In what way? It sounds reasonable to me. I think he'll get around 10 goals in the Prem.

It would indeed. Seriously doubt it will happen.

No, as I believe we won't be in a relegation fight next year.

Ward-Prowse, Stephens, Sinclair and Shaw I would imagine will all get cup run outs at least.

How have you got anywhere near that from a tweet about him going on holiday with his family...?

After the celebrations die down, Lambert is brought back in for a fitness test.

Cannot agree with this in the slightest. He went backwards no more than anyone else - keeping the ball was the emphasis this season. Not tackling? Absurd. He improved greatly in this department. As for giving the ball away - again, as did everyone else. It happens. They're not Xavi.

McGoldrick perhaps, although he is still playing in the FL. Best has performed at Prem level however.

He really wasn't that good.

I think Pilkington is a much better player than Snodgrass tbh.

Surrender

Not sure about selling (unless you could set a minimum asking price and not just a valuation) but loaning would work well, I hate having to go through my entire reserves squad trying to loan all my youngsters out for players every single transfer window.

Really...? They don't even get that for Uniteds reserves. Fwiw, I don't think we will enter one. It kind of defeats the whole point of having the development squad the last few years.

Reading through the comments on that article, what a bunch of bitter, angry morons they sound like (not all, I admit).

Regarding Vegas being cancelled, I'm sure in the dressing room celebrations you can see a couple of youngsters there - Reeves and Ward-Prowse at least - so perhaps the club didn't want to take the squad on a trip where a few of them would be left out for 90% of the time?

Home grown players have to have been at the club for 5 years before their 21st birthday - I think. The subs bench being cut down and the fact that we're successful - and therefore have more to lose if a youth player doesn't perform - are the reasons we haven't seen anyone break through recently. Worth remembering that in cup games last season, Reeves and Ward-prowse played a few times with the latter even getting on the scoresheet.

A great story, but when I read this... ...I thought you were going to say that Fox got annoyed Lallana had stolen his thunder.

It would, but it wouldn't devalue the sale. As said above, Newcastle received around £10million for their naming rights - but everyone just calls it St James anyway.

What a load of tosh. The rumour that Cortese cancelled it, that is.

3rd of June.

Not for me...he tries far too hard to be all the players and managers best mate.

Great video, but I hated the "tough year" comment to Sharp. He doesn't need telling, no less reminding at a time like that.

I'd wager all of those are down to mistranslations.

Watch the video of all goals this season - 2 or 3 of them come from Fox overlapping. And that's not including the ones that didn't make it into the video, or the ones that didn't result in a goal. The "Fox doesn't overlap" view is just as huge a myth as the "Fox passes the ball into the opposite stand" one.

Or perhaps the same Fox that, as I said, has to mark 2 players at once and would rather trust his CBs to clear a cross than let an extra oppo player run into the box unmarked. I'm not blaming Lallana by the way - I know full well the system we play leaves the fullbacks exposed, and that's the point. We have to cut them a bit of slack by taking that into consideration.
