Why is he still a freebie though.He is probably looking for a similar contract as he had with us last year,hence him still being available. Did very well for us last year and has a touch of class but where would he play if we resigned him.Don't see where he fits in if we continue with the high press.

Who said that though?I seen a few say IF we sign Douglas we would all surely be happy with our window.It will be a good window IF we sign Douglas or another left back of similar ability.

https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/18794102.rovers-progressing-deal-leeds-united-full-back/ I see a bit of speculation that Boro are after Danny Rose, thought they were meant to be cutting back on spending, I doubt Levy would allow him leave without a big proportion of his wage being paid

This year's first choice back five will be Kaminski,Nyambe/Rankin Costello, Lenihen, Ayala,New left back as we will sign someone before deadline so it isn't the same back four as 4 years ago is it?Both Lenihen and Nyambe are better players now

That isn't what sparks rover said ,he said we have the same defence as four years ago.I didn't realise Kaminski and Ayala had been playing for us 4 year ago, and Lenihen had not long started playing centre half at that point.

Are you messing about on a wind up or do you just not have a clue? Some of the stuff you come out with. Mols better than Buckley?If Mols is up to it why has he gone on loan to the Spanish 4th division,I'm sure if he is as good as you say then he would have been scouted by other EFL teams and signed. Dack an awful signing and crap player when we bought him according to you. Now you are calling Ayala a carthorse despite him being one of the best defenders at this level in years gone by and only 29 years old. The same defence as four years ago.As has been pointed out both Lenihen and Nyambe are better players now,Ayala a top defender at this level and if we sign Douglas he has two promotions to the Prem in last 3 years. Talking nonsense, you must be on a wind up

Nixon reckons Swansea favourite to sign him. Be a good signing for them but speculation that Ayew could be on the move to the premier league he would be a loss

Douglas would be a very good signing my only concern is his injury record.Two promotions in the last 3 seasons his experience could prove invaluable if we are in the mix for promotion come season end

So you are saying Brentford paid us 3 million up front for Raya?,They didn't like we didn't pay it all up front for Gallagher. The manager dropped Raya, criticized him through the media,Raya asked to leave all things you conveniently ignore to suit your argument. Do you know that Gallagher doesn't have clauses in his contract that will up his fee like Raya?You don't know. You have said often we don't spend money,if I could be assed id go back and find them. Raya transfer fee didn't cover half of what we spent last summer. Beginning of summer you almost guaranteed us all that we wouldn't pay a fee for a goalkeeper, now we have you claim it was Raya's fee that paid for it.You are just changing things around to suit your argument.

Yeah and a transfer embargo is nearly as bad as a points deduction,last time we had one it was a nightmare and played a very significant part in us getting relegated a couple of years later

Did Gallagher not come in for 5 million so tell me how Raya covers Gallagher and Kaminski? To you and me Raya might have been a prized asset but he wasn't to the manager. You also think Bradley Johnson and Lewis Holtby came here without significant signing on fee's?Most certainly in the case of Holtby who had a big money offer from China.Did Tosin cost us nothing too? What about the spending the summer before?

Yeah so why do you keep banging the drum that we haven't spent any money when in the last 3 years we clearly have? Like I said one player has been sold in the last 3 years in Raya for a massive 3 million.The clubs who have spent have either had parachute payments or have sold their better players to fund incoming transfers. You mentioned Sheffield Wednesday and Derby County,they both finished below us last season and I'd put money on us finishing ahead of them this season too and neither of them have been promoted despite big spending. I'd be disappointed if we don't bring another couple in before deadline but I'm a realist and recognise it will most likely be loans as despite what you say no fans being allowed back in will impact on every club in the EFL

We have spent in the last 3 years though.You don't seem to acknowledge that.The big spenders in this division have sold star players to spend money.We haven't sold anyone. Yeah we have lost a few from last season and the wage bill has been reduced for now but we have a few valuable assets that are coming into the last year or two of their contracts who will all want improved terms to renew. I'm not defending Venkys here but I much prefer the way the club is being run now compared to s few years ago when we were handing out ridiculous contracts,Murphy, Etuhu,Best etc etc that led to a transfer embargo and put the club back years .

I'm not suggesting we overspend but there won't be any need to sell in this January's market if it is suspended for a year as expected. It will give us a bit of leeway,so if we don't go up this year then we can sell an asset or two in the summer

6)this season won't be counted toward FFP.Most clubs hardly have any income.They are waiting till window is closed to make an announcement to prevent silly spending

Something you heard or your opinion?

I do think we will bring in another couple but will most likely be loans and last minute like last week. Money is clearly tight so we will be waiting till we can get a couple of deals done as cheap as we can.

The player and manager have said they see his long term future playing further up the field. He has done well when played at full back but he doesn't see or want his future as a permanent full back .

20 million is no good for our promotion chances if we can't spend it. It's too late into the window to entertain any offers for Armstrong. Personally don't see any Prem team bidding what we would want for Armstrong now.The teams looking to sign players are targetting the like of King and Sarr

Or gives him a headache as Lenihen isn't guaranteed to be fit

Mount is a good young player but he isn't a better player or in better form than Grealish. Castagne will be moving to left back for Leicester when Perreira is back.He was bought to replace Chillwell.

Bournemouth have rejected a 13 million West Ham bid for King 'Bournemouth reject West Ham's £13m King offer' https://www.skysports.com/share/12101595

Rumours that Williams is the Republic of Ireland player who has tested positive for Covid

Media saying King asking for 90 grand a week if true then it would be quite an expensive deal to do

Has he not been fit?As Shaw has been first choice and now Telles has joined Williams will be further away from the first 11. They were talking to Southampton about loaning him out,I heard that it fell through as Southampton wouldn't commit to guaranteed playing time. I just think if he was genuinely in United's thoughts to play this season then signing a left back wouldn't have been a priority to them.Not saying he won't make it at United as he has looked very good but if it's only going to be cup games and under 23s for him then surely it would be better he is loaned out until at least January
