TRon Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 8 minutes ago, Super Duper Branko Strupar said: Matic is still there and desnt play. And yep is old and was good in his prime. But he's better than what we've got in that position by a mile even though he's past his best, he'd be better than no one, and I think we're desperate for some quality and experience in that role. Might be shite in comparison to new, ambitious purchases, but if we're struggling to get those in at present, Im not averse to some decent squad additions to help us stay up. Again these are wild, gamble stop gap ideas. But Matic in front of our back 4 would improve us. As grim as that sounds. Fair enough. Wouldn't be my choice personally but I can't argue with it, he is better than what we've got. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I mean why would they loan him out when it's their final opportunity to get a few quid? Then the permanence of the move might put the player off, especially seeing as he'll have preferable offers than a team destined for relegation. That's why I don't blame Van de Beek either; his career is at risk of going down the pan - certainly in this country; why would he join a basket case in order to rejuvenate himself when he could go somewhere better functioning? Re Lingard, it's the sort of signing you can only see happening at the very end of the window - whether it's a loan or a purchase. Dunno, can't see it. Kinda wish we'd dip into the Championship for another attacking player tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is playing in Man U reserves going to be better for his international career than getting first team football here? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course not but I'm sure his options aren't limited to: ManU's reserves or Newcastle United. If that's the case on January 31st then obviously it's a more appealing switch, but not at the moment.

I think anyone who would insist on that wouldn't be worth it in the first place and Howe had said as much. The problem is, at the moment, Howe's search filters are currently: . Ability: First team ready . Plays for: team above NUFC . Max Wage: £whatever-shelvey's-on . Max Fee: £less-than-a-pisstake Feel like at least one of those needs to be relaxed cos Trippier might have been the only name the system generated.

They surely had to know Man United’s preference on the deal, why even bother if you know that they want a permanent deal. It is interesting. Perhaps they thought a decent loan fee close to the asking price might tempt them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
