Ollie Watkins from Villa is available, I'm told. Would be better than Aurnotavic. Thoughts?
12 Aug 2022 08:15:33
if we want to finish midtable then these are the type of signings to make.
12 Aug 2022 09:13:39
Would also cost somewhere around 40-50m. A good player but not enough if there’s any ambition left at the club.
12 Aug 2022 10:08:51
Villa's main striker, why would they want to sell with less than 3 weeks to go in the window?
12 Aug 2022 10:21:38
Spenno I saw rumours that he fell out with Gerrard. Not sure if anything in them.
12 Aug 2022 10:43:56
He and Gerrard had a fallout spenno as per reports.
{Ed014's Note - Gerard is a complete tool, not sure anyone likes that nugget!
12 Aug 2022 11:27:03
It’s looking like Gerrard was a much better player then he is Manager that’s for sure, but no surprise there how many times that been seen!
Guess Arteta won’t have to be that good a manager to be better then he was as a player though!
Gerrard does seem to be upsetting a few, but I’m not sure any relents United because surely none of his cast offs are suitable for where we are trying to get!
{Ed014's Note - he’d walk into your midfield right now and he’s 40! ??
12 Aug 2022 11:45:25
I agree he would, but would also walk into yours too…and if we’re honest would probably walk into Liverpools too…… but I’m not sure where that was even mentioned!
{Ed014's Note - unfortunately he wouldn’t walk into either of those midfields.
You mentioned it with your snide comment about Arteta as a player and a manager.

Sorry let’s not let facts get in the way!
It’s ok to give out but not take back. very immature, it’s about opinions… I would 100% say Gerrard is still better then Milner or Henderson and probably Keita too, but of course Xhaka would be much better!
{Ed014's Note - goodbye yet again.
12 Aug 2022 12:59:28
Ed is that account someone who’s been here before or under a different name or something? Only really started seeing it past couple of days and well comments on everything ?.
{Ed014's Note - yes mate it is. There’s always one and he’s currently been about 15 of them! ?♂️?
12 Aug 2022 13:08:58
Genuine question here ED014, have you changed your mind on Arteta?
{Ed014's Note - hi mate, no not yet mate I haven’t, I like some of the things he’s done, as in got rid of the rubbish and stuck to his guns over that.
I like that we’re looking toward a more youthful squad and I’ve really liked some of our performances.
There are definite improvements but I need to be really convinced this season that he’s the man. The drop off last season was a concern.
I actually really hope he succeeds and this is his season to do it, to show we’re on the up and not standing still.
Question for you, if you could swap squads, lock stock and barrel and keep ETH, would you do it?
12 Aug 2022 14:24:07
Ed014. definitely I would swap squads but I think there are 9 or ten squads in the PL which are better than Utd's.
{Ed014's Note - I honestly think that’s not far off mate and no idea how they’ve let that happen.
12 Aug 2022 15:32:50
I'm pretty sure NewYorker and Duvin are one and the same.
{Ed014's Note - and his other multitude of usernames. He’s come from various parts of Europe and states in the US.
12 Aug 2022 15:38:48
There might be many squads better than ours but it's not like we spent the most money or pay the most in wages for ours, that would be crazy.
12 Aug 2022 21:28:54
I like Watkins, but I think Toney is a better player if we're discussing young English forwards.
13 Aug 2022 01:04:42
Do you buy a reserve player or do you invest in a better player to what you currently have?
