Make a lot of noise, see if he hands in a transfer request move on. Barring serious injury his value is not going down anytime soon so no sense to sell. I am sure we will for over £100m and we will sign 3 Brunos to replace him, but if we sell now would be a dreadful message but I doubt we would

I've been on tour of the Riverside (I was taking a group of kids as part of job) and their away dressing room is in an awkward shape and with a completely structurally unnecessary pillar through it to make sightlines really awkward for a manager trying to talk to all the players

It really baffles me that people think you support an owner when you support a club. Fans of this club should know Sir Bobby's definition of a club and that holds true still. I remain conflicted over where the money is coming from but that is true of a lot of things and I am living with it.

She is famously a nightmare to deal with. She had a massive falling out with Mbappe's family after he missed a pen and she had a go at Mbappe's parents for it and thats why chucked out of PSG. She was apparently demanding huge wages above Fernandes for example and while he is clearly a talented footballer nor is he a once in a generation talent or somesuch, there are plenty of similarly skilled midfielders out there.

We don't have the bulk of £60m up front to spend due to ffp that's why we are offering low starting bids and spreading costs

In fact I suspect that Rodgers has been told he has to sell to buy, he also knows owner is losing patience with him and he is likely to get the sack regardless in next few months as senses the squad isn't improving and so thought best for his own reputation if he makes a deal in public over no signings, refuse to sell anyone, and then walk at end of transfer window. He looks like he's walked away from a club that failed to match his ambition rather than sacked for not living up to it.

He has made a few veiled we need to sign someone public pleas and nothing but rumours of people going out. I would be worried were I a leceister fan if the money taps are being closed up. They invested so heavily in academy i can't see the owners buggering off but maybe they're planning to? On the other hand Rodgers may have been told need to sell to buy at start of season and then he has refused to sell anyone. Were I their owner I would be running out of patience with Rodgers regardless by now.

Oh my god hahahahahahaha

Plenty decent short defenders and rubbish tall ones tbh. Thats just bad

It's poor yes men internally and just bad signing after bad signing after bad signing. No coherence, muddled thinking nad the squad is getting worse year on year

hahahahahahahahahaha

Sub De Gea off

hahahahaha

What is going on with that Man United kit is it meant to be high viz for safety reasons?

I hope so too but that is oh if everything goes well and that is fine, I am more critical with someone getting furious at the board for one poor performance that resulted in a decent away point

Seen someone on athletic full of rage saying club needs to spend to avoid midtable mediocrity as if just being safe midtable isn't the goal anyway lol. I agree we need a little more but raging as if the board are expecting us to be competing for top 4 already

I'm sure he'll get back to his best

Decent result doesn't sound like we particularly good. Our home form seems to still be good but sounds like away less so. Maybe a reality check for some who think we are going to repeat the mad form of last season but disappointed that the brazillians have been poor. Better teams will be bullied in midfield by brighton though.

I mean either the premier league care about PIF being dodgy or not, I would love to see them suddenly be shocked and appalled to discover gambling going on in this casino PIF are involved in some dodgy shit

Does he have an agent that demands ludicrous fees and that's putting people off?

I think we want to immediately improve first team squad first and foremost which means players with some experience who aren't prospects too far down the line or possibly unsuitable for the league. I imagine once we are largely happy with the first team squad we will add depth to it with more Ashworth style signings who will develop and grow into first team positions rather than needing to work right now.

Cabaye was very good mind just not for a great length of time by the time he left he was already declining in mobility and by the time he ended up at Crystal palace he was just a slow defensive mid who liked to do wild tackles. Not Bruno's caliber of course but he was very good

What a shame for him considering he made a point of trying to come into the season as fit as he ever has been. I don't think he will be too badly missed tbh and howe will keep him involved

I definitely want a more defensively minded player to sit there and one who can play keep ball ad infinitum but not neccessarily for first choice strongest teams, more as an option when we need to calm games down and keep hold of the ball and allow Bruno to play further forward. This is a luxury however and clearly not worth spending funds on this imminently

I mean I completely get him being behind Casemiro and Fabinho but Fred being more of a footballer than him is a wild take, and I think Fred sometimes get unfairly scapegoated...
