      Frimpong is a good attacking full-back but I'm not fully convinced that he can play as a true winger, he would suit Inter or Madrid far better
      Skov Olsen or Nicolas Gonzales would be my pick for RW

    Todibo is a must at CB. If Neves is not available, I'd love to see United go for Amadou Onana. Another player we could sign for cheap and can throw in just to cause some menace in certain problematic scenarios (I know it's a luxury signing, but could be a good squad player) is Adama Traore. Finally, for a striking partner for Hojlund, I'd love to see United sign Vlahovic. Hojlund + Vlahovic can light up the whole league and can have a combined impact comparable to Haaland + Alvarez.

    In a Set up of Lisandro, Todibo, frimpong, Shaw, Mainoo, Neves, Bruno etc Hojlund can definitely lead that line and score all the goals he wants, this stuff of age doesn't matter here. Halaand is scoring goals for fun simply because he's playing in a creative set-up and he's also a good player without doubt

  • @cybermanne
    @cybermanne 4 місяці тому +42

    Signing Frimpong as a winger sounds like a really interesting move. I like both Dalot and AWB, but if we have a winger that can also play as RFB or RWB if we need to change things up seems very valuable. I really like that idea.
    I doubt it's possible, but if we could get Guirassy for 17M in January, and Todibo in some kind of shady loan deal from Nice also in January maybe there is room to manouver for Frimpong also in January. I think that would plug up the most dire holes. Maybe we could even wait until summer to get Todibo if there is no loan to be had for him.
    Neves in the summer would be awesome. My only issue with signing him is that maybe we would need someone a bit bigger somewhere in that midfield. Mainoo and Neves together could potentially be a bit small. But maybe they are both tenacious enough and clever enough in positioning to overcome their vertical challenges...

      @LongC0cky 4 місяці тому +1

      I think that’s where our sporting directors and scouts need to go out and find a tall physical but technical player to add to our midfield with starter quality/potential I’d look at Loftus Cheek if I’m honest he’s been outstanding for Milan this season and the depth we’d have would allow him to avoid his injury problems which he has done for Milan this season he’d probably cost 40Ms max I’d rather him than Onana for 70 who Everton have looked just as good without him this season

    • @LongC0cky
      @LongC0cky 4 місяці тому

      I also the signing of Frimpong is smart at Rw however he is a bit more of a Rb there’s a reason he doesn’t start at Rw I still think we’d need another 1 would I would personally love Chiesa however I know that’s a reach but someone I’d love just as much would be Olise with Frimpong as a back up Rw if needed I’d rather start him as our Rb as hopefully by then we’d have a certified quality RCB like Diomande

    It is also mentioned that we need approval of Ineos to make any decision as of now. They would probably also want to make minimum changes before they do their evaluation.

    I also feel like we'll need to replace Eriksen soon and PSV's Joey Veerman looks like a perfect replacement. I know Ten Hag bought Mount for that but i hope he finally comes through for us but if not Veerman is a very good replacement.

    Nevez, Antonio Silva and Frimpong are interesting additions maybe in the summer but we desperately need to sell our deadwood with high wages to comply with FFP and the homegrown English quota. TBF I'd rather we focus on developing our academy and buy just one status signing of this mold every window. As long as the incomings are balanced with outgoings and we trim our squad off McTominay, Lindelof, Martial, Donny, Amrabat, Maguire, (Eriksen and Varane for their injuries too) that would be progress.

    For the last 3 months, i've always thought Utd 1st priority in January is a rcb but i changed my mind. We need a striker so bad. After 19 games, Utd scored 21 goals. Top 5 got about double that number. That's what it takes to get a Champions League spot. Our gd is -4..yeah minus..no other club in top 10 got a minus. So an experienced striker should be our1st priority. Hwang or Guirassy could be a great choice. They got their pros & cons, offer different qualities & both are not that expensive

    These young players are all interesting and very capable physical wise. Another big question is their mental resilience and toughness. It is one thing to play for their currents clubs, quite another thing to play for United, perhaps the most scrutinized club in the world, where expectations from the fans, pundits, influencer UA-camrs like StatmanDave are massive. Expectations are to win most games, trophies, at the very least champions league football every year, expectations and scrutiny are massive, thus the United badge is extreme heavy, putting massive amount of mental pressure on the players and managers at the club. That is just how it is.
    When @ManUtd go out pay like 70-90 mill. pounds for young players, it ia a disservice to the player, as pressure only grows exponentially. It is a disservice to the player, to manager and to the club. Because massive expectations arise with the overprise, putting massive pressure on the players being bought with high price and high wages. We have seen that many times, also in other clubs like Chelsea, with young players bought in with price tag around 100 mill.
    We see the players doing well at former smaller clubs, where the scrutiny and expectations are smaller, perhaps exectations are staying in the premier league, top ten or similar. So when they go to United many may be surprised of how massive the pressure is. This has to be accounted when assessing potential targets. A player like Diomande doing well at Sporting, just starting to make a name, no high expectations because nobody know him, no high price tag, not expected to "save" Sporting, they just expect Sporting to do well and Sporting do well in the Portuguese league with not that many equal rivals. But if United buy him, paying like 60-80 mill., then already before he comes to the United, expectations will be massive as will the pressure. It is a whole different type of pressure than he is use to, a whole new exposure and scrutiny in the media, the fans, UA-camrs etc. Has a 20 year old kid the mental resilience to cope with that? We have seen many times they cannot, we can probably name many players cracking under the pressure at places like Manchester United, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Juventus and a few other big clubs. This has to be taken into account. If these young players do not perform from day 1, then already we will start to ask questions wether they are good enough, "why did United pay so much money, get rid of him, and get this other 21 year old doing well at this "small club". And cycle continues. This is not a sustainable recruitment strategy.

