2021/22 Richarlison

[TheBigIguana]

Richy had a better year than both of those players
Rashford looks done
Sancho, arguably settling but bought for the right side
Ronaldo would love his determination to fight for the team, because the lack of it is something that has shocked him since returning to the club that used to have players who care.
I don't, I want us to keep him, but if he does go to them, it'll be for the starting 11 and he'd score more than 7(which is where this exchange began)

That's a wild one for me.

That's a wild one for me.

I mean, quoting your own words here for a player turning 25 in a few months...

I break it down like this:

23 and under are young players still developing.

24-29 is the peak years.

30 and over you're on the backside.

Now none of that is a hard rule but for me I wouldn't be expecting 25 year olds to get a ton better nor would I expect 29 year olds to last for five years more. It happens sure but you've got to work off of what is most likely. So imo all those guys you've listed are probably close to what their best is going to be.

Well, in comparison to what he was
I have Gray/Gordon over him, Richy definitely
The kid is on 300k per week, but not worth a quarter of it
Maybe Ten Hag does something but it's a tough ask

Yes mate so saying Rashford is done doesn't fit. Thanks for helping as always.

 

[PhilM]

He’s far from setting the world alight is he? For me, I don’t think he’s enjoying his football or at least hasn’t been.

But he's currently done, and you say you don't expect players of his age to get better, so then he'll remain done...

Remember Hazard had a random year where he was awful. It can happen.

Even this down year was easily better than Gray or Gordon though. That's silly.

I do think sometimes we fail to realize the gap that exists. Gordon playing good and Rashford being bad maybe narrows the gap but it doesn't erase it completely because it's freaking huge.

you said you can't see a 25yr old get much better so I don't see how he helped your point at all
Rashford has got worse in your 'developing' phase
Age is definitely not everything, just an abritrary compartmentalisation

You seen Pirates of the Caribbean? Remember the thing about rules and guidelines? Apply it to that post.

Rashford - 5 G / 2 A
Gray - 6 / 5
Gordon - 4 / 3
Townsend - 7 /4

He definitely wasn't
And considering the amount of possession Utd have in the oppositions half compared to us, number of chances etc, it only adds to it

Am I allowed to look at more than last year or do we have a strict season by season outlook?

A fun thing we keep doing is saying how it is hard for our attackers because we don't create enough as a defense for the attackers meant to be creative.

No. No we don't
