I'd welcome the prospect of us offloading both Sanches and Smalling in one fell swoop but i don't think Skriniar is what we need. He's not quick enough and by the looks of it he barely improved his game at Inter.

Yup I feel the same way.

I'm still really pissed at Southgate, and think Smalling should have sued him for his public comments about his perceived poor passing ability. Why would Southgate publicly humiliate someone like that?

This comments have stuck, and I think make many people nervous, no matter how true or false they were. Personally, I'm a big fan of Smalling and think he would be great as part of a CB 4some rotating group at United. Else he'd do very well at a top 10 type club.

That would've been the trial of the decade. Southgate's legal team showing clips of Smalling passing the ball into the stands and Smalling's team replying with clips of every other England defender doing the same.
 
I’ve never seen him play but his compilations do give some indication to what he’s good at - he’s got some ping on him with his left foot and seems to be another Spider in the slide tackes. What I like most though is how he headers the ball like a proper centre back - neck and shoulder back then following through with real force. Even Maguire doesn’t do that!

What’s his speed like? Also considering he seems predominantly left sided, do you think we’d look to move Harry to the right?

There was a thread/line of thought on the caf, not too long ago saying we can't work on deals simultaneously. Are you telling me that was all a lie?!
 
Skriniar isn't very good. If we were that keen on getting a left-footed CB we might as well have signed Ake. Both are average but at least Ake is reasonably quick.
 
That myth should have died out for good when we signed Morgan and Bastian at basically the exact same time. Weird to see it pushed so regularly still.

The funny thing is Smalling probably has 80-90% pass completion because he would mostly be passing to a RB or fellow CB. My problem with his passing is it was always a yard or two behind his teammates meaning they had to turn back and stunting any tempo.
 
Just saw a Tier 1 link to Gabriel, went to see youtube video, found out he is a centre back, threw my phone in disgust.

"Well, I know I'm not a donkey. How do we know that Harry Maguire's not a donkey? Does Harry Maguire have any such certificate?"

I thought he was a huge talent coming in? Has he not lived up to it?

Not necessarily. PSG let him go, and we took him in case he could become a better player. He was someone who demonstrated good technique on the ball to complement his physical attributes, but that's about it.

Good technique and physical gifts are pretty good things to have for a young player.
