Aye, like we are gonna rinse them for a near 34 year old injury prone keeper who'll be going to be 3rd choice. We're getting his stupid 3 year contract extension off the wage bill, nothing more.

Must be 3 otherwise a couple would been made at half time.

Is it 3 subs or 5? If its 5 we should be bringing at least 2 on at half time, get Longstaff and Murphy off they've been utter shit.

Nine players from the Ashley/Bruce era and Wood. What could possibly have gone wrong?

Is Fraser injured?

Well wherever he ends up Watford have got a belting deal for him.

They're not like. Ashley was a cunt but at least he had the common sense not to spunk a fortune on anyone the wrong side of 30 (or 27 for that matter).

£70m plus 300k a week on a 30 year old? Insanity. I actually think the Glazers hate Man U supporters and want them to fail.

£30m is a lot to pay for potential mind.

Mad that it seems we baulked at paying £60m for Maddison but are happy to pay half that for a back up striker with a similar goalscoring record as Chris Wood.

Yes I understand that, even if we had offered £60m for him theres no way they were going to accept £12-15m a year spread over 4/5 years.

If we'd offered the current market value for Maddison (£60m) with the bulk of it up front then I'm sure Leicester would have sold him to us by now. However we tried to low-ball them and they've quite rightly told us to fuck off.

Have we ever had a keeper score for or against us? Cannot recall it ever happening in my lifetime.

Damn you all, damn you all to hell!

The ironic thing about the league cup is about ten years ago the lesser teams had a chance to win it as the top six usually played reserve teams. The problem nowdays is Man Citys second XI can beat everyones first XI bar Liverpool.

Fuck off with that number 6 shit, he's a number 4!

I saw him the two SJP friendlies, fair play to him he looked good but they're a million miles away from proper competitve games.

I agree, but why do so many want to throw him in at the deep end this season? If its sink of swim he's more likely to do the former. Harry Kane was loaned out to a few clubs before he broke into the Spurs team aged 21.

A lot of people are spunking their pants over Anderson, just as they were for Shortstaff a few years back, yet he struggled to get a game for Mansfield last season. I really hope he comes good but this season is too soon for him, unless hes playing in the LC or the odd 10 mins of games we have obviously already won or lost. Far better to pack him off to a Championship side even if only till January to see if he can up his game towards this level.

No, no, no, no , NO!

WTF is this "lone 6" shit? For me a DM wears no 4. 6 is for a CB.

8th assuming we are done with signings and (big if) we get 30 games out of Wilson.

My sirname was Steptoe in a previous life.

This is going to be one of those games where the home team dominates and gets beat 0-1.

8th-10th. Its a shame we didn't land Maddison and a decent striker as we could have pushed for europe.
