It’s his profile. Tall, fast, strong, smart and projection to get better. He’s a PL star at 19 in a role that hard.

But I wouldn’t blame you for not seeing it. Usually, his profile is likened to Giroud because many Arsenal fans to date don’t get what Giroud brought. So, strikers of a similar profile still rub this fanbase the wrong way.

That’s why it’s very surprising that people have warmed up to a Xhaka profile early. We don’t usually get it until later.

Solid recruitment. They found a Kocku almost instantly.

I wouldn’t take him again.

I despised his playing style especially since it didn’t achieve anything worth remembering. You only worship if it delivers something because that’s all the fun you get.

But he knew how to play chess in big games and as always when I look back, the squad he had had no business doing things I hoped it would. All members of that recruitment team downgraded. He at least managed a Europa League and is back in the PL.

And if this guy ever gets an elite finisher + an overlapping CM or FB, it’s over. We are talking 40+ G/A.

Except there is no shagging. His team is limp.

How on earth do you fail to beat a Torreira Ndombele pivot?

That won’t happen.

We might get reality checks as the CL progresses but that’s what playing your best team does.

I’m just so confused by the result.

I’ve just seen it and Manchester United is a very unserious club. You get a chance to battle a Torreira/Ndombele midfield and concede 3?

It won’t be narrow.

Torreira and Ndombele as a pivot is stuff of nightmares. We’d put 10 against them.

If Manchester United lose to that Galatasaray midfield, someone should lose a job.

Partey is still Partey.

I agree with most of what you’re saying but with Partey, at least Rice will be able to shoot at goal in central positions. Only Trossard seems to do it well.

Yeah. Fitness is never negotiable.

"Why aren’t they showering us with praises at [insert total sub]?

He hasn’t reached “enviable” levels but I dread the day he finishes his dinner.

He’s been okay. Maybe not the player people thought he was but he has been serviceable.

Mega name: Zubimendi release clause(£53M) or £60M - Douglas Luiz.

Other names: Nico Williams( FREE).

Budget CF: Hugo Ekitike(£40M)

The last names can be players on their last contracts. The Diomande guy is expensive and I feel Manchester United or Chelsea might make him a priority.

Good one.

Jefferson Farfan(PSV) in 2006/7.

There should be a third option. Osimhen is feeding off something I feel we don’t have. And Vlahovic who had fitness as the edge over Osimhen has also started getting screwed.

This was all over the media. There was even proof that we had found remedies for him in the first XI – twice (Declan Rice as DM, and Timber as the inverter from the right).

All teams that wanted him couldn’t afford him. It was almost like the Lacazette to Lyon transfer before it happened.

He needs two other names; an LCM and an ultra-creative force wide. All strikers we might we might need that.
