No, then he would be blocking Greenwood’s way back into the team.
Marc Cucurella - World Class Hairdo

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Chelsea were a bit of a mess last season too. So hoping that played a role in the situation with him.
Time to dust off my Fellaini wig
Bringing Cucurella as last minute loan cover is great business, and like usual Caf somehow managed to be negative about it anyway, amazing!

Debatable if he ends up closer to the 7 goal mark though.
Agreed. If the window ends with some loans and small fees for squad players that upgrade the team as a whole, it could be a good window.
People on here don’t really know football so it’s unsurprising.
Would be nice to have an option to buy on the off chance he ends up in some sort of form. Can't see Chelsea doing that as he's still worth a lot ffp wise?
They sure was. It definitely plays a part.
But, unfortunately we are not exactly a well drilled unit either.
Fortunately this loan seems somewhat cheap so not the end of the world.
No, it’s not that simple at all. You may not remember, but Van Gaal croticized the club heavily for forcing him into the circumstances of having to play players who were not ready for what was expected of them.He didn’t even himself prefer that way of doing things. Understandably, as we didn’t notch up many points that way either, even at a time when the PL was much less competitive than it is today.
You may not mind if we fall behind City by 20 points again or lose out on CL again - I’m not so terrified of it myself tbh - but if you expect Ten Hag, the fans, the owners etc to accept that, you are not being very realistic.
PS. Forget that about the owners … but the media will make a festival out of it
Aye. You only have to look at the dozens of successful signings we've made in the last 10 years to see all the nay sayers knew nothing
Same question. ETH must be the finest con man of this era.
i've been away all day, have we signed him on loan?
You would hope people who don’t really know football were more humble before people who do, though?
Heck, what am I saying?
I don’t really know what people expect? Who are all the better options for an LB with two days left in the window for an emergency cover style signing? This is a great option. End of story.
Life is too short to be humble.
This is giving major Andrew Tate vibes.
Right? The way I see it, we got lucky Shaw's injury happened while the transfer window was still open and we can do something about it.
Just hope it's a loan worth an option to buy. This way, if he's good then we can keep him and sell Malacia.
Yeap I’m quite amazed by the negative reactions on here!
Did Ole record back to back midtable finishes or something?
I really liked him at Brighton. Great business to me. If he will go back to that form Shaw won’t be back on LB very soon.
No. He was really, really good and there was no point in sacking him.
Am I doing this right?
He's either a con and we have a brilliant team who was 3rd last year or its something else.
No, there is something in between.
Yes, in the sense of ETH doing something, anything right.
The club is moving quickly to address an unforeseen LB crisis and is also looking at a CM option on top of 3 players already brought in yet people will still complain and call it all a failure.
It ultimately isn’t a great window still. We needed attacking depth and we’ve added nothing really, and the Mount thing is just a joke.
I want to see him rocking the '05 Rio cornrows.
Mount has played 2 games and Hojlund is yet to even play. The joke is not Mount, it’s this ridiculous view that it’s all a failure already.
No. Answering my question would be doing it right.
Yet we’re already so much better than Ole who finished in the top 3 twice. You have checkmated yourself with this comparison and logic.
It’s not a smart use of funds, that is pretty much fact. When you are working with limited money which we obviously are then it just wasn’t worth it and a smarter club with a better DoF wouldn’t go near.
People have watched Mount for years, we don't have to wait another 2 seasons before we can judge him, we know exactly who and what he is as a player.
Yes, and he is a player that was voted player of the year two years in a row, so judging him as a joke based on just one year after where he was injured half of it is joke in itself.
But this is going off topic now.
Exactly, he’s a great player.
I'm not sure why, the forum has spent a year constantly saying he's absolutely rubbish and he was in nearly everyone's team in the recent "worst big money signings of all time" thread.
The idea that it's a surprise that people aren't that happy with him is a bit odd to me.
I'm sure he will do okay but I wouldn't be shocked to be wrong.
I mean it is all about the context, like I said, this is last minute loan situation, also he was brilliant before Chelsea, it is not as straightforward as some make it out to be. But lots of Caftards don't know how to put context into equation, it is all black and white to them. So I am not surprised.
What context? If he's terrible and causes us to ship a load of goals does him being cover late in the window matter?
Was Weghorst a good signing because he was short term cover?
It really is pretty black and white, if people think he's going to be terrible then they will think he will be a poor signing no matter when he signs. I reckon he will do okay but I don't see how being a bit down on bringing in a player who the whole forum has roundly bashed for a year is surprising.
I mean if you can't see the context, I can't help you there. And no, it is not black and white.
I can see the context, I pretty much explained it in the post you just qouted. I also pointed out why some people may be justified in not particularly caring about it.
All signings are black and white. If they play well and help us as a team they are good, I'd they don't they are bad.
