Murphy will be in the 25 for sure

Same @HaydnNUFC. Thought he’d come good with a better manager in place. They must think Manquillo can cover left back and right back if needed

I’d rather we just signed Lingard on loan

Yeah I love the guy already

We should be mint at defensive set plays now

Annoyed that we didn’t act on Zakaria earlier on in the window

If he is here just to replace Clark, then it’s £13m well spent

Sounds like we need another Brazilian in Raphinha….

He wouldn’t post the photoshop kit image if not truly sure about it, but let’s wait for officially confirmation

I win the league on FM with Raphina and ASM alongside Belotti upfront. Think it works just as well with Wilson in the middle of them

Just a slight upgrade then

Just throw £50m at them tomorrow and see what happens - this guy would transform us

Definitely should be after Origi now if not the summer

This signing is so exciting - the guy looks world class and ready to slot into the league easily. Let’s get this done!

The thing that annoys me is that just signing Lingard doesn’t mean we survive. It will be a hard fought team effort that the guy can contribute too. The audacity to try and get some cash for a team effort is just silly and there’s no way that we would do that. Maybe give the player a bonus, but no way do we give a club that

Pretty farcical that Man Utd would stand in his way when they have no intention of playing him - they are just trying to screw us and the reports seem to suggest that Lingard knows that’s what’s happening

Yeah I’d have him playing from the right side in the 4-3-3 system

I think it’s doing the rounds that he’s going to Barcelona - wish we could be in for him as he’d be an ideal signing for us alongside Bruno

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/jan/26/jesse-lingard-dismayed-newcastle-loan-on-verge-of-collapse-over-15m-terms-manchester-united ‘United are demanding a £2.5m loan fee, full coverage of the player’s wages and a £12m bonus if the Saudi Arabian-owned club avoid relegation from the Premier League’. What a fucking mess that is

There hasn’t been anything confirmed other than Lyon officially saying there’s no agreement

I always think at the start of the season that we just need to get 8/9 wins and we will be safe with some draws. I’m thinking we will still need to get close to winning that number of games and we should be fine

This is definitely one for the summer - let’s hope we can keep our league position and come back in for him then

Yep, the Everton game is another huge one and I would be a lot more confident if we have 2 or 3 solid players coming through the door to start that game. Especially when we can get a week of work on the training ground to integrate whoever comes in

I only see this as being accurate if we think that Botman and Carlos will be cheaper in the summer

I really like the idea of a review system that managers can use during the game. Essentially get three people in a box to review the decision a manager disagrees with based on some sort of criteria and the consensus wins out. Keep the video for offsides only and red card tackles - job done
