Can't wait till we're able to embarrass them at Old Trafford. Not that that's a hugely difficult thing to do any more. The whole place is pretty toxic right now, from the board to the players. Hope they miss on the CL again and stay stuck in mid table battles with West Ham and Leicester for years.

I think if it's just the additional 4M for the loan fee, which it apparently was till yesterday, then in our situation it might not be the worst deal ever. Even if he helps keep us up and then sods off. But yeah, with the story running now, its just mental.

Agreed. I was applying the same logic to Lingard, is it that mental paying 10M for someone proven at this level? Given our predicament, and with the possibility of tying him down permanently too. These are obvious points which they must have considered as well, so hopefully they're just confident in the backup options. Getting pretty close to squeaky bum time now though, and I can't imagine many clubs will sell right at the end of the window with little chance of finding a replacement. Or lower their prices knowing our desperation will only have increased.

I'm all for telling the likes of Sevilla to go screw themselves but giving up on Lingard over 4M would just be stubbornness imo. He's someone who could make a significant contribution in saving our season.

Did Man Utd raise the loan fee for Lingard at the last minute or what? This seemed doable, unless they asked for something silly at the last minute its worrying that we've failed here as well.

Meh. Well it IS something though so thanks! 😏

Aye This is why the Leeds win was so critical though.

Worryingly don't see progress on a CB now that Carlos seems down the drain.

Take care Ant and thanks for all your effort over the years. Can't be easy.

Get the fook in! Hope rekindled!

And how shit we played, didn't even work the keeper against these. Unbelievable that we are still within touching distance.

Aye true that's what they think but it actually isn't. I agree they'll want to bring us to the level of Man City but whether they manage to do so remains to be seen. Nufc are just one of a number of initiatives MBS has laid out to improve their image and catch up to the likes of Dubai in tourism etc. Not all have worked so far, it's not a given even with PIF's massive resources.

Anything to get us to safety mate, as has been pointed out here the state of people like Lascelles and Longstaff is such we are in zero danger of downgrading in any way.

Some Saudi club making a loan move for Aubameyang apparently. Surely thats worth a shot too alongside Lingard.

We've seen some shitty shitty players over the last 15 years haven't we? The performances from these 3 this season are right up with the worst and that is saying something. Lascelles man. Can't believe there was a time we actually thought he could be a decent player. That moment in the 2nd half where he let in King and you saw him try to get back to bring him down, I swear you just knew he wouldn't even come close and it would be funny as shit. And he's going to keep the arm band isn't he? Embarrassing

This. Can't stand watching them any longer. The team is a fitting final tribute to Ashley's reign.

Hey at least we get back to the fun part now for a few days, till this lot get to play again.

Nobody in midfield has any ideas or anything. They're all just so useless it's not even funny.

We're goners, this lot are abysmal. Fucking Lascelles. Can't wait to see the back of him, started to proper hate him and the prick is our captain. Says everything you need to know about this team.

Wow, knew the name sounded familiar. Welcome back Nut!

So that's how Joelinton got sanctioned.

80M apparently included all wages over the term of the potential contract, plus agent fees etc. It was clickbait nonsense from the Mail, was it, that first ran it? Seemingly transfer fee now includes every single penny needed to acquire and keep a player as long as he has a contract for the club

Aye, have a feeling we might need to score at least 2.

As tempting as it is to label this a must win, even a draw keeps us in touching distance with the rest of the window to go. Win and it'll just be so massive though, reinforce the positivity from the window so far and get the whole place moving forward with belief. So yeah, as others have said just don't see that happening. Going to be a shitty, nervy 90 minutes of football.

No medicals today? FFS
