So his agents decide his future?
Football become just a matter for who pays more.

No, agents are counsellors their job is to find and study deals for players according to players agendas.
 


The man in question even admits he gets things wrong.


Of course he does, everyone does. At this time of year I'm sure it's a nightmare trying to distinguish between truth, partial truth and flat-out lies ("disinformation") - the latter was the source for his erroneous 'Fabinho to United' story last summer.

Rather than bowing down to worship at the feet of the transfer gurus, it's best to take everything everybody says with a pinch of salt.
 
I still think a 433 might not get the best out of our players, especially the forwards. A 4312/442Diamond will be much better in my opinion, with one of the 2 forwards going out to the flanks once in while to create space, while most of the width come from our full backs.

This is the most sensible formation I have ever seen in Redcafe. That way Martial could play more centrally and nearer to goal. He is not the exact crosser we need when he is put on the left wing, full of eye-catching movements yet ineffective and inconsistent output.

Really hope Jose is going to use double strikers upfront next season.

Valencia isn't going to be benched, there are positions with more urgent need of replacing.

YOu dont think Valencias position is in dire need of replacing? I think both full back positions should be one of our top priorities.
 
Only Lb for now. Valencia is still in great shape and probably one of the first names on the team sheet. What makes you think he will be replaced this summer? Maybe next summer but not now.
Replacing Valencia is an absolute must. He's spent.
 
Those two pricks annoy me. The first comment on every United post and every United players posts. Screaming for attention who ever the feck they are.
Who, Marcus and Martinus? Search for them at Spotify and they’ll annoy you even more.
Don’t know if it’s their account though.
 
If he wins Saturday, how many Champions Leagues in a row would that be? And how many seasons as manager would that mean he HASNT won it?

Most managers could hand pick 11 players and still not win consecutive Champions Leagues
Thought you was joking about Zidane and Sean Dyche tbh. I dont believe knockout tournaments prove who is the best team or manager. Anyway its what i think.
 
Haven't had much luck with Brazilians at the club. Hope he can buck the trend if true.

Finding a new RB is probably even more important than LB, although we absolutely must upgrade both.
 
Always thought Brazilians pronounce the word 'Brazil' like they have a speech impediment. Bwaziw

Do you not think maybe they are pronouncing it correctly and it’s us English speaking countries that say it wrongly? Lol just a thought.

TBF Anderson was highly rated, Kleberson was regarded as one of the country’s outstanding players, the twins were pretty good for us.
Fred’s played a fair while in Europe so is used to the weather and culture in Europe. I’m sure he’ll fit in; Manchester has a Brazilian community and won’t experience the overt racism that occurs in Eastern Europe

At this point I believe people who have this opinion don’t actually watch our games. Hes utter dross going forward, has been for a long time, don’t let nostalgia blind you.

I think we need a RW far more than we need a RB. Valencia was pretty good until about February, since then he has been average. I believe if we get a RW then there is less onus on him to be attacking and defending that entire flank, which is what we've asked him to do for 2 years now. Any RB would struggle with that.

No it's not, all of our better attacking players operate from the left side - Pogba, Sanchez, Rashford, Martial so we focus our attacks down that side and generally it leads to Young cutting back onto his right foot and putting an in swinging cross that either A- hits the first man, B- is collected by the keeper or C- goes out of play

Valencia may hit the first man with every cross or pass it infield but even that isn't as detrimental to the side as what Young does

I didn't say he was good going forward, but the qualities he has still warrants him starting at RB. Obviously Mourinho values what he brings in that position. I'm willing to bet anything that he will be starting every game next season as well.

Exactly, RW is more urgent for sure.

What are those qualities?
 
I don't disagree and fair play to them.

I just can't see how agents look for anything else than who pays the most money!

You might not see, but players and agents have much more better relationship and trust each other.
 
Don't believe most of what you read. Some saying Fred will not decide until after World Cup, others saying he could sign by next week. I will wait until it is announced by our club.
 
Don't gets the complaints. Might not be world class but he seems like a big part of what we've been missing; someone who can pass the ball forward, play balls through tight defenses and run forward with the ball. Our transition play and final balls have been dreadful, hopefully this guy can play a big part in fixing that. This is the sort if signing I trust Jose with.
In Ukraine. The fact he doesn't register many assists and doesn't show much range concerns me. We need a Cesc level passer.
 
So we are finally signing a competent central midfielder, watch us make him a Carrick when he has so much more to give ala Anderson (one of the highest rated AM in the game at the time)
Wtf, Carrick had more and gave more than Anderson who had always been overrated.
If we make him a Carrick then I'd be thrilled

I think the point was that we tried to turn Anderson into some sort of defensive midfielder which he was useless at because he was supposed to be a creative AM.

I'm not convinced he would have ever excelled as a creative player, considering how erratic his passing was - he could overhit a pass like no other. But you could make the argument that Fergie "shackled" him and he could never blossom. I wouldn't agree with that but there is an argument to be made.
 
It's not ideal, but I'd rather we get a quality RW. I'm not against replacing Valencia, I just feel that it's not a priority given how many other positions need addressing.


I'd prefer we do away with the need for wingers, since we don't actually have any, and replace Valencia with an attacking RWB
