Was hoping we might take advantage of this brief pause in league fixtures to replace the manager. Probably would have happened by now if it was going to, sadly.

Another £60M walking on a free this summer too when Daka, Winks, and Periera contracts end.

I doubt there will be incomings if we don't get some out first. Unless very cheap wage and a loan.

He plays like he has no confidence in the team around him and feels he has to do it on his own. Can't blame him for that really, I feel the same way. I reckon he'll be pushing for a move away if the opportunity arises.

I'd not be risking James or Fatawu for this.

He is a real talent, and young, with lots of potential. I'm sure he'll have offers from Prem clubs and fully expect him to go this window or in summer.

He'll read that and think "Challenge accepted!". Then appoint Russel Martin as our new manager who reintroduces Vestergaard, Faes, Thomas, Soumare, and Winks in his strategy to give everyone a clean slate and a fresh start!

Over half a million a week! That is beyond disgraceful, it's actually disgusting.

Dear Lord, now that the Antonio deal is off please don't let the club hand Daka a new 5 year contract on improved terms.

I'd like to see the stats for duels across the league this season. I know we were outfought in all areas last night by WBA, and I suspect this is the case in pretty much all of our games and is a large factor in why we concede so much.

Ah but we DO make almost the most unforced errors leading to goals in the league. It's just not fair to say we are not good at anything

Wilson will go to whoever offers the best money. And that is extremely unlikely to be us.

Is that the temperature or the XG?

If he’s been training with us then we are in an ideal position to assess whether he will be good enough & fit enough to improve the team.

I’m not a fan of Cifuentes myself either. I think he’s an adequate but unexceptional manager. But the squad is just not good enough. I think we should be doing a bit better than we are, but not good enough for a playoff place. Around 10th is my expectation.

Not as simple as that. I’d argue we’ve lost far more talent than that and not replaced with equal quality. 2024–25 Vardy, Iheanacho, Dewsbury-Hall, Praet, Iversen. 2025–26 Hermansen, McAteer, Justin, Ndidi, El Khannouss, Buonanotte.

I shall be listening to this on the radio. Shame to miss what is obviously going to be a festival of football played to the very highest standard, but there you go. I suspect that I'll get over it in time.

If they don't turn around this season and start fighting for the playoffs he'll never sign. And we'll lose Nelson & Fatawu too I expect. The downward spiral will just get worse.

My thoughts exactly. Not convinced that either Skipp or Choudhury are consistently good enough long term but we have to be far stronger defensively. Could also drop Mavididi for S. Thomas, at least first half.

And their political alliances have been weakened very significantly. It is far from certain that their empire will survive.

They have to do something about the defence. We simply cannot have any kind of challenge, or recovery even, conceding the amount of goals that we do.

Can’t wait for the season to be over

2-0 is a very dangerous score

We’re bringing on the big guns now. United should be afraid.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see the youngsters get a start here. I suspect there’s some very tired legs .
