I am inclined to agree, he is a bit of a wimp, but those other three are just injuries waiting to happen. It does not matter if you are good defensively if you are always injured. They are also rather reckless.

IMO Smalling has the most value out of those players. Which is probably what it comes down too. Im fine with Maguire, Lindelof, Axl and let Jones/Rojo/Baily fight it out for 4th choice who ever is fit that week.
 
I like what ole is doing. While I think transfer fees are insane if they get results we want then nobody will care. When city and PSG arrived this was inevitable and then was worsened by PL money. If solskjaer was adamant it had to be Maguire rather than cheaper alternative, I’m happy to back him and support him. If lukaku goes in a straight swap for Dybala then 145m on wan bissaka, Maguire, James and Dybala is actually not that bad. Can hopefully recoup some money for darmian and rojo also.
 
:lol:
May I ask why?

Goal scoring record
The fact that he is a pure striker, which is hard to come by these days
PL-prove seems to be important on this forum so I might as well give that as a reason too


Say all you want about lukaku, but he will score goals. Especially with decent supply.
We get a decent deal, but it ain't robbery :)
 
Hate Mike gets here or strange. Some would even keep Jones over him.

I have never liked or rated Smalling highly since he signed for us. Jones is in same boat for me. Think they will both be safe though.
 
Agreed. Mike is our second or third best CB now that Maguire has joined. No way should we sell him before Rojo, Bailly, or Jones.
Think Smalling is cowardly at times when faced with pace, but he is still better those latter three. Us chucking contracts at them was ridiculous, it was to add value to them, but has actually made them worthless.

It really does not matter does it. What I mean is what's really the difference between Smalling and Jones. Smalling can't pass and Jones cant stay fit and both are not elite defensively anyway. (Btw I see Rojo as worse than both.) Now I like Smalling more than Jones but really neither are good enough.
 
Daylight robbery?
Ain't wanted by Juve & he had a poor season, partly by being shoehorned into other positions on the pitch.
Will come to united and will also be shoehorned into a position that doesn't suit him.

Eventhough, I'm not a fan of Lukaku, I value him higher than Dybala.
Oh well, up to OGS to show he can unlock the potential of Dybala.

I don’t see him being shoehorned in at all. We’ve been playing 4-2-3-1 with Mata or Lingard at no 10 most of pre-season.

I’d imagine Dybala will go in there as it’s his best position and play behind Rashford/Martial.
 
I wouldn't mind Smalling going to be honest, with VAR he will get sent off and give penalties away every time he plays.
I totally agree with this! He also does not suit the system OGS wants to play. Teams will love running against him every time we lose possession.

In any case we should keep Mike and should got rid of Jones long time ago.

12 goals last year
16 goals year before
Less than 1in 2 everywhere he has played club football.
These are facts. I know people like to ignore them, but they are facts.

Was it not 23 goals the year before?
And his link up play is better so we should get some assists out of him. The only assist from Lukaku hit off his arse.
 
Deligjted to have Maguire coming in. Wasn't really that keen on him until I saw his highlights. I know it shows him at his best, but getting a CB who is a serious threat on corners/freekicks and is great at ball carrying is something we absolutely need. He's of course also a really good defender and I think his partnership with Lindelöf will also enhance Lindelöf's abilities, given what Lindelöf has had to deal with next to him.
 
Everton were in for Malcom, but Zenit got him. Everton had Zouma on loan last year and seemed to be getting him again this year. Wonder if Zenit hijacked that.

Nah, think they mean now that they got Malcom, Everton can focus on Zouma instead or whatever. Dont think Zouma would move to Zenith
