With second place all but confirmed i'd rather Dean was our cup GK for the remainder of the season. Much more solid than DDG.

Based on his ability and performances you would say he is worth around 60m. If you consider the intangibles such as leadership, his character and the fact he'd probably be here for the rest of his career you would definitely pay the 80m.

Agreed with Neville's comments about being a Maguire injury away from switching to a back 5 which was an interesting perspective in terms of how that affects squad selection. However I do think that due to the versatility of some of our defensive players we can afford to 'pinch' a player from...

His movement in the build up to our goal was elite. He made 3 or 4 separate runs in the space of 10 seconds to create the space and would've probably scored the goal if greenwood didn't get there before him

Watched the game in real time and whilst he is tidy on the ball I would like him to be more aggressive in all parts of the game. He never really got stuck in or played any direct passes between the lines to make things happen. Overall good game but needs to try to be less passive.

Apart from AWB putting a couple of crosses in how exactly has he improved them?

Completely agree. I don't understand how Ole can expect the club to spend another £100m+ on a single player when he hasn't even shown his ability to improve our signings from last summer yet. I'm definitely not a supporter of Woodward/Glazers but I have no sympathy for Ole if his solution is...

I'm very happy with this signing, looks an absolute baller

Definitely think this would be our best formation if we want to utilise our squad and get the best out of our players. Would also give us a better structure to build from as we have been leaking goals like a sieve. The only potential issue would be dropping £50m AWB and replacing him with...

His performances will be under a lot more scrutiny this season as his attacking output will be expected to improve. Personally don't think he has the technical ability to nail down the RB spot for the long term. Hopefully Laird or Williams can overtake him in the next season or two as I can't...

I remember watching an England training clip before the WC 2018 and even from that 10 minute clip it was evident that Pope & Butland were both much better GK's than him. Two years later and this clown is still Englands number one.

I would be happy if we signed Sarr. I saw quite a bit of him last season and he's much better than some people are suggesting. In terms of playing style Sarr is more in the mould of a traditional winger like James as he often likes to beat his man on the outside and cross the ball. However...

I heard this from somewhere too. Perhaps it could mean that Phelan is thinking of leaving?

Wouldn't read too much into his performances over the last few weeks. He's exhausted and has been playing through injury. Obviously we still need a centre back to play alongside him but I just hope he gets the rest he needs to recover in time for the new season.

Agree. I like him but he will never be good enough to be a starter. If we cant rely on him to deliver in a squad role then there's literally no point in keeping him at the club.
