Will we pull the plug on this if Amorim gets sacked at the end of the season? Feels like the money could be better spent elsewhere if our next manager doesn't use wing backs.
In which case, that would seem like an unnecessary transfer when we already have Garnacho and Amad as our wingers. There are other positions that need resolving more urgently.Sporting's current manager isn't using wing-backs and Quenda is playing as a winger. The same thing would happen here, if Amorim were to be sacked.
That’s because they’re building for a title challenge in 2028 when Quenda will be 21. That’s Berradas goal. Likes of Dorgu, Garnacho, Kobbie will be coming in to their peaks.Do we need more youngsters really? Especially extremely expensive ones.
Would prefer someone a bit older, more experienced and established. The average age of the squad is quite young at about 24 (not including players like Heaton, Evans and Eriksen who are as good as gone).

I think if we’re honest, and as much as I love Amad in particular, if we want to be challenging for titles, they’re probably both subs to better starting players. Wouldn’t see either making any of our starting lineups in our league winning era.In which case, that would seem like an unnecessary transfer when we already have Garnacho and Amad as our wingers.

If we don't fix the current squad NOW, we will end up in table midfield forever (and that's optimistically said).That’s because they’re building for a title challenge in 2028 when Quenda will be 21. That’s Berradas goal. Likes of Dorgu, Garnacho, Kobbie will be coming in to their peaks.

I like the idea of Quenda as he can play WB or in one of the attacking positions. Having Dorgu, Quenda, Amad and the new South American kid (name evades me) gives us lots of flexibility
I think that's nuts. Amad is a really, really special player.
It's his first PL season. And yes, his potential is every bit as much as a Mane or Tevez even if the style is different. Comparing him to the rest is stupid, as all of those names are genuine all timers at their positions.I love Amad and he's our most dangerous player but but do you see him as being better than prime Rooney, Tevez, Ronaldo or Giggs, Beckham or Salah, Mane. That's the calibre of player that wins leagues. I think Amad would need to be the worst player in any attack that we have that would challenge for a league title as he's a few levels below those. I don't even think that's shade on Amad.
It's not stupid. That's my exact point. Majority of teams that have won Premier Leagues have 2/3 attackers that will be PL all-time level or at least better than Amad is now. Arsenal have struggled to get it over the line because they have one in that category.It's his first PL season.

Mane's first 3 seasons in the PL (at Amad's age now) he had 13, 17, and 18 G+A total. Amad has 12 (in a far worse attacking outfit) and is now out for the season.It's not stupid. That's my exact point. Majority of teams that have won Premier Leagues have 2/3 attackers that will be PL all-time level or at least better than Amad is now.

Tevez and Mane both have multiple 20 goal seasons and Mane since turning 20 has never scored fewer goals than Amad's current tally.

Not all players are teenage prodigies and of course his current version is levels below those in their prime. You mentioned Salah - at Amad’s current age he was getting loaned out to Fiorentina over the winter break, was loaned to Roma the next season and eventually sold to them the next summer at 24. I doubt many people would be lining up to take the objective position, without the benefit of current hindsight, that Salah looked a better talent at 22 than Amad. We can only hope he has a similar trajectory, but the talent is certainly there IMO for him to be of that caliber in 3-4 years when entering his prime.I love Amad and he's our most dangerous player but but do you see him as being better than prime Rooney, Tevez, Ronaldo or Giggs, Beckham or Salah, Mane.

It’s Ben JacobsAnything with the Stake logo take would a large pinch of salt, it is most likely kids doing anything to farm engagement.
Worse, it’s Centredevils quoting/misquoting Ben Jacobs.It’s Ben Jacobs
Apparently Ben Jacobs says a deal has been agreed with the player and the negotiations are ongoing with the club. I'll share the interview in a bit. It'll be on the United view.Worse, it’s Centredevils quoting/misquoting Ben Jacobs.
I really don't know how you can watch us this season and argue that a new centre forward and a new keeper shouldn't be prioritised ahead of a RW (if we were to switch to a back 4). I can't imagine we'll have the money for all 3 including Quenda.I really don't know how you can watch us this season and argue that those 2 would be enough for an entire season.

Okay well considering PSR restrictions I don't see how we can afford 2 strikers, 2 CMs and a new GK whilst also spending 40m on Quenda. For me, he shouldn't be a priority.Thankfully I didn't say that. One striker is not nearly enough to fix our misfiring attack, especially if we miss out on Gyökeres and Osimhen and we need 2 central midfielders before we need a new GK. Also, Quenda is mainly playing on the left, since Amorim has left.
Yeah, we’re wholly dependent on quite a few sales I’d assume, to raise anything substantial enough to try and address as many problem areas as possible. CM, LAM, GK, CF & RWB - all starters needed.Okay well considering PSR restrictions I don't see how we can afford 2 strikers, 2 CMs and a new GK whilst also spending 40m on Quenda.

Same guy that reckoned the Saudis wanted Casemiro in January? Doesn't have a clue.Apparently Ben Jacobs says a deal has been agreed with the player and the negotiations are ongoing with the club. I'll share the interview in a bit. It'll be on the United view.
