Ah but then you've also got to take into account the wildcard of a replacement technical director once every few windows.
Cardiff looking at Andrea ilic From Valarenga. Looked decent on the limited amount ive seen him. Wouldn't cost much either due to Valarenga getting relegated.
Surely not a case of United fans licking the holes of any young players of theirs who can pass the ball 5 yards? Surely?
@Goldenorn reported this a few days ago so definitely seems like it could happen. Said Turkey was his most likely destination so far.
Turkey is an appropriate destination for both these players. But it really shows the ineptitude of our recruitment team once more. Summer signing Healey already gone, and now Ince and Rajovic having question marks against them. Rajovic being the one the club made a big fanfare over, giving the number 9 shirt and personally signed off by Val, and chosen above a player like Dennis.
Hopefully a wake up call for the “£50k for Ince is a no brainer” types. You still end up lumbered with a 30+ year old on high wages who the manager doesn’t want to play
You never know in a January window, clubs panic. We dont play to his strengths. There has been slight improvements but hes so far off the game in general its scary.
That was the comment made about Healey so what sort of striker do we need? You are right in a way - we don't really cross the ball into the box much.
Says a lot about our renowned scouting department and the Pozzo braintrust. Healey never a fit for Ismael's style and gone, albeit with some nice profit. Rajovic has scored some goals but doesn't look consistent or impactful. Ince was a strange buy from the start and has had no impact. What a good use of money by Gino.
One that can do the lot. But who that is i dont know. I said before he came we need old fashioned wing play if hes going to be of use. Not inverted wingers.
Guess it was all blamed on Manga? Even though VI actually admitted himself he wanted Ince. Probably just as well we are doing well in the league otherwise Pozzos would probably use that as an excuse to get rid!
I think the majority of players we signed in the summer were endorsed by Val. I’ve seen no evidence whatsoever that he can spot a player, so I certainly would prefer to use Val in describing what kind of player he wants, and let the “experts” pick the player he needs. Trouble is our experts have been amateur and incompetent. Hopefully now Nani is on board things might change and we bring in quality players, but I’m not holding my breath on that.
Wonder whether we're looking at Jesurun Rak-Sakyi on loan. Reported he wants games and would provide the point of difference and pace Val is keen on.
