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.

I mean he is shit. He needs games. And he’s a long way down the pecking order. Depending on the situation with KWP, Salisu, Vestergaard, Diallo and Romeu, it would make sense to loan him out to get games. I worry he’d struggle to get in the Birmingham team though.

Well if Walcott is out for 2 months, there’s one less competition. He can play all across the front 4 positions too.

Excited by this one. Hopefully includes an option to buy.

Yea, on a free and reasonable wages, 2 year deal. Can’t have a squad of all 18-24 year old, need a couple of older heads in there.

Guessing we can hand in a deal sheet and give us til tomorrow to sort or whatever the rules are

Worst owner in the league, was before Covid.

Feels like the owner has decided we’ve stayed up this season, and just trying to see through to the summer with the current squad, cost saving where possible. Feel sorry for Ralph.

So we’re not going to sign him today if he’s on loan at Fulham for the rest of this season?

Is he not on loan at Fulham anymore?

Adam Blackmore @AdamBlackmore · 2m Southampton have ended their interest in Arsenal’s Ainsley Maitland-Niles, after becoming increasingly frustrated in negotiations with his reps #saintsfc will continue to pursue other targets between now & 11pm

AMN would make sense given he can play RB, LB, CM and could also probably play in either of the "10's" if we had noone else. Would be a good acquisition for us in this current time. It's the only thing I see happening today, don't think there is anything in Gilmour or King personally.

Can't really see much difference in quality to be honest. Only thing I'd say, is that it looks a bit odd without the UA logo on.

And West Ham just bought Benrahma fir £25m and Lingard on loan for best part of £5m...!

Will be a tough night.... Mccarthy; Valery Bednarek Stephens Bertrand; JWP Jankewitz; Armstrong Ings Adams Redmond Damaged limitation I feel

Cant imagine we'd let both of our left backs go this window, but nothing surprises me with Mr Gao.

We will be if he runs his contract down.

Yeah, but it sounds like he doesn’t want to wait 2 years to maybe get a part on the bench. His choice.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with believing in himself. Last season Smallbone was in front of him (rightly or wrongly) and then the club brought in Diallo. Probably doesn’t see a path to starting regularly for the club, and wants to play. Whether that’s now or in 2 years time, if JWP and Diallo are here, it’s unlikely he’ll play.