    • @jenserikck
      @jenserikck 4 місяці тому

      We know these young players have the talent, the stats looks good. The mental resilience and toughness is just an unknown factor. It is a big risk, when paying so many money. Another, in my opinion, better recruitment strategy may be recruiting young talents from South America paying like 5 mill. for the likes of Caicedo. Oscar Zambrano is mentioned, Andre from Fluminese, Redondo mentioned for 9 mill.
      But when recruiting players expected to be part of the starting 11, players that cost 60-100 mill., maybe more, it should be players with good amount of experience, proven mental resilience in big games, preferably players who are 25+ years old. And when wanting to get 20-22 year olds, United should pay reasonable prices, not overpaying too much above market value. Paying 80-85 for 21-22 olds is a disservice on the player, adding massive amount of extra pressure, it is a disservice to the manager, expecting to do magic with his new star signing, expectations are just too high, resulting in the path to failure becoming easily attainable, confidence declining fast, thus the vicious cycle starting with a run of poor performances. It's just a disservice to everybody, the fans, the player, the manager, the club. When trying to recruit a young player, the price tag skyrockets, the club must learn to walk away from the deal. There are many other players in the market, who are similar, more or less, nobody is unique. It is just a matter good scouting.

    AWB is so so underrated. So comfortable 1v1 whether it's Saint Maximin or Kylian Mbappe, he's one of the most press resistant players (not right backs) in the league and his attacking game in the final third is always improving. One of the best in the world imo, if he wasn't at United he'd be Pep's number 1 replacement for an aging Kyle Walker.

  • @Shappy86
    @Shappy86 4 місяці тому +4

    Massive fan of both Diomande and Neves, sadly though I can't see United being able to get Neves. Benfica will demand upwards of 80m for him given the fee they got for Enzo, and the fact Neves has a buyout clause in excess of 100m.
    Neves is a player you can only afford to sign if you only need to make one or two signings, not when you need 5 or 6.
    Personally I prefer Diomande over Todibo as I feel Diomande has the higher ceiling and looks better suited to the rough and tumble of the EPL. Fully agree though that we need two CB's. Inacio is another fantastic player but one that will likely cost north of 60m possibly closer to 80m, and Sporting aren't going to sell two of their starting defenders in one window. Which probably means it'd need to be either/or Diomande/Inacio and not both. Another left footed option I really like is Branthwaite who's having a real breakout season at Everton and is probably their best defender. Maybe with their financial problems he might be available at a slightly lower usual fee.
    Frimpong is a tap in at RB and capable of playing anywhere down the right hand side.
    André is another no brainer, it's just a case of finding the right No.8 to come in and play along side him. I really like Khephren Thuram and think he would be ready to step up to the EPL, he reminds me a little of a young Yaya Toure, the way he carries the ball through midfield would be phenomenal at United and completely change the slow and steady midfield into something far more dynamic and dangerous. Other options that could be interesting would be Orkan Kokcu from Benfica. Capable of playing any role in midfield he's as dangerous carrying the ball as he is with his team splitting passing. Although he'd probably be more expensive than Thuram.
    Personally I really like the idea of a midfield pivot of André and Thuram. André shielding the defence and being the player who always shows for the ball and greases the wheels in midfield. With Thuram adding some physicality, and the guile to get on the ball then carry it through the opposition line of pressure to exploit the space between the lines of pressure and to create chances for our forwards as the defensive line are forced into either choosing to mark the forward leaving Thuram unopposed running at them, or step up and challenge Thuram for the ball or try and slow him down while the the midfield tries to get back and help out. However, that leaves a forward unmarked with us on possession in the opposition defensive third.
    I'm not entirely sold on Guirassy, he's had a great 4 months, but scored 13 of his 17 goals in the first 2 months, only scoring 4 since. Also very few players match their goal scoring numbers from the Bundesliga in other leagues. It's a league that is very open and forwards get far more good quality chances that inflates their numbers. You need to look at how they match up their goal output with their expected goals, while also looking at the average xG they get compared to other leagues. Are they getting a higher amount of xG in Germany then you'd expect in the EPL or especially for a low chance creating side like United this season. Then are they consistently equalling of surpassing their xG or under performing it. A player who regularly under performs their xG in a league where they get a higher xG as well will likely see a massive drop off in goals when they move to a league where chances are harder to come by and tend to be less clear cut.
    I don't think he's anywhere near good enough to score consistently in the EPL and I don't think he does enough beyond scoring to justify a regular starting spot for a side competing for top four in the EPL. He doesn't create enough, his link up play is too clunky and cumbersome, he doesn't have the technical skills and I think in a more physical league the strength he shows in the Bundesliga would be fairly middle of the road in the EPL. He certainly wouldn't be able to bully CB's anywhere near as much as he does in Germany.
    I think he's a decent player in a purple patch and like those guys who have a great world cup should be avoided.

      Thuram is really impressive when he plays for France, he solves a lot of problems in midfield, him and Andre in a double pivot would be amazing but other options for a 6 would be Onana and for an 8, Caqueret or Zambo Anguissa
      Guirrasy has always been a decent striker but he's not the 9 that we need to be consistent for the next 3years until Rasmus develops into a starting striker, I would prefer Terem Moffi or Jonathan David
      As for CB, Ignacio needs to be a priority signing in June because right now it looks like no one can play on that left hand side as good as Liche. Medina from Lens would be excellent in Jan, he can play LB, LCB & DM he's a best
      Another CB to cover the right side would be Geertruida or Simikan, both are strong & fast physical beasts with amazing on the ball ability, They both can also play at RB
