    Should Man Utd sign Cody Gakpo? 🤔

  • @dublin7
    @dublin7 Před rokem +21

    ETH has the potential with the players at his disposal (Along with Gakpo if he was to get him) To create positionless football across the top 3.
    If you play Gakpo, Sancho and Antony, they can all switch to either wing or up top. Same with Rashford. Martial can play out left and up top. Elanga can do the same. Garnacho can play on either wing.
    Gakpo is the exact forward United need. Turn of pace, silky smooth, great touch and is lethal scorer with both feet.

    Gakpo would be a great addition to our squad, no question about it. I just need Antony to be a bit more direct, which he will learn as time passes. After that we will have wingers that are able to score and even create. As well as a striker that can score and create in the name of Gakpo

  • @martinomahony9610
    @martinomahony9610 Před rokem

    Think I seen something awhile back from rvn who manages him saying something along the lines of that he has all the attributes to make a good cf, and he would know a good cf when he sees 1 he was 1 of the best centre forwards we've had at the club, be a very exciting signing if we get him

  • @claywandera2486
    @claywandera2486 Před rokem +2

    gakpo i believe definitely gives more to man utd attack than a traditional striker like vlahovic. its like what kane does for england and spurs or thierry did for arsenal with creating goals and scoring them
    however this then would require to have bruno play because he has an eye for goals in the penalty area. he plays well as a second striker or scoring midfielder who is backed by van de beek.
    gakpo would be a very good purchase instead of paying 100mil for oshimen

  • @cybermanne
    @cybermanne Před rokem +2

    I'm not totally sure Rashford - Gakpo - Antony is gonna be a functional front 3 from the get go. Sure Gakpo likes to drift in from the left. But are we gonna get the best out of him if he's starting centrally? I do think his best position could be as a #9 after a bit of an adjustment period. But right away? And we do need another #9 that can hit the ground running in that position after christmas if we want to be competing for top4 and the Europa League.
    Maybe Ten Hag can use Rashford and Martial as CFs this season, and have Gakpo on the left. And then convert him into a CF for next season. To me this seems a bit more reasonable than gambling on Gakpo being able to be impactful right away from a position he rarely plays.
    It sure would be a shame if we don't sign him though.

  • @MrBiaklian
    @MrBiaklian Před rokem +1

    Well now, who will hold the ball up the pitch? I’ve watched the Netherlands play this world cup and I’m yet to see Gakpo holding the ball up and leading the attack forward and dominate play. His goals are mostly long shots, very similar to Rashford’s. Someone like Vlahovic, who plays a bit similar to how Martial plays, will be a better fit if we are planning to dominate play.

    I am not convinced about the quality of the Dutch league. Antony looked very good in Holland, but not in the Premier league as yet, and it shows that United grossly overpaid for a player that is still developing. I like Gakpo, and United should probably sign him, but on the condition that he is the solution to get the team into a top four place this season as we need goals.
