Comment on Chicharito Out Lewandowski In? – Is The Mexican Surplus To Requirements At United? by Krzysztof

Lewandowski is not for you. He is too soft for your football. He is psychologically weak – he scores when the team plays well. Only 36% of his goals are the “point-winning” ones (compare to 59% of Huntelaar and 54% of Gomez – top three Bundesliga strikers, last season data). He is an add-in, not the leader. And as an add-in, he costs too much. He’d better go South. Spain ot Italy – this is his promised land.

Utd’s so-called scouting is just as bad as the team and coaches. Why did we buy a very ordinary Young for 17M pds when much better players are going for much less? Cazorla? In Spain and Germany, may be Italy, there are superb players that cost much less. Michu cost 2m!!!! What’s wrong with Utd these days? On and off the field, the Club seems heading downhill. No., not the Glazers but the OT cozy gang of Gill and SAF are responsible. Why Lewandoski>? You need decent defenders and midfielders, not fancy strikers..Vidal was bought for what like 10m pds and now Utd apparently want him but I’m sure he’ll cost upwards of 30m after 1 season at Juve!

I see no sense in buying Lewandoski because he’s a player in the mould of RVP. So it will be the same story. I’d rather stick with Chicharito because outside of Rooney and RVP, he’s my next choice. Welbeck wastes a lot of the time on the ball. I’d rather improve these players, not forgetting we have young players to groom in King, Henriquez etc.

Really great read!

Whilst you could argue that De Gea’s lack of first team games could hamper his progression, you could just as easily say that the competition means he won’t rest on his laurels and will work twice as hard thus ultimately becoming better. Look at Tim Howard. Perhaps if he’d been in a similar position as De Gea is now, with someone really pushing him, he’d have turned out better. He arrived like De Gea, young and inexperienced (not as young but still young) but as you allude to in the article, Fergie stuck with him for the first season at least, but you could argue his mistakes were never stamped out because he was undisputed first choice despite them. Now, if De Gea makes a mistake he’s dropped. I reckon this could bring the best out of him eventually. If De Gea kept goal despite his mistakes, we could have another Tim Howard. Time will tell and it could go either way…

Agree about Foster though, I was really happy to see a young English keeper with massive potential looking set to become our eventual number 1. Complete idiot though as you say…

I now have to resign myself to the fact that Rooneys 100′s of goals, his CL semi final and final goals, his hat trick at West Ham that won us the league(the 2nd of which he created himself witha sublime touch anyone would be proud of) the goals against Milan, the winner at Anfield, the goals against Arsenal and chelsea in CL knockout phases and his goals being the only reason we competed last year were all just a hoax and I must have imagined it all. I never realised he was so shit, thanks for putting me straight Timbo. Cheers, Bryan.

I don’t really understand the point in this fergie vs berbatov debate. In my eyes berbatov doesn’t get the credit he deserves from some fans for the job he did in the team when called upon. He didn’t do enough to be mentioned in the same breath as Cantona but i’m happy with his contribution.
Ferguson signed a player which he obviously liked and gave him good game time. But as always with Fergie he is constantly looking to the future and he felt it was time to give youthful energy a chance, which unfortunatly meant berbatov’s time was up.
It’s because of Fergie’s ruthless streak and ability to spot when the team needs to be taken in a new direction that he has managed to keep the club at the top for so long.
So if any united fan’s feel the need to moan about berbatov’s treatment by Sir Alex they need to take a long hard look at where they are and how they got there

Wow…just wow. Unreal rant about Rooney by our lad Timbo there. This guy needs his own tv show. He is of course completely deluded, but it’s entertaining nonetheless…”George Best, Ronaldo and Berbatov..”…really?
