Wilson has not played well there
[/quote]

Maybe, but he has been written off very, very quickly in that position.
With regard to the LB position I wonder what will happen to Insua now his loan spell is up.
[/quote]

i'd give insua a go in preseason and see how he does. He's a competent option
 
He wasn't when he went on loan in the first place. Let's by all means take another look at him now, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
 
He started 12 games this season for one of the worst Galatasaray teams there have been for a while.

I think he's out of contract too
 
TBF that season the whole team were poor and he got no real cover from LW did he?

i'd be tempted to try him, prob wouldn't get much money for him and he would do a job as a fit back up

more than can be said for aurelio *sniff*
 
An ITK from the Rattle saying we have sent representatives to talk to Mata (and his farther - his agent) today. We can meet the valuation, its now upto him where he wants to go.

We could do worse.

I thought we'd all had enough of players with shit hair?

Insua might not get injured much but I wouldn't exactly call him fit either
[/quote]

Not even with that big J-Lo arse? 8)
 
I think Wilson needs to go on loan to get some games.

I'd send Suso on loan as well, as the reserve league is a waste of time.
 
So the Daily Mail reckon United have "won the race" to sign Ashley Young for £15m .

Young , Enrique and Downing ....there is alot of debate about them on here , reminds me a little of Valencia .He was linked to us but lots of people didn't fancy him , united went in and got him and although he not world class he's added alot to their team and is a 1st team player . Wonder if the same will happen with some of these players .

Personally i really think there is a lack of quality players out there who are not already with big teams so big signings could prove troublesome . I'm not saying to buy crap but I think it will be very hard to get the top players everyone seems to be demanding .

Blasphemy.
 
Valencia had amazing pace and power and that shone through even at Wigan. He improved as a player at United but he had a lot to work with.

I didn't expect him to be as good as he turned out to be fair.
 
Can someone please remind me what the homegrown rule is? As is how many players do we have to have in the 25man squad? Or is it the matchday squad that have to be homegrown?

[/quote]

A home grown player is defined as one who, irrespective of his nationality or age, has been registered with any club affiliated to the Football Association or the Welsh Football Association for a period, continuous or not, of three entire seasons or 36 months prior to his 21st birthday (or the end of the season during which he turns 21).
So though Cesc Fabregas certainly isn’t English, he’s definitely homegrown because he’s been with Arsenal since the age of 16.

The other important aspect is that players aged 21 or under do not count towards the 25 man limit. So though teams must name a squad of 25, they are free to field players not in that 25 man squad provided they are aged 21 and under. For example, Mario Balotelli is only 20 years old and so will not count towards Man City’s 25 man squad limit.

Clubs must include eight home-grown players out of a squad of 25.

----
Simply put, 8 of the 25 spots are reserved for "home grown" players. So if a team doesn't have 8 home grown players (not likely), they can register 7,6,5...etc but they can not have a squad total of 25 players.
So if Everton only registers 7 home grown players they can only have a maximum of 24 registered premier league players but as mentioned above, if the player is u21 he doesn't have to be registered at all.

The rule is pretty much a joke that leaves a lot of loop-holes. What it basically limits is the number of senior foreign players. You are "only" allowed to have 17....
 
Ross is spot on re "premiership proven".

It's a bullshit line used to excuse over-inflated fees and underachievement.

Did anyone ever refer to Thierry Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo or Alan Shearer as premiership fucking proven?

Here's a list of "premiership proven" players:
Neil Ruddock
Oyvinhd Leonhardsen
Jason McAteer
Emile Heskey
Jermaine Pennant
Joe Cole
Harry Kewell

All bullshit expensive premiership proven junk that have helped us win fuck all for 20 years. And niw we have fans justifying Stewart Downing, Jose Enrique and heaps of other mediocre wank cos there good bench options and are better than what we have in that position. Are you immune to success or something?

Meanwhile Sir Alex and United are on 19.

Heskey was vital in helping us win the treble.
 
Ryan you completly missed the point, and have the exact same argument as Ross did earlier i the thread.

Have a read through the answers mate.

So we're up against Spurs and the Gooners for Parker. Let's see how that pans out.

Yep. Thats it sadly.
 
According to reports in Correio da Manha, Liverpool have agreed a fee of £25m for Benfica left back Fabio Coentrao.

Kenny is set to move for the 23-year old full back who has been linked with a string of high profile clubs across Europe, including Premiership rivals Chelsea and Man City.
