I always liked Besic. Tenacious, quick, decent passer, right attitude. Injuries totally wrecked his career.

Absolutely.
Even just all 3 Doucoure, Allan and Gueye buzzing around would be great. 
 
Really hope we are looking into this.

With all the players going we are leaving the squad very thin if nobody is coming in 

Barkley in the gylfi/Gomes role would be a joy to watch.
inexcusable to leave the squad this short on our first real chance at Europe in years.
 
 

I'd have Barkley and Gana back... No problem.

Absolutely! First album I ever bought - Live and Dangerous - although Visconti later said only the drums were - they overdubbed everything else...

Legend.

Does that make him more into cricket?

I know he won everything there was to win at club level but I always found it a bit sad watching him because he could, and should, have been so much more as a player. He was an exciting player for us and when he played in those Euro's for England, but then he just became a normal player I thought. He wasn't someone I'd be on the edge of my seat watching at all, and that what he had been. If he'd stayed on that path he wouldn't polarise fans, of United and England, he would be adored.

Wordplay Pete. @Formby is right in saying that if the whole of the Scotland vote (2,679,513) had been for remain remain would have won; it was decided on individual votes so which way any council or constituency voted was irrelevant.

And now he averages 0 in the Championship.
Not saying he could not do a job, just that there are better players who could do a better job.
 

Thought I was losing the plot - the whole problem is that we have utter deadwood outside of the first XI yet people are all over someone that will become just that?! If it doesn't improve us, don't bother and this really doesn't, it's misplaced optimism.
You buy crap, you get crap; Fabien Delph, Ashley Williams, Sandro etc.

King hasn't scored a single goal this season, bar a brace against Oldham in the FA Cup. 
I'll be honest I don't know know why everyone is so crazy about signing Josh - he's 28, so much older than I would like and was OK, if a bit forgettable at a Bournemouth side that was fighting relegation. 
Signing average players just creates more averageness, and is exactly what we don't want if we want to get into the Champions League and beyond - why waste the time on King when we could sign someone for half the price, who's half the age on the continent? Malik for example is two years younger?
@Formby is bang on IMO.

If we're swapping him for any of our useless players (quite a few of those), I'm all for it, but he's 28 and not that great and I don't want to add another aging, useless player to the mix.  

My wife finished her night shift this morning.  Her department is the only one open in the trust taking in paediatric cares now, Chester has had to repurpose their paediatric wards for adults as all adult wards over run.
I was going to get in touch with Matt le tissier and carol mcgiffin to see if this is true but I'll trust my wife. 
It's a bad situation, normally I wouldn't share stuff like this but it's a duty because thick, careless idiots are sharing misinformation, blood on the hands imo. 
 
 

We're absolutely crying out for one, aren't we? Unbelievable root and branch incompetence from top to bottom. Furious.

Any chance of signing Var from United? His link-up play with Fernandes has been exceptional.
