Fabinho

[izec]

more and more "known sources" getting on the Fabinho bandwagon. Hope the naysayers will be happier.

Who?

A respectable voice re. Fabinho

 

[United Pro]

You've clearly never seen him play once have you

I don't agree with that whole post, but tbf to him, he's right in saying that Fabinho is a very different type of CDM to Carrick. Carrick is more of a deeplying playmaker, while Fabinho is more of a midfield destroyer.

Who?

There's nobody.

Fabinho is not a destroyer. A destroyer will be someone like Kante with immense work rate, covers a lot of ground and makea plenty of tackles. Fabinho is in between in that he does make more tackles than a DLP, but is not a destroyer as he has the composure and intelligence one would associate with a DLP. His passing range is also very underrated - it may not be as expansive as Pirlo or Carrick, but definitely better than someone like Kante, Schneiderlin etc. So, no, he is not a destroyer - more like a hybrid. A more mobile Matic if you will.

Spot on.

I think, judging on the transfer rumours, that Mourinho is building a team for Pogba to become the absolute star of the show. Nearly everyone in this lineup is industrious and it will give Pogba the freedom to play his natural game and I suspect become (post Messi and Ronny) the most marketable player in the world. The Glazers aren't stupid either, this is probably a strategy influenced by marketing ROI:


---------------Morrata------------------
----------------Belotti-------------------
--------------Rashford------------------
Perisic------------------------------Miktahryan
Martial------------------------------Linguard
-----------Pogba------Herrera---------
------------Mata------Fellaini----------
------------------------------------------
----------------Fabinho------------------
---------------- Carrick-------------------


It's also looks balanced and with good strength in depth.

It wouldn't surprise me to also see two pacey fullbacks coming in for extra depth on either flank too

Having Morata, Belotti and Rashford for one position would be just crazy, though.

 

[Adnan]

The strange thing about all this is that Fabinho isn't getting getting linked to anyone by anyone credible. It seems to be strangely quiet..

 

[Sparky Rhiwabon]

I think we'll end up signing Matic instead, once Chelsea sort out their Bakayoko deal.

 

[El-Manos]

What's good about him?

Everything.

 

[Maradona10]

He is a shit cnut. No way he knows anyone or anything at all.

Kante is a destroyer, Fabinho is nothing like that

Ok yeah I'd agree with that. However, I'd say Fabinho's passing range is similar to Kante's and Schneiderlin's though and no where near that of Pirlo or Carrick's. But, what I was saying was that Fabinho is more Keane than Scholes.

 

[el3mel]

Robson isn't really reliably after all but if we aren't going for him then what will be our midfield option ? Nainggolan ?

I'd prefer Pereira in there instead of Fellaini and Belotti wont be signed if we get Morata. We dont spend 150m on two strikers with Rashford hoping to get games as well

 

[top1whoisman]

Love MEN's dramatic headlines. "Confirmed." And then in the articles it's "sources say".

 

[el3mel]

Matic

Hope not. He's not very bad but he's at the bottom of my choices for a midfielder. There are better options than him.

It's obvious we're waiting till Chelsea tie up Bakayoko and then we get Matic. Don't know where these Fabinho rumours came from.

Lets hope we miss out on Matic and Dier and move for Fabinho then.

 

[Escobar]

I wouldnt be surprised. There were never fundamental reports or anything. That we showed an interest is no big thing

 

[el3mel]

I have no problem with Dier tbh and I won't be sad if we get him. Fabinho is number one choice of course.

Matic should be the last resort.

We need a Dm + Fabinho's comments about us + muppets wanting him = easy fabricating links and clicks

 

[ha_rooney]

Matic would probably be more expensive, older & I think his levels have dropped the last 2 seasons. Would be disappointed if we didn't get Fabinho who seems to be available for a decent fee.

 

[Red Devil Rising]

3..2..1..

Canae' take the strain lads!

 

[AndyJ1985]

Hardly surprising if we don't get him. There's never been any real news, just hopeful speculation.

 

[Maradona10]

We will get him dont worry.

 

[gr3yham3]

Well well, not the first time English journos have said we are not interested in so-and-so. I still trust di marzio more than them.

 

[JoaquinJoaquin]

Hope to god we don't ignore Fabinho and go on to sign Dier.

 

[Morpheus 7]

This. Who the feck trust's the MEN, as credible as the metro they days. The real reliable links for us are abroad.

 

[Adisa]

Would piss me off if we sign Native.

 

[pocco]

Jose must have seen the first leg vs City.

I've read a lot of supporters hyping up this guy beyond belief recently and I couldn't help but think he's become overrated on here. Not that he isn't a good player but i think there's alternatives to him that would probably do just as well.

 

[Devil may care]

This is a strange one, I don't want Matic or Dier here but even if I did I don't see any reason either Spurs or Chelsea would do business with us.

 

[STLCARDS]

I just hope this gossip from Metro is baseless –

http://metro.co.uk/2017/06/13/manch...ic-after-ruling-out-fabinho-transfer-6705462/

Matic is past his peak and buying him would be a step away from building a strong future. If we aren't buying Fabinho, we should rather go with Dier.

 

[The red panther]

Chelsea will get Bakayogo, Matic will want out, Chelsea sell to us and still manage to get a very good deal at £40m, Mourinho gets a player he likes and knows well but will have little long term value for United. I'd say this transfer is happening.

 

[Adam-Utd]

MEN saying we want Matic. I find that VERY hard to believe.

First of all he down tooled for Mourinho, Chelsea won't sell him cheaply, they hardly have cover for DM as it is.

I just can't see it happening.

If Chelsea were willing to sell to us it tells you everything about why we shouldn't be interested.
