But the point still stands. What would he offer to a serious team that’s would be willing to pay our evaluations for him?
Only if he takes a sharp turn we get the valuation ....unless Chelsea is jonesing again this summer.

If Management was serious though we could still build a good team with him in it was my point, being too dependent is the position we have put ourselves in with this notion that he is MBappe. I guess that's the comparison you maybe really drawing but as critical as I am on Rafa I could easily see a situation with him working where with Harden it will never be fruitful.

Edit: @Deep Fried Pizza & Chips - I didnt see your post until after I responded, nail on the head Bro

I mean, it’s Alexander and Napoleon at the top of the all time European general list, right?

Musah's blessing and curse is his unrivalled dutility. I'm sure you could put him in goal instead of Maignan and be surprised to realise he's not that much of a downgrade. On top of that, making our line-up in the last few weeks has been about as difficult as sleeping with a blanket that's too short - if you pulled it anywhere to cover yourself up, you'd expose another spot. For example, if you moved Theo into central defence, you were missing the full-back. And so on and so forth. Musah was just perfect at plugging all those holes. As a result, he played practically every game, which is great for a player as young as him, but at the same time bad for his development if he has to learn a new position every 30 minutes (!).
I have to say I fear for his development under Pioli... @Samaldinho and I discussed him a bit before he arrived I'm sure.

Discussing his versatility is great and all but for him to shine, and shine he can, he needs to be directed and trained in a certain position or 2... Playing every position might plug gaps but it's not a good thing.

The guys blessing and curse is that he's good and versatile, but I'd like to see him used regularly in his best position.

He can be a GREAT player at B2B with his defensive duties added to with training and proper development.

Pioli will burn him out so bad if this current situation continues.

We all know my thoughts on Gerry, but its all very strange the Ibra situation.

I'd not be surprised if he never took up his roll lol and was part of a propaganda campaign at this point.

Before taking up a position at RB and only stopping in at Milan for saving face reasons and to distract attention from other issues.

So, when we are bad we go 3-4-3 and if that is not good, we go 4-2-3-1

Pioli for you

Pioli is a terrible coach for Musah. At such young age, playing so many different positions is not an easy task, and Musah although gets constant playing time, but he is not getting any sort of continuity in a certain position. It is visible on the pitch that sometimes he looks clueless, and doesn't know where to position himself tactically. Musah had couple of good games at the start, some bright moments and matches. But in my opinion, in the last month or so, his performance dropped significantly.

Reijnders-Musah-RLC as a trio is simply not working. Neither of the 3 players are a natural DM, all of them are best when played as a box-to-box player. In the beginning of the season, we played well with Krunic as DM, and after his injuries, when Adli emerged as a regista option. I hope with Bennacer back in the group, he can regain his match fitness quickly, and start owning that DM role. Musah should be rotating with RLC and Reijnders, not play simultaneously with them.

Also now that all of Leao, Okafor, Pulisic, Chukwueze are healthy, Pioli can stop with this Musah RW crap. Musah should only play as a box-to-box, simple as that. Let the kid develop in that role.
What a pile of garbage :lol:

Young players should just play anywhere is fine

I lost all trust in Pioli as a coach...

but I dont agree with people who say he doesnt play young players out of spite, be it Adli, Thiaw or Simic.

Thiaw got introduced into the squad when he was ready and he is doing a great job. If he were introduced too fast that could derail him.

With Adli no matter what we thought, the dude clearly wasnt ready. Brother is a defensive brainfart waiting to happen. He is still clueless and average in most of things apart from direct passing. He is now a rotational player, so I really dont think he was ready last season.

The same now with Simic. Why people consider him ready when they saw nothing from him yet is beyond me.

This isnt football manager where you just throw random wonderkids in.

Pioli out.

I also think this. IMO versatility is a huge advantage.

Of course folks here are fucked in their brains overthink everything . If it’s somebody like Messi yeah build team around them otherwise kids should get more playing time, they make mistakes and improve or they can sit on the bench.

Musah is doing fine he needs few more years of experience. He has shown some good sparks in few games.

Kessie, Dona, Rafael all made so many mistakes

I always think about Neils giving Paolo a start even though he was replaced.

To be honest am disappointed from Adli.
I expected much more from him.
There is something wrong with his body language that i dont like.
He seems like will loose possession or misplace a pass every time he has the ball.

inter are not allowed to get the second star before us:lol:
I honestly don’t get why people are obsessing over this. I would understand if no club had ever reached 20 championships before but Juve literally have 36. Who cares who first reaches the milestone of being only 16 Scudetti behind Ladri? Personally I will never bring myself to root for a Juventus victory unless it helps Milan’s position in the league.

£34m is laughable considering it’s Man United and he’s English. In today's market I’d say double that would be reasonable
£100 million or get to fuck!!!

He's been one of our best this season....

He’s been the best by a long mile. That’s not saying much but he’s the only player who’s been consistently good and who’s improved from last season.

If me can continues his form he's easily one of the first names on the sheet.

At folk talking about Musah and his versatility... Along with those commenting on how similar our midfielders are, you know that it's bent design?

So this is an issue of our own making!

Pioli wanted runnings, well we got them.

While we control possession at times, it's more because we out run other teams, but time and time again we see loss of possession and poor final passes.

We lack players with defined rolls and positions that suit them, dictated too them by a "good"" coach.

I talked a lot in the summer about Musah, his versatility while good, is only helping the team short-term. Long term we're going to see the same issues we're seeing, over and over and over.

Ben coming back will hopefully have a positive impact, but Krunic should hardly see starting minutes and someone needs to drill Deers and train him and figure his actual position for fuck sake!

Same goes for RLC, I've said it before, what it he?

He needs reigned in a bit I feel, and we need to start fitting the best options around certain players... A luxury I know given our injuries.

But any moaning about midfield faults, if you also cheer for Pioli and Gerry, you're an actual MORON because this is their doing lol.

Krunic needs to go, we need to figure out what the fuck we're doing with Adli, if they're both gone, we NEED 2 leveling up starting midfielders, who know where to play and compliment our over stacked "runners" department.

That being said, there's hope for a few players in this midfield. Under proper supervision and guidance, we can steamroll Serie A!!!
