    Oh let me be clear, I wouldn't be against signing him (wages permitting) I just wouldn't be overly excited either.

    Last summer you were claiming him abysmal and a joke! Good to see you've come around. :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    I would. I think it would be a better signing than Van Dijk. He is proven in the league for one.

    I said that I thought he was taking a gamble and that it could bite us on the back side, but I was wrong. What difference does that make to this thread?

    Sky say

    NEW BOYS EYE DJURICIC
    The Daily Mirror say Premier League new boys Bournemouth and Norwich are both keen on a move for Benfica's Filip Djuricic.
    The Serbian midfielder, 23, spent time on-loan with Southampton last season

    Can't seem to find the Mirror article though.

    Not even Fergie could do anything with Bebe.

    Not smoking anything interesting at the moment, just stating my opinion. I had a season ticket from 2009 onwards however I didn't renew my season ticket last season due to work commitments, so I guess what you're saying is only season ticket holders can have an opinion? <doh> I've been there for 2 of Yoshida's seasons with us, and watched last season's games either via streams or at St Marys when I could get a ticket so have a fairly good idea of Yoshida's ability. He has improved hugely in the last year in all areas of his game, and as I said, in my opinion he is a better option that Evans as he is established in the side and won't cost the earth in wages. Evans is certainly not an upgrade on Yoshida

    What homegrown United reject that has had spells as a regular in the United first team and then been sold has ever gone on to be more than average?

    Genuine question.

    Totally agree Yoshi is a better player than Evans.

    Good point. I can only think of Darren Fletcher, in recent years.
    On the subject of Yoshida; he has improved substantially since his transfer to SFC. Nothing dramatic, just gradual increments of improvement. And now he's a very reliable CB, who is able to come in, at short notice, or as a substitute, and give a good performance. I have no real concerns with Maya, though we do need a couple of quality CBs. One at a bare minimum.

    I know what you mean but Pogba, Pique and Rossi jump out as exceptions.

    Pogba and Pique weren't really homegrown, in the same way I wouldn't say Sam Gallagher is for us. I'd say Lallana was as we signed him at 12.

    Pogba and Pique came into united at 16, I think from other clubs.

    Yes typical of the Japanese to use a Kaizen approach to personal improvement!
