Astroblack Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 We’re in the Champions League. There are far better players we can get. McTomminay can go off to West Ham or Everton, that’s his level. We need to bolster up the squad with CL quality players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree on that but you still need backup for longstaff. He was a massive miss when injured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every players not going to be a £60m signing - we need a few signings for next season. We missed longstaff when he was injured so needs cover and I feel that position can be covered in the cheap.

Sufi Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Just found out he was a striker until Mourinho showed up. Hahaha wtf. Scottish Joelinton. Its funny because united fans seem to think he would make a good ball playing CB. Imagine starting as a striker...moving to CDM and eventually to CB. Interesting career to say the least. We could do worse. I trust Eddie. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was playing a CM years before for our youth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On redcafe, they have a performance threads for all of the squad members. It's just threads of United fans bitching and whingeing. If you look deeply enough, you'll find Manchester United fans wanting to sell Rashford. It wasn't that long ago that the Manchester United were comparing McTominay to Keane. They're a fickle bunch. As a Scotland and Manchester United fan, I want McTominay to stay at Manchester United and either play as a number 10 or even as a number 9. In midfield, he would be best utilised as a marauding box-to-box number 8. Imagine if Dan Burn or Longstaff was playing regularly for Manchester United. Their fans would be chasing them out of town. If they played Dan Burn at left back their fans would be furious, and rival fans would make memes about him. Nothing against Burn or Longstaff, more about what playing for Manchester United can be like if you're not one of their very best players. The expectations are extremely high.

Simo was ok but he was young and had the Championship to climatize. But he was still good. The argument was that every player we’ve got from Manchester Red Sox has been finished or rubbish, so I said that’s not the case, Gillespie was neither. I actually forgot about Simpson as another player that disproves that theory, so thank you. We were burned on Smith and Butt, certainly. Nowhere near played to their price or reputation. Obertan was guff but I understand taking a £1m flyer on him given his raw pace and previous potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would be fuming about his finishing and passing, lets be real. Defensive contribution and work rate helps, but it's not enough for them. I'm not saying Longstaff is not a good player, I'm saying that many of their fans make some of their players seem like worthless trash if they're not amongst their top players. Do you really think they would not be complaining their asses off about Burn at left back? Longstaff has been important for us because he fits well into our system and his role in our team. Also because we lacked any replacement for that role when he got injured. Edited May 27, 2023 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Edgar Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 I just think that Longstaff has gradually developed into a top CM this season. He has limitations, but he is becoming dominant in some aspects. He'd do a job for Man Utd. And yeah, he'd get similar criticism from their fans, but they'd be as harsh as us.

Froggy Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Don't think Longstaff would get hate if he played for us at all. He'd be very useful. Dan Burn is a clear weak link though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Edgar Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 (edited) Burn is underrated. Annoying in some ways, but he's just been a lock in, slightly out of position, in the joint best defensive in the EPL. He fucks me right off, but you can't deny what he brings. I think my overall position on all these points is that the extreme opinions are way off. Edited May 27, 2023 by David Edgar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erikse Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Yeah, if you go just 2-3 months back in the Longstaff thread you will find people calling for Longstaff to be sold. The point I'm trying to make is that just because Manchester United fans wants McTominay gone doesn't mean that he wouldn't do a job for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
