We needed another RB Rev. When we played 4 at the back and Nyame was out we had to put a centre half in Carter in his place.He did ok but i wouldnt want to see him playing RWB. The club have said nobody for sale,obviously that could change if we recieve a ridiculous offer but i dont think offers will reach that level for any of the 3. A couple of click bait sites said Leeds might put a 3 million bid and also credited Southampton with an interest who have a load of full backs. Nothing from the Leeds paper.Nothing from the leeds official site.Nothing from sky. Mowbray said he wanted competition and now we signed someone it automatically means Nyambe is being sold? People keep saying we have history for this etc..completley ignoring the fact that only 2 players of value have been sold by the club in near 5 years

From all reports its suggested 3 and a half years are on the table. As late as today the club have said he isnt close to leaving. Here is a thought why dont you save your moaning until he leaves the club?.I know you think you have a better understanding of whats going on at the club but in reality half the stuff you say doesnt come true.You moan at the club over every little thing. Pre season you where creaming yourself over the buisness that luton did.Signed a bunch of journeyman that i can nearly guarantee you would have been critical of our ambition if we made those signings. We are 2nd in the league.Have made 1 signing, another looking close and we have sold nobody. Anyone would think it was relegation we were facing(like you predicted) and were touting our players to other clubs to be bought ffs We have sold 2 players of Value in 5 years!

Yeah and if we didnt bring in a rb and Nyambe got injured the same people moaning about the signing now would be giving the club grief for not bringing in someone for that position. If Nyambe was to get injured we would have to play either Buckley or Carter in that position.

They said we have a bid in to take him this window so hopefully Aberdeen will play ball. Agree we should be putting our efforts in to making the squad stronger this season rather than planning too far ahead.If we go up we will need Premier league experience which Hedges doesnt have

Dont think Nyambe will go anywhere this window. Have you heard Leeds from the same source as the rest of us?A couple of fan led websites?

Sky reporting we have a bid in for Hedges

Hoping Edun was bought as they see him in a different position than back uo left back as his better performances have come elsewhere in the side. If there are funds to bring in loans or permanents a left back should come into consideration as Edun does look a weak link there and this is Pickerings second spell out with injury now

From what i read its leeds playing hardball and not agreeing to terminate the deal

On you ruling out people out due to them not being suited to our formation/style of play, you have done it with Maja too, werent you saying earlier in the season you are a great believer in us having a plan b or c?

That isnt fact that was Dack was sold before he was injured. Someone saying on here it was happening doesnt make it fact. I find it very hard to believe that a deal was done for Dack.If true why was he playing in the match he got injured in in the first place.What i do know to be fact is that West Brom had a big money move for Dack rejected confirmed by the West Brom assistant Graeme Jones the previous January You are criticising the club for something that hasnt even happened yet. I agree that its a joke we have left it get to the stage where he only has 6 months left on his deal but not one reputable news outlet has reported that Nyambe is close to being sold. We needed another RB and the noises are we are signing this guy from Berlin.Nyambe has 6 months left, down the line we may need a replacement in the meantime we need competition for that position How can we criticise the club for selling Nyambe when nothing of substance suggesting he will be sold this month?

Yeah but what i meant is to start games.Elanga has been in and around united squad im sure he would have the required fitness for 45 minutes or 30 to contribute. Admittedly my viewing of him has been limited but going off what i have seen and what iv read he looks to have the ability that would trouble defenders at this level. In the immediate we dont need someone to come in and start ,if he is more talented than the alternative then i wouldnt be against signing him even if it takes 3/4 weeks before he is ready to start or last 90 minutes

Do we need anyone in foward areas to be immediately called upon? Elanga would be a great option to have .At the minute we couldnt be dropping Brererton, Buckley or Khedra from the starting line up. Most players available for loan or transfer that are likely to come within budget will most likely be lacking in playing time.

The sun story was Nyambes place in the team under threat with the arrival of the defender from Berlin. Didnt suggest any transfer was imminent for Nyambe

Nixon reckons Elanga is being touted to championship clubs he would be better than Diallo imo. United would want guaranteed playing time for either of those 2 though

Im waiting on Chaddy screenshotting whatever Rovers line Nixon has in The Sun this morning.

Get in

From the players perspective why would they carry on negotiating with the club at the minute when in 6 months if we are promoted they will be negotiating with a Premier league club who can afford to commit to higher cost contracts. Agreed these deals should have been sorted long ago but im not buying these stories...Rothwell going to Bournemouth etc. Even the Nyambe leeds link there hasnt been a serious article on it

Story originated from a Pete O'Rourke tweet.He is usually on the money

Mowbray been saying nobody leaving last couple of interviews. Waggott made those comments pre our terrific form?We where 1 of about 10 teams in and around the play offs. With the best will in the world nobody could have seen(people within the club included) that we would be sat 2nd now with the performance levels as they are. These "links" are they even legitimate.Have the Leeds paper even run with the Nyambe story. The Rothwell link earlier, yes the original tweet posted the guy is reputable but i didnt find it suprising or alarming.I would have been alarmed if he said "Bournemouth and Blackburn in talks over Rothwell deal" he didnt though he said they are interested which isnt surprising

Some of those tackles would lead to reds in this division. His background looks decent though and he is a good age if this link turns out to be true its good in the sense the club are still looking at the European market.

Only a few days ago sky ran with the story that the owners said nobody for sale. Best case is it plays out that way and whstever signings we make are brought in to compete with the players here. Its silly season apparantly we rate Rothwell above £1 million, is that 1.1..1.2...5...10 million.He has had a terrific start to the season is it any surprise that teams like Bournemouth would be interested? When these comments were made about listening to offers for the players coming to the end of their contracts we were midtable and looking destined for another season of treading water. Many on here had us down for a relegation battle and it must even come as a surprise to the coaching staff and team how well we have performed this season. I just dont believe(as stupid as they are)they will cash in on players this month especially to direct rivals like Bournemouth with the position we find ourselves in

I like the look of Styles at Barnsley but Dembele has that moment of magic too We dont know if he is leaving.Mowbray said he wanted another senior right back, the irish guy hasnt been brought in as a first teamer he will be with the 23s for the rest of the season most likely What we do know is that he only has 6 months left on his deal and its likely we will need to sign a right back.Surely its sensible making this signing.

Pickering doesnt have 6 months left on his deal if he had maybe we would be discussing his injury issues. I agree with parts of your earlier reply.I agree that Nyambe is a better defender than Pickering.But performance levels have been similar this season, they have both had poor games and both had good games.I think potentially Nyambe could play at a higher level than Pickering if he becomes more competent in the final third but i think currently Pickering is better suited to the game the manager is asking the team to play.Pickering for me has got better the more games he played,he had come from a mediocre league one side in Crewe i think that has to be taken into account when judging his earlier performances.I wasnt one of the folk bigging up his signing,id heard of him but seen next to nothing of him,i heard them discussing hin on a efl transher special on sky. I know nothing of this potential signing but seems to have a decent pedigree and if the club feel Nyambe wont sign a new deal its a good move getting this fella in on loan wirh an option.Out of interest what would you be offering max to tempt Nyambe into a new contract? Currently i would be offering 10/11/12 i wouldnt go further than that.His game needs to improve for clubs to be paying a fee that would warrant more than that.
