Loan would make sense. Man Utd let him gets some minutes, we have a better chance of survival. Big question marks over his injury and fitness though.
-
Hamstring injuries take longer to heal. He went out in mid Dec. Doubtful he will play any games in January.
-
Hoping for at least two more in - a CB and a forward - before the Watford game. Will probably settle for Ritchie in that game since ASM provides an outlet on the left and Trippier on the right. A forward will also mean that we play ASM in his best position. And we don't see Gayle play.
-
Looking forward to more balance and output on the right flank.
-
Who else wants to leave Atletico for a big pay cheque?
-
Manquillo can also play LB where the options are Ritchie and an injuried Lewis. Prefer to keep him and assess/ replace at end of season.
-
Any chance that Watford are going to get reinforcements from Udinese?
-
Don't think the La Liga champions is interested in Manquillo.

Under-21 players are eligible over and above the limit of 25 players per squad. For the 2021/22 campaign Under-21 players will have been born on or after 1 January 2000. https://www.premierleague.com/news/2247219

As long as born 1 Jan 2000 or later for this season, a player will be considered U21. Botman's born 12 Jan 2000.
-
Depends on the players we sign too. If we sign Botman, he is U21 and will not require registration. Him coming in as a left-footed CB would likely mean that Clark (32 yo and past it) will be unregistered or sold. Gillespie is another possibility as we do not need 4 GKs. Gayle the obvious one that we will unregister should we get a forward in. Then it's likely Hendrick next if we get in a CM.

I think I give myself until the Watford game (which is massive) to have an idea.

On Schlotterbeck: “I’m not someone who really aspires to play in England or Spain. I have always wanted to play in the Bundesliga, preferably with the best team," Nico Schlotterbeck said in a recent Kicker interview. Aiming for Bayern.
-
Good to know we have alternatives like Nico Schlotterbeck (similar mould, on verge of national team) in our consideration too.
-
Still think we should go for higher caliber strikers with lack of options and Wilson's injury history.
-
For 60m, we can get two CBs like.
-
PIF have final say on transfers and Saudis and Iranians are arch rivals. I'm sure that there are better forwards out there.
-
If Lille is thinking 60m, they must be crazy. 30m is already a lot for him.
-
Didn't know but he's not a footballer who would get the chance to perform on the biggest stage on TV.
-
I can't see us signing an Iranian.
-
@Unbelievable will be able to tell us how close Botman is to the national squad.
-
Botman's not even capped at senior level. They have far more senior CBs ahead of him. Doubt it will be a major factor.
-
Botman's under 21 too, so won't need to register him in the squad. Meaning we can deregister Clark for a new striker or midfielder.
