In fairness if we took off everyone that folk on the match day thread demanded taking off every week -win or lose - we’d be left with just Ederson

There's some truth in that, but if you filter out the extreme hyperbole, you do get a sense for the way the game is going. If you prefer, watch the game back and Fernandinho was having less and less influence on things from around the 20th minute or so. He was mostly a onlooker by the time he was hooked.In fairness if we took off everyone that folk on the match day thread demanded taking off every week -win or lose - we’d be left with just Ederson
All about opinions, Jesus great back up, but to me not good enough to be a long term Kun replacement.
That’s a complete different debate
He is not as good as people are making out to be. Especially not defensively, not our needs. Need a more all rounded full back like Tagliafico or Alaba or someone.How can we not go for Telles? 20m is nothing. He is quality.
It's hard to filter out 90% haha.

No deal with one day to go... its clear to everyone we needed a LB and a CM (like Gundogun) who can dictate play from mid field.
Well, the positive is, Aké did not seem that bad a full back. And Gündogan will be fit again, post this break. No point in hoping with a day to go yeah.No deal with one day to go... its clear to everyone we needed a LB and a CM (like Gundogun) who can dictate play from mid field.
I wonder if they see an injury issue with left back again, whether they'll look at someone within the league, because Prem and EFL can do business till 16th.
When did we last go to the league for a player who actually plays in the first team?Well, the positive is, Aké did not seem that bad a full back. And Gündogan will be fit again, post this break. No point in hoping with a day to go yeah.

Don’t think premier league to premier league transfers are allowed, only EFL to premier league.Well, the positive is, Aké did not seem that bad a full back. And Gündogan will be fit again, post this break. No point in hoping with a day to go yeah.

He gets injured too, he did it last season also. Plus he isn’t clinical enough.With Jesus.
To the team that slapped us last week. Let's see, likely won't happen.When did we last go to the league for a player who actually plays in the first team?

What are you basing this on?
His numbers are staggering for a fullback. Regardless though, none of us know how well he will do for them. But United have essentially made a risk free signing bringing him in especially considering they're paying less than half his actual market value. It really does beg the question are we actually looking for a LB or are we content with Mendy? For the price of Telles, it seemed like a no brainer.

Well you can’t have 3 just in case 2 get injured at the same time unless you want a squad of 33. While there’s an argument Jesus is’nt clinical enough there’s also one the team score more when he plays.He gets injured too, he did it last season also. Plus he isn’t clinical enough.
You try and convince a quality striker to come when we have Aguero and Jesus. There’s a reason no other team has 3 frontline centre forwards in their squads. We are lucky to have 2.

Leicester were premier league champions we can only do business with the lower divisions anyway.To the team that slapped us last week. Let's see, likely won't happen.
Your right though it won't happen.
Our squad is nowhere near what it needs to be to seriously compete this season.
Not sure where we have been recruitment wise over the past 3 seasons other than asleep at the wheel.
Was playing in the premiership but ok.

One of few quality options on the market right now. Maybe not the perfect fit for us but would have provided Mendy with competition.
