Welcome to centre back FC! Ekdal Steve Worrall Delcroix Beyer Tuanzebe Humphreys If we add Mengi that’s 8 players for 2, possibly 3, positions. I get Delcroix will likely be moved on but that still leaves 7 which is crazy! Added to his pretty shocking injury record you just think why! Humphreys can...

I think Florentino will be a starter with Les possibly moving further forward.

Hannibal bench.

It's why I'm glad we did so much of our business very early doors.

A mate of mine is a massive hatters fan (had dinner with Brian Stein only yesterday) and just said Luton are having our kex down and he is *******

and all 3 did a better job than Amorim at United

Very strange at Man U. None of the managers that have come in since Fergie left has impressed me. None of the squads have been brilliant. For Man U to not have won the Premier League since Fergie left is a complete failure.

I think replacing Worrall would be a big plus. I think he's absolutely fine in the Championship, but not convinced in the Prem.

Loan him out to get his fitness & play every week.

Yeah it has to be loan only, surely. If we go down and he plays well this season he could be very useful for us.

So that's the excuse - change the requirements so they can offer an opinion

The way it's all going it'll be AI refereeing games within the next decade and it'll be a non contact sport

Happy for AI to do jobs that people can't do. Currently, that seems to be operating VAR.

We've certainly been handed the toughest start to the season.

Both Sheffields and Ipswich relegated would be funny. It won't happen, though.

I'd take Wrexham, Birmingham and Rovers.

Less money
Fewer people watching
Poorer quality

Been watching some Youtube reels of Florentino. He seems very good at intercepting, but like the brilliant challenge from Walker, a lot of players dropped like a hotpot - meaning even when he does completely legal and perfectly fine challenges and wins the ball, if we're against a top 6 side or one ...

Thought Walker was a 2 year deal

It does say 2027 here, so you might be correct.

Walker, Dubravka and Tuanzebe signed a one year contract for a reason. The likes of Hartman, Lesley, Tchaoun, Broja and Florentino wouldn't want to play in the Championship. Walker could easily play another season in the Championship; think he'd stay. Hartman, Lesley, Tchaoun, Broja and Florentino ...

The only problem I can think of is that we will lose pretty much everyone if we go down. I don't think that will happen. I think we'll lose 3-4 to 'balance the books' and anybody on loan-to-buy if we were to stay up, but think the majority we'll keep, plus have another solid transfer window and be ...

Good that Man City haven't got further away from us..

The whole VAR thing needs to be reassessed. If linesmen and referees are now changing their decision making because of VAR then the tail is wagging the dog. I don’t know a single football supporter who is in favour of it. It's the incompetent people using it, as opposed to the actual tool itself. M...

Looks like an incredibly busy day. The window this year closes at 7pm too.

I quite like watching deadline day, especially since Jim White left Sky Sports.

I'll expect the Flight Radar link or it's not happening

ollieclarets8

It appears to be very difficult to get someone as referee or on VAR who are both competent and neutral. There aren't many about in the Premier League.

ollieclarets8

It's very rare I hear someone who I think talks sense is also disrespectful towards Burnley. Level-headed pundits/commentators tend to at least have enough about them to put it across the right way if they think we'll struggle. Troy Deeney just comes across as someone who would have spent all his li...

He doesn't have the pace but he does have a good engine and football intelligence to play the current role of right back/wing back we have been using.

Played it enough times for Wales and done it well.

And if he isn't? Then he's wasted a year of development sat on the bench.

That doesn't make any sense. If we go off your logic, then we can loan or sell every other goalkeeper out as Dubravka might not get injured. And if he doesn't, we've just had Weiß and Hladký sat on the bench for nothing.

Mersons just said on Sky it should have been 6 or 7 to united, he's a complete bell end

Maybe 3 or 4 goals, but he doesn't seem to hide the fact he's not our biggest fan.

Anybody else think Walker won the ball when ref gave a Fk leading to first goal ?

Surprised someone had said he'd lost his pace as he clearly still has enough - seemed to get the ball and then catch the man, but still won it.

This one is interesting.

Looks like they go off there, which player has the most amount of bodily tissue offside!

Well the commentators, referees, VAR et al got the result they wanted.

Genuinely shocked. Even the correct decision doesn't go the correct way 99 times out of 100 at Old Trafford.

Started outside the ******* penalty area for a start!!

Cheating ref. Nothing close to a penalty.

ollieclarets8

For those with a stick, will it be shown on either EPL Burnley/Man U channels? MUTV appears to be radio commentary only.

ollieclarets8

Boro would remain with a 100% record if they win this. 4 wins from 4.
Sheffield United will remain on 0 points from 4.

Said the same thing. Him, Cullen and Les would be a solid midfield.

Defensive midfield. A pure number 6.

Could possibly allow Les to move further forward? We can't drop Cullen, so something has to give.
