    It’s completely different. Amad is almost 10 years younger than Xhaka, he’ll want to play at the highest level over the next few years. If he does leave United then he’ll be joining a top team.

    It's a bit different. Xhaka wanting to return to the prem, last project before retirement or a Big pay contract in Saudi or mls

    Diallo just starting his career , potential to be one one of the best players of his generation. If he wasn't at man u, the top English clubs (man c, Liverpool, etc ) would buy him

    Yep. We could see Diallo back one day but there’s no chance of this summer.

    Would be an excellent signing for Forest, especially with a European campaign to come. Exciting times there

    I’d be tempted to keep him out the way of that game regardless. He won’t be getting a hero’s return for certain.

    I thought Anton was alright. Solid player with a bit of talent, we've had a lot worse.

    Just keep him on the bench to show them that whilst he was they best player, he’s just an unused sub for the big lads.

    Thought Anton was a walking bag of mistakes. Always looked far too relaxed and confident and it led him and us into the ****e far too often.

    Couldn't stand him as a player. Thought the insane amount (at the time) we spent on him was terrible business.

    Seriously mate, I think it may be yourself who's a little obsessed with Dan Neil.

    You've mentioned him more than I have and it clearly hits a nerve with you, I've never disrespected your opinion about Neil.

    What have I done other than express my honest opinions on a chat forum, call me daft and obsessed but I think that's poor tbh.

    Many other people have said much worse, than I have about Neil, yet you choose to highlight my comments ...

    ... I suspect that's because they ring true.

    If no one else agrees I'll happily accept I'm in the wrong and that his contract situation is bothering me and no one else.

    I haven't undermined him, this is just fifty people chatting on a forum, what we say makes no difference to any player ...

    ... if it does they need to get out of football before it affects them.

    I agree - I am expecting a RW loan like Bobb to come in and us to go for Amad next season

    I respect the fans who have always championed Dan Neil, he is one of our own, so I get it. My opinion is, his ability and influence has always been overblown. I’ve never seen what other fans have seen with him.

    On this forum alone, I’ve read folk compare him with Rodri and talk about him playing for Liverpool and England. I don’t think he’ll ever be anything more than a decent championship player. He’s too slow, he’s erratic anywhere in the final third (I know that’s not his game as a DM but some of our fans have said he’s the complete player) he’s not mobile enough, strong enough and is dispossessed far too easily in dangerous positions. He got away with it a lot in the Championship but in the premier league he’d cost us goals.

    He has too many weaknesses to ever go ‘right to the top’ and nearly always goes missing in the big games. I think he’ll drop down to the Championship again but I’d like to see him move abroad where a slower pace to the game would suit his style more.

    He turns 24 in a few months so he’s not a kid anymore and he’s at an age where he should really be looking to be playing first team football and it looks likely that isn’t going to happen here apart from maybe the odd cup game.

    We don’t know what’s happening with his contract but he should either sign a new one pronto, if the club are trying to keep him here or we should sell him and get a decent fee while we still can, rather than let him walk away for nothing. If he leaves, it will be with everyone’s best wishes and we’ll always remember him playing his part in returning us to the top tier.
