De Bruyne is a better player, I'm not disputing that, he's the best creative midfielder in the world but for me Bruno is up there with anybody else. I'm saying people go overboard with the sloppy criticisms for Bruno though, and in fact even someone like De Bruyne is sloppy which every stat shows. It's just something that comes with the roles they play. They are the primary sources of creativity and try to force chances sometimes and play passes into the box frequently, so the pass completion naturally drops. Trying to frame it one way and make excuses for one and not the other really go to show how people trip over their feet to criticize our own players. What's wrong with just saying our own Bruno is also a world class player? Nothing.That wouldn't explain why neutrals who watch both players would overwhelmingly prefer Kevin De Bruyne. Bruno's decision making is erratic at times and he goes for the wrong option of pass rather than an easier pass. This is something that stats can't tell you. With Kevin De Bruyne, you get consistency in passing and his pass completion goes down when City are trying to break down low blocks and De Bruyne is attempting to cut through the defense.
It's widely believed that Scholes couldn't tackle. The stats show that Scholes was a better tackler than Ngolo Kante. Does that make sense?
Yes
Not sure how he's going to do well when sitting on the bench.
No he isn't, don't be ridiculous.
He’s got 15 top flight goals I’m reading so it should be £1mil per time fouled imo.
It will be the battle of century that no one really cares about. Who will win? the number of times Grealish falling over and win a foul vs oil production in UAE. My guess is Grealish will win. This video sums up his skills.
He's not a great penalty taker. Has nothing to do with his bottle though. As he said, he would have happily taken one.
You really think Martial and James are good enough of United? I don't - plus I don't think Pogba wants to stay and Rashford is out for months - and was awful for much of last season
I'd play him ahead of Pogba - and I don't think Pogba wants to stay. We are going to be left light if Pogba goes late in the window. Plus his possession is so much better than Pogba's.You yourself have admitted we'd have gotten him if Villa got relegated meaning you knew we were after him then. This year there's nothing out there to show interest was there but I'm 100% sure the transfer people and scouts had discussed him. I saw an article somewhere some months back from The Telegraph saying that the players prefer Grealish but Ole wanted Sancho which shows discussions happened behind the scenes
Anyway that's beside the point, I NEVER said he's only a winger and even if he came to play in midfield(which would make us imbalanced IMO) do you hand on heart genuinely see him starting week in week out ahead of Bruno and Pogba(if he stays)? If Pogba left he'd probably make sense but assuming he stays and we add a competent DM name me 3 midfields in the PL better than Bruno, Pogba and a solid DM. Our midfield literally just lacks an anchor NOT another Attacking Midfielder
Both players are and can/will be good.
Martial is very much good enough for United. That’s a fact!
In what position? Rashford left, Bruno at #10, so where does Grealish play?
He hasn't signed for City yet.
Rashford for awful last season? Geez the state of this forum.
