Like Antti Niemi?

A lot of this United team are extremely highly rated. It’s the one thing the club has managed to do well in recent years, snapping up some extremely highly rated young talents. Obviously JJ Gabriel already getting lots of attention because of the talent he has at such a young age (still only...

After watching United against Fiorentina earlier, and now watching this, Idrissa Gueye is so much better than anything we have in his role. Miles ahead of Ugarte. He’s still such a classy player.

Fofana would be a quality signing. Seen a fair bit of him, he’s got serious potential. Was convinced Chelsea would go for him.

Oh believe me, you can!!! Plenty material there

Does Hugh Barr count? Played in the 1930s. Just a random bit of info that stuck in my head having grown up with an Everton fanatic. (He had a poster with every Irish player (both North and South) to represent Everton hanging in our room.

The weakest, most cowardly centre half I’ve ever seen at the club. And I’m old enough to remember the loan spell of one William Prunier. Goes to show how much of a mess United are that he has lasted so long there. Same could be said for quite a few of them.

“Brother!!”

He used to drive me insane at United, the amount of attacks he’d feck up by passing it straight to the opposition. So inconsistent, but could then hit a worldie into the top bin. His highlight at the club was having a seagull using his mouth as a toilet!! What ever he was before, he is now like...

Brighton leaving Evan Ferguson on the bench again, maybe the Irish media had it right this week with talks of Brentford coming in for him on loan before the end of the window.

Ashley Young reminds me of the time my mates convinced me to come out of retirement and my first game back I was just fouling everyone and trying not to vomit after every sprint. Past it, finished, never that good to begin with. Him I mean, not me. I was class!

Yeah he dropped off slightly due partially to a few injuries, which is to be expected at his age. But their would still be massive interest in him so his price would be high.

An obligation would be well north of 70m, weren’t they rumored to have told arsenal and United last summer they’d have to get close to 100m for him

He’d be ideal for a lot of clubs, I’d imagine IF it’s true, that Brighton will have the luxury of looking for a big loan fee

There’s talks in Irish media of Brentford looking at taking Evan Ferguson on loan for the season. A deal a lot of clubs will look to try to jump on if true
