Basically we've binned the two big names in our academy.
Yeah. You never know with coaches. I'd have thought Eric Steele would stick around for sure with United given his reputation, but he's at Derby now.
Huge shame for us fans though, lots of faith was placed in Borrell especially.
Because he expected to become the DOF under Rodgers and was pissed when that never came.
Iirc, Barça tried to resign Borrell when Pep was still in charge. Wouldn't be surprised to see him end up there (wouldn't be surprised if he eventually managed their first team)
Will be interesting to see who replaces them.
Segura wasn't fired, he quit as he was originally going to move up to a DoF like position until Rodgers came in.
Can't say I'm particularly surprised by McParland, since it wasn't really clear what he ever did. He was brought in to oversee the changes and appoint new men to take the academy forward, but once Segura and Borrell came in it seems like he was mostly just an administrator or something. Borrell is the strange one since it suggests the club will once again overhaul their approach to youth development unless the new director is fairly similar.
Well, that was a rumor that was floated around (that he'd be technical director) but afaik there was never any real indication that it was true.

You'd think Arsenal fans would be happy just to be first in the PL but nope, they're even worse at dreaming of new players. Hope you get relegated, babes.
Wondered that myself.
There you have it. Nothing to worry about here, United fans, Anderson is happy and enjoying his paycheck.
Critchley, the u-18s coach is more likely as he held a similar position at Crewe. I doubt either will be promoted though, seeing as both were only recently hired to be managers.

Oh Mamadou you glorious bastard. More of the same pls.
@people who watched the France match, how was Sakho's defensive performance?
3DS arrives, realise that the power adaptor might not be here til tomorrow. Shit.

Sorry but I don't have time to analyze every post by Arsenal-GAF creaming over players they could sign/play for a national team/etc. It wasn't only directed at your post, there are more than a few guys here that really think so.
You can be sure I'd like it. I'd take Liverpool over City in the CL everyday.
Grats on the win, Everton.
Just buy Neil Taylor, Rodgers. You know you've been wanting to since day one.

Shit. Johnson on the left pls unless Cissokho plays well for the first time in 4 years
When is the next match where we could feasibly give Robinson another chance?

Who plays on the right if Johnson plays left? Kelly apparently can't play more than 30 mins, Flanagan is no long term solution, and McLaughlin is way to young and inexperienced.
Didn't Flanagan already start a league game this season? I can't remember how he did but you could always play Toure there if you had to.
I fully expect to see Cissokho against Everton, but with the easier fixtures after that there's an opportunity for Rodgers to try a few experiments. Sakho has filled in at LB before this season and I believe Ilori played there for Sporting on occasion. Meanwhile at RB there are the 3 you mentioned, plus moving Henderson or Stirling back there again.
And even if Robinson isn't available, there's still the possibility of Brad Smith getting his chance at LB from the youth teams, he was supposedly in line before a bad injury anyway

Against Leverukusen, United will field two of Cleverley, Anderfat, and Giggs. Jones and Carrick are injured. Fellaini is suspended.

McLaughlin is ready for 'easy' home games I think, at least to play the Wisdom role of being trusted for a while, getting some good experience and then moving back into the youth setup. Or go back to 3-5-2 and play Henderson or Sterling there. Or pray to Suso that Kelly is fit enough to last 70 minutes
Or as sohois said, give Brad Smith a go at LB. He's been in great form for the U21s apparently
edit: Infamous and Destiny preorders cancelled by Sainsbury's. Cunts.

FF is probably buying both of them.
Is that the one where Madrid had like 15% possession?

I wonder why those stupidly rich footballers who were paid even more money to say those things didn't mention the terrible value of the Xbone compared to the PS4, which is $100 cheaper and more powerful.
They pick the shittest has-been English players (Cole was never a 'been' though) whose relevance has diminished as Xbox One promoters? Standard. They got fuck all else to do so it makes sense to ask them.
In other news my FIFA 14 and AC4 PS4 copies have been dispatched. Thanks Amazon but WHAT DO I PLAY THEM ON.

Paying to be associated with... SWP, Bent and Carlton Cole.... That's just weird, could get some crackwhores to get XBONE tattooed on their forehead and just stand outside all day for much cheaper and it would no doubt be better than fucking SWP.
