Don't think I've ever seen Statman so negative about ANY player, EVER.
This is hilarious 😂 😂
I'm shocked too 😮
Look up his video about Rabiot when Utd nearly signed him last year. Its hilarious 🤣
@@TheGunnerRyan Cheers mate, I'll have a look 👌
That's why I think it might work
I think you guys are just focusing on the negative part about Reguilon. He talked a lot more in depth about problems at United currently. The Reguilon subject was just a few mins which he explained why it wasn’t a good idea logically (not just emotionally).
Until the glazors are out, we are going to continue have this problem. While new ownership isn't a magic fix, I’d imagine the ones currently in the race are a lot more serious. We also don't seem to have a good structure top down and are negotiation skills are almost impressively bad lol
United couldn't had signed onana last year because he already signed a pre contract agreement in January 22 with inter
Fair that's my bad 🙌
facts
He was emotional i get
His wages likely would've been higher if they got him on a free too if anything
I think sometimes you need to take a step back.
IMO Ten Hag is slowly but surely upgrading the team but due to the sins of previous regimes he's limited in terms of what he can do. United have also been very unlucky in terms of both senior left-backs picking up long-term injuries at the same time. From a pure footballing perspective losing Greenwood is massive too. All things essentially outside of the club's control.
In terms of this summer's signings. A lot of people are down on Mount but I think he'll prove his worth, Onana already looks like a massive upgrade, Hojlund is a gamble but if he comes off will be huge for us and we now have some excellent midfield cover in Amrabat. Plus Hannibal, Amad, Mainoo to come into the squad in the coming weeks.
Centre back is an issue. Varane has been a crock the entire time he's been here and that's probably one of the motivations for Maguire sticking around. Both need to be moved on next summer.
This has also been the best summer for sales in years. Elanga, Fred, Henderson, Telles, Kovar all moved on along with various youth teamers that ETH decided aren't up to it (much better than just keeping these guys hanging around for years). De Gea off the wage bill too.
tl;dr version I think United are stronger than last season and are moving in the right direction. This season will be tough given how much the other teams have strengthend but I think we're moving in the right direction. Just need to get the takeover done now.....
Thanks for stating things as they are. Is it a perfect window and a perfect situation the club is in? Well ofc no, but there has been a lot of turmoil with the takover, the greenwood situation, and now a sudden injury crisis. All things considered, the team looks a lot better than it did last year and while maguire and mctominay should have been shipped off, we still had the most outgoings in a while amd move in the right direction.
Im getting tired of utd fans who havent got the memo yet that we have been shit for years because we never actually had a rebuild. ETH inherited a squad thats an incoherent mess of half a dozen former managers that all failed, all with different styles.
He wins one trophy and ppl think we are back but we are not, we need at least 2 more seasons until he has got the squad to play his style. By that time players like hojlund antony maybe even malacia, amad and mainoo will have matured more and players like mount and onana will also have properly settled in. We are moving in the right direction and have performed far better than liverpool did when klopp took over and arsenal when arteta took over.
Spot on
What about antony and sancho?
80 mil on each😢...
Blah blah blah go support Luton with your low standards
You have such low standards. We are going to finish lower in the league this season, and we're going to go without a trophy. I can guarantee we won't get top 4.
And what happens when he proves you all people wrong, you start praising him
He will
With this much tacticos saying same shit I think he will.
He'll doing nuthin'.
Wait so you mean when I have an opinion and it is proven wrong I should stick to it regardless?
Yes.. You praise him.. Opinions change bro..
Well said Dave 👍🏼
I watch hockey, American Football, and this football. European football is the only sport where fans know more then the coaches/ managers lol
Yes yes Dave! Never seen your vid have such heat! 🔥
to be fair, i think Ten hag specifically requested for mount and he probably wanted him as early as possible so the club did what they had to do to get that done. but that is also one of the problems, we don't have a good director of football that can offer suitable and cheaper alternatives to the manager. i was positive before the season started but now my anxiety is back.
The fact we didn't get Kim and still relying on injury prone Varane is actually appalling!
Amrabat is done so chill a bit, mount is weird transfer but the others were good transfers Ten Hag has a plan I believe it
Na Antony for 90m when we have pallistri and amad is just foolishness from those managing the club
Amrabat isnt good enough to where United want to get to.
