Ex Lion Tamer

If we push the boat out for him then i wouldn't be surprised if it's because we can't get the marquee striker we were after and are having to settle for a loan instead, so are hoping to make up for it in the wing position

It's a shame he wants to be close to his family because Celtic or Rangers would be great for him

I wonder if putting together a formal bid is actually a bit more work than sending an email that says "we'll pay £30m", so the club isn't going to do it unless it has put out the feelers and thinks the transfer is a realistic proposition

Maybe we tried but he chose Atalanta? They had a weaker season last year but before that made the quarter finals of the Champions League

If Arsenal want rid of him them then they will accept a lower fee, with the proceeds going into AMS' salary

Leicester aren't the team they were but I can see a new manager coming in and steering them clear of trouble

Here's how they compared last season:

Target men may be coming back into fashion with Haaland and Nunez now at City and Liverpool

Stuart Gray Steve Wigley Let's not go down that route again

Genuine question to all - are we taking it easier with the pressing in first halves now to try to conserve ourselves for the second? We used to blow ourselves out before half time, hence our terrible record for throwing away leads, but that seems to have changed

Although he has shown obvious ability at youth levels, he seems totally the wrong build for a full back. Perhaps it doesnt matter but something's not right for me. He reminded me of that stocky winger Fulham had, Kamara, who was ok to be fair but not a world beater. Also perhaps the thing he needs to learn at Port Vale is that it's not just us who think he's not ready

I wonder if this has been put out to pressure Ramos

The only reason to join United is big money, you're basically killing your career

I'm not sure how logistically we sack the manager right now. Would surely put off players from signing if there's no manager in place

I will give him another chance if he ditches three at the back

It is time for a new manager

He's been trash today. Needs a proper striker up alongside him

I do hope we change the formation once we actually have some fit fullbacks

It means we don't have Djenepo at left back

We've said we're going to sign a striker. It's pretty obvious that we are short up front and at full back. We'll be a different team with those positions addressed, not least because we'll be able to play a different formation

Such a stop-start half. Leeds have clattered us every time we've put some passes together. Good to see a couple of names in the book now. It's also clear that we're struggling to do our normal press in this heat

Can't help but worry that we're underestimating how hard it is to offload these sorts of players without massively subsidising their wages

It is looking increasingly like a mistake that we kept him this summer. Even if we get rid now, we're going to have to get rid of the new backroom staff too or find a manager that is happy to not bring his own people
