This would make a lot of sense given the history with Ashworth, just not sure what role it would be.

Let's not call him that.

Pretty harsh thing to say about a lad who a) isn't fat in the slightest, b) endured what must have been a very tough period out with injury and c) was regularly maligned by our previous manager. These are human beings we're talking about.

I was there last night and it was obvious who the ones close to the first team were. Chong definitely impressed - he has a swagger and confidence about him which is nice to see. But as other posters have pointed out, in the first team he can still look very raw. I think a loan would be good for...

I am, first and foremost, a Lincoln City fan as that's where I'm from and it's the team my entire family support. But I grew up supporting United and Lincoln pretty much equally. I started supporting United when I was five, because my best friend told me about them and, at that time, I thought...

I think Messi is getting mentioned a lot because of the way many of us consume football nowadays. I personally don't have the time to watch loads of European games, but will check out YouTube highlights of Barca and Real's games, which leads to the impression that Messi scores a lot of freekicks...

I think Stephan Lichtsteiner deserves a mention, seems a right wum and never too far away from any aggro.

Absolutely, this is our own player we're talking about, who, for whatever reason, hasn't been able to hit the heights he reached at other clubs. He deserves some common courtesy that some on here are not affording him.

Just got a BBC update on my phone which started, 'Manchester United...' and I nearly had a heart attack. But it was about bloody Giggs getting the Wales job.

I'm pretty sure he'd be able to take a full time coaching job in the UK and still carry out this role, if it really is just a couple of trips per year.

I don't think it's a case of a stepping stone but more of a sideways move. Even top managers don't stick around for more than 3-4 years these days due to short term nature of football so I don't think it's unrealistic to envisage a scenario where he'd go to Bayern, do well for a bit and then be...

Surprised no-one's at least mentioned Nagelsmann. Done a great job at Hoffenheim and will probably get the Bayern job at the end of this season if he keeps going in the right direction. Assuming he does a good job at Bayern he could well be in the frame by the time Mou goes and would only be...

True, a surprising stat. Level on goals but Barkley way ahead on assists. Still don't think that tells the whole story, Mata's use of the ball much better for me. In any case, to argue Barkley is better than Mata just seems a bit silly to me. The same? Maybe. But not better.

He hasn't played for Everton this season yet so talk of his transfer all seems a bit premature. Also really don't know why Mata is getting such a tough ride on here, he's consistently scored important goals and his link play with other teammates is excellent. He might not be a top, top tier...