@@Kneetbomb Antony is Ten Hag signing, Ajax didn't want to sell him but Man Utd forced the transfer
@@James-st9uu then you haven’t watched Amrabat he got the better of rice last season and he is good enough right? He will be a very good singing for that price
@@James-st9uu you're in for a shock
Dave, it's hard to see you so downbeat. You're always so positive. My biggest concern about our signings is all of them apart from Casemiro and Højlund played in the Eredivisie but Rasmus has the same agent as ETH. Surely we have a better was of finding players than that?
I've thought about this !!
I'd love a video on how different clubs could have had a better window had they bought players that went to other clubs this summer, even if i would have cost them more.
Liverpool could have done with Pavard and several CDMs that went this summer.
Well said Dave
Rant over! :-) Great sum up of the whole situation at the club! 🙌
i quite rate reguilon as a squad player, i don’t see what people are hating about him
I don't think Simeone's trust has ever been a criteria to sign any player EVER. bro chill
I agree that recruitment has been really lackluster, it feels as though our negotiators aren't timing their moves for certain players very well. We're also making inflated transfer bids just to get deals over the line rather than having a shortlist of players to turn to when a deal becomes too expensive (granted, EtH may well be telling them "this is the player I want, get it done."). Amrabat is thankfully joining on loan, but it has been a poor window. We needed the additional cover at CB to push Maguire out, but unfortunately without the c. £90m from the owners, that's just not possible without selling first.
who did you expect man utd to sign? This was the best target we could have got financially. We can easily terminate his contract in january. U didnt expect man utd to sign davies did ya?
Well said, Dave.
This perfectly captures my feelings as a United fan.
reguilon is actually better than ppl give him credit for. plenty of experience and can cross better than any full back at the club right now.
agree, he isn't great defensively but crossing wise, above average
Thank You 🙏
You are right and spot on...The only question i ask is why player sign for us and suddy start underperforming.Maybe even our training isn't good enough or how do you explain Sancho in bvb or Anthony in ajax vs now..
No mention whatsoever of Amrabat, who we've known for two months is coming and now he's here which had to have been known at the time this video was shot. Reguilon as been brought in as a third LB, not to replace Shaw or Malacia. But still bigging up Onana, who may someday be the next Buffon but so far has been a bit of a mare (four goals conceded against two relegation scrappers) except for that one gorgeous pass to Garnacho. I like James Garner, but he's in no way in the same league as Casemiro. United are a badly run club, but bringing in Reguilon as third choice at LB and starting Casemiro over Garner is hardly proof of that.
I think Dave doesn’t know the window is still open 😂
Also Onana is on 1/3 of the first wages de gea was on. Saving about 15 mil
think you need to remember what we are competing with, Man City is the bar, and we are streets away from that and can't even be confident in finishing in the top 4 every season
@@ap7football933 think you need to remember the point he was making 😂
think you missed dave's point regarding garner
It's interesting that you think valuations of the players you mentioned wouldn't have changed once united came in for them because they clearly would and most of the times do so I think playing championship manager isn't the same unfortunately for you but I do agree that some of the business is questionable at best
Righteous anger from Statman Dave here. Calling out what a mess our team building/recruitment has been. Not only this summer but for the last 10 years.
Thank you for this Dave! Brilliant!
WELCOME TO MANCHESTER UNITED SERGIO REGULION
Couldn't agree more Dave, Amrabat signs for United finally !!. Would have been a perfect summer if we had gone for another right center back (Todibo) and a RB (Hakimi) !!. Sadly we had the injury crisis to mess up the window !!. Still, I can't believe we didn't accept the Westham deal for Scott and Maguire !!
hakimi ain't cheap
@@looptimelapse true would have gone for a swap deal with Mason Greenwood and Dalot for Hakimi !!. PSG were desperately looking for Strikers earlier in the window !!
Got a feeling Reguilon will just be a bench warmer and Dalot will be playing. Malcia is injured another 6 months actually.
Thinking about it, Garner inverting could've worked over Wan Bissaka is good and has been good this season but he's not an inverting fullback
One of your best videos 😂
Dave Goldbrigde😂😂
Loved statman rant🎉
Thought you were spot on for the most part here, Dave. You got my sub. I'm not too excited for utd much this year, I'm really watching more critically and trying not to get emotionally involved as with past seasons. Cheers
Send the club an Email and offer them your superior negotiation skills.
