Re Perez and de Jong At the moment I can't see either starting. Not necessarily on merit/ability, but on probable formation and current squad (however, still think there are comings and goings). I'm assuming a 4,2,3,1, as default formation. I'll skip the '4' bit, as 50% of it still too worrying (fingers crossed Mbemba today). Tiote, Colback and Anita seem like the two starters and sub for the '2'. Gini is after the centre role of the '3' ( like a no. 10) he could play him on the left but given his goal scoring and preferences, I expect him to get a run where he is strongest (de Jong as cover). Sissoko (if still here) will be used on the right; Aarons pips Perez, IMO, and has earned a run in the left role. Mitrovic is the '1' - let's hope that statement proves prophetic! I WBS if Sissoko, Tiote, Cisse, and Colo departed in August. With two clear 'starters' coming in (CB and RW/CF). P.S. It's funny trying to fit everybody in, reminded me how many good players (I think ) we have.

The Mbemba case has led to a massive trust issue Class

I reckon that if we tell him you said that, he''d f**kin' ruin ye... Don't worry; saying nowt ? Think he'd be more offended by your s*** song, tbh.

?On another evening, I could have got five Alex is the name that I go by... ? Come on MitroGOAL, give us a goal.

...not to mention my Colo perm. I've never been able to carry it off. ?

Bounce some coins off Colo's head. He's probably got a couple of quids worth of coins already stuck in that hair I'm just a bit gutted I let him shag wor lass.... ??

Hang in there mate, how bad can it.... Scrub that train of thought! Aarons to Mitrovic = first goal ??

Trawling through the the growing number of pages on this topic, it seems that a sizeable minority of people have a different take on this to the rest of us. In an attempt to rationally, and sensitively address this diversity let me just say: shut the f**k up about the finer design details, or the contracting vagaries of bespoke design, or the criticism as not enough of a certain size. You ( actually make that WE) are coming across like a bunch of Vivienne Westwood-Stan Seymour hybrids (lesser striped variety...). This is a fantastic effort by a committed group of people to reclaim our iconic strip. To help us show our support positively, and show our disapproval of money over morals mentality at the club. WE have the opportunity to do something, not just name-call and moan. If you can afford it, please get one. Let's get as many into the ground and on the streets, as possible. Overwhelm them with orders, give them the funds to make more. Be United.

Bought one for me, one for nephew. Looks quality, and more importantly what a strong message: our club, our heritage, we choose (now we have a choice!) http://themagpiebrand.co.uk

Thanks so much for posting this Joe, it says everything: the kind of player and the kind of person we want. I'm going to feel so relieved when this is resolved.

Wherever you're starting Inter: 'getting higher baby...' 'ain't going to ever comedown'

Grandmaster Flash (White Lines), has something to say: F**K BABY!! Your decision-making panel, are gonna take some time, While the rest of us, have to watch, defending that's a crime. If Chancel doesn't come, we'll aal feel really doon, An' God help you, you faceless twats, if you come t' the toon! So don't do it! FREEZE! ... ROCK!

Anybody found any radio coverage?

Suspect we'll see the fabled 'double six' formation. With Anita and Colback sitting in front of defence no joining with them, or the four attacking roles as needed (hence name, I think, ie defenders, 6 attackers). If so, guess this will be default system for season ( hopefully will some additional 'cogs' to slot in at the back, and potentially right side. Also expect to see Aarons given at least a half replacing Perez).

Reassuring, (ish): hope he didn't call your pint a puff though!

Could be nowt Dave, but: Wijnaldum. Arrives: 10 July, pm; Medical 10 July; signed: 11 July, am ( < 24 hrs). Mitrovic. Arrives: 20 July, eve; Medical 20 July; signed: 21 July (<18 hours). Mbemba. arrives: 23 July, pm; Medical 23 July?; signed: ? (52 hours and counting). (Where are you Chanceellll...[oh no! It's starting again, quick move the coffee table, for feck sake draw the blinds !!])

New Song, purely to help ease my troubled mind. You'll have to picture me gyrating awkwardly on the spot: like singer above, in Mbemba video, crossed with Betty Boo--whose 'Where are you Baby tune' I'm channeling. I know, probably not a pretty sight, but then not a pretty state of mind. We need Mbemba!! Here goes... Where are you Chancel? We could have had so much fun, It's driving me crazy, Come back and tell me if it's on. Where are you Chancel, We all think that you're the one, Can't cope with Willo, I convinced myself he'd gone!

Does it matter that DR Congo aren't ranked in top 50? That's the only technical difference I can think of between between him and Mitrovic. Unless, relevant bureaucrats only work Mon-Fri, and we're worrying over nothing.

Class, but surreal! Makes Ian Curtis look rhym...Rim....Riith... (Ahem), like he can dance...

Thank you verrrry much, Memphis...

If there is doubt (ahem) about his age, I mean medically, not a deal breaker, but wouldn't surprise me if club tried to re-negotiate (less buy them young, sell them on potential)
