That does surprise me- I think he’s a good attacking full back which is what Silva likes to use but admittedly, I’d have Trippier over him but that ships well sailed. One things for sure, not signing at least one centre back will be as criminal as not replacing Lukaku was.

Just using him as an example to show that it’s not a recent thing of me wanting Coleman replaced. I’ve never been as enamoured with him as most are. He’s a good attacking full-back, as you say, but he’s not great. I think it’s because of his poor crossing, it pisses me off and always has done. I wish we’d cashed in on him when the hype was around him. It doesn’t help that he’s lost a bit of pace since his terrible injury.

No I know you wasn’t suggesting get Trippier I was just agreeing that if itbwas a choice of the 2 I would have him. Colemans injury was a shame but to his credit he’s come back strong and he gives his all for the shirt. I’m hoping he can flourish under Silvas system but it looks like he’ll be going with the same one we’ve played for 6 seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to find some videos to see how quick he was but couldnt really find anything. He seems adept at sticking a long lanky leg into a tackle and coming out with the ball but Im not sure how well that would translate to a more physical and aggressive league.

Newty82 Posted August 3, 2018 Report Share Posted August 3, 2018 Digne is telling him to come. That'll work. In one way, I can't blame him for exploring his options and looking for the best move. He's moving from Barcelona, which would be hard enough on its own, but the fact he's only been there since January and having to move again would probably mean he wants his next move to be right so he can settle. On another hand...his Uncle is just bring a typical agent and playing the field. Supposed to have deals sorted with 3 clubs? Behave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he signs for United he’s a fool because he may as well stay at Barca as he’ll sit on Uniteds bench as well. Having watched a few clips of him he looks a bit of a donkey - admittedy anyone can make clips to make a player look good or bad but some of the defending I’ve watched him do has seen him flat on his arse dazed and confused by the attacker.

From what I understand both us and Lyon have the highest bids on the table but Barca still want more than we are offering. Utd have offered less. I suspect Barca have allowed Mina to speak to some or all of the clubs in anticipation that they both need him to leave and they expect to come to an agreement with one of the clubs. The lad may have been given possible choices but until an offer is accepted it means sweet FA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
