Re: Jacob Brunn Larsen
That sums up why we never score a goal. We only pass it a lot. Yesterday, at least 3 Newcastle players were positioned to score, every time. We drop our centre forward deep for the next pass. It is rubbish! Also why Sergio Aguero was suddenly out of favour at Manchester City. Tell me about it. When...

Again, this is a mixture of conjecture and fiction.

Just thinking about this a little more... Last time we went down we sold 4 players (Pope, Collins, McNeil, and Cornet) for a total fee of around £60m.

Re: The summer Trafford/Muric dilemma
Even allowing for Muric's two clangers, which were both absolutely honking and worse than any single mistake Trafford has made, Muric is still the better goalkeeper in every way and it isn't even close.
If we sold Muric, we'd need to bring in a new no 1, even for the Championship.
