Joshua Zirkzee (Out)

[colombianmancunian]

Hopefully he goes to Juve on a permanent basis. He doesn’t have the quality needed for the PL such as Depay or Antony before him.

He should have never come. Thank you ETH and Ashworth.

Last summer’s incoming players:
Mazraoui, De Light, Ugarte, Yoro, Zirkzee.

You always unhappy with a 80% score?

[Simon Stone] Juventus director Cristiano Giuntoli speaking on TV re rumous of interest in Joshua Zirkzee ahead Italian Super Cup semi-final with AC Milan. "We have never spoken to Manchester. They have situations to resolve. Juventus must wait and see but there is nothing yet."​

Looks like, it confirms there is interest from Juventus. Juventus director didn’t deny their interest and even mentioned ‘’they have situation to resolve, Juventus must wait and see’’.

I hope we get to sell him permanently. £30m will pay off the cheque book that we owe to Bologna.

I wonder which situation(s) he means in particular. The PSR or something else.

I’d imagine they’re waiting from us to get his replacement over the line first before letting him go.

 

[RopersReturn]

The Glazers will probably have the last word.

 

[Wing Attack Plan R]

I think it’s the culture and environment. Put him in United 2012 and he probably takes over from Berbatov. Put Chicarito in our current team and his confidence is through the floor after 10 games.

I understand what all those words mean but I can’t understand how anybody would think Zirkzee is somehow even remotely as capable as Berbatov was — let alone possessing Berbatov’s sheer artistry -- to suggest he’d take over. I must be missing your meaning.

You are right, Mazroui was a steal, Ugarte and De Ligt are good players with will serve us well for many years and Yoro is a generational talent.

Just missed it with Zirkzee. He is too slow and lazy for this league, and doesn’t pressure Rasmus enough for him to get better.

Probably means that’s our environment was so solid back then, that Zirkzee would flourish after Berbatov, not be the Berbatov reincarnate.

 

[Golden Nugget]

Alternately put Berbatov in the current United side and he’d likely have people on his back too.

He’s a wonderful player and his touches were sublime - but he was heavily criticized back then for being too slow and wasteful in his chances - especially as he was pushing Tevez out of the team, who was a fan favorite before his move to City

Berbatov was a PL proven technical wizard though, who came into a very good side and could be carried.

 

[sdb4884]

Sell sell sell!

 

[PoTMS]

Get rid of him for anything above £30m. He is absolutely shite.

That could be what was meant, but then I would have to completely disagree. It's not United that is the problem, but rather it's the Premier League and Zirkzee's skill level. We had donkeys back then too, and he would have been just as much of a donkey with world class players next to him as he is now. Probably the contrast would have been even more jarring.

Berbatov is like a thousand times better than Zirkzee. That’s a bad comparison

 

[Adamsk7]

These Berbatov comparisons need to stop because if he was anything like Berba he’d be one of the best players in the world in this current game. As it is we are shipping him back to Italy after 5 months.

 

[Escobar]

Better to sell asap than try and try again

 

[redNATION]

Is this guy still here?! Thought he’d have gone straight after full time against Newcastle

 

[Sandikan]

If we can get him so quickly at least we're learning. Would be amazing to get anywhere near what we bought him for though.

Loan with us paying 50-75% is more our style.

 

[FujiVice]

Getting rid of Zirkzee and Antony would be great.

 

[Kostov]

Getting rid of Zirkzee and Antony would be great.

Equivalent to a new LB signing. That great.

Berba had a few decent patches and still showed extreme class at times. Comparing these two players is an insult.

 

[VP89]

If we can offload casemiro too I'm sure we can spend!

Berbatov would instantly be our best player, and it would be clear to see.

 

[Rojofiam]

Based on what? I thought by now everyone must have noticed that Ineos are running the whole club basically

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

The Glazers will probably have the last word.

Ratcliffe has full control over footballing matters?

 

[Ish]

Those Berbatov comparisons are “lazy”

 

[Freak]

You must be really ignorant if you even attempt to make similarities of this guy to Berba.

 

[Paul778]

Berbatov would instantly be our best player, and it would be clear to see.

Amusingly he'd also probably be our hardest working player in this setup which is something I'd never have said 15 years ago.

 

[Zoo]

 

[van Nistelrooy]

Doesn't sound great for Zirkzee's future. Can't remember a new signing being rumoured to be leaving so soon after joining.

 

[T00lsh3d]

“He gives everything (unfortunately though I hook him after 30 minutes because he’s completely shite)”

 

[2 man midfield]

Standard answer that covers him for either eventuality. If there was nothing in it though, that second part isn’t said.

 

[RuudTom83]

“He gives everything (unfortunately though I hooked him once after 30 minutes because the team was losing 2-0 and I needed to take off a CF for a CM)”

Fixed!

 

[FortunaUtd]

Where did he get that quote from? Sounds extremely edited to me. I refuse to believe Amorim said it in that order.

I agree , it doesn’t seem like he’d say that but in general

 

[Uncle Mainoo]

Where did he get that quote from? Sounds extremely edited to me. I refuse to believe Amorim said it in that order.

It’s from Romano. But it’s two quotation marks so clearly two statements.

Eitherway we are clearly open for offers.
