Saint Garrett

He's certainly not looked himself since Villa away when he picked up that knee injury. Probably a mix of his injury, covid and contract talks on his mind, has contributed to his poor form ever since. Something is telling me, he's going to expect a top side to come in, and he ends up in a Fonte situation, and goes to West Ham / Newcastle / VIlla / Leeds.

Not really, because I don't agree with it.

Yeah - think Zinchenko will be out the door this summer, so would be tempting that's for sure, especially is Bertrand is not going to sign a new contract. Or Angelino seems to be having a good season at Leipzig. Another option could be Patrick Roberts, although not sure he's good enough.

I'm not talking about this situation, I'm saying I don't think it's right personally that someone can own more than 1 club. Conflict of interests.

I do find it odd, that Adam Blackmore called this BS and nothing in it when it first got leaked, yet there has clearly been a period of exclusivity, so clearly not BS. I don't like the sound of this guy, and I personally disagree with owners owning more than one club, but Gao is also dreadful, but might be better the devil you know on this one.

Bonkers, have a word with yourself!

Need to get a positive result, even if its just for some confidence... I'd be tempted to give Salisu a start, if he's fit enough, Bednarek is having a bit of a mare atm, and Stephens is just an awful defender. Though might have to play him at RB if KEP isn't back. Is Armstrong back? Forster; KWP/Stephens Vestergaard Salisu Bertrand; JWP Romeu; Armstrong Ings Adams Djenepo

Sorry - I mean eventually inevitable, but not sure it will be this summer.

Think he'd get decent game time at City assuming they don't sign Haaland this summer, which I think is inevitable. Money isn't there like it was a few years ago, he's English, cheap, and they currently only have Jesus and Aguero, who is rarely fit....think he'd also be a great fit for how they play...one to watch I think.

Yup. And that wouldn’t be so bad. Remove him from CB where he’s been poor this season, and have a bit more experience at RB than Ramsay. Will help us massively having Romeu back too, as it should mean we’re playing much further up the pitch and have more of the ball, leaving Stephens less susceptible to 1v1s. Slowly starting to get a bit of confidence back with these players returning. I just hope it’s not too soon.

Don’t see us bouncing back here. So weak at the back / midfield. 3-0 Newcastle

Question for you... Would you rather have beaten Liverpool 1-0 and lost 9-0 to Man Utd, or lost both 1-0?

Think we’re passed that stage now? Normally I’d be hoping he is banned but with no one else he’ll have to play. No chance we’re getting a result there this weekend

No chance. We’re fucked

No he shouldn’t. We’re 3 points better off than if we’d have lost to Liverpool and Man Utd 1-0

Fingers crossed we have some players back for this, or I worry about Saturday. The kids are nowhere near good enough. Gut feeling is they have to rescind that Red card. Was a dive. Mccarthy; KWP Vestergaard Bednarek Bertrand; JWP Romeu; Armstrong Ings Adams Redmond What’s the chances they’ll be back?!

Always have a look at opps forums...they're not very confident...which surprises me given how depleted we are. I'm not sure they've realised we're missing KWP, Vestergaard, Diallo Romeu Walcott who would all probably play if fit... Gut feeling is that we'll have a go, but quality will tell and our defence will be a bit all over the place, especially with no Romeu / Diallo protecting the defence. https://www.redcafe.net/matches/manchester-united-vs-southampton.378/

Rashford will get a hat trick because I've removed him from my fantasy team.

Athletic reporting it could be “up to £500k”

Who said we’ve paid a couple of million to loan Minamino? Can’t see it personally. They only paid 6-7m for him didn’t they?!

We do. We have Diallo JWP Stephens Salisu and Ferry who can all do a job at full back. Depends on injuries. Valery and Vokins are no better than those at full back right now.

Yes.

He’s not reliable at all.

Think it’s dependant on who isn’t injured. Probably will be Prowsey if we have a CM, maybe Armstrong drops in there. Or maybe Moussa will play RB. Whatever the decision, it’s damaged limitations with this many players out.

Think he’ll do a good job there in midfield. I think he is ok, just not as a RB.
