Manchester United Thread 25/26 - Teamtalk/Transfers/Gossip Mod Note in OP 26.09.24

Garnacho should be 100m Euro or nothing. Guaranteed if we were asking for him from Napoli it would be at least that. If we sell him to Chelsea, there should be riots.

INEOS really starting to make every bad decision possible. They better have a wild summer lined up with incomings.

Ronaldo 😉

Yeah Amad, you’d probably be going back to 1999 then to Silvestre.

Darmian and Blanc were good squad depth additions tbf and Romero was probably the best back up keeper for most of his time here. Romero had such a fcukin mad career.

That one definitely made us worse!

And Silvestre I never really rated, although he was decent squad player for a long time, before going to Arsenal which amused me.

Anyone with doubts about the 343 or 3421 system should watch B Lev v Ath Mad...though it's gone to 11 v 10 last 10 mins

Couple of things very noticable...back 3 play a really high line prob 15 - 20 yds higher than we do. Secondly the movement of there players is night and day with ours. The biggest difference is the speed of pass...a lot of first time forward passing...our players take 3 or 4 touches before passing and it's killing us

And that from a team with very few household names. You don't need world class players to be able to play a system that requires a good work rate and quick movement of the ball

If players are not willing to adapt RA is right to show them the door

Put yourself in the players boots. Would you be keen to go back to a club that didn't have confidence in you to play, despite not having any viable options in that position.

If I was him, I wouldn't entertain the thought of going back tbh. His career is starting to take off, I doubt he will want to change anything for the next few years.

Wrong Thread

tbf we didn't play with wing backs and Alvaro was a bit dodgy when it came to actually defending as an LB. It was still a true ETH transfer masterstroke to cash in on him but the only saving grace IS the buy back clause that can fix that disaster.

He'd be better, instant first choice, count as Homegrown I believe, and cost half what Dorgu will, its an absolute no brainer.

Just because we had some youth players who flopped doesn't mean they all will. Rashford and a lot of the other players have gotten 5-8 years, to "come good". Garnacho isn't even given time to develop. Sets a **** precedent and doesn't reflect the youth value of the club. Give him 2 more years and if he hasn't stepped up, sell him for 30-40m.

Garnacho made his debut 4 seasons ago, this is his 3rd season as a senior player. I know he is young but he has had 120 senior games to show his worth, there is a sample size there to look at.

He has produced moments and he does have talent, but he is also very selfish and doesn't seem to be progressing or changing much at all. He doesn't appear to fit the new managers style and doesn't appear to be evolving to try and solve that problem.

There also appears to be questions about mentality. Forget the dressing room leaks for now, this is also a player who got upset because fans were mean to him. When we desperately need to change the player culture, what I see from Garnacho concerns me quite a bit to be honest. I'm not convinced he has the winners mentality needed.

He is a very sellable asset, there is interest there in him, and his sale would be a huge boost to PSR.

I'd like to keep the best players at United same as anybody would. But from the cold, clear headed, practical point of view if there is a large bid for him then the right choice would be to take it.

Not every young player is the next Januzaj. But damn sure most of them are, and we shouldn't forget that.

100 million euro. And yes Napoli would do the same to us. Antony was close to this level.

Also Garnachos stats in the last 3 seasons are very close to Khvicha. Twice the player my arse.

If we get 55m + add ons it's a great deal and profit on a player that wasn't going to fit the system. He's not going to be a world beater like some think and another player who's attitude and twitter activity have caused issue previously

That money should immediately go towards bringing in Mbeumo or my personal preference Matheus Cunha (who's more or less been made available). I think Cunha would flourish in this system either as the no9 or one of the 10s
