[RECALLED] James Garner

As an example, United reserves played Leicester reserves last week. They played Garner and another highly talented CM (Galbraith) against a very aggressive Leicester side. A couple of dangerous challenges flew in, and Garner seemed to hide a bit. The Leicester midfield then played around/ through him, which was disappointing given his age/ relative experienced.

Hopefully just saving himself for his dream move to Watford.

 

Agree but we only moved on this in the last 24 hours and were absolutely desperate to get it wrapped up fast (he was initially only going to go in the final week of the window) - Guessing Vlad saw something at Oxford he didn't like. Fair play to the club for beating about half the Championship on this, and getting it done so quickly.

 

Is he likely to improve us, do you think?

 

Barely watched him to be honest. I have a couple of friends with season tickets at United who absolutely rave over him though - I think he's exactly the type of player we needed, how he does will depend on application. Very happy with the business based on that.

 

He's much like paint in that respect.

It can be brilliant paint but when I do the decorating the result may not be what was sought.

 

Hopefully not a Briggs.

 

King Ken might suggest otherwise.

 

I heard the same regarding your first paragraph.

It could well be that he was saving himself a bit knowing a loan move was soon going to happen though.

 

A genuinely impressive signing.

For a young man, he seems to have built up a nice body of work at youth international level and (I believe) captained the Utd U23 side last season.

Look forward to seeing how he gets on.

 

On the face of it, I would say this lad sounds like he might be the best bit of incoming business we have done so far in this window.

 

Chalobah was the biggest negative from that game, and while he

King Ken had been in training hadn't he? It was just he had to leave to go on international duty, right?

 

I hate the Championship squad numbers and letter style. Why the gaps?

 

To save money on printing.

 

To match the gaps in our squad.

 

Watford? More like Rockford!

I'm sure this joke has been made already but not checking.

 

Stencil

 

Heard from my source F**ip** G*r**d* that he was at London Colney today, not trying to be ITK just passing on what I heard

 

I said the same when I saw it on telly

 

Nice we got this deal in early before United had the chance to spite us for potentially not letting Sarr go

 

They needed some extra ink to make the ******* stupid pointless squiggle before the first letter.

 

Just look at his little face

 

For someone I actually get on with, you can be needlessly bitchy at times...

 

Not getting his poster put up on your wall then?

 

Championship is skint m8. Saves space therefore money innit.

 

There are feeder club

 

Troy misunderstands this and still gets the ex-United lads to bring in cakes every day. Hope Garner has a Tesco clubcard.

 

The spider thing before the name is just awful.

 

Morrisons up north, surely?

 

Good (Mike) Post. Have a Beery on me.

 

Took Quina's role, as I thought he would.

 

Think that was more Quina having a stinker and Chalobah getting into the game a bit more, he is quite a versatile midfielder, but mainly a #6, which is central to Ivic's style of play. Chalobah did improve second half, but I wouldn't be surprised if he were axed for the scum game

 

They don’t make theme tunes like that any more.

 

At least we know the scum probably won't be resting players against Manure
