Aye, at the price he'd cost, can't see more than 7m tbh, he'd act as good cover for Evra and push Evra for his place, would still allow Fabio time to grow into the role, and if Olsson works out we've signed a really good LB for a cheap sum.

This would be an awful signing. He has been poor for Blackburn all season

Hasn't been poor, but hard to look good in a side that bad. He was excellent for Sweden tonight and played pretty well against Ukraine too imo. The move up to playing with better players could definitely suit him

Would you say you'd do better? Or are you primarily a 20-goal-a-season-standard striker?

Thought he was pretty bad v the Ukraine tbh, and he was good tonight but he was up against Glen Johnson so I wont go overboard.

He has potential for sure, but he is far too inconsistent to be a United left back, he needs to play week in week out and continue to develop. He could still go either way though, I have been impressed with him in general throughout the season, but as a guy to challenge Evra for his spot I just don't see it right now.

Never said 20 goals. 10 to 15. Mainly against the weaker teams

If any player could stand out for Blackburn last season it would be a defender as they were under serious pressure in most games. It's like dunne and Given getting MOTM for Ireland all the time.
He was fairly poor last season and as United fans should know 2 good games at the Euros doesn't make you a good player

Yakubu scored 17 goals, kinda stood out to me, thats even more than you.
Hoilett only got 7 but stood out too.

Did I say only one player could stand out? No I did not
Did I say either of these players didn't stand out? No I did not
Is goal scoring the only thing that makes a player stand out? No it is not
