I get that and I'm all for Trafford 100%. I just think it rarely works out very well when you have two keepers thinking they should be number one and competing throughout a season. Pope is absolutely the keeper I would prefer to see stay and help Trafford progress but he'll want to be playing 40 games this season and so will Trafford. It's going to be tricky to keep them both happy.

Well I could be wrong but to me the shade of blue and its shine is a nod to 98/99, which also had a very faint striped texture/weave, though it was horizontal in that case. The subtle 'pinstripe' effect could be a nod to that or - heavens above - something original. Meanwhile you've got the badge and the green aspects reflecting 97/98. Obviously the orange is consistent across both.

Only thing il remember he joined Man U on loan and said that was his “dream” fucking lucky he got to come back and play for us at all

I gotta get one of those.

I just hope young Trafford is with us for a while and our defence doesn't become too leaky.

That’s how our Jacob Murphy debate started…

I was so angry at the Fulham game, almost forgot how good the build up to Barnes goal was.

That's who Garnacho reminds me of.

Much better than this seasons home effort imo

Yellow to match the Noon patch?

Best kit we have had for years .

Looks like the only approved lettering colours are white, black, red, navy and yellow Maybe in the CL though

Imagine it will be white.

Wat?

Do you reckon numbering will be available in orange?

We already have Barnes which is the player Garnacho will turn into.

Trafford in the centre of our goal

Morata has had a mad career

Gorgeous. Buying, Joelinton 7 on back

Who said it was 30million? Heard it was closer to 20 Million

Le Havre-ing a laugh aren’t you? Yeah, I’ll just go and fuck myself off. . . .

I disagree in the sense that I believe we CAN afford to gamble, and therefore I think we should. Our first team is good enough to challenge for top four (evidently since it has done for 3 years) and even much maligned players like Murphy and Burn are worthy first team players who can’t be easily displaced. Then there are players who have had a relatively bad season (Willock, Longstaff, Gordon) who if they stay could improve us if they play to their potential. We have some decent money to play with this summer (let’s assume 100-120m before sales) and we mainly need to strengthen our numbers, although a true injection of quality in some areas wouldn’t go amiss. i therefore personally would prefer us to spend on unproven young players with a high ceiling rather than spend double on proven non-top players with PL experience. Ger Bayayoko instead of Elanga and spend the remaining 30m on midfield cover for example. Likewise I spent much of last summer advocating picking up Huijsen for the reported 15m over chasing Guehi for over four times the money. Most of our first team players are perfectly dependable and we can afford to “gamble” on Lewis Hall like project players who will see us with top players in their mid 20’s or saleable assets in a fee years time, instead of players in their late twenties that we need to be looking to replace sooner or later. We need to bring the average age of the squad down and we need to pad the squad out in multiple positions, so going for “proven expensive” might be a gamble in itself as it might leave us short in numbers still.
