Good ball carrier, good under pressure, creative passer, flamboyant, scores goals. Doesn't give the ball away a lot, tenacious and hard working. Real competition for McGinn. Probably better than McGinn! 25 mill 2 goals and 4 assists in near 1900 mins and I'm sure at least 1 of the goals was a pen. Not that I'm not keen on him but can't get a game now (frozen out?) Those numbers make him a poor man's Buendia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dzeko just got older and fell away from collective consciousness is all. He's always been at top clubs, he's won the league in Germany and England, Manchester City paid a club record fee for him when they bought him and he'd have been one of the best paid players on their books during his time in the Premier League and it seems his departure from Manchester City was to create space in the squad for de Bruyne and Raheem Sterling. Dzeko has done incredibly well to sustain a career at the top level after turning 35 but I don't think anybody has ever not rated him. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering what Emery wants from an RB his profile is actually pretty ideal given how strong he generally is one on one defending. Effectively two years left on his deal as Man. United will take up 12 month option on his contract so you'd suspect they'd be open to offers in 25-30m which isn't too bad when you think we paid around 20m for Cash and he hadn't played a single minute in premier league.

Well sure but he’s been top scorer in the Bundesliga and Serie A, won multiple league titles, etc - he’s a level above even if underrated at times - so it’d be nice but it’s a bit like saying it would be nice to find a player like Riyadh Mahrez! I know what you mean though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to undermine your point but we paid £14m for Cash and so even if your valuation is right United would want double that (and I think they’d want more).

Believe me it is and anything like that is too destructive to the team and morale , way too many changes, i’m happy with bailey to swapped with nico williams and ramsey for someone in that position with superior quality and consistency and to wrap it up we need a new RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of the above I’d question Lo Celso and Guendouzi as I’m not sure they’re next level players. If you swapped Lo Celso out for Mikel Merino and Guendouzi out for Otavio then I’d agree to 4 challenging side. Personally I’d like to see a ball playing CB at RB such as Timber but I get the Wan Bissaka inclusion if our preference is RB qualities over CB qualities for that hybrid role. Your probably the closest to myself in terms of how we see the game, i echo everything said here , my only concern with otavio is height but again not major.

Depends what they do in the summer. Another RB in and Dalot has played fairly regularly so feel Wan Bisakaa is expendable and Man. United have issue of players just hanging around never playing e.g Axel so think they realise they need to cash in on some of their squad players. Palace wouldn't pay 35-40m for him, not sure West Ham would either so he'll be in 25-30m bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustibrooks Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Regarding Pau Torres, I’ve seen a few fans of La Liga teams say he’s quite bad in the air and would probably get dominated a lot in the prem. Anyone that’s watched him more in the last year or so that can chime in? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 I'd rather we spent money on an Elite prospect ( IE, one which is already young and close to Mings level, but with a higher ceiling ) to be Mings backup and long term replacement, than to blow big money on one which might not work out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The position I'm ear marking him for isn't even where Buendia is playing. Plus Buendia's a bloody lightweight so shouldn't really be played in midfield.
