Will Smallbone is a name I often see mentioned in U23/19 match reports. One for the future?

Or Jermaine Wright..

Someone has already changed his Wikipedia page to ‘current team Southampton’.

Goa must have contacts at some Chinese football clubs. They always pay good for average players.

Dutch media reporting that Hoedt is in Spain now to finalize the deal. 6 month loan with option to buy with it being announced tomorrow.

Lots of reasons to be excited for next season, - full pre season with Ralph - none of the current players seem to be going anywhere - possibly the squad will be strengthened - players returning from loan (Reed, Boufal) who could challenge for a place in the match day squad - Players leaving who we want out

I believe all clubs are saying they don’t have any funds for new players, to keep the price of potential targets down.

I’ve just been browsing through some Belgium football websites but can only find us being linked to Trossard back in October/November.

Blackburns Bradley Dack a player that cdajfu? I haven’t seen him play, but his stats are impressive for a attacking midfielder.

He might then be better suited at West Ham..

Doesn’t the compensation to a sacked manager stop once he finds new employment? I remember Dortmund contacting Peter Bosz once he turned up as a analyst on Dutch tv, whilst still be paid of by them. If so, Puel and Pellegrino found employment pretty swift after their contracts were terminated. The main problem I believe is poor recruitment and high salaries for average players. The likes of Hoedt, Forster and Long know they won’t get a better contract elsewhere. Clasie wants to remain at Feyenoord, however they cannot afford a transfer fee and with Boufal, Carillo and Elyounoussie we will make big losses.

Ritsu Doan who scored the 3-1 plays for FC Groningen and has attracted attention from Ajax and PSV. Goalscoring midfielder with pace, only problem could be his height.

I..... errr.... got to do something, back soon..

Ferry and Smallbone seem like real talents. Often see their names mentioned in reports.

Apparently we are interested in Feyenoord and United Japanese target Shoya Nakajima, who plays for Porto.

When did De Gea sign for us?

Jos has today announced his retirement from football. Could have used him Thursday as he always seemed to score against West Ham.

Waigo celebrating winning the Johnstone Paint trophy like we had just won the Champions League was another classic from him.

He might be a Skate, but Derby’s Mason Mount is a player I would like to see here. Last year at Vitesse he showed some good skill and scored goals.

I used to give updates on Seager, but like you said, there wasn’t much to report with Seager being on the bench. At the start of this season he started most games, then he was used as a substitute and now he seems to play very little. Checking his stats, he has played 11 games and scored 2 goals (they have played 19 games). I cannot find a Telstar message board to see what the fans think of him. If I was Seager, I would try to have the loan terminated and return to us and hope for a domestic loan with chance of a permanent contract.

Seager rarely plays for Dutch second division side Telstar (who are 16th in a league that’s poorer then League 2). I don’t think Seager is going to play for us.

Ward-Prowse and Elyounoussi back in the bench. Gabbiadini, Hoedt, Davis and Cedric (seen in training photos) miss out. Can we see them moved on in January?

I’ve been looking forward all week to this game after our epic win against Arsenal. But have just heard we have to go Christmas shopping this afternoon and will miss the match. Anyone know a good trick how to avoid going in town so I can stay home and watch the match?

Cryptic message from Ralph. Think we’ll find out next month who got on and who missed the SFC train.

Zidane will probably go to PSG, best French footballer at the richest French club. If United approach Tuchel they might just get a good price and a very good manager.
