Would feel much better getting rid of Benny and bringing another CB in. It has to be THE priority, but our only links with CBS are tenuous at best. The odds also suggest that we are well behind others chasing the likes of Gibson and Smalling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benny did a job for us last season when we needed him but his performance against Spurs was hugely concerning and the tackle against Burton was shameful. I'd be happy if we got rid of him and got someone else in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justfoxes Posted 7 August 2017 Share Posted 7 August 2017 Really think Smalling along side Maguire would be an excellent pairing but could you see Shaky dropping big Wes ? Benny for some reason has become a right fruit loop this year that tackle at Burton was discraceful and Simpson way out of position and allowed Hazard a clear shot on goal does worry me a bit, he can normally be a cracking left back when on form I think he needs a bit of competition for that position. But this coming season I'm really hoping Shakey doesn't give into sticking with his old squad but he fields the best side we have at our disposable to put out and if that means replacing Morgan or Simpson then fair be it !

tiredclimb Posted 7 August 2017 Share Posted 7 August 2017 Benny has always seemed a bit of a wrong'un in my view. Definitely shouldn't be left with him as a back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes i think he'd drop morgan. Simmo wasn't out of position he just missed the challenge and had been left to deal with 2 players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerard Posted 7 August 2017 Share Posted 7 August 2017 I'd love to see us go out and get the best centre half we could get and start a new era with a new quality settled centre half pairing. Morgan and Huth as cover and maybe sell one of them in January or next summer depending on circumstances? Benalouane was a terrible buy at the time and nothing has happened since then that has changed my mind. If we got an offer of a couple of million I'd sell. Simpson is Mr Reliable, I'm not a fan of his type of full back but defensively he's rock solid and dependable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's absolutely no way a deal will be sorted in time before Friday. It may just mean the club receive an acceptable bid by then. So it's completed Monday. But seems they won't accept a new offer after then. They may just be putting it out to stop roma fvcking about and get on with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonFox Posted 7 August 2017 Share Posted 7 August 2017 I'd personally love to see Smalling over Gibson come into the club. Has a lot to offer, very quick and another personality fit. Unfortunately, I just don't see him leaving Man U at all this window, they still need him to provide cover, or even start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However Arsenal don't offer asking price and may not even want to sign him anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think Arsenhole don't want to sign him it's more Arseface Wenger playing mind games to put Mahrez off his game, I'll be really surprised if he goes there but I recon he won't go anywhere in this window which means he'll be on top form ready for the January window !!

Smalling is in the same boat as Keane, Maguire, Gibson & Stones. They will need to play regular Prem football this season to have a chance at the world cup. Smaling doesn't look like getting regular first team starts at Man U. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is a massive problem for us attracting them. We've already bought one centre back falling into the category of wanting game time for their England career. Is it likely we'll buy another and drop Wes straight away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callabinho Posted 7 August 2017 Share Posted 7 August 2017 Wes will really struggle this season, IMO he needs to be replaced. And Smalling isn't shit, get a ****ing grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
