You're turning your nose up a player that was brought into the team by Jose Mourinho, and was part of a side that finished in second place just over 12 months ago. He would massively improve you. I don't want to argue but you'll get absolutely nowhere on here (and most other venues I'd imagine) trying to argue that Mourinho and especially fucking Ole are highly thought of managers whose opinion should be valued.

ponsaelius Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Shola Shoretire should be the only Man Utd player considered, a glorious return for the Wallsend Boys Club lad. The rest are scrubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to argue. Like you said, no point, and I know the player infinitely better than anyone else on here. Unless I've had a rake of pints I'm fairly sure I've never come on here and criticised a Newcastle player. Except when you cunts were saying £50m for Sean Longstaff who is just a diet McTominay.

You won't get me arguing against the Longstaff comparison. But he's our 4th/5th choice CM. Bruno and Joelinton offer much more than McTominay so I doubt anyone sees the logic in paying the £40m+ it would take to get McTominay (as you say, not that you would sell or he would have any interest in coming).

Kid Icarus Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 12 minutes ago, Froggy said: I don't see McTominay as some Man Utd great, but he's a good player and has been important for us for years. It's like when opposition fans and the media tried to tell you that Bruce did a good job and couldn't understand why you worshipped Benitez. I've watched McTominay every minute of every game he's played in, whereas the majority of you have only seen highlights. He's a far better player than opposition fans give him credit for. I’m not saying he’s bad though, just that being an important player in arguably the most unsuccessful era in Man United’s history is damning with faint praise. I’ve watched Man United a lot (obviously not as much as you) and I agree that he’s often looked like your best and most committed player, but I think that’s undoubtedly more an indictment on your other players over the years than a reflection on his ability as a player at the level you're aspiring to. Just like Herrera, but at a lower level again, if he’s going to play a big role for you and you have aspirations of winning the league, it’s a big red flag imo. Weirdly (it’s still an alien feeling that I can’t really accept) it’s that same eventual aspiration that means I wouldn’t want him at Newcastle.

Guest HTT II Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 He’s a decent player to be fair, just not top tier, he does most things well, he’s levels above Longstaff that’s for sure, but way below someone like Bruno. He’s arguably been Man Utd’s most consistent player for a few years now when played and under several managers too. I like him, but he’s not what we need nor Man Utd really.

STM Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 As much as I love winding up @Froggy, someday we will have to learn that fans of other clubs often have a better handle on their players and managers that we do. To call McTominay shite, just lacks any sort of nuance. A lad like that under SAFs Man Utd would have gone on to have a career similar to someone like Fletcher IMO, who was a great squad player and top professional. Personally, I think the past year might have stunted his development irreparably but I wouldn't rule out ETH getting a tune out of him in some capacity.

I think he's exactly what we need, which is a solid squad player who plays for the badge. Too many overpaid players full of talent who drop their tools at the first sign of trouble. McTominay will never do that. We've always had players like him in the side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye he’s a Carrick or Fletcher in a Fergie Man Utd side, I like him me, he’d walk into our current side, but he’s not big star quality and that will go against him for some reason.
