Yes? Even Mourinho has dropped some comments about his mentality, saying it's up to him to take control of his future. I hope he does. Anyway, this isn't the thread for it.

He’s also said some very promising stuff. JJ said Jose wants to build his team around him. He’s shown some quality football and that’s playing through injury. No doubt he’ll be different class when fully fit.

I'm not questioning his ability. No idea why that's hard to understand. He looks amazing when he's on it. Whether he can hack it long term, we'll see.

So what are you questioning? His mentality? You said before you’re not sure he can hack it in the prem... that’s left wide open & yes first thing you’d typically think is ability.... obviously not then so was hard to understand.

Think you’re being incredibly harsh on questioning his mentality. What have you seen? Only thing I can think is when he said he didn’t want to play because he didn’t feel fit, played the game after and got injured, so kind of proved his point.

Fucking hell I give up. Think what you like I don't care, I have my opinion and there's nothing you can say that's going to change it. Not saying any more, the thread's been derailed enough.

Lol I’m asking for your opinion because I’m interested to see what I may have missed on the player. Thought that’s the whole point of talking about stuff on here to get different perspectives, no need to get so defensive but yes is the wrong thread ?

Eriksen has been replaced by GLC and to a lesser extent NDombele.
We all know GLC is the replacement to CE.
Why has ndombele not played ahead of eriksen when they have both been fit?
BF is a total playmaker and a different type of player to Tanguy whereas GLC and BF are similar.

Has Tanguy ever ‘been fit’?

United have spent 3 weeks negotiating to end up paying the fee and structure sporting wanted from the start.. Exactly the same thing happened with maguire in the summer. Being twisted into a win somehow by a few journalists! Buckled first because they’re desperate and everyone knows it

Would way rather try to pluck Grealish off Villa in the summer for maybe 40mil or so than this guy at that price.

Think the Grealish boat has sailed, the whole top 6 will be sniffing if Villa go down and if they stay up we won’t pay what they want, which will be 60-80m. The chance to get Grealish was summer 18.

Most likely but maybe if Villa get relegated maybe teams will hold them over the coals. But yeah likely big competition.

I agree with you though, he’s a better player than Bruno and more versatile too. I do rate Bruno and his profile translates to English football pretty well but he won’t be as good as United fans expect him to be.

I would snatch their hand off for £60m. He is now a £100m player and I would pay it. He is the closest England have to Paul Gascogne and is just what we need.

I don’t watch Villa, and haven’t seen much of Grealish, but I think if he was anywhere near Gazza’s quality, I’d have heard about it.

Mate he's nowhere near Gazza. He's a very good player but I think some on here are over-rating him massively imo of course.
