Its the way the same posters swing between wild optimism and the cynical depths of despair based on every single result.

The ones that really get me are the posters who take a dislike to a player/owner/director of football and have to tell everybody in every thread.

It wasn't . Paul wrote the lyrics to We can work it out , this is what he said about it ;
"I took it to John to finish it off, and we wrote the middle together. Which is nice: 'Life is very short. There's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend.' Then it was George Harrison's idea to put the middle into 3/4 time, like a German waltz. That came on the session, it was one of the cases of the arrangement being done on the session."
It was released as a double A side with Day tripper written by John.
John wanted Day tripper to be the A side. He was over ruled by the management / record co.
We can work it out had the greater airplay.
Paul is also , more importantly , reputed to be a blue.
 
So how good is this guy? Who would be a good comparison? I did the obligatory YouTube vid and must say I was slightly concerned that 4 of the 5 mins was sliding tackles.. not that I don’t like a sliding tackle but refs nowadays are unable to distinguish between a good one and a bad one..

I watched a few different videos and he stayed on his feet a lot which I like. He's a powerhouse for 22 with fantastic upper body strength and really good pace too. He and Holgate would certainly allow us to play a high line more often if we want to press teams. He reminds me of a left footed Vincent Kompany, and any left footed addition to our current squad is very welcome.

My concern, as always, is that we tend to judge our defenders by what they do badly, rather than what they do well. These short videos rarely expose players weaknesses so I'm not sure if anybody on here has seen a lot of him in the French League and can give an extra insight in this regard.

There does appear to be a lot of press around United at the moment, which is also worrying if true. But at the end of the day I do think CB is possibly our best position as regards existing personnel and other areas, including right back, are more in need of attention. It would be nice if we got him but I'm not going to lose any sleep if we don't.
