@ConnorF1878 Why would we sell a FB who is an experienced winner and one of our most intelligent/versatile players. Idk why we always rush to keep the bad players that we've had over for 5+ years (maguire, dalot, rashford) and try to get rid of the good footballers. Only united fans do this
@MattyT99@548V2@ConnorF1878 I think baleba is underrated on the ball. Brighton didnt play through the midfield so he wasnt able to show it and the data shows poor passing metrics. I think balebas physicality, press resistance and the fact that he can sit infront of a defence on his own make him a must
@TridgeTV Why does he have to be 6'2. Baleba is good aerially and an incredible athlete (stronger, quicker and more agile) than any #6 in the prem now). Hes perfect for that spot next to kobbie. Ppl are just blinded cause he had a poor season but he would be a hell of a signing
@GENER4L1STBURN4 Nah hes a 6, thats why he looks out of place covering alot of ground. He's more of a fernandinho type of player. He needs legs next to him, so ederson and him actually makes alot of sense
@NSomfongo@_Utdbaki I actually he's rly tactically disciplined. He's not an 8 at all so he doesnt have the legs to cover big spaces. But if u let him sit and shield, he's actually good. Just need to play an athlete next to him, so ederson makes sense
@Adroit_Cadet Agreed. The amount of times yamal was getting doubled just cause underlapping/overlapping runs weren't being made was insane. They are worried about the counter attack threat too much
@syohannes7@MURyan10_ No he wouldnt. Baleba/Tchou would be the starting DM in the team based on their ball winning and ability to shield the defence. Mateus is a very good passer but him and kobbie out of possession would be rly bad
@Zeth400@dznzii@NewSharifInTown Yeah but not substanitally. So at the end of the day, if you are taking it purely from a numbers perspective, this is the player that he is
@Midas_xv@ConnorF1878 Agreed, it is a risk. Going into the window i wanted to 6s and an 8 but i dont think thats how INEOS and carrick see it. Maybe its cuz the lack of rly good 6s in world football as well. Its not ideal but its a good enough compromise i guess
@FPLfrasier Any good midfielder is better than 25/26 casemiro. Just cause he was a set piece threat doesn't mean he was a good DM. Kobbie was doing the job of two at times and we played deeper to accomodate for his and maguires weaknesses athletically
