Different Perspective-- Players you don't want United to sign in the summer (self.reddevils)

knoxisbackMemphis が 投稿

Been a lot of talk about who we should sign but surely there are opinions about who we shouldn't. Out of the ones we've been linked with, which is a lot, who do you think would be a bad signing (due to quality, price, attitude, etc.)?

My big one is Renato Sanches. The kid's too wildly inconsistent for a commanding transfer fee and we need a world class, more creative midfielder. Not at the stage imo where we should be taking such a gamble.

I don't want us to sign Felipe Anderson. We've been linked to him the past few transfer windows and I don't think he's a £46.8m player. We can get other proven players for the amount we'd need to sign him from Lazio.

  1. Zlatan. I dont think it's worth it to spend a ton of money on a 35 year old player, who might or might not be good enough for us, specially giving the fact that he's so arrogant and would want to play every game and to be the center of attention on and off the football pitch.

  2. Cavani. I'm still not convinced that he's a world class striker. He's missing way too many sitters, his defensive work is fine, but at the end of the day, you're a striker, not a defender. Add to that the price tag and his age, and I'm totally against him.

  3. I dont want us to sign another random youngster for 50+ million pounds. We were lucky with Martial and I'm not sure that would happen again in the near future.

I agree with you about Sanches. It seems like he has what is takes to become a great player, but paying 60 million in hopes that the he will turn out to be great and return that investment is just a huge risk, Especially since we need proven quality to come in and add something new to the team immediately.

For every Martial there's a few Anderson's. We'd be crazy to keep dipping £50m on these kids

[–]Launch_a_poo 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

Anderson's downfall was largely due to his attitude with him getting fat etc.. There are more scenarios than the black and white of Sanches turning into either Martial or Anderson. I'll trust the scouting team on Renato.

[–]fakeplasticairbag 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

There's also Nani, Phil Jones, Wilshere, Veloso, Mangala, Walcott, Quaresma, Bojan and countless others

Loads of ultra talented teenagers never make the step up

It's not about not trusting scouts because we all agree he's a super talented teenager, it's that super talented teenagers very often don't convert that to ability down the road and that's not a scout able thing, it's just the risk of signing kids, which is why you shouldnt spend £50m on them paying proven ability prices for potential

[–]Launch_a_poo 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

These were teenagers with potential but not £30m teenagers like Rooney, Shaw, Martial who we have bought in the past. It's too soon to say if Shaw and Martial wil make it but they're looking good. As I said, I'll trust the scouting team. And potential is a scoutable thing.

Is it your money? I think 60mil doesnt hurt such a brand as Manchester United in the slightest.

It doesn't but if we throw money like that at unproven players imagine what clubs will ask for when they have proven players we're interested in.

Is it your money?

That being said, a little bit of advice for next time, it not hard to make your point without sounding like a bellend.

Zlatan.

With the emergence of Rashford. Signing someone like Ibrahimovic will be a complete circus. I know he's a great striker but I feel with him in the team, the long term effects on Rashford's development will be sizeable.

[–]Launch_a_poo 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

He's 34 so out of all the strikers we're linked with he'll have the least affect on youth. We are in desperate need of goals and as a United fan you can't compain about a lack of goals but then turn down world class goalscorers "so the youth can develop".

I'm not happy with most of the names we've been linked with this summer.

Felipe Anderson is too expensive and just not consistent enough, he's no improvement on someone like Nani.

Sanches seems very expensive for a player of his experience.

I don't know anything about that Rafa guy.

Definitely don't want James either. He's a #10 and lets be honest, Rooney will be playing there next season and James will get shunted out wide where he's too slow. The James transfer sounds like Mata all over again, a signing for the sake of a big-name signing and a player who doesn't really fit us. He'll end up being an expensive elephant in the room like Mata and Felli.

I think Stones is a long way off the standard we need immediately and don't like his price tag. For that money you should be looking for the finished article in Europe.

I'd be happy with Ibra if Rashford was the immediate understudy and Rooney played #10.

I'd really like Gundogan. We need a CM and the price City have been linked with him is very cheap. Instead we're rumoured to be paying twice that for an 18 year old with 6 months senior football.

I don't want us to go crazy in the summer. I think it's imperative we sign 3 top, top players rather than 6 good players. Guys like Rojo, Blind, Schweinsteiger are fine but they're not really improvements on what we had, just... numbers. Go blow £150m on a top CB, CM and RW and get Ibra on a free. I just don't think James, Stones and Sanches are those 3 top players that will get us back to the top next season. They may be great one day but we don't have 5 years spare to wait for that.

I really, really don't think that we should bring back Anderson. Or make any attempt to pick Falcao back up.

Seriously though, brining Ronaldo back is just stupid.

[–]Zxcvbnm123_ 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

Lmao where did you read anderson and falcao back?

[–]Xanian123Shaw -1ポイント0ポイント  (2子コメント)

Felipe Anderson, Ross Barkley, Renato sanches, gaitan (obviously), lukaku and mats hummels.

[–]knoxisbackMemphis[S] 6ポイント7ポイント  (1子コメント)

Hummels? He and Boateng are the best ball-playing defenders around..

[–]mufcirclejerk 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

He's looked very limited this season.