The problem with United is that they are still stuck in 2009 with regards to squad building, player development, and academy activities.
100% with you Dave, it's not good enough
Statman Dave is now Badman Dave. Congrats on your success!
Reguilon is going to shock everyone... He just needs that trust and he'd deliver same output as at Sevilla
He was decent at Real Madrid honestly, at best he's a 2nd choice fullback but nevertheless he has good attributes given the trust of a manager
hope so
Mason mount also didn't make any sense but we still signed him. Reguilon was brilliant with sevilla as an attacking left back. One of our midfield will have to sit back and cover the full backs. Amrabat can do that.
Legend 😂 but you gotta laugh sometimes at how poorly run our club is. Long season ahead
Realistically Ten Hags signings have been spot on so far.. I know Anthony gets some stick but he had a solid if unspectacular season last year. Reguilon will most likely come and go but the other lads should do a good job for the team
Onana already signed a pre contract with Inter Dave.
You said everything! Keep it up.
I have a feeling he will work hard under us, probably won’t be greatest left back in the prem but I feel he will be solid. I see your case but just got to be patient and wait m. That Fernandez is very good im confused why we didn’t rely on him but obviously ten hag and the coaches see definitely
Not as bad of a decision as the mullet Dave
Once again, we need a better recruitment team and DoF, in addition to new owners. That's it.
we needed a leftback asap due to all of them being injured and we got one on loan. it's not a disaster. we needed a left back end of. Also for all these stats when he was under mourinho at spurs he passed my eye test
move over SAF, here comes internetenjoyer!!!
@@siisti81he's right, Reguilon always passes the eye test. If he replicates his sevilla form he is top top class
Yeah why give the developing youth a chance when you can have a player that has not played good football in the past 2 years.
@@INDZDIPSET didn't dave say he played something stupid like 90 minutes the whole season? or was it 300? Either way, that tells me the coach thought he was trash.
Dave Bayern arent fcking selling Alphonso Davies
How can you loan with option to buy mason mount if hes only got 1 year left on his deal?
absolutely right
How have they not contacted you is my first thought considering you were there a while back and knew the ins and outs of tactical know how during games. We're a mess and we always will be, would take us years to even get something good sorted for our academy or progression.
Pain😭😭😭😭😭😭
ETH literally took a shit on our academy players....look ar the number of players that left for derisory transfer fees...
YOURE BEING UNFAIR. nobodyy expected a major shaw injury. we had to bring in a body. i dont think weve done much wrong here
They made it clear that Signing him makes room for Amrabat. As long as Amrabat is back, For me that’s not a waste of money. They also made it clear Malacia is still unknown. Plus the break clause is there.
Instead of waiting for them to call you why not put together one of these videos and send it them may be you will genuinely say something they haven't heard before and thought of which is unlikely but you never know
Yeah have to agree, but think was because worse case scenario if any other injuries on the backline, although fernandez but put out on loan again 🤷🏻
What does Alvaro Fernandez have to do to get into this team? The kid is a baller. Arguably our most oress resistant player. He just glides past players. Or are my eyeballs out?
statman with the trim
A CB to replace Maguire was necessary. Varane has a horrible injury record so we needed to sign Todibo for example. I agree with the rest of what was said. I don't know why we've signed Reguilon unless Ten Hag believes Shaw may not play much this season at all.
Anyway, hopefully the club is sold so we can leave this "rooting around the back of the couch for cash" approach to transfers.
There was no sense in the Mount deal. Overpaid, too early in the window, arguably not what we needed and was prioritised over a CB.
Well, what a ray of hopelessness. I'll just hold out for next season.
If Reguilon can stay fit, he’s actually a decent player.✔️
My thoughts exactly on this window and recent ones. Murtough keeps releasing press leases after signings, like are you serious mate 😂
Hair looks nice bro
since 2012 ma team has given me cancer n heart attack for 11years.
