That is not a bad midfield 3 in my opinion

I hope we can upgrade all 3 in the summer if we stay up

Well the discussion on the manager thread would suggest you are incorrect. Most people believe the manager is in place, some clearly don’t yet (or are flapping about it- unnecessarily in my opinion). Until there’s official confirmation no one knows for certain unless they wish to reveal their ITK credentials.

I'm also wondering about the delay but seems all the newspapers aren't worrying. Their back pages take it as read that he's busy at work already.

Sky are saying straight loan with no option to buy

This signing probably indicates Lampard is thinking of a midfield three. There’s just no way in the world VdB can play in a two especially as we don’t have a defensive mid.

He’s a link player who likes to get on the end of stuff in the box. I’m hoping we don’t do what we did with Klaasen and try and play him as a deep lying midfield dictator.

This hopefully helps solve how the ball gets to the strikers now, but still issues for me on how we move it through midfield. The centrebacks can’t pass and there’s not a deep lying midfielder who can create.

Billy Gilmore next season.

We need midfielders, his young, needs game time and has something to prove after being shafted by Ole since he arrived at Utd so lets give him a chance and encouragement

Man U supporting brother in law reckons a loan away from them would be good for the lad because he's hardly done anything with them.

We all know the manager is in place.

Is he. Who is it then? Moshiri is doing this...are you certain? Is it not possible some agent will suggest someone coaching in Syria and Mosh will go for it a day after

I hope we can upgrade all 3 in the summer if we stay up

You paying?

 

[Scally1878]

Only time will tell if he'll be a good signing, still really excited about this.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Billy Gilmore next season.

Gilmore is a good player, would be amazed if Chelsea let him go though

 

[TheNinja]

No more prem loans then

 

[maccavennie]

We paying the full 120k?

They asked us to but we said no and offered 150k instead

Donny Van De Blammos linking up with his old pal from Ajax, might be time for a UCL run next season

“Obviously can’t be for footballing reasons”

Christ is this how far we’ve fallen! We’re talking Palace here ffs

To be fair if I was him, I would be heading to palace ?

Great signing, wasted on the united bench.

For those who went to the match, he tore us apart in Pre season. Strange united have never attempted that starting line up since. From what I remember they were 3-0 up in the first 30 mins. He went off at HT for Pogba and united were terrible through the middle after.

A section need to stop writing off talents we could only dream of signing a few years ago.
