Seeing that the Griezmann deal is looking difficult for United, any interest in Dybala Ed002?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed002's Note - The problem is not going forward.}

Ah thanks Ed002.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Having checked this morning it is clear Dybala wants to move elsewhere and I suspect interest has now gone from MU. There is a quick and dirty Sharkopod coming later today.}

I thought this was interesting,

Di Maria was 'unhappy' at United
A former United translator has given two reasons why Di Maria was unhappy at the club.

Débora Gomes, told Esporte Interativo

“Firstly, he couldn’t communicate with anyone. And second because he realised the club bought him not because the club thought ‘oh, he will bring titles to us because he is a good player. ’ No. Because they simply wanted to sell his shirts.

“This I heard inside the club, the people talking. ‘Di Maria sells T-shirts, so let’s buy him’. So he was not happy.

“Then I realised, after Sir Alex Ferguson left the club, the club lost interest in football. It’s money, money, money. It’s making money and that’s it. So the players, when they try and decide who to buy, they will meticulously say: ‘what will bring more money? ’ They are not thinking of bringing joy to the fans. They are thinking of selling. ”.

Whoever came up with the bright idea should have been sacked as they sold him the season after for a big loss.

Ground-breaking stuff. An opinion of 1 person who I've never heard of with a South American sounding name.

Supasubinho.

It's obvious that we have been doing that though. Even the Javier Hernandez and Kagawa deals were based on this. I don't see a problem, by default a great name for branding is normally going to be very good at what they do.

ADM has a cheek as well, it's all about money for the club as he earns millions upon millions jumping from club-club - why isn't he plying his trade in Argentina?

God forbid the club want to make some money back from the investments they make! If half of these players actually performed how their spin masters perform for them then everyone would be a winner. ADM didn't perform because his heart wasn't in it and he was playing for the wrong type of manager - simples!

So Newcastle at the weekend. A must win game. We have plenty of prep time and can offer no excuses.
Martial and lindelof should come back bouncing after really good confidence boosting performances for their countries others should be fresh and ready to deliver. It's time to be stand up and be counted.
Imo a lot of our squad are in last chance saloon too many have been average for too long so if there is more in them then its time to start showing it or there will be a significant clear out over the next 2 windows. There are too many players hanging on and putting in 6 / 7 outta 10 performances consistently on a weekly basis we need 7 or 8 players producing 8 out of ten performances and a couple of 9's . The 'game changers / difference makers ' in our squad lukaku rash martial mata miki and the returning pogba and ibra have got to get back to producing match winning moments and creating chances for each other.
Obvoiusly i'm with the majority of posters on the full back issues that curtail our wide play and that may not be addressed until the summer so in that regard i'd like to see rashford used in a wide right position so that we would have at least 1 natural wide player comfortable going to the by line on his stronger foot.
Perhaps if we can get a left back / wb then jose will revert to a 3 5 2 which with a proper lwb would suit the squad personnel at this point very well. 3 cbs from bailly jones lindelof smalling rojo blind tuanzebe. 3 in midfield from matic pogba herrera mata miki jessie fellaini and 2 up front from rash lukaku ibra martial. A new left wb valencia young and darmian . A new lb or a miracle return to form from shaw is key to either a 352 or 4231 or any other formation. I think it's ado easy to double up on rash or martial. They lose the ball time and again but this is partly because they are operating in tight spaces. They have little or no overlapping support dragging defending players out of position and creating space and options for them. So they end up beating a man and losing the ball to the covering defender.
Pogba ability so stay on the ball does encourage players to make runs off the ball to support him. That has been missing let's hope that he can bring the best out of those around him.
Its time for this hugely under achieving squad to deliver in the epl and to improve individually as well as collectively and to maintain a high standard. if 6 or 7 of them don't show significant improvement then this time next year they will be plying their trade elsewhere.

Did Jose help you with that brick wall of text Ken?

I agree with your post mate, we need expert wide players to come in and the instruction from the manager to be "overlap, only one CM sit if absolutely necessary to protect the back 2 (or 3 if the opposite full back sits), the rest of the team attack! ".
