It is so weird to see a sensible transfer episode about Man Utd and they have signed 2 players already
-
I wish JJ taught my organic chemistry class. Iโd probably have an A. I could listen intently to anything he teaches
-
Looks at Sancho "...we've got some other players here" ๐๐
-
LOL! Bro saw Anthony and nearly said good player ๐
-
Lol..these aren't sensible transfers..these are expensive transfers..how on earth does Joao Neves make sense next to Kobbie Mainoo. ๐๐๐
-
Lol๐. He saw Antony and he changed his tune. ๐๐๐
-
Bit of a cop out with Neves considering he was United's primary midfield target this summer but the budget wouldn't allow for it.
-
Surprised you didn't recommend Sangare in the midfield ๐
-
I've been wanting Raphinha at Manchester United since his Leeds debut season back then. Pleasantly surprised to see him on this list, and I completely agree!
-
This is the first time Tifo has posted a sensible transfer video on United where I am confident that the actual people dealing with United transfers are smarter and will make better decisions than the people making this video
-
๐๐๐ De ligt, Kante, Raphinha. Bro didn't even try. What happened to unearthing gems.
-
Makes a video about sensible transfer Recommends the best U21 midfielder in Europe with โฌ120m release clause and close to โฌ70m + player deal with PSG Miss the days where these videos used to include Ibrahim Sangarรฉ. At least they were funny.
-
Joao Neves is a fantasy signing. My sensible and realistic transfer is Youssef Fofana
-
As a Man United fan, Iโd be happy with us finishing the window with Yoro, Zirkzee, De Ligt, a LB, and a DM. The attack has more than enough (Hojlund, Zirkzee, Rashford, Garnacho, Amad, and Antony) to compete. They also have enough forward thinking midfielders (Bruno, Mount, Eriksen, Mainoo). Personally, I think they would benefit from going for Kirkez at Bournemouth. In midfield, Iโm sticking with Ugarte since PSG will probably drop their price now theyโve pretty much sealed Joao Neves.
-
I mostly agree on every sensible transfers episode, but one thing I got to point out: you can never point to a Benfica player and say it's a sensible transfer. Not because of the player in question (Joรฃo Neves is really, really great) but because Benfica will always squeeze clubs into the maximum possible fee. Just look at how everything's happening with PSG, precisely because they want him
-
1:01 Burnely lmao
-
The quality of these videos has gone down so badly
-
That's why I struggle to understand why United keeps ETH. He is at least partly responsible for the systematic issues last season. There is a gap in the midfield; not even two Kantes would have striven at United's team last season. I do not rate ETH as a top coach at all.
-
No player can fix bad tactics. You can't play transitional football for 90 mins every match. No game control exercised, players get tired too soon, lots of spaces to attack, etc.
-
They need Ugarte the most, he's a Uruguayan Kante. A competent high line (Yoro is key) and Ugarte they could fix their biggest issue, rest defense.
