It’s mad to think that the next 40 hours are so will probably decide whether Jose lasts the season or not(imo)

No more additions and I see him gone before he he seasons out.

ronaldo only play 30 games for sporting when we signed him, dalot will surprise a lot of people

Lets hope you're right.

But I doubt he's ready to walk straight into the first team with just 6 senior games under his belt.

In any case, the point made was about team selection for the Leicester game on Friday.....for which Dalot is injured and unavailable.

Would we not be better off with Young at RB (as he's naturally right footed)

And Shaw on the left side?

Time to start looking at alternatives from what we've got.
Valencia seems to be getting more injury prone.

Unless something comes totally out of the blue at this stage....we ain't signing a full back this summer

Things are that bad I'm actually expecting a decent season now. Full on siege mentality

To develop a siege mentality you need a squad of players who will take outside criticism personally and who will then band together in their efforts to prove people wrong. Nothing about our squad makes me believe they have that sort of mentality.

I'd like to be optimistic, and stranger things have happened than a group of professional footballers getting some luck and going on a good run of results.

But this is a squad with some serious, long standing deficiencies that aren't going to go away overnight. If it was just about one or two players then perhaps we might get lucky and they might perform well enough to see some sort of success. But it isn't one or two players, its the right back that poisons our attack, the left back with no bottle, the non existent central defensive partnership, the star midfielder who doesn't want to bother, the non existent threat on the right wing, the complete lack of consistency from any of the deeper laying attacking options, the lack of alternative to Lukaku.

Optimism would be hoping that one or two players could finally step up and be the answer to one or two of those problems. But it takes a hell of a lot of optimism to think that 6/7 players are all going to step up and answer all of those problems. Thats why a strong transfer window was so vital, to address as many of those issues as possible and let the intangibles cover the rest, a strong transfer window we did not get.

The only optimism I have is that Jose raises some hell on his way out the door.

Love The Sopranos too but B.B. is just perfect for me.

Anyway. Em. I’m gonna need some meth if Utd don’t sign someone.

He's not a ready made option for our first team.

And is injured anyway so won't be available Friday night

Its well before that. Think its the start of Season 2 (The episode on the road where Sophia runs away). T-Dog cuts himself and when Daryl goes rooting in Merles bike for meds you see a big bag of the blue Meth.

Is that because Merl had a bag of blue meth and Darryl said something to the effect of he used to buy it from a skinny white guy that called everyone bitch?

Yep haha

Different show but I love it. Nothing will ever be Breaking Bad.

Agreed but I initially found it very slow in first half of first series. BCS feels like one long, slow walk sort of near B.B..

God I miss B.B. now just thingy about it. Cranston was just immense.... Say my name!!!!

Whats bonkers about it? First choice RB Valencia is out with a short term injury. Dalot, his understudy, is also short term injured. Young, first / second choice LB is short term out of action. Darmian can cover all of them in the short term,with time to still sell him. Seems prudent to me, not bonkers
