Tuanzebe has probably thrown his career away because he couldn't get over his ego that he was never going to break into the United side and needed to move away to get regular first team football.

That's a weird perspective.

He had a good season on loan and then his parent club said he ha a important future with them.

He's waited for a chance there.

Agree Malandro, the injuries since he went back have been a killer, I have no doubt if he had had an injury free season he would have shifted Lindelof & be partnering Maguire now....so it was completely the right decision he made.  If Engels does leave & Utd are willing to loan Axel for another season would take him in a heartbeat

I’d like us to be looking at Will Hughes. Available for under £10m allegedly. Ticks loads of boxes for us.
Ajer from Celtic at CB too I’d be all over

Weird that Traore only popped up as a possibility a couple of weeks ag and is now 'done'....... whereas Rashica seems to have been bubbling along for most of my adult life.

from BBC Gossip: Wolves are interested in signing 27-year-old Liverpool and England midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

now that would be a great signing for us. I'd like to think we'd be interested there - as would most clubs.

Blimey when did he become 27? I still think him as a young prospect.

Hughes a big upgrade on Connor? Sorry I just don't see it. I remember plenty of hype about him when he was at Derby but I haven't seen anything from him in the last few years that have stood out. To kick on up the league we will need better players than Hughes.

Yep. Changing Hughes for Hourihane would be pointless.

Agree, he’s looked a nonentity at Watford.

I’ve never been Conor’s biggest fan in open play but am more than happy that he is a squad option and is a better option than Hughes.

If we are going for a centre mid then would like to see a big, athletic enforcer type

Tuanzebe gets better the more time he's injured/benched which seems to be all the time. I'd rather Engels was bjorn again and given a second chance.

yep, the ManU lot seem to think there's a serious question mark about his injury problems. Almost like us when we had complete radio silence over Richards.

Every player does with a long term injury - Richard Dunne was the best.
