what has he achieved over lingard ffs? Lingard has even better YT showreel than Embolo and has palyed in the fecking premier league, some people should get a grip, Embolo is super raw and only would be one for the future if we are even interested. I doubt he's martial potential and doubt that 95% of ppl saw him play here more than from YT video and a game in EUROs, he could be any good from Zaha to Welbeck level and if he's better than okay but even Depay failed and looked like a world class potential player and his pathetic performances didn't even guaranteed him to start over Lingard..
Breel Embolo | Signed for Schalke

I don't even rate this guy above Januzaj. This is going to be a long summer. One of those cuadrado transfers.
I don't really care how you feel about Embolo but lingard is absolutely rubbish imo. Offers nothing.. I don't actually slag off our own players but lingard shouldn't be in our team. Happy he scored our winner but sell him this window
I wouldn't argue with m1y2 over Lingard as he has a strange obsession with him.
I'm not convinced I like his name all that much - it sounds too similar to Ebola. Is that reason enough not to want him? I don't like my name either, so there's nothing racist about it - just wanting to get ahead of the politically correct brigade holding their torches lit high on the barricades of internet compassion, understanding and enlightenment. That being said, is he any good?
Hahaha he sounds knowledgeable.
At least with Embolo there's immense potential, heard good things from people who actually watch them week in week out. Lingard is just not good enough, if he wasn't a local no one at all would want him
He starts tonight.
Starts up top tonight, it ill be a good test for him against one of the better teams of the tournament.
Make us proud Embolo 
Make us proud Embolo
Hope he scores!
Love his chant, even though I understand only the ”Oh Embolo” part.
He looks massive
Looking forward to seeing him in action against the tournament hosts. Good test for him.
Should have done better considering how much space he had there.
Good clearance off the line from not Embolo!
It means "In the Nati (short form for the swiss national team), the Swiss Nati, there is Breel at home. In the Nati, the Swiss Nati, there is Breel at home. Oh Embolo. Oh Embolo. Etc."
10 mins in and hasn't done a thing do not want.
Nothing about Embolo looks good enough for Man Utd. Fabrizio Romano tweeted today that Utd haven't actually bid for him, just talked to his agent about his plans for the future. I'd imagine that's as far as things have gotten. All this stuff about Embolo arriving next week? Shades of the Gaitan speculation.
Drumming up some media attention to help his client get noticed and an actual bid. Even his highlight reel looks poor.
Pogba looks like hes up for it though and is showing his class so far.
He's shit. Buy Pogba.
Showed strength there. He's got potential.
Edit: just done something shit lol

Followed by a bit of a bambi moment....
Constantly looks off the pace and has a poor touch. Rooney Mode.
I don't remember the last time I am watching a player, trying to understand the hype and hoping he would do something that shows he has potential. He looks like a physical beast, and funnily enough is still getting bullied by Rami and Kosh.
Plays like an even more unpolished Zaha.
Tony V's dribbling is at least a level up from Embolo's. His close control is abysmal.
I know he's a bairn and I know this is a tournament, which is probably not the best platform to judge a player but there's nothing I've seen that makes me think, yeah, I hope we get him.
Yeah he clearly isn't good enough lads. On the other hand, Pogba looks like a world beater. So, off to the Pogba thread then. Unless Embolo scores a goal or grabs an assist, in which case I shall return to talk Embolo up again.
Could be a long night but no one said being a fickle football fan was easy!

Did you see what he did to Pogba?
Least we know he can carry Pogba.
Are we still in for this guy? He's class.
Did you see what he did to Pogba?
Manlove between two future club mates perhaps.
Barely looks like a footballer.
He's basically Welbeck when he was younger, no real outstanding talents but good work rate.
EDIT: I would much rather have Ounas over him, he is clearly talented.

Not the best first half from him, but he'll get better in the second
Basically every player on the pitch bar Pogba haven't been great. Also the pitch is terrible

he should have gone to play rugby, very raw for a footballer if I'm lenient
He's inexperienced and not a prodigious player, so he will need a hell of a lot of game time from the developmental aspect.
I just don't see why or how he'd get that here - if we were to purchase him, surely he'd be sent straight out on loan?
Rashford is better in every single aspect except strength, so any time the two of them weren't starting, Rashford would warrant the playing time and development, not Embolo.

Don't want to be to judgemental as it's the first time I've watched him but he looks all size, no technique. Could also be down to the fact that he's seemingly wearing flipflops in a football match.
