  1. I like Sharp and he is a goalscorer but he isnt the kind of player a team "hates to see come off the bench" in a Prem game.
  2. Or the "6m but that might not be enough" comments. Knight was available for free this summer anyway.
  3. Im not great with names... anyway...surely we should be looking to improve on the quality as much as adding options. Many on here have written Fonte off so no point bringing in someone who is no better thn him surely? Of course you need options, but I think msot are concerend about the quality of the current pairing as well.
  4. Stoke have been linked with a move for Michael Dawson now so might have a space to let someone leave?
  5. Not really no. But looking at who played last night its either him or Shawcross and I would expect Shawcross is an unlikely move.
  6. No Spurs didn't play, not in it til round 3 I think.
  7. If not Shawcross then must be Dawson...
  8. Shawcross would be over 6m i would imagine. Agree that I can't see why he would view it as a worthwhile move.
  9. Maybe Craig Dawson? Played for WBA last night. Fits our transfer profile.
  10. And if Adkins is also given Ramirez I doubt he will care whose idea it was, he will be delighted to work with quality players - it gives him far more options. I believe anyway that Adkins will recommend areas of the team we need to improve and attributes he wants and then the Recruitment Department will find targets which fit.
  11. Lee is a tidy player no doubt and useful to have in the squad but there is a danger that people go overboard on his abilities.
  12. Now we have some Internationals it might be an idea to have a thread to keep an eye on them. So far have seen Davis called up by Northern Ireland and Clyne picked for Eng U21's - this is in addition to JWP being in the U19s and Shaw, Chambers and Stephens on standby for that squad. Lee picked for Japan. Assume Zambia have a game? Fox probably for Scotland if they do (Im not mentioning a certain South American nation) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Yoshida played 90mins for Japan who won 1-0 vs UAE. Clyne unused sub for Eng U21's JWP played 70mins for Eng U19s who lost 3-1 to Germany. Ramirez on as a Uruguay sub for 30mins vs Columbia (4-0) Clyne played 2nd half of England U21's win over Norway Yoshida played 90mins in Japan's 1-0 win over Iraq. Lallana an unused sub for England vs Ukraine Davis played 90mins as N Ireland drew 1-1 with Luxembourg Ramirez played 90mins in Uruguay's 1-1 draw with Ecuador
  13. Lets hope they get this right. Not at all convinced on Ramirez, Slyne, Jay Rod and Steven Davidson. FFS - our Recruitment Department makes Office Angels look good.
  14. Yeah - good atmopsphere for United who are missing key players, see what happens - its a bonus game and then 2 weeks to really get going before Arsenal away.
  15. Interesting. As one of two CBs then he sounds good, but if he is the only addition at CB then Im not sure he is an immediate improvement on what we have - soley based on his experience so far. Would be asking a lot for him to suddenly come in and make a huge difference to the backline.
  16. Nixon says he was lined up for QPR but Cortese knows him & the club and bypassed the agent to get the deal done. Good work Don. Well gazumped.
  17. Could be as a companion. Lots of articles on Twitter about our interest in Gonzalo Bueno...
  18. Gonzalo Bueno and he looks class!
  19. Some absolutely moronic comments on here tonight. We are crying out for pace in our front three....
  20. Plus the other members of the recruitment team - looks exciting and a totally different option to what we have. Of course, he might not necessarily start all the time but is another squad option and will mean our team/bench looks a lot stronger. Now for Ramirez and a CB.
  21. Expect Blackpool want a crazy price which they are allowed to.
  22. There's an African Nations this January so he will probably be missing for that.
  23. Must mean no Ramirez because according to some on here you can only negotiate for one player at a time.
  24. Sounds great, the kind of player other teams will hate to face.
