, Mason and Ruben will probably produce about 50-60 goals between them and that's before we even factor how many Tammy or Hakim himself will get.

Giroud was also the competition's top scorer if you forgot. I and many others don't believe the hype around CHO.When/if he ever delivers note worthy numbers, I might reconsider.

NikkiCFC 8,324 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I also got impression over the years that UTD fans are most deluded group in football... Mikel, Robben, Kezman, Hazard, Ziyach, Ballack, Kovacic, Pedro... All players who had chosen us over them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoroccanBlue 5,382 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Both are a pipe dream in today's market. I'd much rather rely on youth and getting absolute steals in transfers like Ziyech moving forward. Much more stable and long term.

We are lucky to have got Ziyech for such little money, we will have to spend big at some point if we want to remain with the top boys of Europe.
