Would be stupid not to.

At the expense of who Gomes and Lovren, do you not think it would risk losing momentum? Blooding the odd kid is ok I suppose.

[Jordy Brouwer]

We've got plenty of cover at centre back. 

[TheHowieLama]

Has Hoever even made the bench in a league game? Don't think he is big enough to play CB at the top level.

 

 

[Harry Squatter]

Glad we never bought that Lloyd Kelly who ended up going to Bournemouth. He's been injured on and off for most of the season and dont think he's even played.

Rumoured to be going back to Bristol City on loan next season.

Breaking, manchester united not prepared to pay more than £50m for sancho from Dortmund. So we're not the only ones 'skint' then.

I wonder why we haven't seen any links to Patson Daka 

 

 

My dad had one of those and traded it in for a Vauxhall Viva

After City we have 6 games in 18 days, everyone will be getting a game. No way he will flog them to death to chase an oil inflated record that could well be expunged anyway.

One world class player per season thats the way we used to do it.

15-16 -- Firmino, Gomez

16-17 -- Mane, Wijnaldum

17-18 -- Van Dijk, Salah, Robbo

18-19 -- Alisson, Fabinho

19-20 -- just missing that wee bit of quality

Hey, listen up Bozo. He said one world class player per season, okay? Not two or three.

Expunged because of extra subs, behind closed doors etc?

[No2]

Not our records, City's.

Isn't this the man united negotiating method? We won't pay a penny more then 50% less then you want. Ok, 60%. Ok 60% with add ons. Ok, we've pissed you off, we'll give you 100% up front with a 25% sell on clause. They've done it on just about every signing they've made over a few mil for years. Probably going back as far as fellaini.

Is the correct answer. Myself, Id love Andy Lonergan to get 5 sub appearances to get a medal. Isnt going to happen I know but what a story that would be for the lad. European Champion, World Champion and Premier League Champions medals at the arse end of a career that hit the heights at Preston and other lower league clubs.

It would be great to get him some game time, maybe a match that would boil some piss for West Ham or Villa.

I may be wrong (usually am) but I thought the PL changed the qualifying criteria for a winners medal and they just gave the same amount of medals as those squad players registered with them.

That was my understanding too, the club are given x amount and they dish them out as they see fit. Martin Tyler was banging on about some lads needing appearances so maybe we're wrong. Anyone that appears in a squad even once has played their part and should get a medal, it's not as if the league can't afford them.

[Anubis]

Jones and Elliot need another three appearances, and Williams needs four.

[Ronnie Whelan]

I'm a bit shocked United aren't going all in for Sancho. He's a brilliant talent and unlike us, he massively improves them immediately. 

 

Dortmund is a huge club. If they are acting the knobhead, they will be told to fcuk off fairly fast. 

 

I still think if he is there by the end of this summer, he is the expensive replacement for Mo or Sadio next summer. I wouldn't rule out Real looking to buy him.

Yeah, think it is still 5 league appearances for a medal.

[Antynwa]

The approach will be dictated by the proposed start date of the new season which I don’t think has been set.

 

I think the key thing here is to bring Williams, Elliott, Jones and Co on individually. Let them be part of a 1st 11 setup.

[sir roger]

I've never understood why the club cant just have another handful made for anybody who deserves one , wouldn't kill them.

 

Couldn't believe some of the lads at Istanbul had to rely on ' The Long Pork Sauasge ' stealing losers medals for them.
