If he’s looking out of his depth against Andorra there’s a problem

I’ve some sympathy for BDB as it’s the complete opposite to how we play football. Slow, ponderous, possession based football against a minnow playing the lowest low block. Reminded me of the Carabao game vs. Wimbledon last night with a similar outcome. No one in an England shirt looked good, apart from Madueke. It was screaming out for a MGW instead of a Henderson to get at their defence and cause some chaos.

Sorry to say this, but Dan Burn looks completely out of place in international football. I don't understand why Tuchel is picking him.

This place is obviously massively high on him but that price I don't get it at all. They want rid of him and he wants out, why the insane premium?

Christ, can you imagine if that happened today with social media? I thought the couple of hundred wallies on the steps outside SJP was bad enough

Its time for Real Madrid. Home or away, who cares.

Kulu had been playing more as a number 10, through the middle. Brennan plays down the left too, and is likely to switch over to that side, as Frank usually prefers to have bot wingers cutting inside. And so there's room for Mbeumo on the right.

Pedro would be a great signing provided he can sort out his silly disciplinary issues.

If we sell them, we'll buy new ones. I doubt most of the board were aware of Bruno, had seen much of Isak, or had spent much time thinking about Tonali before we signed them. I've complete faith in our recruitment capabilities.

Spurs already have a fine right sided player in Kulu. Johnson plays there too. They need a left sided player to replace Son. Mbeumo to Spurs, Kulu to NUFC, with Harvey Barnes as makeweight would be ideal (thinking of PSR) however.

Would they pay him 250k a week? Or did they just say that because they know man u pay over the odds?

The thing is with selling willock or Barnes. Clubs want to buy our good players, you can't just sell an underperforming player because we want him out of squad (more willock) Even Keegan sold Andy Cole to a rival to allow us to take the next step

this is bang on.

I'd be gutted if we did sell Barnes and not Willock. Not sure we'd get much for the latter but he's the type we should be shifting instead of Barnes.

It’s probably more that we don’t want to sell our best players.

Plus it would be hilarious to see certain Man U fans look like mugs when they've boasted about their pull in getting Mbeumo

So who do they sign to stay up????

All of our players are available for purchase - it’s all a question of other clubs being able to afford them. The Sky Six have always traded players amongst themselves - our income is dwarfed by theirs, so if they come in with the right money then the player is off. I think Man City - if they’re interested enough - will pay what it takes. If we get close to double what we paid, the lad is off (the £100m valuations on here notwithstanding, obviously). The lad looks much better at LB than he does at RB, but he’s not our best LB. I couldn’t give much of a shite as long as all of the money (more importantly headroom) is available for Howe to spend - which it will be. And if the lad goes, it’s the manager’s call. I’ve no idea where this idea that we don’t sell our players comes from - every club sells their players. If we are actually going to get to where the ownership claimed, there is a real chance that none of the current squad are there when we do.

They’ve not made any secret of saying that they’d be needing to trade and sell players to keep building.

We don’t need to sell, but we won’t exactly have a bumper budget if we don’t.

Selling Tino to City would be completely nuts

Blows my mind that folk are obsessing over the flexibility of forward players and in next sentence think losing the most flexible defender we have is okay. I would struggle to argue selling Tino, only Isak and Tonali would be higher up the unsellables for me

I thought Howe wanted to keep this team together. Are we just a selling club again bad move selling Livramento to one of our rivals,
