Morgan Gibbs White is the best player I’ve ever seen wearing a United shirt.

[Berlin Blade]

I’ve been thinking this for a while now so this certainly isn’t a knee jerk from tonight’s performance.

The thought crossed my mind and I laughed it off and then couldn’t remember a better player? I’ve been watching since about 95/96 so I’ve not got the luxury of the Currie years or even really Whitehouse in his prime.

Before you laugh it off, if this is as outlandish as it seems, you’ll be able to name 5 better easily.

Noteable mentions to:

• Jags when we went up or at CM in the promotion year
• Gary speed running our midfield
• Beattie (James)

I think we’re insanely lucky to have him. If he leaves Wolves in the summer it’s for 30 million plus I’d say when you consider his versatility and age and experience for his age. We’ve never owned a player like that in my lifetime.

 

[Scarebus]

No poll?

He's a more athletic and dynamic Duffy

 

[SwitchBLADE Smiles]

Fair. I's a certainty that he's the best loan player we've ever had! The thing that impresses me most about him is how he's just bought into the club. He acts like he gives a shit, and I don't just mean off the pitch semantics. The way he plays, the absurd number of yards he puts in & the way he gets stuck into a tackle (sometimes a bit over the top) for an attacker, is fabulous to see.

He isn't just here to get some minutes. He's here because he's up for it. I like the kid.

 

[robbiez666]

He's too inconsistent at the moment. Unplayable on his day, fairly awful off it. He will be a great player though.

 

[Cappy]

I suppose it depends how long you’ve been watching United.

If a baby opens its eyes for the first time and sees Susan Boyle on the telly, by definition she is the fittest bird it has ever seen.

 

[Rodley]

One of best players I’ve seen in transition. Breaks lines like Whitehurst broke noses.

His athleticism and desire still makes him dangerous when things don't come off. And he never hides or stops chasing

 

[west_yorks_blade]

He’s no Dean Hammond

 

[Rodley]

Wembley matchwinner. Him and Berge.

 

[BladesOnToast]

He only hit that shot straight at the keeper to make Wolves think he's shit and sell him to us

 

[Micky Narker]

I'd add Browny and Macca to your list, hopefully he's our player past the summer...

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Not a patch on Michael Brown 2002-03.

He is very good though.

I covered this in the OP didn’t I. I’ve watched united home and away since the late 90s. Granted not since I moved to Germany 3 years ago but I’ve hardly only just opened my eyes.

For short spells (some were here a while but only shone for a short time)
Brown
Cowans
McGrath
Borbokis
Tonge
Fjortoft

Fair. Imagine them both in the same team. Scary.

I did remember McGrath but in my haste to post I forgot to mention him. Browny defo too.

Different types of players obviously. I thing MGW is a decidedly better all round footballer but Brown's goalsthat yrar were insane

Gives it away a lot more aswell.

Tonge was great for about a season, then for some reason stopped even trying to go past players and played ultra safe.

Still drives me mad. He had days where he looked like Pele in Escape to Victory

 

[Carlton Blade]

He does. Wins it back a lot more too.

For this team, MGW is better. But I'd still take Duffy for a team like 18/19 that dominates possesion in the opposition half and just needs a bit of magic

 

[Berlin Blade]

Gives it away a lot more aswell.

But has a way better touch, much better pace and far better vision, and I fucking love Duffy.

 

[SwissBlade]

He’s alright. But he’ll need to cut all these flicks out if he wants to make a career for himself at United.

Flick to link up with Billy, flick to score the 4th… at this rate Wolves will be selling him to a proper club

 

[Gavlar]

No poll?

He was a ref.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

I just don't think this is true at all. He's excellent every time I see him play.

 

[Scarebus]

Lad can try all the flicks he wants. Can flick my wife if he fancies.

 

[Lupa The Noa]

the only player he can't get past is fucking McBurnie who just brought him down

 

[Weston blade]

Lad can try all the flicks he wants. Can flick my wife if he fancies.

Well that's 12 and counting

 

[robbiez666]

That's simply not true. 25% of games nothing comes off for him. As Carlton says, he always puts a shift in but he's a young lad still learning. Consistency comes with experience.
