Agree, don't understand why people wouldn't want him. I'm guessing wages would be a problem for anyone coming from City and it seems unlikely in general, but I think he'd be great.

 

Questions over fitness as well maybe? Don't know how his availability has been for City since I don't watch them regularly, but he missed a lot of games for Leeds in the Premier.

we already have a better version of McTominay in Longstaff. We should be looking at an upgrade for Longstaff so that he can be a squad player. I can’t think of a single reason to sign McTominay at all, but then I couldn’t for Gordon either.

Until Newcastle become one of the biggest clubs in the world, they're not going to be associated with the word United over Manchester United.

 

Leeds United are known as Leeds. Sheffield are known as Sheffield. West Ham United are West Ham. It is what it is.

 

You've made some good posts, but they are going to land better if you just accept people grimace at referring to them as "United" here. When in Rome and all that.

Sheffield are known as Sheffield ? Really ?

Which clubs united to become Manchester United?

 

I live in London and I rarely hear people refer to Man Utd and simply 'United'.  The only guy I know who refers to them as 'United' is a Man Utd fan from Manchester so I'll give him a break.

It's mainly in the media and Man utd fans themselves and kids who've been fed it on sky. I don't think I know of anyone who was around before the Premier league who calls them that.

None.

 

Something to do with them originally representing a small area of Manchester, then deciding they actually represent the whole of Manchester. United...

I don't want McTominay, but the version of Longstaff you're talking about is the Longstaff Eddie Howe has moulded. The comparison will only work if EH works with McTominay - at the end of 18 months of the same coaching we'd be able to make a meaningful comparison.

Longstaff was this good under Benitez as well. He's always had this level in him. McTominay has not.

Because we all know more then Eddie on what and who he needs for his squad? 

 

We are going to need someone like mctominay who will buy into being rotation players of a bigger squad.

 

Not everyone will be a purple

 

He'll have a purple price tag. That's the issue.

They were formed by workers of railway depot of Newton Heath it was only after a winding up order they basically reformed as Manchester United.

It feels like we have tons of chances with shots inside and around the penalty area which we rarely put away. Having someone there like Dominik could prove to be very effective.