I can wait for whole rest of my life. What I want to see is not winning ManU but ManU who has gutts even we loose we fight n loose that is ManU
I don't think we really have a choice though, Shaw and Malacia are fairly injury prone and Ten Hag clearly wants multiple players for each position for training and rotation purposes, and he probably thinks that with Shaw and Malacia both constantly rotating in and out with injuries, it's more like having 1 fit player between the two of them rather than one player and one backup. If Reguilon is fairly cheap on wages, I think he's better than people give him credit for and had to deal with a very difficult time at Spurs and Atletico Madrid. He's also an excellent left-footed crosser and I think that's the main thing Ten Hag is trying to fill. Dalot might be competent as an inverted right footed fullback but across our club, without Shaw, we don't have any good natural left footers who can cross the ball well.
Since when does Shaw cross the ball well ?
@@braap786he is the well crosser in uinted full back right now
Yeah Reguilon is exactly the kind of player that fits ManU right now. This signing perfectly sums up the club right now
i look at the way man city is run and even the way newcastle is being run currently and that leads me to prefer saudi ownership even though i was on the fence about them previously. both clubs have spent money, granted and in the case of man city, its probably easier to overlook failures because of team success but you can see a tangible plan in what these clubs are doing. i can never figure out what manchester united is actually trying to do
You don't need a sugar daddy or oil to run a club right. The people in power at United are so under skilled. It's a mess. A lot of people at our club are just collecting a wage packet. Bayern are poorer than us yet have powerful people backstage running things from Addidas etc. They are levels above us for that reason. Standards are higher as are the people working there.
@@Djsonley But thing is these Saudi guys don't just spend money, they see to it that they have an excellent structure and the money is efficiently managed. They set a vision for the club.
@@Djsonley saudi is the future.
Haven't seen Statman Dave this angry!
We've been poorly run for a long time and this rant was long overdue. Appreciate you highlighting the truly shit job we've done managing this club.
hit the nail on the head
I think we can see shaw playing as CB more this season and dalot as LB i dont think shaw is good enough to play inverted role
Someone give Dave a job in recruitment ASAP.
Finally , his eyes now are opened. It's about time. Now if we can get the other channels to see that Manchester United are not a serious football team. Not serious about winning, not serious about winning Major Silverware and not serious about retaining the glories of the past. Wonder if Unied would have been happy spending the 170-180 mil on Kane and Hojlund. 100 for Kane, 70 for Hojlund or are they happier with what they got? Mount, Onana and Hojlund? Thank you my friend for finally acknowledging the obvious. This club is average at best......so get use to it. Or start watching teams like.........Brighton, Ansu Fati's new team. Look at it this way, fans pay their money for quality product. They are not getting their money's worth. Sir Bobby Charlton recalled in his 2007 autobiography 'My Manchester United Years' that Sir Matt Busby preached it was a footballer's 'duty' to entertain, 'to provide a little spark, a little colour, for the men and women who come to Old Trafford at the end of a working week.' I would as United world..........are you getting your money's worth and are you entertained?
We went for him because how cheap the deal was and only until January, a big club could have gone for Cucurrela for the last minute loan.
Wat worried us here was DALOT .
HE GONNA B LIKE MAGUIRE
Sad Times
Got to agree with everything you've said Dave. We didnt need another left back as we had Dalot and Alvaro Fernandez. Our scattergun recruitment policy just makes no sense. We need new owners who will get rid of the incompetent deadwood (Arnold, Murtaugh etc) and bring in a director of football and backroom staff who are competent and pulling in the same direction. We used to be a well run football club. Now we are so badly run from top to bottom that we're a laughing stock. All of Ferguson, David Gill, and Martin Edwards' hard work has been undone over the last ten years, thanks to owners who dont care how well run we are, just so long as they can put their hands in the till every year and help themselves to a bit of pocket money.
Dalot is dog shite at left back and Fernandez isn't ready to be thrown in at the deep end.
He’ll probably only play for 6 weeks tbf and is only costing 53k. Dalot may even play there if hes rubbish, seems like a safety option
Just look at the Major problem it highlights about Man united and it's actually super embarrassing!
No club that calls itself big that would be this shitty. Soo much chaos there's nothing that can hide it
@@directorme6669 i dunno i think in fairness on this one they havent done too much wrong. Because they’re so useless people are quick to complain but they’ve got two left backs and they’re both injured. What are they supposed to do? Reguillon is on low wages and has prem exp, maybe the cucurella fee was really high?
