What happens if Man Utd finish top 4 but also win the Europa league, does that offer the extra champs league place to 5th?

I dont want to sell him but i do see the differences between being a selling club and selling the odd player.
I can see the difference but to me coleman is a key player and important if we are building something or at least trying to build something
-
We can't sell him, not if martinez has sold the dream to stones. It just gives the wrong message, we arent a selling club but go on we will flog arguably the best right back in the prem
-
He can play no doubt about that. I think he would be an excellent addition and a good replacement if Stones does go. He is ready for that step up and whilst he has the capacity for a mistake or two he will learn and is a work in progress.

Apparently Adem Ljajic is leaving Roma for Aston Villa so might create a need for Roma to sign him

I had a River Plate Subbuteo team as a kid.
Doesn't move the debate on a great deal I know but just thought I'd put it out there
.Argentina or uraguay?
-
I thought his team mate alaverez balanta was the better prospect. Left footed and a bit younger but probably more expensive. I think he will do well for us though
-
If I had a crystal ball and could see Stones and Jags staying fit all season then I wouldn't want him, he isnt going to improve us and will stand in the way of Galloway, Browning, Holgate getting game time. However if Stones or Jags got a bad one then we would need him but £8mill seems a bit strong for a player out of contract next year and evidently not in the plans of LVG.
Would we be prepared to only have 2 established CB's once the window closes? If we could sort something similar to the Barry deal then it could work but would the player want to leave Man Utd to sit on our bench? Perhaps he should join the graveyard of old Utd CB's at Sunderland
-
I agree. I would like to see him involved more.
-
No we dont need him. I would have concerns about Besic height to play centre back and thought right back might be more suitable.
-
Could Besic play right back at a push?
-
Just thought that. Sorry if I have caused any confusion and made myself look like a knobhead into the bargain

So just accept mediocrity then in case we get a bad owner.
That's not what I said. It isn't as black and white as that. Nobody accepts mediocrity and of course I would like to see some changes at the top of the club, I was merely pointing out that things are not that bad and could be considerably worse, granted they could be considerably better and I fully accept that. We might make a few signings in the coming days and all of a sudden the complexion changes again, of course this could go the other way.
-
Patto's getting on a bit too, may get him in as a youth scout but doubt he'd improve our first team.
Pato is only 25 so his best years ahead of him if he could recapture the form for Milan prior to his hamstring problems. He did manage 44 games for Sao Paulo last season so his injury problems seem behind him

You can invest plenty in youth. It guarantees nothing.
Only around 2% of the youth players at premier league clubs will actually make a career in high level football.
You have to supplement the youth with first team players. Or to put it more accurately you have to supplement first team players with youth.
But we aren't saving first team money to plough it into youth. I don't know where you got that idea from.
No one is demanding instant success. Just demanding to compete with our peers.
And from that 2% if you are outside of the top 5 then one of them will come and pluck them away from you. I know if you look at our current crop of talented youngsters, Galloway, Stones, and now Holgate we took them from smaller clubs and looked to develop them but once we have done that Chelsea, Man U etc will look to prise them away, aided and abetted by SSN unsettling them.

I would doubt there is an Everton fan anywhere who wouldn't like the board to sell up and us to have a rich benefactor ploughing millions into the club. For every Sheikh Mansour there is a Thaksin Shinawatra and its wise to be careful what you wish for.
There is plenty of evidence of the incompetence of Bill Kenwright but he does care, we could get an incompetent who doesn't give a rats ass about the club
-
Read this earlier today
Not sure whether the 1-10 is a rating but we come in at 6 with the Telegraph describing Bill Kenwright as a shrewd chairman
-
Think the lad might be delighted, I'm delighted for him, everyone is delighted. Spend a bit of the extra cash on a thesaurus James. In all seriousness a great bit of news and now the media can back off trying to tout him to clubs on our behalf
-
I go to Ashton Gate quite a bit with my missus as she is a big City fan and I have to say I have been impressed with him this season but he isn't really a left back, more a left sided midfielder playing as a wing back at the moment. During his loan spells at Plymouth and Bath City he was played in midfield but if he stays for next season it will be interesting to see how he fares in the championship when a bit more pressure is applied to him defensively, if of course he isn't sold this summer. City will be under no financial pressure to sell and want to keep their best young players so he won't be available on the cheap.
So for me it would be a massive punt on a player who whilst undoubtedly talented has it all to prove positionally and is yet to play anywhere near the standard of premier league. Issue is though if he blossoms and plays well next season then a few million goes on the asking price

A big lump but still yet to make an appearance for Bristol Rovers first team. Rovers have a great academy and reputation for producing good young players but I would want to see him make first team appearances before signing him. They have Macey and Conner Grant as good prospects in the keeper department and Macey probably just shades the decision on who is best.
Apparently he is just on a week by week contract though which seems odd as he is held in high regard by the Rovers
-
Gave it to Lukaku. Coleman was immense and kept Ben Arfa quiet and this was Newcastles only outlet first half - thought Mirallas helped him out quite well. Mcarthy and Barry both did their jobs well and it was defo Mcarthys best performance thus far and hope he can build on it
-
Sorry if I put this in the wrong section but what is with this guy. If your read his column in the Daily Fascist today it will make your blood boil.
Moyes may have got away with it at Everton? Why? Because we are plucky, skint Everton who overlook tactical ineptitude, we can turn a blind eye to a failing tactical system?
Still asserting we will struggle this season because Baines cant bang in free kicks every week and Lukaku is on loan. Apparently there is no long term plan so we must be running round like headless chickens. I would say if Lukaku gets us the goals to grab top four the additional cash should help us secure a top notch striker - maybe not Lukaku (although Mourinho clearly doesn't rate him) but someone who could offer us what he might/could/does

Silva was the Hull manager when they loaned Niasse so he has worked with him before. He will do for now as much more important areas we need to be spending money on
