Why do we have to buy more players not good enough to start? If we sign a player, i'd hope they are good enough to be first 11, and look to get into the team

Given the state of us nearly every moment of playing 3/5 at the back this season, it is probably fair to say that formation was the greater risk

why is it incredibly brave to go 4 at the back against Leicester? 4 at the back is pretty normal, right?

Rob, or Ramos?

He could top-up his beer money by 'housing an Albanian'. They are now the dominant nationality coming across the Channel.

was hardly put to bed, it was said he would not be loaned!

Glad to hear we have finally said that Adams is not for sale. One for MLG (for when he returns) Just heard Alex Crook say "my sources at Southampton say he is not for sale". So, the quote from Ralph at the press conference then.

What?

I am surprised (well, not really) that Sadoldgit is complaining about the 'cost of living'. He was one of the biggest supporters of continued lockdown and wanted more of it. Just cannot believe he is that daft that he is unaware of the financial consequences of doing it.

That is that then

Happy with that, could have been a lot worse, with a decent number of premier league sides going out

So, signing another midfielder might make JwP or Lavia unhappy and push for a move? Signing another CB for around £10m (or loaning an established player) is beyond our expectations...righto

But has won a major trophy recently......

Would be a very decent signing IMO

why would they be back up? what if they are just as good and force their way into the team? We have just signed ABK. Are you saying to sign a player like him is now beyond expectations?

I find it odd that we have fans cheering this on. We have played well for about 1 half of a game (in the league) so far. Still look shaky at the back, and no way will all the new young players keep up the already OK levels of performance all season.

We're his spiritual home, surely

If we can keep them out for the first 15 mins, and get on the ball, we have a chance. What we cannot do is start like the other games, assuming United play anything close to what they did the other night. My team..... Bazunu KwP ABK Salisu Djenepo Jwp S.Armstrong Lavia Aribo Adams A.Armstrong

I would be, we are paper-thin on quality in the squad. Hene why we are being linked with a handful of players and it has been put out there that we want to spend big on a striker

He was the new Henry once upon a time, yes?

How did we play then? Their manager was full of praise for our performance, saying we gave the game respect in that we were right at it. Pressed them hard and and were very quick getting forward.

Just need another link to Harry Winks, and the circle will be complete
