Kanji Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Ayoze, Rolando (when he played), Abeid (when he played) and Janmaat were the only ones who gave a decent account for themselves this season. I'd throw in Sissoko at some time b/c he looked unplayable a handful of times but he's got get disciplined in his performances if he's ever going to be a real top player.

HawK Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 After his first season, especially playing in THIS team, I'd say he's probably one of the brightest prospects, if not THE brightest prospect we've ever signed in the PL era. Imagine him in SBR's team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 And Ba, or Loic Remy, or And...fuck it It's difficult to analyse us as a typical sporting outfit (because we're not), but the way the squad has been downgraded is remarkable. Two summers of total inactivity (Anita aside), followed by the inevitable departures, left us with so much to do last summer and - given our frugality - we've barely managed to change like-for-like. Cabaye to Colback, Ba to Riviere, Remy to Perez, Ben Arfa to Cabella, Yanga-Mbiwa to no one, Santon to an injured Haidara etc etc etc. I think we've got the personnel to be significantly higher than 17th (just as we previously had the personnel to be significantly higher than 10th) - but fuck me the standard has fallen. Debuchy to Janmaat is the only comparable one, but even then I think he's pretty overrated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty rare to actually see them play too many games together due to them being complete crocks for a lot of the time iirc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddy Chibas Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 If there is no value behind Manyoo winning their last game this 'kid' ( the prospect of pinching him from a relegated club in a post-drop firesale) is a good enough reason for them to tank their final game against Hull. If I was in Van Gaal's boots I'd throw the game. It would be a handy game to lose. Interesting final day if Sports Direct United fail against QPR, and Arsenal lock-up 3rd position. Arsenal v Manyoo is important too this weekend, if SD United's fate partially rests in the hands of others (bailing them out of the shit ie. Manyoo) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 If you don't get relegated, the best outcome for everybody involved is that he stays imho. It's still too soon for him to move somewhere else, and Ashley and co will probably be aware that he'll command a far greater fee in a few years.

Lush Vlad Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Love this little Jersey Shore/Romany Gypsy looking mofo. Probably just echoing what others have said. But he is one of a small handful of decent players left at the club. One of the only likable ones as well! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 It's unfair he's been burdened with the responsibility of leading our line. He's done an admirable job given the situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Crooks Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Mad to think he is only really a mainstay now because Pardew didn't realise he wasn't the second string cup shite he thought would make up a weakened team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Think he's more of a 7 or 11. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Number 9 next season anyone? Got the right attitude imo We will never again have a true number 9 legend. The number doesn't mean the same as it once was. Shearer was the last 9 legend we will have, and the rest will only be remembered fondly from various generations.

Astroblack Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Huh? I was basing off the way he plays. He's more of an attacking midfielder than the standard #9. In fact, I think the 10 would be the best fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_NUFC Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I'm pulling your leg 7-11, latino, etc. I'm just trying to be unfunny, it's a lazy afternoon here. He needs to play around a main striker, he can be the link and also someone who can play off a much bigger guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Ahh, I'm slow. Wish we had a midfield that could keep the ball as he would thrive. Earlier in the season, he'd receive the ball with two or three players surrounding him and somehow find a way out. It was great to watch. Kinda funny how we're pinning our survival hopes on a 21 year old kid from the Second division in Spain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
