Noooooo, I'm expecting someone in the know will be here to suggest that Nathan Tella's coming back in January, before the end of this week.

Could you kindly discuss linked players only on the thread please.

9/10 - some good calculated risks in there, potentially saleable assets that might appreciate in value, some real proven quality, more physicality than previous squads. Hard to get it absolutely perfect, but they're not a million miles off. Given our standing in the league and our (lack of) financia...

So just to confirm, some foreign transfer windows do remain open, but as it stands, the Tresorection is on.

While there's hope there's hope

willsclarets

So we'll have some players on the books without squad numbers I guess, probably tresor and delcroix?

willsclarets

It's the money they get for their rejects too. Liverpool got 219 million euros through the door, with a lot coming from unproven players at the top level

willsclarets

By all accounts, Parker has been very pleased with Tresor's attitude and application. Given he was happy to say certain players didn't want to be here, I doubt he'd go to the trouble of publicly praising him if it wasn't true.

willsclarets

Coming from a very bad injury and then trying to make an impact in a relegation threatened PL side isn't the best for either party. Ramsey needs game time and we need an available PL midfielder who is proven at being able to "play a killer pass in a tight area" We do now need some proven PL creativ...

willsclarets

Is Ramsay the latest player to have got better and better the less he plays? There’s a talented player in there and he needs game time, but realistically is that with us? Is that a luxury we can afford? A loan deal where he’s a guaranteed starter seems eminently sensible. No offence to you specific...

willsclarets

Tresor or Ramsey, not both imo

willsclarets

All fair points.

willsclarets

Depending on our system we obviously have different options wide and centrally. Given what we have, the combination of Anthony, Hannibal and Bruun Larsen looks a bit light in creativity. Forgetting the rest of our formation somewhat, which 3 of these players would you like to see behind the striker ...

willsclarets

If we sign Luis, I think he's probably dropped for a more attacking minded 10. For me we need to get back to a 4231/4411, and he unfortunately falls between two stools. Very good at pressing, excellent energy and a tidy player technically. But neither physical enough to warrant a place deeper nor do...

willsclarets

A few important souls want to keep it, I’m afraid. PL clubs voted 19 - 1 a year or so ago. Yeah sorry I meant the fans really. It's just a bit sad what it's done to the experience of a game. I think everyone saw the need for technology integration, but they've made an absolute mess of implementatio...

willsclarets

If VAR was taken away today, there'd be celebrations across the country at the next round of fixtures. Hardly a soul would want to keep it. It's the worst thing that's ever happened to the game.

willsclarets

Whatever is technically correct or otherwise, I absolutely hate VAR. Whether it's purposeful or not, the balance of decisions clearly go to bigger sides. And those executing it don't know their ars* from their elbow clearly. The one from the Fulham game is beyond a joke. It's absolutely killed the g...

Frustrating because I am not convinced we were in any danger there.

We weren't. I was feeling pretty comfortable there. The pass Diallo was running onto was running harmlessly out of play. We all but had a point, and popped it in the bin.

willsclarets

Checked the rules and it is a penalty. If you start tugging a shirt outside the area and it continues in the area, it's a "continuous foul" and a penalty. To get so close and do something so stupid with VAR watching, at Old Trafford, is mind boggling.

willsclarets

We were never going to be allowed to leave with a point there. Absolutely braindead from Anthony though, it wasn't even a dangerous pass.

One of those weekends where I feel like I just can't be bothered with watching us in this league. It's absolutely awful.

willsclarets

I fuc*ing hate the premier league

willsclarets

He was going nowhere. Why on earth did Anthony do that

willsclarets

Best 0-1 of all time playing like that. Credit to Man United, but we should've been expecting them to come out fighting. It looked like we were hoping they'd fold like a deckchair, just not at it or matching their levels of energy.

willsclarets

It appears we have had some smelling salts. Come on boys, let's equalise before HT. Would absolutely kill them

willsclarets

Today would be a marvelous day for Foster to notch. Really unlucky not to have his goal last week.

willsclarets

Expecting a very tough game today, how we start is so important. Fingers crossed we can keep them quiet first 20 and grow into the game

willsclarets

I really like the guy, but I have to say I'm suprised he's made a Brazil squad! That said Henderson has just made England's I suppose.

willsclarets

The goals themselves don't automatically give you a skyrocket value. Weghorst is an example of that who had a decent goal return for wolfsburg . Yes, Houtondji has different attributes, pace being an obvious one. But playing at a top premier league club requires a lot more than that. Maybe he does e...

Goodison News reporting that Everton are preparing a bid for Luís. They contradict the reports that say we have agreed a deal with Benfica. Exciting isn’t it?

This is the thing I was waiting for

willsclarets

Dyche was no fan of Vydra either for whatever reason. Definitely had a preference for certain characters. Which is fine we all do, but in Bamfords case it did seem a tad discriminatory.

willsclarets

Still has comfortably the best winrate of any manager at man united since Fergie. Obviously past his peak now, but if Man U had supported him following a 2nd place and a cup final they'd be in a better spot now

Nice pressure though.

Oh yeah! Don't get me wrong would love to see both of them in Claret n Blue!

willsclarets

Mikautadze and Luis would be borderline insane if we got them both. We'd be under a bit of pressure to stay up after that financial outlay!

willsclarets

Good I think... It'll be a pressure cooker at OT for them. Keep them quiet for 20 minutes and the anxiety will continue to grow... Possibly. I think this is probably last chance saloon for Amorim though. Just worry their players suddenly turn up. Anyway, never an easy game at old Trafford whenever ...

willsclarets

I can't decide if this is good or bad for us!

willsclarets

Got an early touch, then spent the next ten minutes searching for the ball. That’s not a criticism, I’m encouraged by it. He was making himself available, and looking for the ball despite not getting it too often. Happy he’s back, if he is back. As someone else stated earlier, like a new signing. L...

willsclarets

Lovely run across the line from Sonne. Love the little look Tresor gives before the pass too. Angles like that make you realise how impressive processing all that in real time is.

willsclarets

The alternative is that Parker does/did want him but Tresor wants out. If Tresor has worked hard and been respectful about it, then it's easy to see why Parker would be complimentary and frame it as him needing game time. Rather than "we only want players who want to be here"

willsclarets

You’d think he’d thrive in a side dominating possession somewhere. But it’s a big ask to put him in a side having to compete at their limits physically, every single game for 90+ minutes just to have a chance of getting something. You can see his quality but we’re not going to be in the position of...

willsclarets

Hard to tell whether Parker rates him and just being super careful with his integration, or he's miles off the reckoning and will be sold. It's only Reading and Derby, but he probably touched the ball 10 times in those two games combined and made two goals. I can't think of another player we have wh...

It was his 4th touch, I was counting. Real quality vision and pass.

Hope it's not his last, but fully expecting to see him disappear again before the window shuts

willsclarets

I would rather have Tresor on the bench for the next premier league game than Edwards to be honest. Anyone else gets the ball but Tresor at the end there, and we don't score.

willsclarets

The man has something no one else in our squad has. A killer pass.

willsclarets

One touch. Assist.

willsclarets

I hope to God he does something

willsclarets

OH MY

willsclarets

We have a guy who's got a better than 1 in 2 goal contribution ratio in Eredivisie and Belgium's top league. And he can't get on for 15 mins against Derby,

If you're not at it, any Eustace team will make it difficult for you. Just not sharp enough. So far.
