Nicholas Williams | Bilbao winger
- Thread starter zaafi
- Start date
Apart from the goal
And the one he put just wide
And the Olmo chance
And the Yamal chance
Not at all. Rashford has never been quick. He's a 7 out of 10 in body and mind.
Yeah. Reminds me of Vini Jr a bit alright.
Class player.
Best player on the pitch by a country mile for me. We should be moving heaven and earth to get rid of Rashford and bring him in. Has electric and caused England a problem every time he touched the ball!
A gem. Splendid player
He’s absolutely what we need on the left. Someone who can be direct with pace and dribbling but is no slouch at slowing things down and keeping it. That in the left with the RW coming more infield and linking up is ideal.
He's amazing, wish we could sign him.
The first half for me was impressive in terms of link up play, workrate and touch even if he couldn't directly get past Walker who pretty much stopped him. He had the odd over hit cross but he's not just a one trick pony/speed merchant.
A proper two flank star. The club that get him from Bilbao will get a gem
Shat myself every time he got the ball. Definitely the pick of that Spain team in attack. Yamal is frightening for his age but at this stage the pace and ability to scare defenders that Williams has would be a huge coup for any team. Immediately he opens up space because unless you double up he can rinse a full back. If playing for a top side it's not hard to imagine him scoring a lot more too.
Which is precisely why I said we should attempt to sign him. There are always assumptions on here that certain players wouldn't want to join us. How could you possibly know that? He is open joining Barcelona, so surely his ambitions exceed playing with his brother in Athletic. He is on £170k there, and we could offer him £300k which is the same as Rashford and get rid of him. The project we got going and the rebuild might actually tempt him as well.
We could just offer him 200K and not go overboard? We obviously wont go for him as Rashford is here for life.
Really good, smooth player. Love watching him glide with the ball. His decision making and mentality is also advanced for a player of his type - doesn't force things, but doesn't hide either. Hardly anyone beats Walker in direct one-on-one battles but he didn't let that frustrate him, just kept playing and eventually took control. Also this doesn't really matter, but I like that he doesn't dive or exaggerate contact (from what I remember). A lot of this applies to Yamal as well.

We need to be all over him. Sell Sancho and Antony and get him in.
Absolutely.
What I like his attitude and maturity on the pitch. He’s not an elite dribbler but when he isn’t beating his man, he links up well and has the strength to hold it up and remain relevant.
Walker was scared and he is so good on the ball, very mature in his plays and takes smart decisions.
We really need to make an offer, send Antony the other way

... and watching a replay of some other game 2 years ago, where Nico wasn't even playing...I would gladly trade 3 - Sancho, Antony, and Rashford for just Nico, but nobody will want to do that deal on the other side, even though Nico has measly 50mil release clause...
Says a lot about what kind of overpaid under-performers we have accumulated in attack...
Move Rashford on and get this boy in.
Williams and Garnacho switching wings during games. Oh my.
Rashford is many things, but slow he is not.
Looks an elite talent. One of those players who looks effortlessly rapid, like his feet barely touch the grass. A shame we have a very high paid player in his position already.
Can we interest Bilbao in an exchange with Rashford?
There's a pretty big reason Bilbao won't want Rashford.
Sociedad fecked off their recruitment policy for John Aldridge, of all people. We can ask the question (or find him a Basque grandmother).
We can add a few millions to sweeten the deal.
But yeah, can't see them wanting to take Marcus on with the season he's had.
The bad season isn’t the reason…. Look at where he’s born.
Barca after him. Not sure how many levers they need to activate for this. Well was always impossible to get him to United vut would have been super exciting
seems like a no-brainer signing at that price
I'd trade him for Rashford for sure
I'd trade him for Rashford for sure
Be tempted to pay over the release clause and force Bilbao' hand. Slap 65 million on the table, he's the real deal.
He wants to go to Barcelona, like Yoro wants Madrid. Williams is willing to wait another season for Barcelona as his brother also plays at Bilbao, so he's in no rush.
He makes too much sense, which is why United won't even have interest in signing him, and we'll be going into another season with Rashford.
You don't know until you try.
I suspect he'll want to go wherever the fattest contract lies.
Everyone wants a shiny new toy everyday. He’s not better than Rashford ffs, at least not now. Marcus will definitely have a better goalscoring and assist season than him this year and for the next three in a United shirt
Yes he is. This past year, Rashford has been terrible and unprofessional.
There is nothing guaranteed where Rashford is concerned.
In what world are you living in? There is no "definitely" about Rashford. Time to wake up.
Nico Williams is much better than Rashford, and it's not really close. How deluded are you
