Are you sure about that?
Callum Gribbin

I never really know how close our social media guys are to club business, but it seems odd that they are pushing stuff out to fans hyping Gribbin up if he's a dead cert to leave?
Does seem slightly odd, but they had a Facebook post dedicated to Falcao's international break with Columbia, so a mention on social media doesn't necessarily mean much, I suppose.
But the reason you don't see them all making dribbles like that every game is because there's a big difference between being able to do a trick and being able to pull off a string of them off the cuff while surrounded by opponents in the middle of a real game and then actually follow through with the pass at the end of it. Purely in terms of how rarely we see it, what he did there was definitely 'special'.
Yes, I watch a lot of academy games throughout a lot of age groups and I see this and better, week in, week out.
The higher the level you play, the harder to pull those tricks in games though.Agree that it's not that special.

He just urged his followers on Twitter to follow Angel Gomes, and said he was looking forward to playing with him next season.
Good!
Promising kid - be a shame to lose him.

Disappointed when I found out this kid wasnt Irish
He has gone private and based on the fact he seems like a right penile, I don't want to follow him
Angel Gomes going to Liverpool? 
Great this means he'll stay and Angel Gomes will play in the u18's next season.
Callum Dribblin'
So..is he staying?
He's closely on his way to another football team called Manchester United U21s.
Knowledge or an educated guess?
Bit of both, plus trend analysis.Knowledge or an educated guess?
Wouldn't be surprised if he's there by the second half of next season.
Considering his current rate of maturation, I'd say that's not beyond the realms of possibility. His work-rate against City was once again excellent.
If he gets games under Warren Joyce then his work rate and positional discipline will definitely need to be improved.

He's liked this tweet.
Why is he going to Liverpool?? 
He favourited or retweeted everything related to him (especially praising) on Twitter these days.
I'm sure it would continue to improve under Joyce, as it has under McGuinness. He was on his opposite number like white on rice on Saturday (at least in the first half, didn't catch the second), you didn't see that kind of defensive effort from him early in the season.
He's a hard one to figure out on social media, seems to find the most obscure mention of him and like or favorite them.. Anyway, I think he's heading for Liverpool next season
Someone has to pretend to be LFC supporter and tweet: "Callum Gribbin. Good young player he is. Shame he's next Man United legend".
Might have a search on his name going and just checks it periodically. A lot of brands do that as well, but it's still a bit weird. Such a shame he might leave though, he's quite the talent.
Agree.LVG might fancy a run-out for him at Anfield when we lead 4-0.
Been really impressed with him lately, will be a disaster if he went to Liverpool.
Just to go by the spirit for this thread,he has changed back his bio on both Twitter and Instagram to "Footballer at Manchester United".Lad is staying.
That's good news.. but would I be wrong to say he really needs to grow up and focus on his football if he wants to make it here?
Each time i see this thread bumped I expect to see something twitter or instagram related! He seems to have a huge ego, and that's always very good to have in top players but he still has a long way to go
He does come across a bit full of himself imo but then he is 16 and one of the best players in the country, you expect him to be a bit cocky. Hell man, all 16 year olds think they're top shit.
Has signed a scholarship with us according to Mr Mujac on Twitter.
Great. It would have been slightly painful to lose him to the Scouse.

Cheers gents, good news!
I do wonder whether there's any pre-agreement for pro deal when he turns 17.
