Also they are thinking they could put ox at right back. Clearly the thought is not about defending but how you can attack from the area and make ox a utility player to fill in. Elliott at cm is quite interesting
When I think of Elliot I think of David Silva. He was a wide player but had no pace, drifted inside and despite not being big and strong which used to be the requirements for a CM, just dictated play from the middle and created chance after chance. Whether Elliott could do something similar remains to be seen, but potentially that sort of player
Be honest with yourselves guys, Elliot will never be what you thought you had and OX will always be the Arsenal OX. We all want the best for our signings but sometimes they are just ****.
I guess it hurts more when you pay 90m for a player you let go for free and then let him go for free again
Well you'd know all about **** players being bigged up right enough I mean for the past while, Martial (massive disappointment) Lindeloff no explaination needed. Wan biscuit (awful going forward) Maguire (cant turn nob head type) Fred (woeful really) Pogba (always let you down) Fernandes (true colours shown for Portugal penalty player) Then your youths? Rashford, continues to flatter to deceive, the wunderkind lingard? The party animal greenwood? I wonder how you make it through the night sometimes facing that ****e.
Silva was a huge talent though, elliott looks a big.more suited to the game than wilson who just hasn't had either the pace or the physically attributes or the engine to exploit his shooting talent. Elliot looks well able for the game but the outright pace just is not there imo. Clearly all that separates him from sancho is a yard of pace so by the time both are 27 elliott will be the far better player
Not to mention the past... Veron Depay Di Maria Sanchez ...to name but a few. Man Utd's recruitment policy is to buy the hottest names of the moment and then try and shoe-horn them into whatever else they've got. No idea how to build a team, and they're suckers for a bit of advertisement. They probably bought double-glazing from a door-to-door salesman as well.
well i was wondering where he found the time to watch all of Blackburns games as well as ours and presumably fit in a few of Utds .
Lockdown innit. Massive research behind Diego opinions mate. Remember our Jimmy has watched every game in every league in europe
We just can't resist the opportunity to list all the hugely expensive flops Utd have managed to cram in over the years. It's a little light relief during these difficult times.
