United are an embarrassment.
While Mount is injured, need to go for Pellestri, he's starting for Uruguay as well. It's now or never.
Eth start Pellestri? Doubt!
While Mount is injured, need to go for Pellestri, he's starting for Uruguay as well. It's now or never.
Where's all this clamour to start Pellistri come from? What has he ever done, at United or any of the clubs he's been loaned to, to suggest that he's good enough to be starting for a top-10 Premier League club?
It comes down to levels again. Pellistri might be half-decent but I think we'll find pretty quickly once the initial enthusiasm and goodwill fades that he'd be a major downgrade on Antony.
I think it's going to have to be Garnacho personally. In a sense, solves a headache for ETH because Garnacho is going to start clamouring for starts and Rashford currently has possession of the AMLF spot. If Garnacho could learn to play effectively on the right, we'll be a stronger XI/squad for it.
If they can patch things up I’d love Sancho to lockdown the RW. I think if he could get his game going (yes I know he hasn’t done it here yet) with Hojlund central and Rashy LW, that would be a very productive front 3 I feel.
However, if that isn’t possible and in Antony’s absence it’ll be a toss up between Facu and Amad from one game to the next unless Erik decides to do something weird with either Bruno or Mount wide right.
Silver lining I suppose, at least we have options there now!
It won’t be PellistriPellistri would be my choice. Give him a few games and if it works it works, if not then Mount.
TBF, it says ‘preferred option’. My post was hypothetical, I acknowledged Sancho shortcomings and I know Amad is currently injured so I’m not sure what the point of your reply was?Sanchos in his 3rd season here and been pish throughout. Nothing he's shown has suggested he'll get his game going.
Amad is injured.
Pretty hilarious that only one of those player’s preferred position is the right wing, and he’s just fallen out with the manager.Why do people keep saying Pellestri? There are about five or six players who would play before him:
In no particular order:
Rashford
Garnacho
Mount
Bruno
Sancho
And Amad when he’s fit and Antony when he’s sorted his issues out.
I’d like his cousin, Ikh bin Berliner.I’d suggest Ikh bin Tonyan, the Armenian player, who is currently a free agent. He is left-footed, and boy, do we have a dearth of them in the squad. He sports a lush beard and a perfectly maintained, yet deceptively thick handlebar moustache. People have said that his shaved head and facial hair make a striking combination. There’s a real marketing opportunity here. With the possibility of selling fake beards à la Tonyan, we could make a real killing. He’s very private, so you may not see a lot a pictures of him being about in the public, but my sources tell me that he was coincidentally released by his club just yesterday, a most serendipitous omen for us. Come on, EtH, sign him up.
Yeah although another two are out for alleged offencesPretty hilarious that only one of those player’s preferred position is the right wing, and he’s just fallen out with the manager.
Amazing how highly Amad is rated, he should stay out of the first team forever they’ll build him a statue.

Most of the Pellistri comments over the last week or so are due to him being the only natural right winger that is likely to be available for the next few games.Why do people keep saying Pellestri? There are about five or six players who would play before him:
In no particular order:
Rashford
Garnacho
Mount
Bruno
Sancho

Don't think it's about believing in him or not at this point, even though he's shown very little to warrant are belief. Don't think Eth is going to back down and he's obviously not by not taking down the tweet so yeah unless this situation is solved soon don't think he plays.Am i the only one who still believes in Sancho?
Mount is out for a few more weeks no?Antony and Sancho are out so Pellistri or Mount are the only options
He hasn’t done anywhere near enough to deserve another shot. Bench player at best until he shows he’s with a chance. Or if January comes quicker hopefully move him on.Am i the only one who still believes in Sancho?
Yes, why would you believe him in?Am i the only one who still believes in Sancho?
Let's have a celebrity guest each week.
I think Idris Elba at RW v Brighton will be great.
Dan James all over againPretty sure he's a Gooner, how about Usain Bolt?
Sancho but he’s an idiot.
Unless it’s a way of giving him enough rope to hang himself. When he’s predictably pants ETH can tell him ‘told you so’.You can't reward him with a start after his stupid tweet. It will make ETH look weak.
