Gone

According to The Telegraph, 100m valuation lol

In the league this season he has 63 minutes in 12 appearances, averaging about 5 minutes per game. He has 50 minutes in 2 appearances in the Belgian Cup Then about 6 appearances for the U23s. According to BeSoccer, he got 12 goals in 23 games for Antwerp II in 23/24. Some sources say 12 in 21. Appreciate it might not be the most inspiring signing of a disappointing deadline day, but this guy has actually scored goals in his career and has had very limited senior game time, hence him joining up with the U21s here. Interesting story as well, same class/academy as Anthony Dennis who is doing great for Goztepe (apparently)

For me, thanks for the goals and the promotion, if someone offers good money, great memories, but what if that reservation turns out to be true and he can't do it under another manager or system. Of course, no guarantees in football, but I'll stand by the Reset Reset Reset idea. Even if we did keep him in the Champ, we all know he isn't a Prem player.

I'm all for him going, and the rest of them. Full reset needed - twice now Bednarek and co have shat themselves in the Premier League. If offered fees now for players, I'd take them and then more in the summer and see where we are at with a new DoF in Spors (if that goes through), and more lessons learned (ik they say that every 6 months or so, but still, let's see what Dragan cooks up I guess?) Squad is huge too.

Think one of the biggest differences under Juric is off the ball. KWP and Sugawara are pushing high (as opposed to ManU wing-backs) and restricting the space. One of the 3 CBs (often THB) is also very aggressive in pressing, and they are trying to go man for man, which is frustrating United. The two CMs in possession have been great at turning and looking for Sugawara and KWP, whilst KS and Dibling dritfing into space have caused problems. Clearly Juric is tactically astute and I like this return to an aggressive pressing style - at no point have United looked that comfortably playing out, and whilst they have broken the press a couple of times, we look committed in tackles and defence.

Reported as staying at Wolves in any case now.

It's not for real. Alfie House has confirmed that nothing in that link and Kayi Sanda is staying at Saints.

Would we perhaps be interested in taking Zirkzee for 6 months? (Not that I'm at all convinced he would be interested in us by the way) - Surely United would be looking to send him somewhere 'pressure-less' and maybe keep him in England as part of his adaptation to see if he might come good? Juric is probably aware of him from his time in Italy as well? I must also confess to not knowing too much about the guy, but he looks big enough to hold the ball up and act as a focal point? Happy to be corrected here as well.

I've also seen he has form for scrapping with Sporting Directors - Rasmus about to get what's coming...

Happy enough with that. I wonder if things go well, but we get relegated, he might want a shot in the Championship? Intrigued to see if he is in place for Fulham and the team he picks... He will sure things up defensively and he certainly won't be trying to be mates with the players. Welcome Ivan, best of luck.

Does anyone with more knowledge than me know what is Corberán all about? I see he worked under Bielsa - hopefully he would bring a different level of fitness, but is he really that different of a proposal than our previous forays into the Championship for managers?

I thought it might be a reference to Wilcox leaving and letting him down

Michel is the favourite to take over from Pep at City (whenever that might be), he is well out of our league. So is Terzic in all honesty.
