Just heard about Kambwala going to Villareal. Would have loved to have him at the club for another year, but 10 mil with sell-on and buy-back clauses is a better deal than we've gotten in a long time.
seen so many fan complaining about the deal on instagram and I honestly dont see why. 10 mil for a player thats made a few appearances is one of the better deals we've done in the last 10 years
It’s basically a better version of a loan where we are allowed extra funds this window due to selling him but if he does well we can buy him back at a reasonable price. FFP roundabout.
@@johnmitchell2269 Well... Varane has left United. Martinez had two injuries last year but played 2900 minutes or more in each of the previous 4 seasons. Same story for De Ligt - couple of injuries last year (though still played 22 Bundesliga games), but played 2900 minutes or more in each of the previous 7 seasons. Same story for Lindelof - couple of injuries last year, over 2500 minutes basically every season before that. Last year was a nightmare for injuries, and that needs to be resolved. But I don't think we can say "So and so player is injury prone" when, really, it was one season. Was Roy Keane injury prone because he did his cruciate in 97/98?
If he was going to another rival club in the PL the very same people with all these "doubts" would be the ones complaining about how we aren't even going in for him smh
Yeah, but since 22/23 when he tore his knee ligament he's had two more recurrences of that injury. It's RECENT injuries and their long term repercussions that mattter, not the average number of games/days missed per year over the past XX years.
Where did the rumour that he’s slow come from? Nobody watched him fully because he’s very agile and quick. Quick feet to turn,gathers pace quickly. He’s not too pace like a Walker or vdv but he’s as fast as a Gabriel ,faster than Dias Laporte etc
I think he’s a major upgrade on talent, leadership and character. We need more players like him tbh; we’ve been lacking in leaders/characters for a long time.
He's class, let's get him if we can ...Kim Min Jae also joined Bayern but we see he got benched for a Spurs defender doesn't mean KMJ become shitr overnight
Literally the only worrying thing about de Ligt is his injury record. Worsct case scenario he's like a younger Varane, will play for like 30 games a season but those 30 would be bangers. Best case scenario he's sorted his injury problems as he's entering his prime and we get a top class CB for the next 5-6 years minimum. He also complements Lisandro really well, he's the ball winner while Lisandro is the ball player. He didn't fail at Juventus, Juventus failed him. He didn't fail at Bayern, he was voted their best player literally last season. If he still has his injury concerns we're getting him at a good price and we can offload him for another decent price. This is a no-brainer. He's nothing like Maguire, he captained Ajax at 19 and had a decent spell at Juve (in their worst time) and a pretty good season at Bayern (before injuries derailed the second season, and Nagelsmann was sacked for a coach whose playstyle he didnt fit as well)
This is the Stephen Howson I come here for. Not the 'shouty man' hacking it up for the camera trying to be funny or spewing expletives. Good video and cheers from Salford. Have a great day all. England are in a final 'in spite' of Gareth Southgate. Come on Enlgand.
@@Salfordshire Funnily enough just ousted virtually exactly same thing. Howson’s insights are excellent and to someone who is not versed in football intricacies like me, they are invaluable. This version of Howson would be worth a live TV slot.
IMO Howson is one of the better football commentators on YT - pieces like this confirm it - they are considered, evidenced and well structured and delivered. My 8 year old loves watching him. Why then does he then occasionally have to do some expletive laden rants that diminish from his obvious analytical talents?
