What’s this got to do with Scott.
Wrong thread I’m assuming. Maybe about Ruud?
He thinks McTominay should apply for the Sporting job. I think they are going with their U21 coach from what I've heard and it would be a hell of a commute but he's a hard worker.
He’s killing the league with his supporting runs behind the CF and that team-first attitude required by Conte.
Ten Hag? Van Nistelrroy? It seems a bit of a stretch to me: these are not clubs waiting for such applications with starry eyes, really.
Napoli literally couldn't get the ball over the halfway line yesterday without Kvara carrying it from their third to Inter's. All they did was defend with 11 men behind the ball throughout the 90 minutes, hoping to capitalize on mistakes. This still works apparently in the bubble that is the modern Serie A, but it amazes me that, when Conte does it, it's tactical acumen and understanding of his players' abilities. When Allegri does it, it's simply not good enough. Happy for McT leaving his mark in a big game, but let's not kid ourselves here.
So he's scored 3 goals.. happy for him but the way some people are going on you'd swear he's scored 15 and is playing like Zidane
One of them was against Serie B Palermo. People are overreacting as per usual when an ex player scores a goal.
The welbeck thread probably still gets bumped now.
And he’s playing exactly how he played here — exact same strengths and weaknesses. Really not much to write about here
He is not that good…
He can’t make Napoli‘s list of chances creators:

Welbeck would walk into our team now.
Decalan Rice is a CDM or defensive b2b, McTominay is a Second striker cant compare the two. Now he has a manager playing style of football which suits him and utilize him well. WOuld never happen in a top club. where you would prefer more creative player. Great for Scott he can reestablish himself. But win win he was moved on.
He's started this season well, but generally he's only good for 6 league goals a season.
Reminds me of Sancho loan to Dortmund last season.
He's on 6 already!
Yeah, like I said, he's started this season well. However, in general he scores 6 league goals a season which is nowhere near good enough.
I mean yeah he'd have scored less in earlier seasons because he was playing as a holding mid.
He got 7 (10 overall) in the league last season playing in a more advanced roll and seems to be on track to beat that this season.
I wouldnt double down on your claim he's only good for 6, when he clearly isn't?
Right now, who would you pick up front in a starting 11, Welbeck or Hojlund?
Right now, Welbeck is definitely the better player. I guess the hope is that Hojlund has a lot of room to grow. Time will tell, I guess.
Good piece of business to get rid of him for the money Napoli offered, as always some of the fans in our fanbase have alarmingly low standards. McTominay was never good enough for us, the fact he had over 200 appearances for us sums up how far we have fallen after SAF retired.
If only we could move on some of the other chancers in our squad.

Welbeck mate.
Højlund. To put things into perspective, Højlund last season as a 20/21 year old, scored more goals in a single league campaign than Welbeck ever has. This as well in his debut season, in a new country, having taken a few months to really get going. Also, playing for a team who really struggled.
Brighton have an established, coherent style that all of their players fit into like a glove. Clearly something that we haven't had. Hopefully that changes under Amorim, particularly where Højlund is concerned as stylistically he is pretty similar to Gyokeres.
Yup. Not sure why we pine after ex players so much on here. Remember when everyone wanted Cleverly gone and then when he did, there was a mini outrage?
Welbeck wasn't good enough then and he isn't now.
Yeah. Its way too early to be writing players off given the car crash they have been playing under.
Totally messed up here, posted to the completely wrong thread, aye - this was supposed to be on the Ruud thread!
People criticize McT by saying you shouldn't judge everything by goals and then throw shade at Welbeck by judging everything by goals.
Good goal. Good player to have in the box ol McTomTom
It may be the nostalgia talking, but I cant help but feel he would’ve been a lethal asset as one of the 10s under Amorim
If only we played him more upfront during his academy years, maybe he would turn out to good enough to start upfront for us.
Can't believe people are reminiscing about this guy. He had more stinkers than middle of the road performances for this club. About time we started trimming the squad of players like this, and hopefully it will continue next summer.
it would be funny if he win Serie A with Napoli. Ex united players went to seria A usually wins the league
Happy to see him doing so well. Was quite underrated here.
