He looks a super talent Collins. He is the type of player you could Fergie signing but since Fergie left we don't make those signings anymore.

Yep, I thought the same.
It's a really good game, and we're playing well, especially considering the changes.
We're traditionally poor when ahead, so let's see how we manage the second half. We need to keep the intensity and bite up.

Great half. Midfield three of Cullen, Molumby and Knight so important to this style of football. You can argue that Collins is among the best young centre-backs in Europe right now.
Delighted Molumby is showing what he can do, he was a pleasure to watch U21.
Knight gets better, he gets rave reviews for Derby but I've not seen him play for them.
Ah lads.
Meh
We just don't do leads, do we? Regardless of manager or style of football.
A good game so far. An interesting point I've seen is how much better Collins is to Duffy in the centre of the back three as he is much more comfortable coming out from the back.
Ukraine don't even exist anyway.
Collins would get on our starting eleven.
He's unreal tonight. Has it all on this display.
Collins is the one Fletcher recommended to Ole right?
Good night at the office. Much better second half of the international break to the first. We'll at least match England's achievements at the upcoming world cup.
United could do a lot worse than signing Nathan Collins
Link him up with Obafemi at Swansea
Is he the lad that played for stoke?
I like him a lot but he’s not there yet. He’s still developing his game and the lapses and positional issues he’s working out of his game - as is the case with all young players - would be highlighted so much more at a club like United. He just needs to play lots of games over the next season or two and see where it brings him. Personally, I don’t think it’d be the end of the world to see him be Burnley’s main CB in the Championship under Kompany for a season.
I think that's when Fletcher saw him and wanted United to buy him.
Not sure if we have been linked since then but we could do a lot worse and have
Well that's Collins in as a starter. Him plus 2. If every little international break nails down one place, that's progress. He's a great prospect but agree that another year under Vincent in the Championship is perfectly acceptable.
If we bought Nathan Collins he'd be our 2nd best CB behind Varane.
If he continues to develop he'll be a monster, love the way he steps up in defence and is proactive in his timing and decision making.

We tried to sign him when he was still at Stoke. The one and only ITK fact I ever got hold of (his da is a coach at my son’s club) Staying put worked out great for his career so far. I hope we’re still interested.
Was his dad not at Liverpool? Wonder if he is a fan
Yeah, he was at Liverpool. Very much doubt he’s a fan of United!
An Irish Liverpool fan who probably dreamt of scoring last minute winners in front of the Kop, y'say?
Injuries permitting I’d add Omobamidele who looks like a really good footballer as well as a good defender.
Especially when he seems to spend a lot of time hanging around Kinahan scrotes like Liam Byrne’s son. Not sure if the Lord would approve what those lads get up to.
We’re Eusta this

On the one hand, go away and shite Klopp you beady-eyed fecknugget.
On the other hand, he's probably right. Never bet against the ineptitude of the Irish national team.

Obafemi is a talent but his unwillingness to move beyond walking pace off the ball was infuriating. He makes Ronaldo look like an enthusiastic presser. Ogbene definitely offers more.
Also only just noticed tonight that Nathan Collins, in addition to being the thinking man's Beckenbauer, is a conspicuously good looking guy. Resembles Chris Hemsworth. Yet another reason for United to rue not signing him.

If only we had this manager in the Roy Keane era. Could have won the WC 
. We are seriously playing some good football with a lot of shite players. No more long ball crap.

Had no faith in Parrott when he was through.
Robbie Keane primeIf only we had this manager in the Roy Keane era. Could have won the WC
Ya man for man Scotland have a far better side than we do yet we're proving a fair match for them.If only we had this manager in the Roy Keane era. Could have won the WC
We've been brilliant tonight. It's great to see... Just need another goal.
It’s been a cracking match. So much quality football. Considering the absolute shite these teams have served up over the years it’s a. encouraging evening for both Ireland and Scotland.
I'm not watching but I refuse to believe this.
Bazunu Keeper is on City books.
