    You'd think united would see our options up front and be sure he'll get games. Stewart won't play every game and this lad would be next choice. Think that's what we should be telling them. Just them them a did of aob and they'll know what we mean :)

    Guaranteed game time should never be included in any negotiations :emoticon-0145-shake

    A prime example of that not working, as far as I can remember, was Adnan Januzaj, who was fecking useless but we apparently had to play him, to our detriment, unfortunately :emoticon-0101-sadsm

    I can see why a loaning club would want to guarantee a certain number of games, but on the flip side that could be detrimental to development if he knows he is going to get a game anyhow.
    Make him play his way in and then be undroppable has to be the way forward

    I don't know if it's deliberate but we're slowly becoming a squad of adaptable players.

    Evans is a good centre half, from what I've seen, and Pritchard seems happy wide of through the middle and will want to take free kicks.

    O'Nien, Winchester, Gooch, etc can all play well in different positions.

    Perhaps it's all part of a plan so we don't end up depending on one man as we did with McGeady then Wyke.

    One at the back is a novel approach but it could mean more goals :)

    On the subject of some concerned over signings and the club statement of getting the right players in.
    Grigg is a perfect example of Donald wasting cash compared to some of the free signings and loans we've got in.

    And teams use more players than 40 years ago! The rules changes a few times too back pass rule and the advent of technology changing pitches, balks and equipment made game much faster. This causes more injuries and increases the need for more players. The days of 14 players in a season are long gone, but you already know that.

    Put 4 people on ignore, and it looks a lot better. They are a very vocal minority.

    I’ve put a few on - the issue is you can still see all the people having to constantly reply to them :D

    Nobody said the squad was strong enough, everybody knows we need some defenders in and a striker.

    Wish I had your faith, I think he will be clogging up the wage bill for another 12 months.

    Giving him a three and a half year contract was ridiculous too.