5 thing to expect from de ligt 🕺 1.hes dutch 2.he'll got compared to maguire as soon as he had bad touch 3.hes head doesnt match his body 4.expect *delightful* as pun in all the youtube vids 5.he got a mancunian slang
It's clear many pundits or just random people talking about him haven't watched him alot. Since no one mentions one of the big problems was De Ligt playing LCV at Juve and Bayern. It doesn't suit him. But because of his quality he has been put there alot. It's one of the reasons Bayern are selling. They are bringing in Tah and Ito. Who can cover LCV. Having Upemacano and Kim next to those. De ligt is high wages of the books for Bayern for a player they can do without.
Actually I didn't mind us signing him until this video. Reminded me of what we used to say when we signed Varane. Also if he's not gonna be the fastest defender is he the best defender to partner with Martinez? 🤔
People are raving about Botman at Newcastle. Having watched both extensively, De Ligt is a better version of Botman. Better reading of the game, similarly physically built, right footed. What we need.
@1:55 Yeah but Ste, how far away is he from a Varane/Rio with being able to keep pace? With Martinez partnering (I’m assuming), will United lack defensive pace?
I was thinking that too, we still won't be able to play a high line. When united push forward it's gonna leave a big gap between midfield and defence. Shaw and dalot aren't rapid either.
He can keep up with Chiesa, I'm ok with his pace. Anything that gets played far enough behind that someone can make up ground on Licha or De Ligt should be Onanas job.
Vibes this transfer window are scary, same as when ETH started. So easy to forget how ass his tactics are mostly, how shit United are against semi-decent teams, how we did not have a LB all year and yet we did not sign one in jan and also gave back reguilon. When we are 10th on the table at christmas, just don't be too surprised, the signs were there.
How come his pace wasn't an issue at Ajax? A more knowledgeable person than me used to say "If a CB constantly has to use his pace his starting position is wrong"
@@hansj5846 He's not even that slow, he was in Juventus training racing and keeping up with Chiesa before Chiesa "lost his speed". He may not have great acceleration, but his top speed is pretty good for a CB
I guess we're gonna be stuck with Maguire and Lindelof as our backups instead of Kambwala. Ste where are the other youth defenders Rhys Bennett and Will Fish?
I agree some players don't play well for certain clubs e.g. Thierry Henry at Juventus, Bergkamp in Italy and then flourish elsewhere. I'm never concerned why he didn't do well at Bayern in the slightest.
Ste in all truth u can do all the research u want on incoming players! No one knows how it’s going to end up as we’ve seen the amount of players flopping - Sceptical at best
De ligt is great but he is not lisandro great at passing into midfield.Martinez has the ability to join the midfield and play as a deep lying playmaker.ETH will improve this aspect of de ligt since he was great at those things at ajax.
Once again the United player i the England team doesnt make the team a winning team. And the way United plays they are way worse than the England play. The tactics in United is so so bad. So no fan from United can say nothing about England or the manager. United finish 8 and won against a hangover City for the FA 😂.
My 5 things to expect from Matthijs would be: 1. Injury 2. Politics 3. Media management and marketing (self) 4. More injuries 5. Future transfer (agent engineered)
We'll see. Never liked De Ligt. Slow on the turn, slow on the recovery. Dismayed at the link, distraught that he is the main replacement centre back. For me, this is like Stephen's love letter to Levi Colwill. The idea of him being better than the reality.
Just heard about Kambwala going to Villareal.
Would have loved to have him at the club for another year, but 10 mil with sell-on and buy-back clauses is a better deal than we've gotten in a long time.
It's a great deal for all parties.
Getting £10m with a buy-back clause for a player with 10 appearances is superb.

