Should Man Utd sign Cody Gakpo? 🤔
Yes
yes. Based on both his ability and profile, and the fact there is no other viable option out there.
He is one of other natural finishers we would want as MU fans. He is having an incredible time at the WC
Aye
Yes, our attack will be next level
Cody Glokpo
ETH is pushing for him. The club needs to back their man.
On the verge of a club sale after a summer transfer spend of 200 mill+….
The club already said they want short term fixes.
We won’t get Gakpo in January I’m a 💯 % sure on this
Time will tell
@@Ben-G7 then he will go to other club
Liverpool just got him
@@iamjwns6277 Ye club let down their manager once again.
Thanks for the breakdown
Merry Christmas
An LFC fan x 😂
I hold my hands up, and admit I wasn't convinced; that all changed with his goal against Ecuador. Wow. I watched more of his plays and recognise his finishing is often sublime.
Sadly he's now Liverpool's because we take too long lol
I never understood what a wide target man was until Gakpo
never seen Ronaldo at Real Madrid?
Or Mandzukic at Juve
hahahahaha ynwa
He should be gotten ASAP. He could play any position up front but like Dave said CF is probably best for him.
Please Man u should do everything fast and get this wonderful striker into our squard, he's the type of player we have been longing for, is a welcome development, I can't wait for him to join in our squard, 🔥🔥♥️
This aged well....🤣🤣🤣🤣
Think he would work well with Rashford, rotating positions keeping defenders guessing
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.
And chance creator*
that was very enjoyable thanks for analysis hope we buy him after that
Great vid! Got a much better understanding of him now and think united should buy him
Whenever i hear second Striker in a chat about united all the nostalgia returns 😂
Rooney
@@AnanthakrishnanCR tevez
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
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
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
As a Liverpool fan...this is quite funny lol...United spent 6 months admiring him.. Liverpool took 24 hours to sign him lol
He a great player
🙂 let's get this boy in
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.
Sure gakpo is a good player 'sign him up
He's just the clinical finisher we need if you took all the chances that Ronaldo had and gave them to Gakpo United would be in the top four of the Premier League...real talk
Well this aged well... top stat!
Gakpo drifting to the left, Rashford drifting into the center from the left, Bruno running in to the far post, Antony staying wide right. Perfect 👌
I can see it 🤌🏾
Sounds absolutely beautiful 😂
@@tommyvinceze6249 🤦🏾
@@bonganisaidi9885 as a Liverpool fan it’s a real shame to see hahaha
Let's keep our eyes on the league table mate 😉
We need a Proper Striker not a force 9
Kind of feels Gakpo is inevitable for United now, think he would be a great signing, coached by Ruud V N too, also a great price for a change, .. Really like this young man.. snap him up..
😂😂😂😂
Nope he want trophies brother 😂😂
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.
This world has not shown that aspect of players. The build-up play has been generally poor. We haven't seen do much quality on the ball, for some reason
Now make a video on Liverpool lol
I would still prefer we go all out for an out and out no.9 but If ten Hag thinks he's the answer to our no.9 problem then I trust the boss 1000%
I believe Erik knows Martial is not a long term solution, we can get Gakpo and another striker then get rid of Martial
This aged well
You do know that LVG will discourage him from joining United if not threaten him with not picking him for the national team.
Welcome to Anfield Gapko🤫
This is pure comedy
Garnacho
Rashford
Antony
Sancho
Martial
Gakpo
Bruno
Imagine that attacking any team in Europe
Only issue is that I feel because he loves being on the left it can limit the strengths of both rashford and garnacho
There's the carling, fa, europa and premier league and eth's football is very demanding so don't worry, he'll definitely play
Why is this recomended to me 2 days after he singed for Liverpool lol
Now make a video on how he fits in ar Liverpool 😂
As much as I hate it, I think we should let bruno go for a big fee as we can get nkunku off chelsea and then get gakpo as nkunku likes to play as a 2nd striker and usually prefers the right hand side- this would massively help us score goals
Totally trust ETH for this one after all the spot on picks he had.
well that aged really well ha ha ha ha ha
@@oddjobtriumph1635 Still trusting ETH for not getting him.🤣
@@Bo_Hazem ha ha ha why would i care what ETH does ?
@@oddjobtriumph1635 Because Loserpool FC are trailing behind.
I think judging by who we have been linked to most the last 6 months and who is available (not FDJ) this is how we could look in possession (325)
Costa
Timber Varane Licha
Casemiro Enzo
Antony Bruno Gakpo Rashford Shaw
No way Antony plays RWB 😆 it could be Timber playing as an inverted RB though. The same players could be set-up in a 4-2-3-1:
Costa
Timber Varane Martinez Shaw
Casemiro Fernandez
Antony Fernandes Rashford
Gakpo
@@AdamT-mv3ok it’s not RWB, these r shapes that teams make in possession, all teams do it.
And yes that is exactly what it looks like out of possession/ the starting formation
I don't think he's a 9 but that certainly doesn't mean he can't be molded into one. Just let Erik create his monster !
