I hold out very little hope that Besic will ever come good. I think this will be Barry's last season too especially if the Schneiderlin reports are true.

Agreed, a rest may do him good.

I still think he has been an upgrade on Stones.

The comments on the page are from months ago. looks like an old article re-posted.

Much Better last night, nearly cost us towards the end with some poor decision making and could have finished the game off twice but overall had a great game.

You'd think Koemans pressing style and McCarthy would be a match made in heaven. It worked last night. Lets hope he keeps it that way for the next match. No room for Barry, we looked much better without him last night.

Interesting to note that De Boer and Unai Emery have both failed at their new roles and both were first choice with some fans. Mancini looks to be taking over at PSG and De Boer did a terrible job at Inter Milan. Funny Old Game!

Stek Coleman Williams Mori Baines McCarthy Lennon Gana Mirallas Valencia Lukaku This would be my team for tonight. No Barry as he's too slow especially against Arsenal. Lennon would be in for his workrate and defensive capabilities. I think with Geri we would be too exposed. Need to play 2 up top to give arsenal at least something to worry about.

This is why im hoping we sign Schneiderlin in Jan, he's strong and can play. Him and Gana would be great together imo. Shame we missed out on Sigurdsson too, again strong and can play plus scores a few goals. I'd like a similar balance of players that we had under the peak era of Moyes, Some Stong and aggressive types and some flair players. I really think that is something we miss, back then we had Arteta, Pienaar and even Osman who could all keep the ball, create something from nothing and unlock a defense.

This and the fact that Walsh signed him at Leicester.

This is exactly how i feel too. Way too early to Judge. I cant believe people are saying we played good football under Martinez! We were a laughing stock, not much better now but its a knock on effect that's will take time to change. People need to remember this a complete teardown and not just a refurb job! I agree with the comment regarding City and UTD too, we are very similar just on a different scale. If we sign 4 of Koemans type of players in Jan I think it will make all the difference. Im hoping Van Dijk & Schneiderlin are 2 of those 4, they would certainly make a difference. Conte inherited a top top team and still spent a fortune on players, completely different.

Ha ha updated now. And i dont think he is ;-)

TBH I forget he's here sometimes.

I'd be rat that price. I know prices are silly in football at the moment but they only paid £55m for both 2 seasons ago and neither are getting a game. I think £50m for both is a fair price but its not my money so im not really arsed ha. Plus i think that would be a good price for both, Schneiderlin is class and i think with Depay he just signed for the wrong manager.

Not of the Quality of Schneiderlin, surely you wouldnt turn down the chance to sign a player of his calibre. Mcarthy will be gone, as will Clevs.

Schneiderlin is a no brainer, he would improve our midfield no end. Him and Gana would be class. He has to be a priority in Jan, a solid Midfield would make such a difference.

Cant see this being true at all, he is surplus to requirements at UTD so im sure he will be linked with numerous clubs. Hull maybe? Phelan may look to UTD for a few outcasts to save them this season.

Has Koeman come out and stated he is interested in him? Like he did with Depay who is 22?

Really? Id say this was a priority position

Surely you cant blame the manager for who we are linked with in the Media? The majority of it is bullshit. I'm gutted for Bolasie, im not a fan tbh and never have been but i hate to see any player injured. Hope he makes a good recovery. Depay in Jan looks more likely now then.

Hopefully still Bolasie. He was terrible again yesterday, Im not sure who controls his legs but it isnt him.

I agree with Haf, i think Valencia changed the game yesterday. Work rate and desire was great, Lukaku always seems to work better next to another striker. Mirallas played better when Valencia came on too. Geri seemed to look leaner yesterday, looked thinner in his face. Maybe Koeman has flagged up his fitness issues? Clevs was terrible, Iv always thought he does a job but yesterday nothing went right for him at all. The last 20 mins im hoping is the way Koeman wants us to play and once we have the players to fit his style then hopefully we will be fine. Idrissa Gueye was the standout as usual, a Mid of Schneiderlin, Gueye and Sigurdsson would be great.

'One' of our good performances under Martinez. I think he did a great job at Saints considering the start he had with them. We did create chances under martinez but we still never fully looked like winning as we were awful at the back and unfit. Dont get me wrong i dont want to see us play boring football either but its too early to judge. My ultimate point is that Koeman deserves time, judging him after 13 games is unfair.

'one of us' this is my argument, who cares? if he wasnt 'one of us' would you still be looking at it the same? he's had numerous opportunities over the last few years, especialy under Martinez and he doesnt seem to be improving. He is talented on his day but he doesnt show it often enough. If there is a strong case for Lukaku to go then the case for Barkley to go must be just as strong. Dont miss your window of opportunity, thats the message it gives to the younger players.
