McClaren doesn't expect any senior arrivals by this time next week.

Had so much promise too, so much for top 8

Nah I'm saying they didn't play in the Premier League last year, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't have.

Both are better than what we have at the club now.

We still need somebody to play alongside him though?

Coloccini is 33 and well on the decline.

Taylor and Williamson aren't good enough.

We also had Lascelles last season, and yeah they did - but they still haven't been replaced yet.

Santon, Ryan Taylor and Mbiwa left in defence during last year and we've only brought in Mbemba.

I meant defensively.

We need another centre back and quickly, Taylor and Williamson are absolute horror shows.

De Jong and Wijnaldum looked good today mind, another complete no show from Sissoko, though.

Taylor and Williamson are defending like 45 year old blokes here.

Mbemba has came on to play right back though.

The next mbiwa?

1 week to the start of the season and we're still weaker than when we started last year.

Wickham is terrible.

Not a targetman as he's crap in the air and weak as piss, and can't do anything else either.

Ameobi last season and Wickham this year.

Pardew still got that eye for a player I see.

Yeah. That't precisely the problem.

Also Williamson 'hoofs it long' - Do people honestly think that it's his fault? That's clealy the fault of the midfield for chronically underperforming. It's the midfields job to take the ball of the defence ffs.

Williamson isn't PL quality? Did you not watch Newcastle in the championship? He was miles better than all of the opposition.

Good to know Veltman and Van Dijk are guaranteed hits, whereas Mbemba isn't? Van Dijk must have really impressed you in Celtic's CL defeats at the hands of Legia and Maribor.


Well why does Collocini not have the same passing success rate as Williamson?

He's top half championship quality yeah, not Premier League though.

Nah, Williamson was our 7th best player in one of the worst seasons we've ever had. We'll be alright.

It'll be a shame but there's still a week and a half to go.

Fingers crossed we don't ruin the good work we've already done.

Sirigu
Großkreutz - Thiago Silva - TOTY David Luiz - Alba
TOTS Matuidi
Schweinsteiger - Iniesta
Robben - Messi - Neymar


Has been ridiculously good for me on UT (false 9 formation). Planning to make a sub squad with Reus LW, Ibra at false 9 with my free Futties Gundogan & TOTS Verratti


That should be ridiculously good

Would rather we seriously chased Veltman from Ajax or tried to hijack the Van Dijk deal. Maybe N'Koulou from Marsielle?

8m for a bang average defender is way too much.

Means we can sell Williamson and move on to maybe buying a winger too.

If we only sign Mbemba in defence I'll be extremely disappointed.

Williamson isn't a Premier League quality defender. Positioning is awful, too slow and he's terrified of posession. McClaren wants his defenders to be able to play out from the back. He'll just hoof it long all the time.

Taylor is just about a Premier league quality defender.

Who knows what Lascelles and mbemba are like.

Coloccini doesn't want to be here.

Yet were going to waste 15m on another striker when we already have 3 good ones and not improve the defence at all. Baffles me. All this attacking prowess and were still going to be dog shit at the back.

Nah, rumours he's off to Palace.

Has been shit for about a year tbf but I don't think many would look good playing next to what is effectively a lamppost with hair.

My Dutch squad is looking pimpin' now that TOTS Cillessen and TOTS De Jong have been released.


I have a dutch squad too, I got TOTS De Vrij, Van Dijk and Jordi Clasie too.

Clasie is superb.

Every team that has ever won it has normally bought it.

He still riles Man Utd fans up by saying it, as everyone calls him boring.

He's far from boring.

Yeah we were poor.

I don't normally take notice of friendlies, tbf.

Our defending has been shambolic throughout though.

Just seen McClaren playing down reports that we'll sign more players after mbemba.

Thought it might have been too good to be true.

Was on my way back up from London so we stopped off to watch the game. Good support for a friendly and sissoko and wijnaldum looked good.

Taylor and Williamson looked below their level too which is worrying. We really need them both away from the starting xi/first backup position come 2 weeks time.

The poor form of one of his players. He's the manager.

Obviously he can't help him wanting to leave etc. I don't think he's been 'mismanaged' but I do think a bit albeit not much blame lands at LvG's door.
