Clarkey & Convict are talking about a Sigurdsson or Ziyech. Goal scoring AMC's. How we need someone to step up. My current thinking on new striker is a target man now. A focal point who can hold play up. I'm not surprised we didn't score tonight. Just disappointed.

He's mobile too, for a big lad.

Famous last words.

They need more forwards on the bench.

Is Cedric injured?

I think the last bit is our fail-safe. We have the option IF we can't get anyone else.

Agree. Everton were always a very logical move for him. Ronald's worked with him before, they will pay his big wages AND the big fee as they've struggled to get big names over the line & United won't put up any resistance to keep him. Everton also need to get their average age down too. Morgan is is ready made to help them. Gueye & Schneiderlin (on paper) is good IMO.

True, but Sam would argue his stint at Southend did him the world of good.

The most obvious transfer in history is getting closer. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/12/14/manchester-united-transfer-newsmorgan-schneiderlin-nears-everton/

Yeah. If City / Chelsea / Utd etc. do want him then the price needs to reflect that.

Found this online for you: "Things are written all the time about recovery times, especially for hamstring strains. I tend to think about anything up to 3 weeks for a grade 1, anything from between 2 and 8 weeks for a grade 2 hamstring strain and you are looking at pretty much 12 weeks for a grade 3. It can be anything within that."

A slightly tentative link, but Oscar is being linked with a £60m move to China. So Chelsea will (not surprisingly) have extra cash in the bank if they want to bid.

It will lessen as we won't play on Thursdays anymore, but during "3 games in a week" weeks like this one, Claude will keep on rotating.

That didn't take very long for him to f*ck up!

Would agree that they must be looking at him to replace Kompany. Your pricing isn't unrealistic either. City aren't shy on spending on centre-backs: - Otemendi (£30m+) - Mangala (£40m+) - Stones (£50m)

I'm pretty sure FF said he does have a recall in January. His sourcing is strong on this one

Alex Crook has been reading this thread then!

The only good thing about Charlie being out is that we will at least all know whether Jay still has it or not, because unless he gets injured, he is going to loads of game time now.

Not to mention both Liverpool & Barca win the ball incredibly high up the pitch. We don't do that, we tend to sit-off off them.

Shown here using the team that played during that 2nd half, with the front players rotating - I reckon that's pretty good. (& fits in with some of the players on the bench too). ---------------Forster--------------- Martina---Fonte---Virgil---McQueen ----------Romeu---Clasie---------- JWP----------Boufal-------Redmond -------------Rodriguez--------------

Unfortunately, I agree.

Think that one is inevitable. Utd won't put up any fight to keep him & Everton need to replace Barry & McCarthy is seemingly surplus to requirements.

Lallana / Shaw / Chamberlain / Theo / Bale / Chambers?
