Kostas Manolas
- Thread starter MyOnlySolskjaer
- Start date
The Sun and I think he writes for tribal football too.
Would love him here, he is a fighter, but to expensive imo.
AS Roma doesn't seem to be the type who prioritize selling player mid season and risk the result in performance. And the Sun is probably bs rehashing old interest
I think this link is basically is to show Benfica that Utd have other options. I think it's pretty obvious who Mourinho wants, and he usually gets who he wants eventually.
In saying that I'd prefer Manolas but this article is just a smokescreen

I'm not sure any available defender is worth it for those fees being touted.
Yup, that's City money.
we certainly don't need him, we already have 4 very good CBs, Unless it's a world class player/ talent for good we shouldn't be bothered..
Very unreliable CBs.
what is unreliable? yeah so that means that some greek cb playing in seria A will come and become more reliable than what we have, don't be fooled. Rojo has been a rock, Bailly looks top talent, Jones has made like one mistake but which CB in the prem hasnt apart that he was brilliant too and Smalling after a broken finger coming back and looks solid, all players staying fit. Mourinho factor making them great set of centerbacks...
ppl wanted Garays Lindelofs and other overrated centerbacks who havnet even see playing, just because they want signings for the sake of new stuff, players are not like new toys or pokemons ffs
I agree.
He would certainly Kostas.
He has 19 shooting in FIFA. Do not want
We could do with a CB that can actually pass and is comfotable as the LCB, he'd be an upgrade on Smalling.
I would say he is comfortably better than all except Bailly.
He's a a lot better than Smalling, Jones and Rojo. Haven't seen enough of Bailly as of yet to comment.
He's not some unknown entity, if we don't sign him, another big team will.
Very fast and strong on FIFA, though.
Yeah but 42 passing. Not much playing out from the back with him.
How so?
We have the 2nd best defense in te league but this guy is better than our 4 CBs...ok
We have? By what criteria?
We've conceded more than Chelsea and Spurs. But still, I'm sure you're more knowledgeable about Manolas than you are about the league table.
This is a thread for Kostas, not Smalling
We have one black centre back, one hispanic, one white anglo saxon, and one Dutch - that's pretty awesome!
@Infra-red @AndyJ1985 Okay 3rd, feck sake like that makes a difference. And yes I do watch the Serie A.

If we have the 3rd best defence in a league we aspire to be champions of, it's reasonable to make efforts to improve that defence where possible, no?

Smalling has 14 more passing, 2 more dribbling and 28 more shooting
I certainly don't want to see them playing togetheryes because the only way to do that is to buy players.
There are very obviously numerous methods of doing that, of which strengthening the squad is undoubtedly one.So fans are basing their choice to buy a player based on a computer game ranking? Am I reading this correct?
Glad you agree..so we dont need another CB
From what I have seen is definitely an upgrade on Rojo/Smalling.
No we don't necessarily need a new CB to improve defensively (defensive stability seems to be about organisation as much as individual quality, and Mourinho has an excellent track-record in that regard. Rojo's positioning, for instance, has improved markedly this season).
However there are traits that are likely to prove less-malleable to training/instruction, such as the ability to play out from the back and leadership qualities. They're inherent to the player and it's not unreasonable to suggest that Mourinho may need to turn to the market to solve problems that would otherwise prove intractable. That is afterall what the market is actually for.
Would you call them reliable on the basis of the last few seasons? Jones, Rojo and Smalling have all had patchy form for most of their United careers, all are susceptible to injury at any moment (particularly the former two).
I would say the only 'reliable' CB United have at the moment is Bailly, then again he's still relatively new to the league and can be a bit rash at times.
So fans are reading red cafe comments and taking them seriously? Am I reading this correct?
Thats the last few seasons, all seem pretty reliable now. No lets start with Manolas who has problems starting for Roma right now. Why Manolas and not Rudiger?
I bet we dont get Manolas.
To be fair, Rojo should have been sent off in 2 of his 3 starts that gave him this good run of form.
If's and but's, but if he was sent off, we may never have seen him play for us again.
I don't know the situation with Manolas right now, but isn't he supposed to be one of the better defenders in the world right now? And by better, I mean one who'd start for most teams in Europe
Never really seen Manolas play but I think smalling has had his peak at united he's a decent player but not what we hoped. Rojo on the other hand has looked strangely good this season, I like his no nonsense approach to defending, ok he might not be the best on the ball but hes better than smalling and doesn't make many howlers.
