@Phil Osophy I need you to ease the pain by posting some gifs of shit passes and touches from yesterday!
Renato Sanches joins Bayern

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!
problem is - is there anyone out there like that? gundogan was probably the best CM available and he's gone walkies now..
Yeah, I actually meant to defend you with that comment. Saying Joao Mario was better than Sanches last season is in no way a negative comment about Sanches. Not sure why the City fan on the previous page felt the need to imply that and tag you.
I also find it odd how much people read into international friendlies these days. Was Sanches really that great yesterday? Didn't watch the game.
For a Sporting fan i was actually pretty mild about him. I never even talked about his technical ability. I even got criticized in Sporting fórum for not attacking him lol. I didn't watch the game either since i was working but from média and pundit reports the only players who got credit were Patrício, Ricardo Carvalho, Moutinho and specially Danilo who was the MoM for us.
I wanted this kid. Annoying to see this thread all of the time as I suspect we'll see this as a similar missed opportunity to Pogba in a couple of seasons. He's going to be one of the very best.
Loads of similarities between letting a player leave for free and not signing a player for 80m euros.
There isnt too many unfortunately. The problem is like with most positions the best players are already at the best clubs. The only ones who really aren't are Kante, Naingolan (pretty sure I butchered the spelling) Moutinho,Andre Gomes and a couple at Dortmund. But most of them bar Naingolan and Gomes who I really like aren't exactly top tier.
I think we'll just have to hope Schniederlin can kick on next season.
He basically had one moment where three England players just bounced off him. Looks really strong and fast generally. He did get totally done at one point through terrible positioning but he was at right back in fairness which isn't his position.
Haven't seen the match but when most of the big clubs are interested in him and a club like Bayern is willing to spend so much money on him, I think it's clear that scouts see him as a ridiculous talent.
I think our Martial deal was bit of game changer in all this.

Thanks.
Missing out on a young midfield talent who goes on to become world class. These are similarities, and this is why I didn't say "the same", you see.
Just found a youtube clip of that, it looks rather clumsy and flukey to me. No clue why so many got so excited about it.
From 0:33 to 0:43 :
Joao Mario is a different player and yesterday was Sanches to try to impress, he's 18 and he doesn't have a place in the first 11 and when everybody was trying not to get injured and they played with caution he went full throttle. He is good going forward but the team would need someone to cover him in the back.
Its the British/Irish way. We love strong physical players the most, to our detriment.

Why have you tagged me to this?
Nothing personal mate just feel you led the harshest criticism of the lad and fell into hype around Joao Mario created by Sly. Not enough people watched him and the comments in this thread be looked back on in a years with bewilderment.
Would of preferred him over Gundogan.
Eh? I watched him in a number of full games for Benfica and praised him more than once, I do think he's raw and erratic for the money being touted and I wasn't on the hype train, but there were at least 2 I can think of that were tearing him to shreds.
He's available for 4.5 Million on Euro fantasy. Looks like a steal even as a sub.
Seems to have a wonderful combination of strength, composure and skill.
There's no hype for João Mário started by me. His talent is natural. He was the best midfielder of our league and is a certified starter of our national team. You do realize that João Mário was one of the best players yesterday and definitely clinched a starting spot for the Euro? Maybe it was the wrong time to try and troll again. Oh and i did praise Sanches for his work and assist. It's just too soon for him to start because he won't displace Moutinho or any other of the midfield starters. Our midfield is pretty much sorted. Perhaps he can get achieve it for the world cup Campaign. He's only 18 year's of age after all.
To be honest, there was nothing special about that performance that accentuates nor diminishes the strengths or weakness's of his playing ability. It'll be the same discussions all over again if you dissect his game. One year under Ancelotti should make the picture clearer. He clearly has potential, no doubt about that though.
I'm still sort of glad we didn't go for him, atleast not for that money.
Pogba? (might not want to join us but may be available)
Saul? (couldn't blame him for telling us to do one but he does have a buy out clause)
But there are not many who might be available
Is he the first Portuguese playing for Bayern Munich? Don't remember anyone else.
Yes he is. Saw it in a Sporttv report.
Looked a different level to Gomes. What a player Bayern have.
He will piss on everyone in the league. Thiago and him will be having a walk in the park week in week out
Give it a rest. Came in had some nice dribbled against Iceland late in the game and also nearly fecked up a counter opportunity because he kept carrying the ball.
Maybe he's going to be great, but nothing about his 10 or 15 minutes tonight is anything to put in his highlight reel or make grandiose statements about.
Thought exactly the same, did as much bad as good tonight so strange reaction.
You love a good overreaction regarding players, dont you?
Clubs don't pay record money on a player if he isn't anything special! Fact is, not just 1 club but 2 clubs were willing to break the transfer record for a midfielder after only 6 months of professional football as well as other top clubs were circling around him. So all these scouts are not deluded, they must have seen something special what some here can't.
It's hilarious to see that there are people who made comments like Will Hughes and Lewis Cook are better players than Renato Sanches! Ming boggling! Perhaps that's why Sanches will be playing for Bayern after becoming the most expensive midfielder and the likes of Hughes and Cook will be playing in the Championship despite being older and having more first team experience.

Seriously? a different level in the Bundesliga? If he was that good he would have helped one of the best players in the world beat Iceland wouldnt he? He may end up a top class player but lets not overreact over that game.
He wasn't good at all.
Do you just want a reaction?
Weird post, who said he isn't special?
Tonight wasn't special, nothing to overreact about at all. Save that for when he's ripping it up for Bayern.
Plenty of overhyped players have flopped at the next level. (Cough cough, Memphis, Anderson). I'll save my drooling for when he shows how good he is for Bayern, if he doesn't become the next Götze that is.
Yeah, I thought he looked fined. I actually wanted United to sign him based on what I'd seen of him, but this performance and his one against England which many people had a good wank over, didn't move the needle for me. I think we'll have to wait until he gets settled at Bayern to really see how he adjusts to a new team and is able to inject his talents productively in to their system.
Definitely a talent.
My post wasn't about today's game when he had an OK game. Nothing special.
It's a reference to comments made earlier when we're heavily linked with him.
Very Anderson at his best that cameo
The impressive part for me is, that he is always showing a big will to do something. Nothing wrong with making mistakes, but having the mindset to always try and not giving up is an important factor to grow and getting better. He looks a complete player with extraordinary physical presence and I m convinced he is going to succeed at Bayern.