Im not saying its perfect but compared to usual united its not too bad a decision
@@DanielS10291 why not just give Fernandez a chance, shows how much faith they have in the academy
@@DanielS10291 I don't know where some of you are getting the nerve to call this transfer window better.... IT'S NOT! Fernandez would have been good enough to cover that position in my opinion
He’s not wrong. Thankfully ETH is doing well but if there’s 1 thing Im seeing is that Bruno & Casemiro are our only consistent players. I’d put Eriksen at 3rd, but we really do need to improve😂
Good analysis scoutsman Dave.... Please scout 18 year old Relebohile Ratomo Mofokeng of Orlando Pirates (South Africa).
I don't think any other fan base can over exaggerate like united fans, united fans are also expert of following what every other person says
Statman is angry! Keep it coming!!
Reguilon is a barely warm body. United's window is a failure. Statman Dave is spot on. Roy Keane called us "the new Spurs" after Spurs demolished us. He's not wrong.
Disagree with the Taremi and Hojlund point.. its great we got Hojlund honestly. Younger player fixes our issues with age
Statman Dave is not having it!
At least we only have to keep him until January i would have rather had Cucurella
I really want Scott Mctominay to play in CB. Huge upgrade on Harry Maguire
Wait till he finds out we signed Evans for a Year 😂😂😂👍🏽
Dalot was okay at LB last week. Hopefully he doesn’t lay an egg against Saka though.
Putting Dalot up against Saka will be setting ourselves up for massacre... He's awful at defending one on one. Reguilon is equally poor
@@directorme6669Cant be worse than Shaw vs Saka.!
@@Nikos169saka will slaughter Dalot if he starts, united could have got a different lb from somewhere instead of reguilon, no one's fit for lb as of now against top players, only if the scouting department existed united could have got a good player for a low price on every position and the squad management wouldn't be a mess.
@@kkb8510 My point is he can’t do worse than Shaw who backs off Saka continually. Rats out!! 🟢🟡
@@directorme6669 shaw is no better, but I do agree with your point regarding dalot. he was one of the reasons why we lost 7-0 at anfield.
I understand your frustration…a lot is just off!!!
Anyone else feel weird about this video? Doesn’t seem like Dave at all, like he’s putting it on. I way prefer Dave’s tactical explanations and analysis videos than this. Dave if you’re reading; be yourself mate, we don’t need another Stephen Howson!
Brilliant video - would rather watch something that is honest and realistic like this rather than videos spouting how good a player will be and how they will improve the team. Agree 100% about the youth and giving players like Mejbri and Fernandez a chance. Whilst Arambat is needed where does that leave Kobie Mainoo - hope that he isn't pushed out more now,. We've wasted so much on players that don't become first teamers such as sancho and mount . However do still believe in Ten Hag, and hope is given time, but still dont trust the structures above him.
I doubt Bayern would have sold Davies for any money in the world. Or only for a fee that would be extremly unreasonable, so I guess could have been a fit for ManU. Not to mention that he has been quiet injury prone himself the last few years
Idgaf about that lb its arambat time but i agree with us loaing out alvaro fernadez bc we have 3 lbs when malacia ajd swha get back and dalot can play their soo i dont see game tome for fernadez
Lol that’s what this club does, dragged the Amarbat deal out till the last day of the window so fans like you get excited even though this window has been an absolute farce.
@@ryanblain358 yh but i cant be angry and negative all the time like u lee like fans i cant stand u we could sign mbappe and u will still find negatives i know the gakzer are shit anf out window wasnt good but just bc of that doesnt mean i wouldnt be excited about i player i really like

u r damn right
The whole club from the top to the bottom needs an overhaul if we are to become an actual footballing club again. Liverpool, e.g., reset their entire midfield in one summer. Yet here we are still persisting with players from as far back as the Van Gaal era (Fergie era if we now include Evans). We also love inflating the value of slightly above average players like Shaw, Bruno, and Anthony and don't move on players past their prime like Varane. Until we are having an honest conversation about ALL players instead of just picking on the select few, we're going to remain in this cycle. We have so many players who are not good enough to take that next step, yet we're too blinded because of how systematically the bar has been lowered over the last decade.
