My wit's end
Januzaj was first choice until he was shipped out. I wouldn't read too much into Powell's recent inclusions.

He said he touched the like button accidentally. Pretty easy to do on a touch screen device.

How ungrateful is he? Thanks to LVG he'll be able to tell his grandchildren about his one and only CL appearance.

Why the championship though? This is a player with CL and Europa league experience. Surely he can attract a PL club, even Villa! I don't feel he's progressing as well as he should

Because he's not very good.
I think he'll play the bulk of his future career games in the Championship.

He's just disappeared after randomly appearing for a week or two.

He probably impressed in training after being told:

"Nick, when did you last read your contract?"
"When I signed it, boss"
"Well it ends in the summer"
"feck"

Kick up the arse and with us short on players why not see what he can do. Ultimately it's more or less over for him here - injuries haven't helped but at the very least it's made him relevant again and some clubs as we're seeing now are taking notice of him.

Can't believe we time after time miss out on players like Ramsey, Alli etc and end up with daft feckers like Jones and Powell.

Ramsey rejected us though. You are wrong that we missed out, we actively went for him. And time will tell if Alli can make the grade at a top club.

Do people have anything decent to say?The last page is shocking.

Powell didn't play yesterday probably because he's about to go on loan.Not exactly a mystery.

Hull City close in on Nick Powell and Dusan Kuciak deals

HULL City are closing in on deals to sign Slovakia goalkeeper Dusan Kuciak and Manchester United youngster Nick Powell ahead of Monday's transfer deadline.

The 21-year-old has been at the centre of negotiations between City and Manchester United this week and has been cleared to leave Old Trafford for the remainder of the season. Provided Bruce is able to keep his existing squad intact ahead of Monday's deadline, deals for Kuciak and Powell could signal the beginning and the end of City's business this month.

The proposed move for Kuciak comes five months after the Tigers failed to prise the goalkeeper out of Legia Warsaw.

Two bids, significantly higher than the £250,000 now agreed, were rejected by the Polish side ahead of their Europa League campaign but there is now a willingness to cash in ahead of Kuciak's contract expiring in June.

Turkish side Osmanlispor and an unnamed German club were also credited with an interest by reports in Poland yesterday but the Tigers are confident of completing a deal that will provide competition for Allan McGregor and Eldin Jakupovic.

Kuciak has won 10 caps for Slovakia and spent time in his homeland with AS Trencin and MSK Zillina and with Romanian side FC Vaslui before joining Legia Warsaw five years ago.

If Kuciak has been earmarked to provide depth to City's goalkeeping ranks, it is hoped the interest in Powell will give City a fresh attacking edge.

The attack-minded midfielder was regarded as one of the brightest prospects in English football when joining Manchester United from Crewe for £6m as an 18-year-old, scoring on his Premier League debut in a 4-0 win over Wigan.

A season-long loan with Wigan provided regular Championship football in 2013-14 but another loan with Leicester the following term ended prematurely after just four appearances under ex-City boss Nigel Pearson.

Powell subsequently spent nine months out with a hamstring problem but did make two appearances for United's first team in December.

As well as coming off the bench in a 3-2 defeat away to Wolfsburg, a result that confirmed United's exit from the Champions League, the playmaker also featured in the Premier League defeat at Bournemouth.

Louis van Gaal is now content to see Powell fly the Old Trafford nest for a third time this month and City are confident they can land the youngster ahead of interest elsewhere in the Championship.

Powell is due to see his contract expire with Manchester United at the end of this season and a loan move to the KC Stadium could be the stepping stone towards a permanent deal

Makes sense.
The Championship is his level, and he'll probably spend most of his career there.

Sir Alex's mission: 'make up for missing out on Aaron Ramsey' failed.

LvG put him on in a must win CL game, and some weeks later sends him on loan to Hull for the remainder of his contract.

I really don't think LvG is right for this job

If he plays well he gets an extension, if not we let him go. Still has the talent to make it imo.

I bet he has a career mode as United on FIFA, and was shocked when it came up saying, "Nick Powell demands transfer request", since even he'd forgotten he plays for us.

He's just too laid back. He doesn't have the drive and aggression to make it at the top. The talent has always been there. The application hasn't. He enjoys his banter and probably enjoys his time away from the training ground too much.

Ferguson alluded to his laid back ways in his book.

What annoys me is that he could have been our Dele Ali.