@@hansj5846Not really. Jonny Evans is 36, Martinez is injury prone, Lindelof is injury prone, Varane is injury prone and De Ligt is injury prone.

Exactly.
So, why are Bayern selling him?
Nobody else even wants him 🤣🤣
@@LorraineHinchliffe-vg5cb the same reason Juventas sold him and Bayern came in. They wanted someone else. Still doesn't take away how good he is.
You can't win mate your right👍🏻
De Ligt has only missed 38 club games in all his career which goes up to 2017/18 and before
Yeah, but since 22/23 when he tore his knee ligament he's had two more recurrences of that injury.

Wasn't that mainly because harry kane had it in his contract that dier had to be signed and played?
Tuchel.didnt known what he was doing at Bayern.......thank God he didn't come to United
Di Ligt is class, but needs a thorough assessment medically, can't afford another Mount situation
I feel he will be a hit. His technical ability will see him shine alongside Martinez.
De ligt would be a fantastic signing for Man United. He havent been bad in either Juve or Bayern and he would be an upgrade from what we have.

5 thing to expect from de ligt 🕺
1.hes dutch
2.he'll got compared to maguire as soon as he had bad touch
3.hes head doesnt match his body
4.expect *delightful* as pun in all the youtube vids
5.he got a mancunian slang
Idk his head matches his body to me 😂
He's been injury prone ever since the knee ligament injury.. that's the only thing that concerns me, other than that he's a great signing 💯
ETH turning united into a Dutch powerhouse
Caustiously optimistic... Although I am happy with the efficiency of how we're getting things done
It's clear many pundits or just random people talking about him haven't watched him alot. Since no one mentions one of the big problems was De Ligt playing LCV at Juve and Bayern. It doesn't suit him. But because of his quality he has been put there alot. It's one of the reasons Bayern are selling. They are bringing in Tah and Ito. Who can cover LCV. Having Upemacano and Kim next to those. De ligt is high wages of the books for Bayern for a player they can do without.
All this talk about his passing ability etc. will need to see how he settles into premier league style and pressure.
The only pressure I can being a issue for de ligt in the prem is the fitness issue, other wise I think he will be sound
Can we have a video looking at the free agents available? Before Zirkzee I thought Ben Yedder would be a good choice, especially as a free agent
😂
His leadership skills are elite as well him martinez and onana barking orders could be a massive step in being a well organised unit defensively.
Bet stes buzzing we aren't getting branthwaite now 😂, im liking the kadioglu link 👍, would love inacio though like LOVE it if we signed him!
Actually I didn't mind us signing him until this video.
Reminded me of what we used to say when we signed Varane.
Also if he's not gonna be the fastest defender is he the best defender to partner with Martinez? 🤔
Looking forward to the interplay between Onana, De Lijt and Martinez.
Francisco Conceição Fc porto looks good scout report potential !
Why did United sell Willy if they are only going to sign De Ligt as the CB,what about back ups😢😢
He chose to go.
You are assuming Kambwala just wants to sit around waiting. He doesn't.
I’d be happy if the club and to some extent the players contributed to reducing injuries.
Stephen what do you think about Victor Gykeros as a striker. He looks to a monster of a striker
Hermoso. Morgan Whittaker. Can scout them.
Diomande : Scout Report, Ste ?
Why aren't we looking at him ? He is a tank! Should also be cheaper than Yoro ( if we do not get him )
I already sense Omar doing his thing
Take a look at Anton Stach from hoffenheim
Take a look at Buongiorno from Torino
Diamonde CB
You previewing pre season tomorrow starting?
Look at Oussam Ouedragao
Please make a video of perfect partner for Mainoo,I would suggest Pepelu/Anton Stach/Ugarte/Florentino Luis
I was banging on about Anton when he was at Mainz.
Hoffenheim bought him for €11m..... he'll cost a bit more now 😂
Agreed I like him better when he's not outside the ground trying to be funny
Would Gabriel Sara be a good backup to Mainoo
Locko from Brest would be the best LB to get
Styles make fights? Managers make players? Hope so.
Hi Steve would you like to have a look at shaqueel van Persie to become a academie player and later a starter for mu? Hi potential material
Is JB a perfect backup to both? Has a left and right foot.
Why are we chasing Yoro instead of closing the De licht deal......
Not that were gonna get him, but Nicolo Rovella would be mint
Hope united can get Diomande instead of Branthwaite
People are raving about Botman at Newcastle. Having watched both extensively, De Ligt is a better version of Botman. Better reading of the game, similarly physically built, right footed. What we need.

@@adamstannard7934 good to hear its just the impression I have of him
Will Ste’s hairline ever go?
his hairline better than me and i’m 19 😭
This is not what the videos about😡
Nah, looks like he has good genes. My grandfather's hair didn't start fading until his 60s
I think he would also look classy without hair.
I know right! So jealous of that crop of hair
I guess we're gonna be stuck with Maguire and Lindelof as our backups instead of Kambwala. Ste where are the other youth defenders Rhys Bennett and Will Fish?
leny yoro also? id love if united brought them both
So, why the f are Bayern selling hin?
hes not our replacement of varane, that was todibo or yoro
Hope: a new Rio.
Expectations: He would be benched by Maguire. And always injured.
Take a look at Joris Chotard from Montpellier
I agree some players don't play well for certain clubs e.g. Thierry Henry at Juventus, Bergkamp in Italy and then flourish elsewhere. I'm never concerned why he didn't do well at Bayern in the slightest.
There are more recent examples with Mohamed Salah and KDB at Chelsea.
I wouldn’t call
This “marginal gains”…in the good times we had 4 defenders..a heavily staked midfield and 4 strikers.. 🤷🏻♂️
De ligt ain't slow, don't forget the europa league final where he easily shackled a young rashy all game
Ste in all truth u can do all the research u want on incoming players! No one knows how it’s going to end up as we’ve seen the amount of players flopping - Sceptical at best
"Carrick"
You forgot to expect INJURY
Has he signed then? 😅
didn't start a game in euros 👀
I thought man utd would learn from maguire's transfer, De ligt= Little quicker maguire
Things to expect:
frequent visits to the physio
De ligt is great but he is not lisandro great at passing into midfield.Martinez has the ability to join the midfield and play as a deep lying playmaker.ETH will improve this aspect of de ligt since he was great at those things at ajax.
5 things to expect if he can stay fit that should be the title😂
Many a ball back
De ligt same play as Martínez ? LOOOOL again he didn’t watch him play
If he wasn't shit he wouldn't have been injured and sold all the time
Waste of money. Kambwala is better.
