He played in the recent France games no? How was he then?
Samuel Umtiti
- Thread starter davidmichael
- Start date
Good at the exception of the game against Turkey where everyone was bad.
If he can stay fit, it would be an amazing signing. Much better (and cheaper) than Maguire.
We should pass on Kane then as well?

I am neither against nor in favour of this signing. Buy you have to acknowledge that its a risk. Even @JPRouve seem to agrees to that and he is way more knowledgeable on French talent then I do
It'd be stupid to say No if his knee is fine.
It'd be stupid to say Yes if his knee is fecked.
No one here knows about his knee so all this is a bit meh

Yeah of course. It's a big risk considering our history with players like that. But the upside considering the CB pool is really worth a shot IMO!
In this case its different. Umtiti torn his ACL when he was young and had a bad surgery and it took a lot of time to recover, he injured his acl again in 2017 and opted not to get surgery because he was scared of having surgery again. He's playing with an acl injury that wasn't treated.We should pass on Kane then as well?

I have been living with a torn ACL. You are not the same. The additional strain on your other muscles and other leg makes you injury prone. In fact, I just tore the calf muscle in my 'good' ACL leg playing tennis which I believe was due to the additional load. Don't sign Umtiti with a torn ACL please.
Not to mention that no ACL adds extra strain on your already injured knee.
Fair play to him though, he's playing top level football with no ACL
He will be done by the age of 28 at this rate.Sounds like he's a talented crock. No thanks.
Big risk injury prone. The last thing we want is signing another Jones.
There is a good reason if Barcelona is opening the door for him.
Even so, I have a feeling he will fail the medical since I remember read the news that he’s been playing with his injury.

Had to read the story again, he injured his knee when he was 17 and had a bad surgery and he torn his meniscus after that and never had surgery. He now has no cartilage on his knee and that causes all the problems.
I thought I read the injury he had along with the ACL was the same as Ledly King in that he has no cartilage in his knee.
French Ledley king, stay the hell away!
Thanks. The profile is quite attractive and he's obviously a good player, I'm just very wary of his knee exploding when we need him the most.
Didn't know that.
Knew he didn't have operation on it the second time, but not that he didn't have cartilage.. Means we should stay away then and you are right!
No one knows that, no one knows much about the injury at the exception of Umtiti, Barcelona and the FFF.
That's troublesome if true. I would expect a medical to highlight such issues though.
Plenty of teams in pl still have a striker who is strong the air, not traditional target men per se, but still strong in attacking crosses.You take last season alone, the likes of Jimenez, Murray, Kane, Lukaku, Rondon, Barnes, Mitrovic, Giroud and even Fellanini. It doesn't matter how good your positioning is, your full back gets beat and a cross is whipped in..... It's also not just in attacking crosses. I referenced the Kane goal. Spurs kick off, long punt upfield, Jones is on Kane, not neccessairly bad positioning but he's done in the air and the flick on leads to a goal. It's not just short central defenders, Lindelof isn't short but he's not strong in the air. If we did persue Umtiti it would presumably be to partner him.In europe and v the likes of City and Liverpool, that would be strong as they don't play with high balls but we could suffer against lower teams is all I'm saying

You can see there they've tried different types of treatments, that was in september last year. After using that treatment he injured himself again and missed 3 months (19 games) and missed 32 games in 2018 in total.
wouldn't the medical he did at Barca have shown that
I thought the 2nd injury happened at Barca?
yeah that would make sense, I didn't realise there was a 2nd injury
Barca wouldn’t sell him if they thought he was over his injury woes
We may be desperate for a top class cb but I hope we’re not stupid

They would only be selling him of it helped them buy de Ligt so I reckon he's off the menu. Broken or not.
Id say let's take him on a loan + with the chance of buying him up at the end of the year
Wouldn't there be a medical exam once terms are agreed to? Wouldn't we be able to scupper the deal if the medical showed a permanent issue with the knee?
We deffo need more CBs with injury problems.

All those knee injuries! A chance he'll never play again. Welcome to the Injured Defender's Club Sam!
Kane’s injury concerns are slowly becoming a problem, for what it’s worth. He’s an excellent striker all the same.We should pass on Kane then as well?

It would have made sense had united sealed de Ligt transfer. de Ligt and Umititi would have instantly made our defense best in EPL.
Was really keen on this with us missing out on main targets at CB. Didn't realise his knee issues were that bad. If he has no knee cartilage then he'll be in and out the treatment room constantly and won't be able to train much. Basically Ledley King.
We dodged a bullet on this guy
