The new draw has been created to protect the bestest and ensure they go as far as possible.

Pretty boring, nothing to be excited about there. These cup runs are about playing different teams at their place, not the same dullness.

I noticed he's blaming everything that went before, poor players, players want out, scar tissue, all that nonsense. He's creating his own scar tissue as he did with us. He makes it sound like it was a mess and they finished nowhere in the SPL, but they came second on 75-80 points and qualified for the Champions league. It can't have been 'that' bad. I saw him bring up their relegation years as well, when they dropped down to the 2nd division - why is that relevant? They've bossed the league under Gerrard since then. All he does is deflect, deflect, deflect. It's infuriating. The bloke is a charlatan and in many ways it's good for the national media to now see it in black and white, we weren't as 'interesting', but Rangers are a bigger deal. He won't get another job after this in management.

Fully deserved, it's a shame they didn't hang on in real time. But they deserved to go through. Utd in disarray.

Jesus, that will go down like a lead balloon.

You guys got so flaming lucky by the way. Talk about dodging a bullet.

I mean, they were playing Russell Martin's Rangers, so their place in the Champions League was never in doubt. Not sure why they needed to wait.

Jesus, Rangers don't deserve this. They're too big a club to be lumbered with this clown.

Utd are ''calm and relaxed'' around the GK situation. They apparently had a chance to sign Donnoruma, although I find that hard to believe.

I reckon they'll win that, just cause it's how football goes!

They just spent almost 5 mins passing from the CB's back to the GK, and twice almost mis played the pass into the goal. His style sucks arse.

If that was the case I'd be losing Wood, and maybe I wouldn't have signed Stephens on a new contract. Edwards is the sort you plan around, not ditch. He's never been given a chance here so it was an odd signing if we're willing to dump straight away.

Man Utd are just a mess, no idea what fixes them. They keep throwing money at it and different managers, but it never changes.

I'm sure he played in a back 4 for them mainly, he did play some games in DM though as the typical 'front sweeper jack Stephens (tm)' role. But he can do that, because he's technically sound and good on the ball. We lose a DM, RB and CB with him going and I don't think we're particularly blessed at either RB or DM tbh.

He also said he was a striker, so he may not know too much about this one!

Wasn't Max Aarons one of Martin's picks for us? We tried to get him, I'm sure.

Agreed, I think it would be a stupid decision and one of many in the transfer mistakes this lot make. We only signed him last year, it makes no sense. He looks like a fish out of water in a 3, but in a settled 4 he's one of the better CB's this league has to offer - as proven at QPR last season. It's not like he's being kept out by prime maldini or serigo ramos.

He's one of the best attacking CM's in the league, so if this equals a panic signing consider me whelmed.

Wouldn't be against that one, he's a really tidy CM. Not sure he's the tallest though from memory, more Harrison Reed in height and physicality.

Ipswich already tried and failed in an attempt to get Miley, and with Tonali now injured he'll be a regular in their squad.

Add Azaz to that too, he's not the quickest, but he's not small. a 6ft number 10.

Really positive views from Plymouth fans too: Finn Azaz to Saints £12 million | PASOTI

I think it's exactly that, they'd somewhat become resigned to losing 'one of', not that they want to. I think the views are quite positive all around, they all rate him really highly. That's what you want to see.

See, this is the sort of comments you want to see from the fans of the current club:

Like Mads, this is the sort of signing we need. Someone who can walk into the side from day 1, ready made improvement. He's a top level Champ performer, so it's a no brainer in a position we need. He's not quick, but he can play between the lines and isn't the smallest - so he's not going to get knocked off the ball easily, he can hold his own. Good runs into the box, shoots from outside of the box. Exactly what we don't have today, and he's proven as one of the best in the league at it.