How we prioritised Antony when this guy was available for less than half is beyond me.
I rate him just worry he is too similar, but if ETH wants him, then i'm sure they worked it out.
How does Greenwood fit into all this?
He fits right into jail.
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.
It seems that it took you a lot of research to do that analyzing, would ya consider editing that but with Liverpool 😂😂😂
All i know is if he comes and actually turns out (shocker) that hes better of the left then someone is getting shipped the following summer and i think we all know who that is
I'm not even kidding, I genuinely don't know who you mean
@@gregoryboatswain1605 sancho
@@korruptedln2486 he wouldn't get ship watch...he also helps in depth...ten hag can help him..thats why ten hag is developing him in Carrington while everyone's at world cup
✨️
bro soon as you said he reminds u of henry i was excited man henry was one of the best strikers prem has ever seen imo hope we sign gapko bro
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA you guys bottled it again
What about Gonzalo Ramos from Benfica can't We not buy both of them.they could be the perfect persons for our attacking line.
Uffff
What happens to Sancho?
We need depth just like man city
I'd rather Gakpo than Depay 😏 but knowing utd I hope they see this logic and pay up. The team is dying for a clinical player even if that person is winger
hey @statmandaveclips as per 12:30 , I think bruno loses a lot of possession when played deep which can cost counter attacks , I think its a bad idea . we need a midfielder who can play defensive and supplying role player next summer . thoughts ??
+1
I worry that Gakpo is too similar to Rashford and by that I mean covers the same areas of the field. I would think an actual more traditional striker as opposed to a converted striker is what United need, and you damn well know another LW isnt needed
Do we have a decent option on the RW in the absence of Antony?
Arsenal is top of the league without a traditional No.9
@@charlesodoch6070 I meant LW
I disagree Gakpo have nothing to do with Rashford, he is a better finisher and can play in four positions comfortably, he has better crosses he is a better linkup player, don’t compare this two they both good players but I think Gakpo has more in his locker than rashford
50 million down the drain, Cody Gakpo scores again, I really get a Martial vibe with this guy, hopefully he doesnt have as many issues with managers and injuries
Who's here? After confirmed he's going to Liverpool
I thought he signed for Liverpool FC
He is not 1.93 but 1.89
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA THIS AGED AMAZING. YNWA
And he’s gone to Liverpool fantastic
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This did not age well. He is a Liverpool player now. 🤷♂️😘
He is ok for teams like Sunderland, etc. Not for top teams.
In important games he is invisible
Stfu are you watching the world cup
Hater 😏
Whats he doing in the world cup you clown
But is he too similar to Rashford MBE? 50m does seem like a bit of a bargain either way.
No his not they both tall thats it gakpo is way creator and finisher
LFC YNWA!
No time to waste bargaining anymore. Or else LFC, CFC, AFC, MCFC or NUFC might pounce on any delays. Try ‘Pre-contract Agreement.’
😂😂 ended well lad 😂😂 great addition to Liverpool 😂
Thanks for giving Liverpool these stats….. Man Utd are done atm….
So do you think he would be a better option than Gonçalo Ramos... I mean Ramos is a bit more of a natural CF compared to Cody Gakpo
Lol he just joined Liverpool
He went to Liverpool 😭
He would surely be better than Ronaldo i am sure
50 million down the drain, Cody Gakpo score again!
and liverpool got him hahahhahaha
MU need to stop overpaying for overrated players if they want to challenge for titles again.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂You will never find the answer!
😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😆 😂 😆 😂 😆 😂 😆 😂 😆 😂 😆
No I don’t want to see Bruno play deeper, he is not disciplined enough to do that
Should go to Real Madrid
IMO, He will play at left wing. He is much better at winger position compare to Rashford or Sancho. He can dribble, cross with both feet, and long-distance shooting from outside of box, but these abilities are more suitable for winger.
Gakpo and Antony will be Utd`s next winger Duo.
This is hilarious liverpool constantly rip of journalists and content creators by robbing transfers last minute
Are you wearing lipgloss?
I hope he's not going to be Cody Flopko if he joins ManU
All of ten hags signings have been successful. Dont see why this should be a failure
That didn't age well.
lol he coming Liverpool now
This definitely didnt age well
Buahahahahahahaha
Hahaha ... He is going to Liverpool 😂😂😂
Awkward
🤣njå hå hå welcome to liverpool
Man U is a grave of careers. Has been for the last 8 years...bet thing he can do is to avoid the club
United are going to end up paying £150m for anthony and gakpo, both pretty average talents.
That's all they can get as ManU is a mediocre club since Ferguson ended his career
Antony is so average he's playing in one of the most talent filled Brazil squads in years. And Gakpo wouldn't cost £70m either 🤦
Delete this 😂
Ha ha ha ha he doesn't fit in at United at all ..... on his way to the greatest English team of all time ...... welcome to Liverpool f.c ....at least he will win something there
He wont fit! He is a liverpool player now😅
He is no different from martial and rashford again he will flop in epl
Another clown
I think its time to delete this video 😂😂
YNWA
