    Did a few things yesterday he would have completely farked up last season.

    Confidence has definitely improved, I'm pleased for him

    It makes no difference. All of our centre backs are dreadful. Every so often one will string together 3 games without a catastrophic error and our fans will declare they are the answer. What really needs to happen is all of them are removed from the squad next summer. I don’t care if it takes 3 windows to replace them just get these losers out of our club.

    However we all know Cathcart will get another extension.

    Thought he did alright in the first half, Gyokeres gave him a tough time but he dealt with most things. But like all of our defenders, he can't play a whole game without switching off. He fell asleep for the Cardiff goal and he fell asleep for the goal today. Is it asking too much of these guys to concentrate on their job for 90 minutes?

    Yes it is. They all need to leave the club.

    We all know Troost is not good enough. And we all know we need a GK , RB and a no nonsense CB .
    However we had chances to kill the game off .

    Looked like he was playing in slow motion last night.

    Him and Pollock to leave though without a replacement coming in ?

    Wouldn’t make any sense.

    • We’re low on HG players
    • We’re short of CBs (with Hause MIA and Pollock supposedly going out on loan)
    • We’re short of leaders

    Weve been linked to 4/5 quality young CB’s this window, so I wouldn’t be surprised if something has opened up in that regard.

    Bilic hasn’t said he wants one, but Costa and Manga know a good deal when they see one. Maybe we finally have someone who has convinced Gino that money can be made off defenders as well.

    Welcome Conti.

    Granted not HG, but is from Benfica, so wouldn’t surprise me.

    More likely to be Tuanzebe I’d imagine. Not a lot to base that on though.

    Not especially enamoured with the prospect of Tuanzebe if it'll be another loan, a perm, sure, although it might be moot for now as WTE doesn't look like leaving imminently

    Personally I don’t read too much into WTE being in the squad - could easily still be off and has just said he wants to focus on the game this weekend before leaving and feels he owes it to the club to not withdraw from a squad so close to matchday.

    I also suspect any move for Tuanzebe would likely be permanent anyway. He’s simply not going to break into that United squad when they have Varane, Martinez, Maguire, Lindelof and also now Luke Shaw as CB options.

    He did a lap of the ground by himself to wave to the fans at full time. Read into that what you will.

    Did he walk into touch after trying a particularly ambitious wave?

    Slav keen to get another defensive player or two .

    Get to work Manga and Costa.

    Would be nice if we could get rid of Kabasele this month as well.

    Never happening. No-one is going to want him. Contract expires in 2024 but we have an option for a one year extension, so could be 2025. We’re stuck with him.

    What's the fee? Ironically I think he might suit the new system better than what we have as he surely wouldn't be charged with playing the ball out, and he's probably quicker than anyone we have at CB at the moment, but I suppose if the fee is decent it's a good deal for us as he's not exactly the future of the club

    You don't suit any system if you're incapable of defending.
    Sorry seems like a decent chap but he should never come back.

    I’ve got a different take on WTE. It’s no coincidence why our form dropped off a cliff when he left the club. He held the dressing room together. I think he’s a decent “blocker” of a defender. Whole-hearted and loves the club.

    I’d welcome him back, and it was a mistake letting him go IMO. One of the few actual leaders the club had, and we all saw what happened once he left the place.

    I think he’s an excellent leader and obviously had a lot to do with our promotion season but he’s a very poor player. We need to move on
