when does Ake look shaky?

That’s why I asked I guess. How many players in world football are invaluable?

Completely not realistic but how much do you think we’d have to offer Chelsea for Kante (ignoring the fact he wouldn’t come)? Just wonder what his value is?

There are already meltdowns on here aren’t there @Zero

Lovely to see my teams (Newcastle and Scunthorpe) in the bottom 4. Proper glory supporter me.

Lovely rugby tackle that

nope

man united barely pressing when Burnley have the ball. It’s like a pre-season match

Are we linked with Jens Cajuste again? More an Ashley signing isn't he?

You probably need to quote the original post given the thread title

Brentford tried to postpone last night's game stating they had 9 players missing. After it got rejected they somehow managed to field the same team as the previous match other than 3 changes. One of the "9" they listed as injured was suspended anyway. We're best to leave it as late as possible before putting any requests in.

Leicester probably.

Man United were definitely linked. He should have been a really good signing, and has still scored a lot of goals for them. Just really badly managed. It's like with Sancho - they were crying out for someone on the right and then barely played him.

How was it out of nowhere? Arsenal, Spurs and Man United were all linked with him for ages before they signed him. He'd just been called up to the French squad too.

Dybala's out of contract. Just sayin'

I think we'll see the stand-out transfers in summer. January will be very sensible imo, especially as Howe is the one with the requirements.

It's not the right comparison though. Hayden can't retain the ball, he can't pick a pass etc. He might be able to break play up but that's about it (and he's not even that good at that). He'd probably be ok at somewhere like Norwich or West Brom I guess.

For the record, if we signed Sancho and Martial I'd be absolutely over the moon

Martial was a 20 year old and one of the hottest prospects in world football. He's almost got a 1 in 3 goal scoring record for Man United hasn't he? Sanchez and Di Maria I'll give you, no idea why it didn't work out for them really.

I wouldn't have either, I want them both replaced asap. However if we're stuck with the current squad there's no way on earth any manager plays Hayden over Shelvey, especially Howe.

Specifically which ones at Man United are you talking about? (Harry M aside)

I mean he clearly isn't, and I'm no fan of Shelvey at all.

I'm not slagging him off am I?

I don't think it's particularly anger is it? We're just tired of seeing bang average players in our team, we've had years of it now. I think they majority of us know it's not their fault, but saying we don't want a player in the team (Clark, Hayden, Ritchie etc) isn't anything to do with hate, surely?

Nah, there's no chance Hayden fits into our team when we can actually start buying players. He's probably our 5th best midfielder now, let alone when we actually sign good ones.
