What I'm saying is that it helps a great deal. There is no two ways about it, quality is what is winning titles today. Maybe there was a time when motivated average players did a job but the smell of the coffee has changed.
You mean like all the way back to last season when Leicester won the league and this season when they went further than any other English team in the PL?
Alonso, Moses are average players but did well enough to win the league, same with Willian (isn't average but isn't great player too) when Jose won the league. Winning the league is all about how balanced your team is. If Jose thinks Perisic brings that balance then why not?
I was like who are you lads talking to, then saw 'show ignored content' below.
I would be more bothered about us not getting someone to put the ball in the net. That is my one dread. In fact two people who can put the ball in the net. I don't think the other areas are as vital. We finished where we did because we couldn't score goals.
People keep saying this. A quality player is a quality player. Jose has managed all types of players throughout his career, this "doesn't fit Jose's profile" stuff people have started peddling is one of the weirdest things in recent times. Seems like an attempt at trying to seem knowledgeable whilst simultaneously being dismissive/playing down when we get linked with players of lower quality than our rivals.
Bloody state of it in here - where are the Tweets?
Some of you would find a way to moan about literally anything.
Ban me if you want mods (please don't) but RedCafe is full of spoilt, whinging, impatient cnuts.

All thanks to City signing Silva. The fact that he was linked to us for the past couple of months but signed for City without much noise doesn't help either.
Las couple of months?
Canal + linked him to us and that was about it.
Obsession with City here. My god.
Agree it's so annoying all the whining, the transfer window isn't actually open yet and people think that city have got the title wrapped up for next season already just for signing Bernardo and maybe Mendy. People need to chill the feck out.

Isn't the whole premise of this post ironic?
Incidentally I posted in the Silva thread in Feb and in April as well, him being linked to us.
Id love to see superstar signings but lets be real, Fergie hardly ever made any superstar signings, Jose won more last season with his team and the players he bought. I put my trust in whoever Jose signs and think he will get it right.
If we don't sign striker then I will be worried too. At the same time we need winger too, I mean someone who plays wide rather than always cutting in. We could have avoided this signing if we had better width from fullbacks but for atleast left side it's non existent.
This, this and this. To the max.
They wanted to sell him earlier?
It's not about the early signings, it's about the quality of the players they have been linked with and they have already signed one good plwyer. While we are being linked with average players like Dier and Keane and even Perisic who may or may not be average. You are talking as if the season for City was over a month ago. We are concerned because this transfer window is an important one and could be difference between fighting for the title or fighting for top 4. I trust Jose but I can't say the same about Woodward who might be more interested in getting more sponsors.
Of course they want to keep him!
Woodward will want a really big signing to add to his reputation and to sell shirts. As long as that player fits in with Jose's plans. We need to sell shirts, like it or not to maintain our status as one of the biggest clubs.
Whole page and 1 actual tweet..

!That many?Whole page and 1 actual tweet..
Shame about that release clause then
Why are some people acting all crazy now. We will have the best team in England after the transfer window. Have some faith in Mourinho and Woodward.
Firstly, you should realise sponsors are very important to us. We are not being owned by a sugar daddy like Chelsea, City or PSG. We actually need to earn money first to be able to spend it.
Secondly, it's not even June yet FFS
Stop panicking, we will be linked with pretty much everyone in the world but it doesn't mean we are signing them...At the end of the day we need defenders who can defend and forwards who can score. Dier and Keane may not be the best in the world but they do their job very well and thats what is important
Have you any idea how ridiculous you sound!
Ok I'm ridiculous, but I guess you would rather wait till City and some other team get all our targets while we sign average players like Dier.
You don't even know who are targets are.Ok I'm ridiculous, but I guess you would rather wait till City and some other team get all our targets while we sign average players like Dier.
If José thinks signing 4 more Fellainis and 3 Youngs will win him the title, that's he's prerogative. If you have the man the option between Neymar and Perisic, I bet he happily go for the latter. That's José for you. The man doesn't know what to do with flair players, who tend towards the inventive and creative side of the game. And it is simply because Jose's brand football cannot accommodate such players.
I can bang on about how tumescent, unexciting, negative and rudimentary Jose's football is, history will show that he has won things. The football this season in large parts was disappointing imo, the man has convinced fans that we have done a treble, two of which could easily gone in favour of the opposition bar some last minute interventions. This is what José is about.
The general point being raised from the complains is that football has evolved and this rudimentary football that relies primarily on sheer will and grit (fair play to him as it has served him well in the past) will hardly cut it anymore. An overwhelming proportion of the best teams play a more progressive brand of football and that is made easier by having and properly using these 'special' players to great effect. Sadly, I predicted that Micky and Martial will struggle under José at the start of the season, which is why I have not been critical of them. They are the only flair players we have and their survival depends on their ability to adapt against their natural inclination. I hope we sign Griezmann too but I'd hate to see him burdened with more defensive duties than necessary but it will happen.
Secondly, I think fans of Manchester United have the right to demand and expect a more pleasing brand of football and having these special players grace OT. It's a real shame when the potential absence of Fellaini for the bloody EL final would have thrown a spanner in the works for a United manager. When the only way the likes of Herrera, Mata, Valencia become more likeable to United fans is to become gritty, it shows the direction we could be heading.
At the end of the day José is the manager and if he thinks that a more skillful Lingard is what he needs, good luck to him and ask we can do is how for the best. But as United fans I think we need and deserve more.
Ok I'm ridiculous, but I guess you would rather wait till City and some other team get all our targets while we sign average players like Dier.
For feck sake
Just wondering, have you every really seen any of their reported targets play 90 minutes or just youtube highlights? As for example Bernardo Silva, if he will replace David Silva, I don't think he is that much of an upgrade.Ok I'm ridiculous, but I guess you would rather wait till City and some other team get all our targets while we sign average players like Dier.
If you don't that is an anomaly, fine. Even José has said, anything is possible when little or no pressure abounds. If it can make Rooney look like Scholars it can make Leicester City do things like that. Hopefully, we will never be at the point where we would not be under pressure
This might just push the CAF over a cliff.
Good post, I wouldnt agree on Rose but pretty much the rest, irrelevant anyway. Totally agree with the point you are making. I wouldnt have minded Silva or Mendy and when we signed DiMaria though I was happy I personally would have preferred Sanches, always been a fan but stance has changed a bit on him this season.
There seems to be an obsession with the Monaco players and then the same 9-10 names due to press rumours, it is as though there are only 20 good players available this summer from the papers.
Personally I think there are loads of players in the German league not getting so many mentions like Weigl, like Sanches who hasnt beome a player in one season and also loads of players we havent seen that much of, just look at the two young Ajax centre backs, both looked top drawer.
I can see why if we are only signing four players, names like Perisic are not that exciting (he is a decent player though). But until something happens we really dont know who are targets are, lets face it the press have generally only got one name right in there links the last few windows. Mkhitaryian and Bailly were barely mentioned until the transfer negotiations were really advanced.
I don't want to get offtopic because this isnt the thread for it, but when you hire Mourinho, you give him the players you want and build the team as he sees fit, we may deserve better football but then we should have made a different decision on managers, no point asking Mourinho to change what he does best.
Also dont agree with saying football is more progressive and moved on from his gritty tactics, he knocked out Peps Barca side with Inter for example, who were at the time the most progressive football team ever. His style works, give him the players he wants.
Ok I'm ridiculous, but I guess you would rather wait till City and some other team get all our targets while we sign average players like Dier.
Exactly this!
He trusts Mourinho though so we can all take sollace from that at least
