One of the big things the ‘bring him back’ crowd are overlooking is the risk he does something awful again. The tape showed what kind of person he is and these are rarely isolated incidents. It would be mad to stake the club’s reputation on someone so likely to cause another major incident.

Always liked Ralf, even if he was badly out of his depth in his short stint at United.

Yep, this is basically what I expect too.

Yep, and Welbeck would have been perfectly serviceable as a backup striker rather than all the random stop-gaps we signed up front.

Exactly. These are just not the kinds of players that are going to make the difference.

Oh yeah, I agree, which is why I don’t think we should buy him. Better not to overpay for potential. Hopefully we’ve learned our lesson.

This one is entirely price dependent for me. Could he turn into a top quality centre back? Yes. How likely is it? Hmm, maybe a 30-40% chance? If a top CB is worth £100m, then I wouldn't go above £30-40m.

This would be another clear waste of money. Avoid.

:lol:

The things is, Bruno is never injured. That's a lot of minutes to replace, if we sold him. Realistically, it would need two signings to replace Bruno in the squad.

We were clearly happy moving Dalot to LB but then the Wan-Bissaka injury screwed us.

Big decision to make. I'd lean towards selling if there's a strong offer (£80m?), but don't mind him staying if the club are convinced he's going to knuckle down.

We should still be looking to move him on as he’s not up to scratch. But I’ve been impressed with how he’s turned it around for himself.

I reckon Bryan Robson or Mark Hughes would give a decent performance in any position.

Sabitzer is a MUCH better player.
