Would make more sense to go visit his family and wait.
If I may ask, when you say a player is 'technically good', what exactly do you have in mind because I thought we had a good number of our players technically good?
Players like Pogba, Mata, Mkhitaryan, players with great first touches, the ability to move the ball with close control and thus avoid the press.
You don't give us much of a choice basically spamming this thread with complaint after complaint.
It's eerily similar to your meltdown during the Bernardo Silva saga. And see how that turned out.
Yes, we get that you don't like the players we are signing and would rather watch La liga or the Bundesliga, but does it have to be every page of this thread with the same complaint about the lumps we are signing.
That's not true at all, I've made maybe 4 or 5 posts in this thread in the last 24 hours, I have not spammed anything, and no one said a thing when I posted the positve stuff about Morata but the moment I don't tow the party line it becomes an issue.
Also for the record I didn't metldown over Bernardo or Griezmann, I was annoyed about the Perisic link and then got banned for a week because my view wasn't a positve one, I never insulted any other poster or broke a rule in the FAQ.
For me the tiring part is that it is not just this thread, and not just a post or two. It's the hammering of it over and over and over...
Okay. I understand your perspective now. I use a broader definition of 'technical' in describing players.
I've noticed that although you don't seem to put it this way but the ability to 'dribble' in tight spaces is part of what you like to see in players and I have to say that you are right about that with regards to the United squad. We seem to lack such players. Martial and Miki are closest to that but they were underwhelming last season. Such players can cut through defences and cause havoc. We need one or two of such. All the top 5 teams have one or two of such players except, perhaps Spurs.
But the manager is Jose. He will likely be Germany's coach rather than Brazil's coach. Germany wins a lot by relying on organisation, precision, efficiency and other techniques rather than skillful, ball juggling, players who can dribble exceptionally well. Jose will focus primarily on building such a team. If the dribblers happen to be there, then fine. I think that has always been his approach.
As someone else said, I should have been more worried when Mourinho took over, but I bought into his presser about building a different profile or team at United.
It goes on and on and on...
I'm sure there might be some valid reasons for not wanting some of the players we are linked with, but we got it the first time.
And you are right about it not just being in this thread. Just sticks out more in a thread like this one though.
So, from the last few pages , we are not interested in scoring goals nor winning trophies, pass it around a lot and avoid scoring at all costs, sounds like LVG is back.
The apathy towards quality players is quite alarming!
What debacle? Everything is going smoothly.
According to Porky Parry on Talksport, Rooney is an Everton playing and he is waxing lyrical over him as are Everton fans.
£75m, then £90m. Pursuing Morata allegedly. When I see that pic with whoever is holding the shirt, I'll believe it. But Rodriguez would be my dream signing. After that I wouldn't be bothered about anything else...within reason of course.
So newspaper reports having different numbers on a transfer is a debacle? By that logic, every transfer is a debacle. Nobody knows the exact price any more. Craig Norwood has already confirmed that the transfer is done.
Let's be honest, it has been pretty shite this season. Inflated fees and wage demands, transfer bans, ridiculous buy-out clauses, clubs playing hardball. Never known a season like it.
Most clubs are in the same boat to be fair. If Atletico had never received their ban, things would have gone a lot more smoothly for a lot of clubs.
He'll retire one day and think 'how the feck am I a millionaire?'
To be fair, he tends to find some talent down the back of the sofa when he plays Liverpool.
It really happened.
Would be a good signing for United, a wide option with goal threat. Better than paying 44m for Perisic surely.
Plus he sounds like he's the illegitimate offspring of a Colombian drug lord and Sandra from Wigan.
I absolutely believe he wants to build a different team, not just Chelsea Mk2. There is no reason why Lukaku and even players like Perisic can't be part of that. You need a mix of water carriers and technical players to do it.
Also, we did play so very good football in the first 3/4 of the season. Add a few more goals in and we will be up there.
I believe in him, maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised?
I didn't feel there was nearly that much personally.
I'd prefer to just play Mata than bring in another non pacey wideman.
There was a fairly long spell, especially in home games where we were playing some really good stuff that should have been rewarded with some absolute goal fests.
For whatever reason we could barely score a goal against anyone though, and saved the drubbings for the cup.
You can't tell me numerous games, like Stoke, West Ham, Burnley just for three shouldn't have been 3,4,5 nillers rather than draws
Conte is going to be pissed if they can't get rid.
Debacle?
He is partially at fault too.
I'm not saying we were vintage throughout but the pragmatic end to the season erased a lot of the good stuff from people's memories IMO. There's also no doubt putting away more chances would have improved everyone's perception.
