Wasn't Amad also a teenager who'd only played one game of senior football when we signed him? We basically signed him off of scout recommendations, especially after he came to Manchester and tore City apart in a youth CL game for Atalanta.
fecking breadline
Amad wasn't bought to be a first team player, it took him several years to get there, it appears that Dorgu is expected to be first choice LWB in a dysfunctional team in a new country and a wholly different kind of league in regards to pace and physicality, I can't help feeling he's being set up to fail, hope I'm wrong though
idk for me a wingback should be a good position to integrate such a player. You stay wide, defend crosses, and get forward to put in crosses of your own. Sounds simple enough, even though i know easier said than done. Going like CB where there is no cover at times, or anything really in the central where you can get swarmed would prob be a harder ask for a new league player
The problem is that if we introduced that Patrick to this current United we all know how things would end up.
Crerand more played on the right
Haha is it really that confusing? I meant that I watched a few clips of him, not a lot mind you, and my initial reaction was that he looked to be a bit short. He looked small and robust.
My point is / was that you asked the question "why is an opinion based on 'all-touches' video on YouTube not valid" and my response used a tool in Philosophy called "reducing an argument to absurdity"
Yeah I didn't insinuate this. So let's move on.
Yes. We’d have 1 good player at the back for us.
Don't get me wrong I think Caliafori is yet to reach that price tag too. Though the euros hype probably inflated his worth in the market.
30k is incredible for the club. Hope he doesn’t feel bitter when he’s sprinting back to defend and sees Rashford sitting in the box, with his grillz and bucket hat, earning 10x that while doing f all!

In what way? Price wise or the type of player?
I'm really not too bothered about whether we end up light in certain positions if it means shifting the high earners / deadwood.
That’s what everyone thought a few years back about our attacking lineup when we had Martial, Rashford and Greenwood.
Plus, neither Dorgu nor Leon have even kicked a ball in anger for us yet. I hope not but what if they're both shite for example?
We finally learn as a club not to tank value on unproven PL recruits upfront.
Ye but one was a lazy player and the other 2 had problems.
Thats what we thought when we signed Blind, Darmian, Malacia. For all we know Diego Leon might turn into Diego Loaned at some point.
Did they I don't remember that way they were are all low level Punts who were seen as squad level talents at best.
And still this is the level people who watched Dorgu here and there (not me) place him at
How is this lowballing? They asked for 40 and we got them to 35, which is almost double their club’s transfer record. 35 for a guy with 50 odd games.
That's fair enough won't argue against it but unlike those players these are youngsters who have plenty of scope for development as well and look part physically atleast .
Never heard that with blind and Darmian and wasn’t he an RB anyway?
It looks like we are almost always trying to solve the fullback/wingback issue,
