Letting Alexis go is absolute bonkers, I'm all for youth but we already have absolutely no depth and it's literally just starters and kids left now. We're in 4 competitions, including lengthy Europa travels, our youth would have gotten plenty of chances Alexis or not.
If we suffer 2 injuries in attack we won't even have youth left definitely need more bodies.
Alexis is abysmal and signing him epitomised everything wrong with the club in the past few years. He needed to go. Perfectly willing to run the risk of being a bit short numbers wise in attack to get him out. Hope he never plays another game for the club again.
I don't particularly mind him leaving but to let him and Lukaku leave without replacements is baffling.
I do agree with that... which is why I've said since the summer with it being obvious Lukaku was out... that I wouldn't have minded Sanchez staying. But on the flip side it's entirely understandable as to why he's leaving.
And don't underestimate how much of it is Sanchez wanting to go either. Per several reports he never really got on with anyone in the locker room except for Lukaku. That was reported prior to his links to Inter so it makes sense that he'd potentially be pushing a move to Inter. Don't think OGS particularly minds not getting in the way given his struggles last season.
Rochdale at home.
We should be seeing both Gomes and Greenwood there.
Yep, was exactly the kind of draw I was hoping for, especially being at OT. Perfect opportunity to give our academy players a game, the two you mentioned and we should also see Tuanzebe at CB too

I'd hope to see Chong, Garner, Gomes, Greenwood & Tuanzebe in that.

They should all be starting.
Probably alongside the likes of Smalling, Young, Matic, and Mata

I'd personally start them all except Garner. I think he'll be brought on off the bench, he looked the least ready of the four in preseason (not including Tuanzebe in that four as his situation is different). Will be very disappointed if the rest of them aren't starting though, it's the perfect opportunity to give them a start.
Well anyway, let’s stay on topic here. Do we think the meeting was about a new contract at United? A future transfer to Real? Do we think Pogba is unhappy at United?

Probably went something like this....
Mino: “Paul’s here, Paul doesn’t want to be here, but give us a nice raise and he’ll try his best til next summer.”

Alright as was said before let's leave it out now. The thread starts to go back on topic then someone brings it up again and it goes down the rabbit hole over and over.
He’s like your 4th best cb surely Jones and rojo should be out the door before him 😂
Several of us in here think he's being moved on ahead of Jones because of his lack of ability on the ball. Ole wants his CBs to be comfortable in possession, and Smalling just isn't.
I doubt we could find a buyer for Jones regardless tbh I think we're stuck with him until his contract runs out sadly.
Smalling is arguably better than Lindelof. Better in the air, 1v1 defending and much quicker. Has to rotate round the ball when he passes it though. Big mistake letting him go as the current batch of defenders are so bad in the air.

Jones is a better CB imo but him, Rojo & Bailly have a Sturridge like injury history..
Wouldn't mind Smalling stay.

It's actually quite impressive how you manage to be wrong about virtually everything football related.

I wouldn't mind Smalling staying either, but as we're talking about who is 4th choice, not 1st or something I'm happy to trust Ole's decision on that. They should only be getting cup games so it's not too bad.

In your opinion...
haven't you criticised me for choosing style over substance? Lindelof is a more comfortable footballer, but Smalling is a much better pure defender.
Rated E For Everyone.

Should be a cheap game that could be great watching.

2 hours 36 minutes late... unusual for you.
They should all be starting.

He’s going nowhere this summer. End of topic.
No, we should be seeing Lingard and Dan James there.
Probably went something like this....
Mino: “Paul’s here, Paul doesn’t want to be here, but give us a nice raise and he’ll try his best til next summer.”
Woodward: “Sounds good to me”
probably
Didn't see that one coming
