Sassy Colin
Death or the gladioli!
At pure defending, Lindleof is the better defender, as is Smalling.Yes i rate Harry. Costs large sums of money but he's the best of our bad bunch

Smalling made our position weak by making Roma as only option. Roma actually bid less than what we rejected last time.So Smallling went on loan, played really well, the loan club want to buy him, he wants to go to that club...and we still can’t get rid of him.
There’s genuinely no hope of us getting rid of Jones, Rojo, Andreas etc.
This guys knows nothing. We might be, but he’s a cockwombleTweet

Well done colin that was posted yesterday
Getting rid of Smalling isn't a priority when you consider that he's the best player amongst our 'deadwood' and a better pure defender than Maguire and Lindelof anyway. Roma need to increase their bid.So Smallling went on loan, played really well, the loan club want to buy him, he wants to go to that club...and we still can’t get rid of him.

I think if he stays he'll end up being a starter within a couple of months.
Agreed!Good and bin Lindelof off at the same time. Have had enough of that swedish fraud
One of them will get hurt for a couple of weeks and Smalling will come in and not lose his place. That's my prediction if he ends up staying.He won't unless there are long term injuries to either Lindelof or Maguire and even then it might not be the case.
I’d argue his value is only going to decrease. 31 in two months time and less than two years on his contract.Getting rid of Smalling isn't a priority when you consider that he's the best player amongst our 'deadwood' and a better pure defender than Maguire and Lindelof anyway.

Solskjaer simply doesn't rate Smalling he went on loan because he wasn't even first choice back up and I don't see that changing this season either.One of them will get hurt for a couple of weeks and Smalling will come in and not lose his place. That's my prediction if he ends up staying.
I swear I feel this as well. Place just feels like a messy living room with books bursting off the shelves, too many cushions on the couch and no flowers in the vaseWhy dont we send jones and rojo out on loan? They're just here making the place look untidy.
He might have changed his mind after a full season (for him as manager) where Jones/Bailly were unsurprisingly unreliable as back ups. Combine that with Smalling's solid season in Italy and the idea of having him as first choice back-up rather than selling him for €13m makes plenty of sense.Solskjaer simply doesn't rate Smalling he went on loan because he wasn't even first choice back up and I don't see that changing this season either.
As crap as he is on the ball he's a better and more reliable defender than Jones and Rojo, but it's obvious Ole didn't want him and he was happy to move on so keeping him because we are demanding more than he's wort is crazy. It's funny how covid is an excuse for us not buying but we expect Roma to have funds and not be hindered by covidTweet

Come on, the reported 13m euros is a bit of a joke.As crap as he is on the ball he's a better and more reliable defender than Jones and Rojo, but it's obvious Ole didn't want him and he was happy to move on so keeping him because we are demanding more than he's wort is crazy.

The whole team is built on playing out from the back. Smalling is absolutely atrocious on the ball. Genuinely one of the worst Utd centre backs I’ve ever seen with the ball at his feet.Good, keep him and start him beside Maguire. Smalling has always been a good player.
feck selling him to Roma dirt cheap

I don't think there is a strong argument that he is currently deadwood. He's probably technically our best defender in terms of actually defending (pace, heading, tackling) the fear that VAR would kill him and his grabby hands has proved unfounded, and even taking into account his limited ball playing ability he's still probably our 2nd best defender, definitely third at worst. I'd like to see what him and Maguire look like if we're not signing a new CB, he'd definitely allow us to play a higher line and hopefully remove some of our vulnerability to set pieces.Roma are buying someone else now as cant get deal agreed with utd. Its ridiculous. Just sell the deadwood, take whatever price you get. Just get rid of and off the books. City and liverpool did that when Guardiola and Klopp came in. But no we insist on stupid prices no-one will pay.
Duncan Castles said lille wanted Dalot, offered utd a substantial percentage of sell on fee. Utd said no as we wanted the price we paid for him. Lille cant do that. What they can do is make young talent shine and sell them on for a huge profit. In dalot case, the money would have come down the line. Madness.
