Obviously just isn't fancied by Smith at all. I agree. I don’t think Cash has been brilliant this season. Guilbert must wonder what he has to do to get a game! Cash still the better play though in my opinion (I think). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously just isn't fancied by Smith at all. Completely agree. Don't agree with us selling him to Fulham (if true) at all. Didn't agree with loaning him last year either. It worked out ok because Cash was available pretty much all season but could've been a disaster had we had to rely on Elmo for an extended run of games Cash is good and I like him a lot. But he's not so good that he should feel as though he doesn't have competition. (Nobody should) Edited August 30, 2021 by HalfTimePost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Griffin Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 1 minute ago, HalfTimePost said: I think the challenge is finding one he'll accept. I think he'll think there is a chance for him to earn his place this season. Given our injury list and potential to lose Luiz (international isolation of selected later in year) and Nakamba (AFCON) I wouldn't begrudge him thinking he's realistically not far from being in contention. He loves it here and he's desperate to prove he's good enough. I think there's a chance he stays He will also be thinking that he has 1 year left on his contract. I am guessing he could get a 3 year contract somewhere next summer on a free, maybe to a newly promoted Championship team looking for some PL experience. It may be better for him to be in amongst the 1st team of a PL club than in a Championship club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it would make us a little better and help us to finish a couple of places higher in the table. I am currently thinking we are good for 10th and a new player may get us 8th/9th No probs, sorry. Misunderstanding? I thought you were suggesting that I was indicating that another signing would transform us etc. I got the impression that you were happy with the squad and had full faith in the youngsters. I just want us to have the strongest team and squad possible and not to leave ourselves short. So, I agree with you then. Another quality signing (or two!) would give us an improved chance at having a better season. I can’t predict how we will do and don’t think it’s fair to add any pressure on Dean and the players as I see this as a transitional season. Consolidation would be fine but we’re all wishing for better. Just need to get our best players playing together for a start! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 With guilbert and hourihane off I think there's a decent chance we bring one more in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van De Beek is behind arguably the most in form ACM in the world right now so cannot get game time at Utd as Solskjaer would get murdered if he left Fernandes out. He's not shit, he just signed for the wrong team if he wants to start every game. He was unbelievable at Ajax... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I had a feeling Hourihane would go to Sheff Utd... seemed a good fit. I'd have tied to use him as a makeweight for Berge. I know he's not the finished article but he's got all the ingredients for being a very good DM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indigo Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 All of Wes, Hourihane and Guilbert leaving would leave us short of a 25-man squad, even including the young lads who don't count officially count towards that number. Surely this means there's something in the works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichiBoi11 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 (edited) With Hourihane off and the rumours of Guilbert too I fully expect one player in tomorrow. Whether that's a loan or a permanent signing is anyone's guess, but all the reliable sources have been saying if Wes, Conor and Fred leave we will actively look to recruit. Time to start speculating.
