The Manchester United Thread

Hes a solid defender but no more for me. The rest of his game is poor. And people have started to overhype him due to his performances in Italy the defenders great place. Yes he is better than Jones and Rojo but that’s nothing proud of either. He’s not happy being a squad player and obviously wants to leave. Get him gone get get his wages off the bill and bring in a replacement.

Same goes for Rojo, Jones, Periera! Then hopefully Mata and Lingard in the next windows.
 
Be 2 huge signings for the women’s team!



As for Manchester United, the entire women’s soccer world is waiting for the Red Devils to announce the signings of U.S. stars Tobin Heath and Christen Press. Multiple sources have told The Inquirer this week that the expectation is the deal will be announced before Sunday’s game, and it could be as soon as Friday.
Don’t take that as an absolute, because between travel and paperwork there are still things to take care of. The players will also have to quarantine for two weeks in England when they arrive, so don’t try guessing when they might debut.

Don't forget Smalling also looked good for Roma which doesn't say much for a league which has always been a defenders dream.

I most look at PL and love the league. But sorry the hate in understanding that other leagues are **** and theyr guys who leave and perform better is only down to the league not the surrounding environment in PL.

Pretty much what I said? We need four senior CBs, considering the fact that among the three regular ones we have, one is injury/suspension prone. And out of the remaining lot, I would definitely keep Smalling. I'm not talking about this basis his Italy performances, either. Jones is the better defender, but he has spent more time injured than he has on the pitch, probably. So, yeah, Smalling. He's a decent defender.

Also, the profile we were looking for is a tough defender, able to stand his ground while being decent aerially. Smalling fits the bill. He can't do much else, but eh.

He is not okay being rotation, good on him. That being said, hope we go in for a CB too, if we are sending all of them out. If we actually manage to get 20 Mn for him, that'll be an amazing deal.

Also, Lingard is in the final year of his contract (we have the option of another year), so this is the year to sell him. Same for Mata, although he may move on at the end of the year. If we actually get Lingard, Pereira, Jones, Rojo, Romero and Smalling off the books while bringing in a CB (among others), that'll be fantastic business for the window.

Also CBs we have been linked with have all been good with there feet which Smalling is not the best.

Yeah, but all links seem fruitless now. Had been linked with Upamecano, Gabriel and Badiashile. None seem happening at the moment, basis reports. Also, Upamecano is a right footed CB, so that was somewhat puzzling, since we ideally need someone to play on the left. Some reports have us linked to Torres and Skriniar, but unsure of the veracity of the same.

Supposedly Reguilon has been offered to us by Madrid, what do you guys think to him? I've not seen him play much but in that game against Sevilla when we played, we tore them apart so many times and created endless chances. In other words, I didn't see anything to be that impressed about, even Madrid fans say he's better going forward than defensively.

He was on a list of three all on a similar level we earmarked for LB competition this window along with Lewis and Tsim .... Nick the Greek.

So L'pool highly rated him for what that's worth.

Yeah he’s decent but he’s been way overhyped due to the fact most don’t like Shaw. He’s not that great defensively and his end product is a bit better than Shaw. Not saying he won’t improve. And he’s been offered at a good fee and could potentially end up better than Shaw. But that’s a big if atm. And they reported want a buy back clause which is a big no from me.

I would rather take a punt on Lewis. Cheaper and more willing to be back-up, although still has to develop more compared to Reguilon.

Reguilon is very good when attacking but very suspect on defence, compared to Shaw (what ToD said). At the price mentioned, Lewis is a cheaper alternate. If there's a buyback clause, **** no. First option + profit clause - maybe.

Yeah would of loved us to take a look at Lewis as a cheap back up option. Same would of likely happened to us though. As soon as the Utd tax and Utd buying English tax kicks in, it would be about 40m

Even then, it'd be around the range of 15 Mn - I'd take it. While Reguilon has been offered, I sincerely doubt Madrid lets him off easy. Definitely don't want the sort of deal that happened with Morata and Juventus - fixed buyback rate.

Also, it's mad that they're putting him on sale. Marcelo is getting on in age, and while Ferland Mendy is present, they will need someone to compete for places next year. It's more likely a loan deal again for Reguilon - maybe to Sevilla for one more year.

It’s basically a loan either way with a but back clause likely fairly low. And Pool were quoted 20m£ for Lewis so it would likely have been more for us lol. And he’s not worth that.

He's much more of an attacking threat than both Williams and Shaw which we honestly need. His overlapping runs caused AWB a lot of issues in that game and has the end product to boot. For a decent fee around €25 million, I'd sign him
