He’s 28 so no resale value, but would add a lot to the squad. If we play with a 3 next season, he, luongo and Bannan would be a decent trio. No resale value is part of our mantra. Perfect for us.

Don't think that either of them would sign to be back up. Yes but I’m not sure the city lad is ready for 46 games in the champ. Luongo doesn’t look like he can play 46 games, so we will need more in there, and he’s available, probably the best we can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morsey is a good player, but personally I would want us to continue to look at younger players, especially in midfield. Some interesting players got Released from Premiership academies such as Eathan Hamilton and Alex Denny. Still my first choice would be Callum Slattery if Southampton's could be persuaded to let him go. We need playmaker infront of our back 4 as we are struggling to play from the back under any notion of pressure on our back line and just can't afford to play Bannan in such a deep role. I'm convinced that Slattery would make us better passing side right away. With him, Bannan and good box to box midfielder we would be very strong in center of the pitch and have strong "spine" to build around. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of character in the side is a big concern for me, hence I think Morsy would be a decent signing. Also agree on Slattery, looks a real prospect but I think it would be loan, but certainly one worth going after. Not seen the other 2 play so couldn’t comment on them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 Morsy would be fantastic. Don’t understand concerns about his age when we’re signing FDB and have Hunt & Shaw coming through. Good blend. We do need to replace Hutchinson. Morsy fits the bill and would give us a true captain/leader on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a close season with probably in the region of 1000 players out of contract I would be very surprised if we sign any players on frees. There is so many good players we can bring in which will save us money. Just think instead of wasting £2-3m on JVA we could have signed a player like Borner on a free which would you say is better business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a good chance that Slattery might chose regular football as 21 years old instead of waiting for chance at Southampton. Smallbone getting nod before him could be a sign that he doesn't have long term future there and that Southampton might be willing to let him go for afordable price.

We're paying a fee for Dele-Bashiru, so I'm hopeful for a few £1-5m signings. Saying that, Armstrong would probably be £6-10m and I'm fully aware that we probably won't spend anything close to that on a single player. But a girl can dream right?

They are all mercenaries who play for whoever pays their wages. United are happy to take our cast offs, why shouldn't we take theirs. It's petty restrictions like that which will sto us progressing. If someone has been a lifelong United supporter I can see why we might not want them but just because a pro footballer happened to make an error of judgement once doesn't mean he's forever blighted. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
