Press conference, Friday 3pm? That’s an old forum joke btw

Having Pedro would open up quite a few tactical options as well as allowing us to rotate. He could work in our existing 433, gives us the opportunity to play 4231 or go two up top. I can see why he’s such an attractive signing. He solves a lot of potential problems.

Trafford in Ibiza and Pedro in Brazil so doubt it.

And then you consider Trafford baiting presses and then hitting an accurate pass up field.. beautiful

Gotta love how these threads have gone from ‘worrying’ to mass excitement in the last 24 hours

Him leaving to get game time isn't what was weird and I think everyone knows that like.

Aye, I have a feeling it’s a Ornstein agreement reached/Fab here we go kinda day.

FWIW I wouldn’t make that first criticism, if a player has a contract they can do what they want. I don’t even think Dubs ‘shouldn’t’ done what he did, it’s up to him. But I don’t have to like him. TBF if it wasn’t Man U I probably would have reacted much. And because he moved to sit on someone else’s bench and have even less chance of starting games. But I never expected him to play for us again. If he’d gone somewhere to play it would’ve been different.

I love takes like this. Whenever there is a player who fans want to get rid of who is hanging around (e.g. Sancho or Ryan Fraser in our case), he is castigated for not wanting to play football and only thinking about the money. Whenever it would be better for us to stay as backup but the player wants to leave so he can play first team football (e.g. Dubs), the player is castigated for not wanting to stay and fight for his place

Thought van Nistelrooy had been peddled weeks ago

That is all very well but that is not the way to share minutes around the squad to prevent fatigue and injury

Reckon a medical will be mentioned by the COB today, either Pedro or Trafford.

The finger thing means the Saudi tax

I can see 3 centre halves being used more as well (think away at Arsenal in the league).

Asks absolutely shite questions during press conferences, too.

Nah, the people still talking about it now should tbh. Football is all about petty grievances around tribal lines. If a player ruffles feathers then fans should care rather than not. Down with this 'I don't care about anything because I'm just a chilled out dude' craic that comes predominantly from across the Atlantic and in reality just ends up with nothing being sacred and everything being sanitised and boring. Give me Dubravka's head.

Wonderful gif.

If we had Sandro optimised from the start it’s a 75+ point season for us. Our problem is that lack of depth. Id be happy with those transfers + a CM Howe would play ahead of changing formations due to unavailability of 2 players.

Can't be, Baldwards said Mbeumo and Guehi were top if the list

I'd blow my load.

Why wouldn't we get both?

What the fuck does this have to do with other clubs' transfers? Every thread gets polluted with waffle.
