Neves is the real deal. Genuinely can't fathom why none of the big boys have picked him up. That's my objective view having watched him for the past 5 years or so and comparing him to the individual...

Me too.

The only time it got close was last summer. Arsenal were going to sign him for £30m but then Xhaka ended up staying so the move fell through. Neves was all but gone, but apart from that...

Categorically. Game went exactly as I thought it would. Were it not for the keeper, could and should have been 4 or 5 even though Utd played with some nerves.

What's the point even? Would rather...

Went in to last night's game fairly non-plussed. FA Cup not really a priority.

By the end, I wanted to stove the TV in. So very pleased the magic of the competition is back.

Common knowledge he's been holding out for a Champions League club (even though he currently plays for one).

City and Liverpool both interested, but midfield not a priority for either of them...

He did. We had a £20m buy option at the end of his loan. I was glad we didn't exercise it.

Tidy player but did nothing to make me think he was anything more than that. Just get Garner the first...

Been brilliant this season. Really upped his all round game.

Same age as De Jong, premier League proven and an absolute professional.

Not only would he be cheaper than De Jong, he'd actually...

I'd genuinely, for real, rather be in the championship.

Two games a week, no VAR, less focus on bullshit and refs. Premier League is a massively overrated hype-bubble. Managers like Klopp, Tuchel,...

Seems like we've played you about 20 times in 3 seasons.

Normally we get the usual Wolves raise their levels to try and compete with Utd (which annoys me) but last night, well, Norwich gave us a...

Chelsea throwing a full on paddy yesterday. They only had Saul, Kovacic and Barkley (about £80m worth) to come off the bench to relieve Kante,...

Was set to be Wolves manager when the Chinese takeover happened, but then get offered the Spanish national job.

Neto broke his kneecap toward the back end of last season, so isn't expected back until the new year. I'd much prefer we loaned someone to fill that gap rather than splashing £15m of Mendes dollars...

I sort of understand it in a normal organisation, top earners bringing everyone else's pay up. But I'd be amazed if Utd *need* to do it and it looks more like they choose to do it.

So if Bailly's...

Replaced him already. Can you guess what country he comes from?

Taking shots against John Ruddy is just a way to get the forwards a bit of confidence.
