He’s not good enough for United, but still a good player. I’d have liked him at Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 James just needs a good coach to really work on his game, he's a bit like Traore was a few years back, gets into dangerous areas and then dosen't have a clue what to do. Bielsa tried to sign him before so really interested how he develops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Here is a thread by the famous Swedish author Fredrik Backman("A man called Ove") on why he can't be Man United-supporter anymore. First he write about the rape case against Ronaldo and then his view on being a football fan. Interesting read and I see if I can Google Translate it all later.

VillaChris Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Just me amazed they didn't sign a CM. Seems a bit like that window they had years back under Van Gaal when they signed likes of Di Maria and Falaco and people were falling over themselves to make them serious title contenders and in the end they didn't even finish top 4 due to average defence and midfield options. What are the options again? Fred who was terrible v Wolves, McTominay who can have good games but also days when he can't pass water (first half v us near end of last season he was constantly giving us the ball) and looks like Pogba will be played in deeper position but he's inconsistant in that role. Matic is done starting games at prem level now as he was terrible v Southampton so seems a bit like us, they look very strong in defence and attack now but many games are still decided by midfield control and tempo and they've neglected that so don't think Wolves away will be the last time this season they've dominated in central areas and by quick counter attacks.

villalad21 Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Can't see them finishing higher than 3rd this season. I mean City, Liverpool and Chelsea all look great this season so United will realistically finish 4th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Ronaldo has got the 7 shirt Cavani to 21 Only happened because of Dan James leaving. Did they deliberately sell him for that reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting how that plays out, Bruno is pretty s*** for Portugal most games with them all having to bow down to Ronaldo. And yes Ronaldo going to be on pens all the time unless he misses a few early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
