Angel Gomes Watch

Heard we were 3-0 up and wanted to see the second half. Good lad, Angel.
 
How was he allowed to leave on free? He may not have been good enough for United 3 years ago, and maybe he won't be in the future, as well, but he was an asset, clearly valuable asset, in retrospect. There is no way he should have been allowed to go on free. The multitude of ways this club was mismanaged is absolutely insane.

Imo, him leaving was better for everyone.

If he'd stayed, he would have had a couple of failed loan moves and probably been sold for a small fee a year ago.

Him being able to have some stability has allowed him to properly develop and means he is now a far better player. If we can get him back in January or the summer for a decent fee, that would be an ideal scenario.
 
Last thing we want is another weak as piss midfielder to get pushed off the ball. Can we start building a team of monsters please.

It worked out so well with Maguire, McTominay and Weghorst as our spine :lol:

Seriously though, I agree. We need much more presence and physicality in our team. Amadou Onana was available for some time but we decided to wait until Villa had all but signed him before we made an approach. I also think we're just going after lightweight attackers. Garnacho, Amad, Antony etc. They just fall to ground so easily, it's ridiculous. Where are the Salahs and Manés?
 
I know a friend of his and asked him if he would come back, and he said yes without hesitation!
I would have expected as much but it's good to hear that. Think he'd be a really good option for us in the centre of the park.
 
Not what we need, we need physical strength as well as technical ability in a cm not one or the other but both.

Totally agree. Would sign Angel as a backup rotation player but thats why he left in the first place. We already have Mainoo who is physically stronger and technically as good
