Guaita, Johnstone and Lerma all free transfers, its easy being selective.

Jeez

I there is any thread of truth then fair play to him, though has hardly pulled up trees here

Just been listening to Simon Jordan on talksport, they were talking about players who go above a managers head and go whinging to owners or chairman if they’re not happy about something. When asked if anyone did that when he was at palace, his reply was only Dougie Freedman, on a regular basis

Not really relevant, but just thought I’d share it

He’d be crazy not to take the job if it was offered. He’s had his successes and failures but overall he’s done ok under difficult circumstances. He has to find players who a) are a good fit for Roy’s rigid system b) are experienced enough for Roy to trust them to be able to do what he asks of them c) are cheap enough for SP to sanction buying them and d) young enough to have potential to sell on at a profit if they do well. I do wonder how he gets on with Roy. I’d love to be a fly on the wall when they’re discussing some of the recent signings!

Believe or not Sprites, I actually drafted a response to the same post saying:

"Probably not. He'll take Guehi, Eze and Olise, though" but in the end didn't post it - but, of course, I have now!

Dougie has done well in my view. We're one of the lowest net spenders in the PL over the last five years [Link] and yet we have three current England internationals, another centre-back who is coveted by CL clubs, the enigma that is Olise and in Doucoure and Lerma a very solid centre-midfield pairing all for little more than the price of Antony. That might have caught people at United's attention!
