Gana, Garner, both sound the same 😉

No, it’s in reply to the interview comment mate. Gana just did his and said he would give his soul to the club. 
Cornish mentioned the statutory interview incoming…..hence the comment 🙂

But the Pun was poor haha, I’m not known for my comedy….. it’s almost as bad as Baileys stat analysis 😳

Bailey's... I can do bad grammar police too! :P

Clearly waiting until the interview to be done.

Great club  check
manager convinced me  check
wonderful fans  check
ambition  check
blah, blah...

I do think we have another star in the making here, though. I had no idea he had captained teams already. Yet another with leadership potential.

Can I just say that my dentist as a kid was called Mr Garner, he was an absolute sadist who thoroughly enjoyed inflicting pain on children.

After I'd grown up it came ro my attention that he was also a scout leader and a little later a convicted paedophile.

I promise not to hold this against James.

 

I knew a bloke called Pete Garner who was a complete bum hole.

Anyway, welcome James and your giant Easter Island head to Goodison.

Wow! Did not expect such a dark post in this thread. 😂

He looks very nervous in front of the camera, like a shy young lad. From the YouTube videos he looks a whole lot more confident in the football pitch, where it counts. 

A few lads from work and mates who support United can’t understand why they would let him go. Always good news. 

Everything you read about him makes you wonder why United let him go. Seems highly thought off by a lot of people and a lot are suprises he has been allowed to leave and that we have had him for a very good price. He could quite easy become this season 'Gallagher'.

It’s mad to think this lad went to the school down the road from me, Romey mentioned to me that he knew of him from being Wirral based.  It seems his mums partner was someone I knew pretty well growing up.  Based on his accent he doesn’t sound like he’s been back to the Wirral much! 
 

I like the look of the lad from a stature perspective, looks to have potential to fill out a bit and looks a very complete midfielder.

Definitely sounds more Manc than being from here!

I shouldn't be surprised really because kids can pick up accents quite easily and he did move there at 12/13 to be closer to training.

He looks better in blue and now he's at a better club 😛.

I think living away from your home town mates etc is probably a good thing. Loads of lads become celebrities before they make it. 
 

Wonder if he will be Wirral based or Liverpool

I also find this a bit strange as Ten Haag has involved a few young players too. He was clearly well down the pecking list.

I do think you need to take fans comments with a pinch of salt when it comes to youngsters coming through. A good section of people on here would still be calling for Baningime to start for us.

A quick look at the EFL team of the season and it was his teammate Yates that got in the side ahead of him. I appreciate that is very subjective!

I haven't seen him play so I could be miles off but based on the decisions that have been made about him, I imagine he fits between the starting 11 (now - Gueye, Onana, Iwobi) and the likes of Warrington coming through. I can't wait to see how he develops over the season.

Poor example, most couldn't spell his name

A bit different though. Baningime had only made a couple of sun appearances at most. Garner has been a regular for Forest in a promotion push.

He isn’t a prospect, he is a capable first team player.

If you are referring to this occasion, I'll await your unreserved apology 😜

Though I do concede that I Googled it before I posted 🤣

If its about every other time I have tried and failed then, yes you have me! 

My sincere apologies - but I shall now be watching with eagle eyes! :)

I agree but United's midfield is also a step up on ours too. How many lads having a good season in the Championship go on to have a first team spot at United? 

Its all relative. Fans love one of their own, until they come in and disappoint and then they hate them 🤣

My great great grandma was a Garner from Fleetwood. He might be one of mine.

Short but impactful debut. Here’s a question. Let’s say Garner pushes into the 1st team lineup this year or next. Whose place is he taking? What position is he now a backup for?

Agree, got over his initial stagefright extremely quickly.

If Gana plays like that again its a straight swap. I think Onana should be looking over his shoulder too.

I seen enough from him to suggest he can do a job right now and essentially if one of gana, Iwobi or Onana is not on their game then he comes on immediately….. not a last 20 minutes job, he is good enough to put serious pressure on the starting midfielders and we haven’t had this in years.

very very optimistic about him. I would be tempted to try him on the right hand side and Dwight on the left when Patterson is back.  If you have 2 wide players with great delivery and defensive discipline it could be a huge weapon when dcl is playing

Both had a few bad moments in the game for sure. I would stick with Onana though because what he does good, it’s really good. Gana hasn’t hit the heights of his liverpool debut, sadly.

Positive is that Garner looks ready to contribute and I’m looking forward to him getting more minutes.

I think he could do a job anywhere in midfield for us, and as injuries pop up I am sure we will start to see him become the go to replacement for all three of those currently starting.

It's going to be a  case then of making yourself undroppable. 

I think we saw a reminder last night that our team and midfield in particular is very much a work in progress and there will be bumps in the road. 

The experience and class of the Utd midfield really showed last night. Fernández, Eriksen and Cassamero. 

I think we are growing and I am sure over the next 18months Garner will be a big part of this.

Good post. It’s just curious to me as I think we have basically 4 box to box types in Iwobi, Onana, Doucoure, Garner. Who fills the Gana role If need be? Who plays farthest forward? Do we bring in a true attacking midfielder? 
 

I trust Frank to figure it out but it’s all a bit uncertain from the outside looking in.
