Rayan Cherki

[GaryLifo]

reckon he's well worth a punt.

Front 3 of Cunha, Osimhen, Cherki would be so much fun to watch. Yes I realise it's not likely to happen

What am I missing with this endless wankfest over this bang average player? People are talking about him like he is the second coming of christ, yet he did nothing over 210 mins against us, did nothing this week in France, but it's just endless excuses about how he really is good and none of these performances are a fair representation. His league numbers aren't even that impressive, and that's the French league, I could score in the French league.

Is he really good in football manager? the new hipster signing? what am I missing?

What you appear to be missing is pretty much everything

Didn't he score and assist against us? He looks to be a real old school type of 10. He can play the final pass or finish off either foot. He looks a really interesting player with question marks over his mentality to play on the bigger stage under more pressure.

Would love. Don' care, we could do with all 3 of Cerki, Cunha and Delap. Front line needs a massive overhaul.

Scored 2 in 2 against us. Did nothing though, apparently!

Could have had one or two other assists too over the two legs and came close to a wonder goal where he ran through our defence but Onana saved his shot.

He looks good at times and bang average at others. Looks like he thinks he doesn't need to work unless it suits him and we have had enough players like that recently to know that we shouldn't touch him with a barge pole. The very first characteristic you should be looking at for any player who isn't absolutely world class is their work rate and attitude. I don't think Cherki gets signed for that reason alone.

Which game were you watching? Was kinda the only spark for them until that kid came on, also scored two goals.

If Garnacho had the exact same performances for us that Cherki had for Lyon most of our fans would be calling for him to be sold. Football is a funny thing, when a player is in style if they try something and it doesn't come off it's an indication of what potential they have, but if they aren't in style and do they exact same things it's not good enough and they need to be sold. I saw nothing from Cherki to suggest he is special or that he is better than someone like Garnacho. His goal in the first game was an Onana error, not impressive play by Cherki.

 

[pocco]

Let's remember that he's only 21. He's being judged in here like he's in his prime, but he's a young player tasked with carrying the attack of Lyon. The work rate might be partly down to instruction - they probably want him to reserve his energy to try to affect the game when he has the ball. Against us, he recovered and got back into position defensively, and he showed a good turn of pace numerous times to go past players. I think the comparisons to Hazard are quite apt, he looks a similar player in certain phases of the game.

This is definitely one of those transfers that fans want and isn’t even slightly on our radar.

My guess is that its not because we aren’t interested but other clubs have agreements with his agent and we’re not attractive right now.

Talk to us about the goal at OT, let's have fun

[Infra-red]

We seem to have made it to page 23 without any reliable journalist anywhere even hinting that United might be interested in this player?

And we’re still ignoring the fact that release clauses are illegal in French football too

He had 8 key passes over both legs (4 each game and more than any other player) and two goals. Who scored and Sofascore both had him rated as the best player on either team in the first leg and second only to Casemiro (and Harry, per Sofascore) in the second leg. Garnacho on the other hand was utter rubbish in the first leg and decent in the second leg, getting one assist over both games and missing a 1v1 to put the tie away at Old Trafford. Cherki may not have had virtuoso performances against us, but he was one of if not the most effective player in the tie over both legs.

I don’t know where this nonsense that he played poorly came from. Maybe it’s the fault of posters like me that have been hyping him up. Either way, I’ll take those kinds of performances from Garnacho every bloody week. Garnacho has 1 goal, 4 assist and 20 total key passes this season in Europa and Cherki has 4, 8 and 45 with about 15% more minutes. And yes, Cherki passes the eye test also.

So no, I don’t think if Garnacho had those performances that we’d be begging for him to be sold.

Let's just agree to disagree at this point, bud. To say he did nothing against us over 2 legs just displays some sort of 'bias' you cannot debate against.

There's been a flood of newbies who make posts that sound like they may not be Manchester United fans, despite what their profile says. Just saying
