I mean maybe don't just judge a player because he has a similar hairstyle to another player already in the team.
It's fine if you don't rate the player, but if you can't give a valid reason then people are going to call you out on it.
It's really annoying. In others news though, looking forward to what Xerxes can do for usZirkee, Zirzkee, Zhirkzee - another name that nobody can be arsed to spell properly.
just waiting the announcement
Announcement video Woodward era style, playing the piano or what?
Or just a boring tweet and moving on like a sensible club should
Mason Mount for one too, if you look at him when he was doing well in his early days at Chelsea against the size/weight of him at United, it's not surprising to see the same player play completely differently after bulking up.
First time watching the guy, seemed like the best version of Martial at n9.....classy on the ball, decent with back to goal, produced a moment of brilliance but can be a bit languid defensive wise though he did run a decent shift. Anyways, think there is a lot to work with here and it seems like a nice fit for Garnacho and Rashford, time will tell but the little i see i like it.
I said quote it, and I hope you do. Not that you'll share it again in a years time.
Oh no not espn fourfourtwo and 90min!!
How will we ever be able to fight the superb logic of these landing pages!
Juve, Madrid, and Barcelona can't afford him. And why would he go to Bayern or PSG from United? Or Juventus for that matter. You really think Martínez would just leave the biggest club in the Premier League who have sky-high ambitions and are managed by ETH who he has a great relationship with...to the Bundesliga, or Serie A?I would understand if he wanted to go to one of the Spanish giants, but like I said, neither of them are able to splash 80m or more on a centre-back/left-back at the moment. And to mention PSG as well
Also, how often does that happen? A CB playing for a big club in their peak years, leaving to another big club for an astronomical price? Every single big-money CB transfer is a smaller club selling to a big club, except de Ligt from Juventus to Bayern 2 years ago, and Luiz from Chelsea to PSG a decade ago.
Maguire: Leicester to United
Gvardiol: Leipzig to City
de Ligt: Ajax to Juventus
VVD: Southampton to Liverpool
Fofana: Leicester to Chelsea
Dias: Benfica to City
Laporte: Bilbao to City
Martínez: Ajax to United
Stones: Everton to City
Romero: Atalanta to Spurs
KMJ: Napoli to Bayern
Koundé: Sevilla to Barca
Miltao: Porto to Madrid
Kilman: Wolves to WHU
This is the current top 15 if you count Gvardiol as a CB.
I think it's you that's very wrong on this.
Martínez is no slouch defensively, but his true strengths are in possession and the build-up. He's the most press-resistant centre back in world football, and one of the best passers and ball progressors as well in his position. His mental profile and tenacity is also something that every team on the planet would be glad to have. He would start for any team in the world that's looking to play with a possession-based approach, like how City and Arsenal play.
Yeah, you’re right. He’s the best!

I mean… they have more cred than you
Please, feel free to find even one source that ranks Lisandro in the top 5.
The best thing about signing another promising CF to me is that it will put a lot of pressure on both him and Hojlund to perform. Or so we can hope. Its one thing to compete against a seasoned striker bc then it may almost be too easy for either to take the attitude that of course they re not at that level yet. If one of these two starts performing though it ll surely lead to even more motivation for the other to step up their game.
Maybe I'm overthinking this.
Of course this will only work if they also stay free of injuries.

They actually don't have much credibility. They scrape popular players or work off affiliated sponsorships than actually put out their own well sourced rankings.I mean… they have more cred than you
Moreover, the poster pointed to managers with insane pedigree rating Licha to a high level, and you decided the apt answer was to post clickbait outlets from glorified gossip pages. It's a bit of a funny move, since they certainly don't have better credibility than what he referred to.
This is one of the most embarrassing replies I've ever received on this forum.
You know exactly what two modern players are like because you're older than simon?
As far as arguments go it certainly is...one of the options available.
Also bringing Ruud in. Could imagine he will demand a lot from them.

This isn't even one of the CB transfer threads. Please discuss Martínez in a subject-relevant thread.I mean… they have more cred than you
Please, feel free to find even one source that ranks Lisandro in the top 5.

Not that you should put a lot of emphasis on this either, but this is at least better than your lists
Call me suspicious, but someone with the username "wildflower2007" who signed up to a United forum in 2024 and uses phrases like "chill yer boots pup" and has reactionary hot takes about signings before they've kicked a ball seems much more likely to be a 16-17 year old than someone in their 50-60's.
But are you cringing also? If you're not cringing and embarrassed are you really even RedCafing?
He has some similar qualities of Martial, his running style is also a glide when dribbling like Martials I think. It can come across lazy but it isn't
Been watching some Youtube videos of him and I must say he looks very good on the ball, his first touch looks phenomenal. I know you only get to see the best moments from a player in highlight videos but we don't have many players in our current squad that are capable of the dribbles and first touches he does.
Ok, so I saw some videos.... Officially excited
People have to bear in mind he was at Bologna not Juventus, his numbers may look unremarkable but they're very good for a Bologna player.
Yeah I think we needed more goals in the squad than he will offer but considering how shit we are to watch he looks like a player that I'll at least look forward to watching.
Just don't announce it. Randomly have him starting one of the friendlies.
Harsh on Rasmus if this guy gets no 9
He has some similar qualities of Martial, his running style is also a glide when dribbling like Martials I think. It can come across lazy but it isn't
But does he have the most important skill, the one that can make or break his career?
In other words, can he smile?
Exactly, he did quite well last season given context.
Also sounds like a grafter on the pitch, you don't lead the league in possession won in the final third in a defensive league if you're lazy.
I'll never scoff at forwards with high workrate off the ball who also happen to be quite technically proficient with the ball at their feet. That's always welcome in the team
This is a very good point.
I'm in to it.
A forward whose biggest weaknesses are that he can't shoot or put a header away is a bit of an odd one but given finishing is about the only part of Hojlund's game that's thus far been what we're looking for they could compliment each other.

This is particularly interesting. It's all his touches in a game vs. Juventus
This thread is odd as feck
Think Mainoo will love having a player that takes the ball to feet and looks for the one twos.
We have Ruud as a coach now. Extra work on training ground with Hoijlund and Zirkzee should pay dividends.
