He'd be daft signing full time for them, or us, this window imo.

I guess they can say yes or no.

I'd say they're the only party that has a say. If they wanna flog him now, they can. He was their fourth choice keeper, I don't think he's improved enough to change that.

The chances of Sam Johnstone becoming Man United's regular first choice goalkeeper are, in my opinion, slim to none.

It would be very disappointing to lose our arguably Player of the Season to date. To be understudy at that rabble? Can't see it happening myself.

I never understand why excellent keepers choose to understudy at a big club. Yes, go there with the intention of being number one, but when it's obvious it's not going to happen, what a waste of a career if you don't look to move on. Johnstone can be great but he needs competitive playing time.

I’d take Myhill back he always seems decent to me.

I must admit that I've got to the point now after the last few years that I can't get worked up about any individual player leaving now. C'est la vie.

Exactly my feelings too Richard.  If they want out, then bye bye, it won't impact too heavily on my life.  We have no control over it anyway do we?

Holding club obviously have the whip hand. He had a great season at PNE and wanted to stay, thwarted by the (bogus) De Gea nonsense.

Where is Gollini now? And does he play ?


Apparently, hes refusing to come back if recalled, something to do with the way Bruce treated him.

He wasnt good enough anyway.

I thought he was ok tbh

Same.

Good keeper though. Would prefer he stays, but if not. Well it is what it is.
