I don't think it will, but I really hope this isnt going to be another Charlie Austin 'what if?'.



Is that true or a gag?
I can't see it being another Austin either. Austin was successful at championship level whereas Reading seemed happy to see the back of HRK.

Also just seen the daily mail have put an article together of 9 players who've apparently been told they've got no future at United by Jose:

Defenders: Tim Fosu-Mensah, Paddy McNair, Tyler Blackett, Cameron Borthwick-Jackson.

Midfielders: Bastian Schweinsteiger, Andreas Pereira, Adnan Januzaj

Strikers: Will Keane, James Wilson

Out of them I probably wouldn't look at any of the defenders or Keane. Schweinstiger will be out of the question. Maybe look at Pereira. Would happily see us go for Januzaj (even though he's a little ****) and if Wilson was available permanently I'd go for him but probably wouldn't if he was only free to go on loan.

Keane had offers from a few prem clubs ( SSN )
 
OMG Fecking God. I go away for a few days and not only still NO signings,, now the manager has walked. <yikes><yikes> I blame OLM for losing control. <whistle>

Guess Hats "Bruce Out" small collective along with the evil boy blunder Escab Allam has finally driven the man out and won the day. <laugh>

At least the pre-season on field results have been ok. 4 clean sheets and a 2-2 draw @ Barnsley. The kids are doing the club proud at least.

To think that Barnsley only paid £500k for Tom Bradshaw. He would have been worth a gamble as well imo.

The Taxi Driver and Tea Lady will get a game come Leicester City the way things are going.

Escab Allam never has been fit for purpose in the role. What more proof is required. ?
 
Have we beaten last season's pages/posts without a signing yet? Wonder If guiness track a world record on this, we could set one beyond reach of all message boards this summer

I'd be shocked if they were getting rid of Fosu-Mensah. He looks a proper player, like, potentially from the top drawer.

Available for Loan perhaps. If that's the case I'd be pulling out all the stops to get him in. Perfect to cover Dave's injury and also an option in midfield.

I'd take Borthwick-Jackson to boot.

Problem with any player in out current situation, within budget or not.... no one in there right mind is going to want to come here unless they're desperate for a wage packet (and I know that why most of them go to a club) .. take other things into consideration like our training facilities which are likely the worst in the premiership, let alone the no manager, ****ed up owner, bigger ****ed up owners son, contracts with relegation clauses, team in tatters, no morale, supporters baying for blood....

Despite our mental owners, we're currently a Premier League football club and plenty of players will be happy to sign for us.

Just saw Akpom score for Arsenal on Sky, good poachers goal too, can't see him coming back on loan though if its a different regime

Just read that on the HDM, if we got any of those players, the irony that it was probably that deal that made SB walk last week.
