Four incoming in the next 48 hours

Wilder has said that although he's happy with the midfield options, one of the players coming in is capable of playing there. As already mentioned Ethan Ampadu fits that and is an "international player".

Where has Ampadu's name (in regards to a move to us) come from? Or is just putting together the clues?

 

[SufcBilly]

How come?

Strong, a leader, played at top level for a long time, play as a 9 or 10.

32, injury prone, penalty merchant, absolute cock by all accounts

 

[Chabuddy G]

Ampadu

Ohh God yes

 

[AnstonBlade1]

Not going to be Dennis/Brewster... Yakou Meite!

 

[Snowflake]

Guessing this will be the foreign based player, as it seems we are looking at someone from abroad and its likely a loan as Wilder mentioned two loans and Burke and the two Derby lads are permanent deals. So it could be that youngster from Bayern maybe or the defensive cover in the middle Wilder talked of.

Another question I have is if we're bringing in two forwards then it means that we'll have Sharp, McGoldrick, Mousset, Burke and McBurnie plus another. Something's got to give surely, and that could only be Mousset leaving, if there is one to leave, there's no way McBurnie, Sharp or McGoldrick will go will be sold.

Why cannot we have 6 strikers ?

Because.

 

[Snowflake]

I'd love it to be Tammy Abraham but knowing United we'd sign Tammy Wynette (ask parents).

She was good up front

 

[wizadry]

I’d rather have Yakou bu than Yakou Meite.

He could strike a ball by the way.

 

[SufcBilly]

Prince on in half an hour

 

[metalblade]

I was told back in May we were getting a young un from Chelsea, where is he??

 

[Bladesman]

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Surely we need more keepers?

 

[OnmiEdson]

Nah never been fond of blue!
Only joshing...
I used to think we would have no chance of a top loan from PL Club but if it helps us take points off their closest rivals.....
But then do Chelsea now see us as a close rival ...?

 

[Sheffsteel]

Just said on Talksport that The Prince is due to be interviewed live from Saudi Arabia just after the 11am news....he’s on at 11.05am.

Just guessing. Fits the bill in terms of being a centre-half, someone who can also play in midfield and an international player. One who I imagine will be available for loan if not permantent.

 

[gaffablade]

Having 2 British

All ears

 

[Blade56]

Fair do’s Chris, never saw that one coming......

​

 

[wizadry]

Where would Ampadu fit in? Whose slot would he take? I don’t think he’ll get a starting slot, he has to be playing games at this stage of his career because he’s been advised by Giggs that he needs to be playing games now, for this reason alone I don’t think he’s coming to us this season, he simply won’t play enough.

Oh oh, you’ll get the wrath of Niceguyeddie talking such sensible bollox

 

[davidblade]

Not keen on Ampadu talented but lightweight, not a Wilder player

He reminds me of David Fucking Batty, simple shitty little 2 yard square or backward passes, he isn’t a patch on Norwood.

I understand what your saying - and perhaps this is the wrong instance to pick this up. But I think we need to get away from the 'who's slot does he take?' or 'who does he replace in the starting 11?'.

This is is the premier league - starting 11s don't stay up, don't achieve Europe, don't win leagues. It is more than ever a squad game.

We missed out on Europe last season because we couldn't cope with missing JOC, Fleck, Mousset, McG or giving calculated rotation to your Baldocks, Stevens, Norwoods.

We shouldn't be thinking about who new players replace but which positions they enhance and enable us to be stronger in.

My Derby mate thinks that Sharp is going there way on loan which is what helped us get the their two lads for a decent price.

Ampadu stats at RCB last night.

I wouldn’t normally but this specific player has been told he needs to be playing games and I don’t think he will be if he signs for us until we get 2 or 3 injuries.

But he could be better than Basham.

 

[snb69]

She was good up front

Better at defending set pieces, she knew how to stand by her man

 

[wizadry]

But he could be better than Basham.

What? Our player of the year? Not a prayer, Bash has got another 30 years left in him.

Jordan Henderson was player of the year and I bet Thiago Silva replaces him
