If we take him on loan again, ideally it would be with an option to buy at the end of the season. He would be far better off just moving to us directly. It's surely going to happen sooner or later!I also like the fact that if we sign Tuanzebe we will have, Tammy apart, kept the nucleus of younger players in the team from last season.

No point paying stupid money. This not only fills a need. It reunites a defensive partnership with already very good and developing chemistry. It also buys us time if indeed we cannot keep AT long term.what you say is truebut then they shouldn't make statements that they don't have intentions of keeping there's no point saying stuff if its meaningless nonsenseExcept it isn't meaningless; surely you've said stuff and then changed your mind as circumstances alter?We've already made how many permanent signings? No other loans suggest we're not in the loan market per se but if it makes financial and football sense then we should do it. Plus this one gives us continuity.Oh and the Tuanzebe beat is fun.

I thought the message was pretty clear that We will not develop other teams players but instead buy and develop our own.
Reports this morning about him being made available for another 12 months loan. We can’t take him as well can we as we’re now top heavy with CB’s ?
It's nonsense from someone who's clearly forgot we bought 4 centre backs already....he also reports on wrestling, I rest my cakes.
He didn't have to sign a new contract this summer. Instead he has committed himself to Man Utd, and the consequence of that is potentially to be loaned out every year whilst they break the world transfer record for a defender. Unfortunately he is complicit in this situation. Much better for us to make permanent signings whose value (to us) increases as we develop them.
