 Garner would just be a bench warmer at best.

instead of spending all this money on speculative Gambles just offer Man City their money back and bring the boy home

That’s what I would do 100% (not saying he’d come back but hey worth a try)

They work for Talksport and don't like Tyrone Mings.

Being linked with Man United youngster, James Garner again. £14mill.
Does he still live in a caravan?

And is his nickname Rocky?

Could be worse I suppose, we could be in for Petrochelli.  One for the older people on this site!!

I wonder if he ever did finish building that house

We had Danny Ings doing that under Dean last season.

Eh, if they think he’s the answer we’re in trouble, might as well save the money and bring Ramsey back from loan.

A reminder on what SG said about recruitment which would mean someone like James Garner wouldn't be signed.

"I think the spine of the team needs some support,
"You can never stop working with your players, trying to improve them. But sometimes individual errors are on the individuals. If things don't change you are left with no choice. You either change them with someone else in the building or you upgrade them.

When you are trying to get players in, it is not just about whether they can play, it is about what else they can bring to the culture. We are not just trying to recruit talent. We are trying to recruit characters, leaders and winners. We are looking for good people

I don't need quantity. I am looking for upgrades in certain areas of the team, who will naturally make the squad better. We are looking to bring in players who are ready to play"

I wish we'd recruit a manager with similar attributes.
