What good he be if he missing through injury when we need him?
Not sure but I think that would more affect our De Ligt chase than Mazraoui chase. Between the Yoro injury and the Ito injury, they will definitely not budge on their €50m demand for De Ligt now.
See the injury worry is valid in this case, but I don't think there's funds for a Vanderson or Frimpong. Mazraoui combination of quality, versatility and low price is what we'll have to go for. Dalot is usually fit so hopefully it remains the case.
1. If you need a left back, buy a left back.
They want de Ligt to leave as they have enough cover at CB.
He is 'Cheap' only in terms of the fees. I am sure he'd demand a fair wage and a minimum 4+1 contract when he signs for us. The overall cost of the deal will be significant. We cannot have a player sit on the IR for the next four/five years while getting paid. We don't need a replacement for Phil Jones.
We could just go on an on, hopefully it would turn out to be a risk that pays of.
Forgot about his Jong Ajax days. He has done a very healthy 4 out of 8 seasons.
His 'games missed' record on its own actually makes his injury history look better than it is.
That's the only hope if we make this stupid deal.
I don't agree with your number one, it betrays United identity to block the path of a talent like Amass into the first team. The current situation gives him a chance to make a claim.
That's a terrible plan if true. If we go by that logic, we'd need the entire Ajax squad to make the 80m misunderstanding work.
I’d sell him even if he was the last standing defender on the team.
1.Dalot can be trusted to stay fit, now we will have 3 untreliable fullbacks if we add Mazraoui.
Dalot was pretty much our only fit fullback last season.
All this attention on stockpiling fullbacks whilst we have the carcass of Casemiro lumbering about in midfield. I love it
Why exactly?
Because I don’t think he’s that good and can’t stand him at all.
Then don’t buy a right back and let Wan Bissaka’s contract expire? He’s atleast been the more reliable of the fullbacks until the last season.
It would take a miracle worker not a fullback to make Antony effective on a football field.
Yes, 4 is a bit different than 8. off course, if you had chosen league games above 19 instead of 20, it would have been 7/8, or games total above 26, it would have been 8/8.
I was all for this guy at the time we were first linked to him, having not checked on him at Bayern and going by how brilliant he once was. All the information received since then suggests this isn't a good idea and that he's even more of a sicknote than Shaw.
No he doesn't. He has a veto in his contract still but that doesn't mean he has final say.
The problem is that we need a left back more than a right back because Shaw is always injured and Dalot is always fit. Adding an injury prone back-up right back doesn't solve anything. I know he can play left back, but is he actually any good there?
I’m just one dude who can’t stand him due to his homophobia. I don’t think I’m representative of Bayernfans as a whole on that matter.
agreed.Just trying to apply some logic to this move.
He would have to stay fit for the entire season for that to happen.
There was Reguilon for the 1st half of the season and Amrabat for some games at lb. Having Dalot as the only fit fullback was an issue. But we went into that season with the understanding that awb wasnt injury prone, we can call it bad luck. The difference here is we will knowingly go into the season with 3 injury prone fullbacks.
