Heaton is currently injured. Not sure how long for. Besides, the manager wants 3 senior goalies.

Doesn't matter. We had injuries in midfield last season and he didn't use Iqbal and instead promoted Mainoo ahead of him.
It's like being at a carboot when eventually you get so sick of some bastad trying to lowball you repeatedly over hours and just finally snap JUST TAKE HIM, FOR FREE.
I think we are done in terms of in-commings. Feck this window.
May as well shut the window today then
You would hope that was the case but this is Utd and Ryan Bertrand says hi apparently!!
No chance of what?
...who is now also injured.
But why does he want 3 senior goalies? I know the in vogue thing around is just take whatever the manager says as gospel but how does it make any sense to commit limited funds to three senior goalkeepers when only one can play at any one time and usually one goalkeeper plays 80% to 90% of the matches?
He’ll sign for them, play out of his skin then the CAF will moan as to why we couldn’t get him
Don't you actually need it for match day squads? Two GKs that is.
He won’t, he’s shit.
It’s no different than it’s ever been. That 3rd goalie spot is either a veteran who knows he won’t play (Heaton) or a youngster playing U21 games.
Man City had Richard Wright on the books for 4 years and he didn’t play a game. They now have Scott Carson playing that role.
Arsenal have Raya and Ramsdale.
City have Ederson, Steffen and Carson.
Liverpool have Alisson, Kelleher and Adrian.
Chelsea are adding Petkovic to Sanchez and Bettinelli.
No chance that we could do with any of them right now. They aren't good enough. The only young midfielder who has left that could offer us something is Gomes.
Our window shut when those at the wheel couldn't get rid of Henderson Maguire DVB McTominay.
I think Gravenberch on loan has more chance than Amrabat now. Oh well.
Quite honestly I would take it,maybe some interest for McTominay pops up next week
We will sign both next week. I'm going to be positive. ( no basis and no chance but I'm crossing my fingers )

How the feck is Shaw out for months?
Deadline day McTom goes to West Ham or something and we get both in at the last minute.
PLEASE
It's only 6 weeks isn't it?
It’s Ortega who city have,Stefan Ortega. I’m not OCD about keepers or what have you but I rate Ortega over their regular Ederson.
iirc Zack Steffen, the American (I think?) keeper was loaned out to Middlesborough. Not sure if he’s still there or not but Ortega is the reserve keeper and Carson kept his place as the reserve to the reserve.
Only makes sense if it's a loan. Dalot or Fernández would be fine there for a month or two.
Fecking Glazers/Murtough
Selling McTominay would be stupid at this stage.
Don't see who else gives us funds
So we think the team that had him on loan last season and actively didn’t play him to ensure that they didn’t invoke his pre-determined transfer fee are going to come back and buy this clown.
Good luck
Yeah but my point is ETH didn't rate them so he wouldn't have played them.
It's a thing for a lot of managers. They like the security and they don't want to stifle a young goalie who should be playing games. Only one goalie plays is exactly the point. You need youth goalies to get game experience. It's easier to integrate an outfield player with sub appearances.
I still can't decide if the club see it as a case of one or the other. Need to see more reliable sources saying we are trying to sign both before having your level of confidence
Right, but I'm saying this, being the alternative, is worse. If he'd bought quality players, then obviously it'd be fine and I'm sure most were thinking that was going to happen earlier this window. As it stands, however, we've wasted 60 million on an out-of-form CM who isn't a CM and is now injured, turned our nose up at an offer to get rid of a sub-par player in McTominay and now, yet again, scrambling around at the end of the window to rectify mistakes (again) we shouldn't have made in the first place.
The fact we are now open to the idea of loans tells you everything you need to know about our financial position.
A loan in Sir Alex's day was an absolute emergency only.

McTominay is going nowhere .
Why is it so fecking hard to offload Van de Beek on loan? Surely someone in Spain and Italy can use him, come on he's not useless and will do much better in a slower league.
They don’t know if it’s weeks or months
