Achraf Hakimi

And, and, you know, this is what I mean.

Work rate without ability won't get you there, and ability without work rate won't get you there, and it's that finite group of people with Dalot's mentality and work rate, but the ability of a Hakimi or whatever like that.

He's just, he's just not good enough.

And I think we're at the point now where we have to be harsh because, you know, he's saying in that interview when he came in, there was player, players who'd been here for a long time telling him about it.

I think he's got the right attitude, the right determination.

I think he gets what Man United's all about.

But sadly, the one player you wish had the ability of Hakimi, it's him, and he doesn't.

He's just a, he's just an average right back really.

Um, but of course, he's had howlers, but he's also had some fantastic signings.

The Lautaro signing, the Hakimi signing, which Marotta himself said was all Ausilio.

And yes, he've had, he's had some bad ones as well.

Um, so I think now it's, it's much more clear that this is, this is Marotta's project entirely.

I could have sworn he was on the right.

Was he at left-back? But Kimi plays at right-back, doesn't he? He does.

So yeah, he was at left-back and he played quite reasonably well.

He played quite well attacking.

I remember him skinning someone, I think, down that flank.

But yeah, he plays left-back for Morocco, I think, all the time because of Kimi's...

Yeah, yeah.

So he can do it.

Let's go to the Ballon d'Or as the nominees came out this week and lots of African interest there in various categories.

Morocco's Atraf Hakimi nominated again among 10 PSG players there for the men's award and Senegal's Sajo Mane made it to the 30-man list as well while his teammate at Al Nasser in Saudi Arabia, Cristiano Ronaldo, was not picked, Piers.

No, he was not.

And you can only imagine the awkwardness in the Al Nasser dressing room about that.

So...

I wonder if he's a big enough name for it, but Mane certainly is, let's call it, for the fact that he didn't walk off one of the few Senegalese players during that infamous AFCON final.

Against Morocco, of course, where Ashraf Hakimi didn't cover himself in glory with his antics with Edouard Mendy's towel.

But let's focus on his playing ability, which is unmatched anywhere on the continent right now.

I still am a bit worried about PSG's depth at right back.

It was Senemiyulu who came on right back to replace Hakimi here.

And whether...

Safanov is good enough in goal to be able to justify going through an entire season.

are doing it for the people to talk about so satisfaction needs to go in correlation with what they do

i mean people definitely agree we are here to prove whether and state our opinions whether what they put out was um you know the the right names and everything that should have been included but let's start off with the top 30 of the balondo uh the top 30 has some exciting names So we have on the list, we have Bellingham, we have Kubasi, we have Dembele, Kukuella, Luis Diaz, Bruno Fernandes, Haaland, Gabriel of Arsenal, Harry Kane, Hakimi, Laminyamao, Kavaskeria, Sadio Mane, Marquinhos.

Um, One of the notable names that a lot of people are talking about that why is he not here is Pedri.

Why is he not
