That isn't a dig btw, most didn't.

you also didn't rate Gordon tbf.

First week in jan and first week in feb according to google , which seems weird.

I like the look of him.

Misses the first leg of the semi doesn’t he?

We'll get about £2m for him imo. Max. He needs to go though, so it'll be a good move if it happens.

There’s an article kicking about saying deal agreed with Al Shabab.

There's not a chance that two of the three go, so you're set to be annoyed.

No, I don’t think it is. i reckon if the price is right though, we’ll sell.

He’s one of 3 that Man City want in Jan according to tomorrows Times.

The fact we’re back to Dubravka is so poor from a planning and recruitment perspective. ‘Not fit for purpose’ indeed.

Awful

Just came on here to see about this. Hopefully the texts flying around are not true. We've got big issues if he's injured.

Can't see that.

Why on earth would Southampton ever do that deal?

They’re not that Man Utd anymore though. Players go down when they sign for them and can reignite/improve when they leave. Mctominay, Henderson, Elanga, Sancho etc. The polar opposite of what they used to be, basically. Antony is 24, get him firing again and in the Brazil squad and there’s value in that deal. I’m arguing against myself here though as every time I’ve seen him he’s been very poor, but at £20m even he seems cheap.

I’m going to mark that down as a ‘no’. If I’ve got that wrong give me a shout.

Don’t think I would either, he’s very one footed from what I’ve seen but I just wondered if anyone who knew a bit more about him than me thought there could be value there.

Antony apparently available for £20m. would you?

there is 0 chance of this happening. Rogers has major issues working with a sporting director, not a chance Mitchell puts himself in that position again.

This slump is on Howe. It’s impossible to say otherwise. As I’ve said a few times, I love him, he’s been absolutely fantastic for us but this season so far is largely a shit show and that’s on him, there’s nowhere else for the buck to stop. I’d love to see him fix it, I genuinely would , but I don’t think he will. I actually hope we move him on sooner rather than later to protect his reputation (which has undoubtedly risen massively since he took our job), as I think this will get worse. Performing against the Liverpool’s and Arsenal’s and not against the likes of West Ham &, Fulham & Wolves (yes I know we won there, but it was poor) is an alarming sign from a coaching/management perspective. its not so much the squad that’s gone stale (yes we need a rw and a centre half), it’s the coaching style and approach imo.

Agree with every word. Exactly where I’m at. Gutted for him, I love the bloke but this is on him.

Really hope so.

Yep. It isn’t the first. Good to see him back involved, as much as I think we should have sold him last Jan, we’re stronger for having Trippier around at the moment.

Very true.
