Scholes 18,

This is what I said about De Gea, not the waffle you made up fella.

"I'm sure you have enough talent there to do better but do you personally think, without bias, that any of your squad would make the City first team under Pep and I'll include De Gea in that because whilst he's an incredible shot stopper can he fill the whole role required by Pep. "

The answer is still the same and I'm just reposting as your original post is way down the page. 😉.

No problem stoner, wasn't there at least one/ or two more of you on the thread?

De Gea is the impotat individual to a united side since Martin Buchan.
When Buchan wasn't available to cover the rest of the United team they were in all kinds of trouble and the same with De Gea today, no De Gea last season for United no champions league this season for United, that's how much he made up for the rest of the team.
He's more important to United than Ronaldo ever was simply because the rest of the team he plays with are so poor.
For city I'm not sure but for United he's invaluable right now because without hom they are purely europa league hopefuls.

I see what you're saying Gunner but that's selective. Without Salah's goals last season would Lpool have finished in the top 4? Spurs without Kane? Does that mean the rest of their teams are so poor, because they're relying on one player? It just happens to be that our best player is our goalkeeper, doesn't necessarily mean the rest of our team 'are so poor'.

How long you been watching United 18 mate? Where would you rate the current United team mate?
Totally agree that if you take away each teams best player they would obviously be weaker but Liverpool lost Continho and when from strength to strength United lost Ronaldo and did pretty well without him.
Lvg and Jose have made you the least attractive United I can remember even before Fergie when you couldn't win a title for decades you still played football that got the fans excited mate.
De Gea is a survivor of the Fergie generation and after 3 managers and 100s of millions he's the only thing keeping you relevant in today's game.
I remember United getting relegated and that team was still better to watch than Lvg or Jose United have been.
Having a brilliant goalkeeper is always a huge asset for any team but when it's the only thing good about a club like United there is something very wrong at that club.
Pogba is an outstanding player apart from in a united shirt and that has to be a concern for you boys mate.

To be fair a few man u players could walk into our arsenal team I would love pogba at our club great player just not suited to Jose style martial I'd have rashford and de gea for me would change our team and make them top 4 easy.

Totally agree Stephen but some good individuals don't make a team, if we got Pogba I'd be singing and dancing for weeks and I wouldn't say no to Matic or Matta either but at this United they are all a shadow of themselves in other teams shirts.

Guys I know it’s been mentioned before but while the whole Wenger successor polava was going on at the end of last season Dick was never really a consideration by anyone. Everyone was suggesting the likes of Nagellsman, Ancelloti, Tuchel etc. I really believe Emery was our best candidate to really shake up the cozy culture Wenger left behind. His attention to detail, work ethic, expectations from players, man management was exactly what we’ve lacked in the last 10 years at the club.

Dempo, he was still employed by psg but the day he was released, i posted that he might be considered a candidate. He was probably more suitable and more realistic than other names mentioned, when he became available. I would have liked simeone over him but that was never going to happen. Ìm happy so far with what he is doing. He is a coach after all and that's something we needed badly.

Agree0 Disagree0

The proof of the pudding will as always be in the eating but from all we've seen and heard so far on don't think we could have chosen better.
No huge money pot to draw on and an awful lot of worked needed behind the scenes to turn us around, I think we are lucky to get Dick on board as he looks like the absolute right man for our job.

Dick Emery is definitely the type of manager we needed at this present time to sort us out and get some desire, organisation and discipline back into the team. We did not want another philosopher type like Wenger again we want someone getting stuck into the players and getting them well drilled and playing more pecentages. Emery is perhaps the best we could have got in that sense. He may not be a coach for long term but he is ideal right now and for the next few seasons anyway. The players seem to be on board with things and morale seems good, i noticed the subs have a joke around in the PSG friendly game which is a good sign i think that morale is good within the camp.

I'm sure the players must be feeling the difference and as a result will be full of optimism for things to work out differently to previous seasons where they basically got ripped to bits by fans and pundits alike more often than not.

I wanted dick when he was at seville great coach and I like the fact he is trying his best to do everything in English.

Any chance of us signing Willian or Martial?

Two chances, fat and no.

Martials asking price is a joke. United payed far too much for him and now want more after no real significant improvement. Dembele is another who falls into this catagory, paid far too much made a mistake and expect another club to make a mistake to level their books. I rate both players Dembele more so than martial but neither are worth more than 50 million in the current market. I think ed02 has said there is better value for money elsewhere. William is a player I like but there’s a million and one reasons why he won’t be coming to arsenal.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jul 2018 16:24:38
Thanks for the reply. For what reasons will we not buy Willian? Wages? Egos? Price tag? Age? Who do you think are posibilities for signings on the wing? I wish we had never let Gnabry go tbh.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Arsenal has no interest in Willian.}

30 Jul 2018 19:04:38
I agree on gnabry, but he wanted to go for game time, he was another of those scratch your head ones, not really given a fair crack when others less deserving couldn't get dropped.

Agree0 Disagree0

30 Jul 2018 20:15:13
Willian would fantastic much better value than Martial or Dembele but never going to happen. He has been one of Chelese's best players for last few seasons. Someone like Leon Bailey or Andre Gomez might be more realistic but yeah a tricky and fast winger is something that the squad needs.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Willian is expected to move on - it wont happen as Arsenal has shown no interest.}

31 Jul 2018 03:48:55
Maybe with ozil, auba, laca and mhkitaryan rotating through the front three positions, and iwobi/ younguns as backup, management thinks we are set. And will only by if it's an exceptional opportunity?

This may be a bit random but which of you posters on this page were trying to convince me Ederson was definitely a better goalkeeper than De gea? Nice to see Ed001 voice his opinion on the two of them on the L'pool page. 😁😁😁.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - really? I never knew anyone on earth thought Ederson was better. Maybe you could argue he is better in Pep's system, but that is about all.}

30 Jul 2018 06:00:58
Which is exactly the point I made ed01 when telling the young fella none of his beloved United players would get in City’s team and De Gea simply because he didn’t fit Peps idea of how a keeper plays.

I guess in amongst the misery on the United page scholesy has to grasp at any small joy! 🙄😂😂.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - Sanchez would have walked into City's side to replace Sterling. Pep even tried to buy him exactly for that reason....}

30 Jul 2018 22:22:07
Hmm, sounded very different back then. It wasn't about Pep's system, i was told he was a superior goalkeeper, regardless of the system.

Then again, Mr Wilshere was the greatest English player to walk the earth so hey, what do i know😁.
