Ive said it before but I Would like Brendon Williams from Manchester United. Would be a very good signing at LB. Probably quite cheapish. Far down the pecking order at United. 
 

can play both fullbacks

 

 

I'd want him too but I vaguely remember him being linked with some lower PL teams on loan earlier in the window so I wonder whether he'd come to us. Playing both full backs is ideal though. 

How have we signed him it's not 9-5 Monday - Friday?

Richarlison showboating and then getting floored by a Forest play is my favourite thing I've seen today.

On who's say so did they have Farke and Carvahal?? I've seen nothing from the club or anyone else of substance to back up that fantasy. 

As for Styles.... Again pure fantasy! 

Hirst?? Oh Elliot Jackson's reporting on it as well another great track record lol

I'm of the opinion that no one is truly in the know other than those making the moves at the club. 

I could turn on here and throw names around willy nilly.... Doesn't mean it's gospel.

Wake up, grow up and stop being so defensive love x

Seems like you could save yourself some blood pressure by not hanging around a transfer speculation thread

I’m not sure how I’d feel about that if it was the same at Rovers.

Depends if they'd got us to premier league or not

Imagine being someone that pays for his Patreon 💀.

Surprised they’ve a server big enough for his ego. Guy is an absolute crank.

His ego is loaded onto the part of the server where the footballing insight should be. 

Sounds like we're in for Hyam, two vans and caulker. Obviously not getting them all but it's encouraging that they're hedging their bets and getting a few lined up for if another falls through. 

I'd read he was having a medical today

What's acceptable terminology for being willing to give people a chance and not expect instant overnight results? Clearly 'project' and 'journey' are triggering to people on here

I'm hoping JDT saying there will be 3 means there's 3 that are near enough dead certs but there's a 4th / 5th bonus one that may or may not come off. 

I think we need 

CB - Hyam 

RB cover 

Striker 

An absolute bastard - probably most effective as a CM

Well it doesn't prove anything. its indicative though.

 

We could be 23rd in the League based on the last 2 results! Bit early for those sorts of conclusions.

Anyway, they didn't have Clarke then did they?!!!

Blimey your glass is half empty isn't it?

Something very solid there to build on for a new manager with new ideas and some backing. Hasn't materialised.

So which is it? The squad has been decimated with 12 outgoings or there is a solid foundation? Both seem contradictory to me

47 minutes ago, JHRover said:

Half the players you name as 'additions' to replace the outgoings were already here last season. Vale, Markanday, Carter etc.

If you can list magloire and Davenport as an outgoing I can have Markanday as an incoming.

It looks like we're at the 'Dack, Hedges and Markanday are like new signings' stage with some

How is that not a factor to be considered?  Last seasons squad didn't have Dack or Marakanday available. This seasons squad does. 

12 out 3 in is misleading. 

We lost:

JP Van Hecke

Ryan Nyambe

Darragh Lenihan

Ryan Giles

Zeefuik

Brad Johnson

Joe Rothwell

Reda Khadra

That's 8 players

These players left 

Jacob Davenport - never played even when the squad was stretched beyond beleif

Ian Poveda - injured all season 

Harry Chapman - never played

Tyler Magloire - never played and I've seen people say they'd rather play with 10 

James Brown - one game in a dead rubber match

That's 5 players that have left with no negative impact on squad strength imo

We've  brought in, or now have as options 

Brittan

Smod

Morton 

Carter

Phillips

Wharton 

Garret

Vale

Markanday 

That's more like 8 out 8 / 9 in. 3 or 4 quality additions over the next week and I'd say we've plugged the gaps. I didn't expect much more from the window there was a lot to do to make this a JDT squad. When he arrived the squad had loads of gaps to fill, I think it was a big ask to fill those gaps AND upgrade the players we did have to the high pressing high energy type player. Too much to do in one window especially when we've got a new structure starting from a standing start several weeks behind the other clubs. 

I know we'd all like it done in one window but maybe it might take more than one window? TM and Co have poisoned words such as 'project' and 'journey' and I'm not advocating another 5 year build to nothing but there's surely some middle ground between that and expecting an instant overhaul and promotion within 12 months. TM left the squad in a state, I was resigned (but not happy about) us having a midtable finish. Anything else would be a bonus. 

Why does everyone seem to think Poveda is a player that needs replaced?

Trousering? Aka taking money out of the business?

Why on earth would they be putting 8/10m a season in via share capital then?

This is the bit that doesn't tally up for me with all the consoiracy theories that fly around. Venkys as far as I'm concerned are incompetent and irresponsible. None of it is deliberate, they're not trying to run the club like a shit show, they just can't run a football club. Quite what they'd get out of deliberately mismanaging the club I didn't know especially as it costs them 10s of millions each year

i honestly think if venkys gave jdt half a billion quid to spend and he bought 11 internationals there would still be moaners on here🤔

Exactly. Players dismissed before a ball is even kicked. I remember the bitching and moaning last year when we signed van hecke...

Prostate exam takes place.

The Doctor walks in and says "Afternoon Mr. rebelmswar, who was that?"

"The good news is I can't see any issues with your prostate. The bad news is I'm the janitor"

Right now sitting in a hospital room in just a gown waiting to be manhandled by a doctor for a yearly physical. Still feel more secure than I do about our trasfer policy.

When the prostate exam comes make sure you can't see both hands...

5 MINIUTE WARNING...

...till my sausage rolls are ready for lunch. Any transfer gossip today? 

I would wet myself laughing if united didn't take 3 points here. 

Thought that second looked offside all day long
