SuperSAINT

The old Ossie Ardiles Spurs formation from '94/95?!

Silva & Kompany being back is a huge boost for them. If Bony partners Aguero, I'm thinking Ronald will go 5-3-2.

Too early for a build-up thread? I had a look at physioroom.com and they seem to indicate Bony, Silva AND Kompany should be back for the weekend Man City playing Juventus on Wednesday evening too.

We were, and probably the previous 3 or 4 summers before it. A bit like Nathan Redmond.

Yeah, thought it sounded familiar. http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11715/8008814/holloway-unsure-over-phillips

Swindon would probably take him back in a heartbeat at the moment.

Long on the bench for Rep. Ireland tonight.

Stoke have picked up recently. 4 clean sheets from their last 5 league games. Shawcross is back & Shaqiri starting to look impressive. Will be a tough game but one we can win. Hope we have less of a hangover from the International break than we did when we played Leicester though. Fingers-crossed Virgil's knee is OK.

Ah, crap.

Not sure how Delph gets a start either.

I agree Adrian. If Man Utd want Mane, it's to improve what they already have, so why wouldn't he go for an absolute fortune? Especially when the new TV revenue kicks in. You touched on it with Martial (and I believe the total cost is after add-on's is £50m+) All of United's forwards cost an absolute fortune: - Rooney was £27m (over 10 years ago!) - Mata was £37m - Fellaini was £27m - Depay was £30m

Where's he playing, Pilch? Sitting in central midfield?

I don't think it's a coincidence that Mike Smalling has improved since the name change.

Let's not mess around. Ask for £30m + Depay.

I'd agree with this. Fingers-crossed he keeps his head on like he did last summer when the stories start up in January. Could be worth a fortune next summer - Especially with the new TV ££'s kicking in.

That's quality!

This is neither here or there but speaking about their squad, I saw Antonio was linked with Derby -- I'd completely forgotten he'd signed for West Ham.

They've been linked with a few already: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/transfernews/article-3310443/Manchester-United-eye-Riyad-Mahrez-Felipe-Anderson-Sadio-Mane-Louis-van-Gaal-keen-adding-winger-January.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490

^ I can almost smell the links in January already.

Lingard looked good for United yesterday. Keeping Depay out the team. Ask for £30m plus Depay when United come back in for Mane

Borini on for 2nd half.

Defoe is destined to come on and score the winner.
