How do you know he doesn't have a plan b? Did you know about Fraizer coming back? And I suspect a lot of the Premier League clubs are still assessing who they'll let out on loan. I'm prepared to believe this might not be straightforward.
I agree it isn't straight forward but the clock is ticking way to one fast when we don't have enough players in and learning the system.
Dasilva has gone to Charlton and Borthwick-Jackson isn't good enough. I like that we keep deals secret until they're pretty much done.
I'm sure if he had he'd have been first out the door. That's peanuts for any Premier League club to take a punt on.
Notice a question mark after i mention plan b/c This is getting tiresome we'd save alot of nitpicking if people read posts properly lol
Ddnt see the dasilva deal to go back to charlton on loan was one i thought we'd get through slutskys roman link I disagree on borthwick jackson he didnt look out of place in the premiership under vangaal, fitness problems at wolves but ability wise hes good enough
As far as we know, he has no buyout clause at all, he certainly won't be going for £4m and according to the Geordie press, Newcastle aren't actually interested in him at all.
The sun needs banning on here, you get more sense out of viz Probably the most inaccurate transfer source out there The hull daily mail reporter will jackson should be embaressed quoting the sun, very lazy journalism up your game son
The figure of £12 million had been bandied about by some, but met with lukewarm enthusiasm by those I've talked to recently. My favourite quote? 'We won't be after Clucas, he's just a poor man's Jack Colback'.
Issue with Dasilva has been whether he's physically strong enough yet. He didn't get in for Wolves because Doherty was preferred. We can do better, much better. If we're looking for Chelsea loanees, bring in Dujon Sterling and play Aina at right back.
You do realise the Sun broke the Stewart news right? Alan Nixon has a tonne of contacts. He's very reliable, the others not so much.
Ehab, if you're even considering allowing Clucas to leave for £4M you need to give your ****ing head an almighty shake. How much do you think his replacement would cost, one of equal quality? Whilst typing I'm thinking that you'd probably bring a Fleetwood Town reserve in on a free ffs!
We've probably already got him in Stewart. Of course spending the same amount when one must have 30+ PL starts under his belt...
If it was nixon breaking the news then fair enough As it stands its somebody called mike mcgrath who probably spouts crap like the majority of sun sports reporters I dont think you can blanket categorise all the sun/mirrors reporters as reliable when it comes to city news just because one reporter got one right, so yup i did realise nixon was accurate, did nixon give stewarts name at the time or just generalise?
The reason Borthwick Jackson didn't play for Wolves, was because he wasn't fit and they weren't happy with his attitude.
Seems lambert deemed him abit too relaxed and error prone, easy to misinterpret as having a ravel morrison type attitude, this couple with the fact wolves had an inform fullback in doherty meant borthwick jackson didnt get any game time, at the time united wernt happy with the way wolves treat borthwick jackson and refused to loan them sam johnstone
Strange one as not alot on here seem to rate the lad purely due to the wolves episode when it could be a case of the manager just didnt want him , yet the united fans all seem to rate him and would like him to compete for lb rather than play darmien there
