The Manchester United Thread

Indeed, LVG will protect him on that front, I'd be very surprised if he starts the Liverpool game tbh

Doubt he'll start but could be useful off the bench. Actually interesting how big roles Pereira and Wilson will have now. One would imagine fairly major part because we need them as rotational options/cover.

Fine, I'll leave it (Not that I was comparing the two per se. Just where they're currently at. But it's all conjecture anyways until he plays) but remember that.

Because it'll be interesting to revisit this at the season's end and see just how different (or not), the respective players seasons have been.

Probably for the best considering your continual downplaying of Sterling vs Ibe

Still curious that you think De Gea will come straight back in for that game.

You might well be right, as much as I can't see it myself for everything discussed earlier. But it'll be interesting to see what Van Gaal does there.

Henry and Redknapp were having a similar discussion earlier.

Not sure about Wilson, but AP definitely

On DDG, the stance all month has been he would play when the window closed, all things being well. so unless things change, that is the plan once he returns from Spain

Ibra didnt fancy the EPL, Lacazette and Higuain were not looking to move. Cavani would have cost almost 80m euros outright.

Come on now, people always claim they don't want to leave, but what this really means is that nobody serious came knocking. Higuain and Lacazette would swim to Manchester naked if you've actually made an offer.

And he shouldn't. I hate when managers do that to young players especially. Pressure is way too much as it is - why make it a bigger psychological problem? Well, there are others like Balotelli who don't give a ****.

and Origi scored in the world cup, doesn't prove hes still not all mostly potential and hypatheticals

Everytime I've seen Origi and this includes the WC, I've never ever been impressed with him. He runs around and doesn't do much else, that's my honest assessment, I don't see what he offers a lot of the time.

Plus didn't he recently get voted in the worst team of the year in French League last season? Nice thing to be in.

Oh Lacazette will leave, just not before the Euros. He will go after, and for a phenomenal price.

Higuain would cost incredible amounts, like Cavani. And his big game bottle record is terrifying

I'm with you on that. Play them because they are ready, not because they cost a fair whack. Though he's played in the CL so who knows?

He's with France so lets see how he handles the call up

re: Lacazette - even if he doesn't do well?

re: Higuain - lol that ******* imbecile. Still remember the Copa final.

Watched a lot more of him and I see a lot less, lol, so I completely agree.

But I wouldn't put anything on the bolded part simply because that was from L'Equipe. And if it's not PSG, it's not getting any praise regardless from that agenda filled rag.

Even he hasn't been himself this season, so that would of been a gamble with the price tag would of been massive. That's what put Arsenal off.

That's the gamble Lyon are taking. £35m now, vs maybe double that? How many youngish powerful, quick technical lone forwards are there out there?

from his perspective he doesnt want to jepardise his euro place by not settling somewhere else the year before it

 

[Mike.]

If he scores 20+ this season and gets 3 or 4 at the Euros. How much do you think he goes for aged 24?

Is that a fixed price tag (as in release clause) though? If he sucks balls and flop at Euros is it still gonna be 35?

60ish I'd say. But that ^ is a big If.

It's Lyons valuation about march (?)

Lacazette? Doesn't bear thinking about. He is a special, special talent that will be playing outside France in 2016 at a MAJOR club.

Be it in Spain or England, someone's going to pay a King's ransom for a potential World superstar return.

It will be an astronomical amount, but where do you think he will go?

Thing is he must perform at least as well as last season.
