If Darmian is above Shaw in a game like last night then that's a big worry as Darmian is bang average.
Smalling is 8 foot tall but has scored 7 goals in 149 league appearances - can't pass without some sort of tantric yoga move with his right groin- loses forwards- really what's the point? Jones: worse goals record than Smalling but on the plus side can pass and actually bring the ball out of defence and will clatter forwards and head the ball on the floor, takes a mean corner. Best of all the perfect excuse for explaining a player's absence for dubious reasons ' injured by Phil Jones in training' covers a multitude of sins. A keeper (probably). |

have a feeling jose will retain smalling, for sure until late in the window anyway depending who he's chasing...
quite how he thinks he'll ever get smalling to organise his own game consistently, never mind organise the players around him is another matter. still, suppose if he never has to do the 2nd bit then he's a passable reserve. |

Who are the targets to replace the ones we dump?
No outstanding candidates in the PL who would be worth the extra PL tax, Koscielny, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, good but still questions over them, especially the Spurs pair who play with 2 defensive midfielders protecting them fairly often. Manolas is often mentioned, watched him against Lyon for Roma last week and he was unimpressive, leaden footed and pedestrian against a speedy attack. Our current 4 are all at a similar level, Bailly might have the potential to go beyond that. Problem is no natural leader/organizer, find that player and he improves them all. 1 to go probably, Smalling or Jones. Shaw drifting away would be seriously depressing. |

Tony V, Shaw, Eric and Marcos. Maybe Darmian. Mou did mention how darmian can play across the back either as a cb or wb. I am fine with him being a squad player.
Jonesy is still inconsistent. With injuries waiting to happen, I rather have him gone. Mike Smalling. Whats there to say about this assclown? Out. |

We're 2 goals worse off than the best in the division, we've conceded 30 odd goals in 50 odd games all competitions, all while apparently playing complete jackasses plus Eric Bailly behind a holding midfielder in Herrera that the sages on here don't think is United quality either.
Our defence is not the reason we are 6th or why we're out of the FA Cup. The idea it's just a massive shit fest is massively overplayed on here. |
