He's not that experienced he's played 93 games in 10 seasons.

Fair enough...

Let's just hope De Gea does not get injured so!

We are kinda lacking backup in general at present

Ah right, he wasn't happy to be back up though and in fairness he isn't that much better then the likes of Johnson and Amos who will be a lot happier to sit on the bench.

The offical twitter account seems to think people are coming :pac:

What would they know?

Just another ITK on twitter...

I know what you mean but the way luck goes you can see away to Chelsea and De Gea is out.....


I'd still just about prefer to had Anders between the sticks especially since we are only starting the LVG era and with the amount of supposed and mooted changes elsewhere on the pitch you'd expect some stability in one of the most important areas.....

Agreed... if he's gone that would scare me more than the shortage of numbers in defence.

Maybe he finally sold the house!

The Moldy Gowl

So it will be 7 o clock Italian time?

Im gonna go out on a limb here and assume matters like these are done in business hours like 8-5/6

Why would there be an annoucement after this time?

Cypher_sounds

Can see Vidal moving to Bayern, wouldn't that be fun to watch:pac:

Let me guess: "Arturo Vidal has agreed a new contract with Juventus"

(I'll go bat sh*t crazy if he actually signs for us)

Lindegaard was useless, and a moaner with it. Good riddance.

???? he is one of the best back up keepers in the league and i dont think ive seen one story involving him in recent years that wasnt outside the ordinary "i want to play" story that normally is associated with footballers.

ill put it this way, id rather him in nets if DDG gets injured before Amos or Johnstone.

getting rid of him makes very little sense unless we are signing another keeper instead of him.

Ed The Equalizer

This is what we're trying to compete against - the £382m team!

On the basis that I think we'll sign 1-2 defenders but might not replace Lindegaard and then have to rely on 1 of the youngsters in a big game

Will Blackett feature this weekend and beyond do ye reckon?

Think it depends on any injuries and fitness worries. He has a strong chance though.

Andy Mitten will be on OTB after 9 this evening so he might have some news for us too???

hard to know, maybe due to the defensive crisis we now have, we may only play 4 at the back but its impossible to tell, especially as Evans injury remains unconfirmed and we dont know whether or not Valencia will be fit. assuming they all are fit, youd imagine we would line up like this.

---

Jones----Smalling

---

Evans----
Valencia

---

Young

if Evans and Valencia are out, then its Blackett and James in with Young moving to RWB, Keane as our only defender on the bench. it really is desperation stakes at the back at the moment

Sure we know you're ITK but ye don't need to post on twitter
Yea your man Pendred looked like a right good CB at the UFC alright
Nelson looks like a man that could paly midfield

yermandan

Lads, I just said 'ITKs' because the ones in question are dubious, but for the first time in ages it was all at the same time. Indyakalia etc etc

MagicIRL

Indyakalia is the **** that got away and nothing more.

Can we go four at the back, who goes to left back in that scenario?

AGH FFS Dan
as a respectable poster you quoting your man Indy saddens me
sure Larry and Bangkok are more reliable than that clown, and we know how reliable that pair are
if it was Palmieri or ballsac or Hunter the're a bit credible but Indy "f****n" kalia...

yermandan

Jayzis, really?

Learning as I go I suppose.

Also, a side-effect of needing to hear about a top MF signing as the rest of us

hufpc8w3adnk65

What price is Vidal too sign a new deal lads? This months rent on it!

yermandan

I know Brinty, that's why I deliberately didnt post the tweets!!!

Just for that, I shall TRIPLE the amount that goes to charity should our paid league get to 22 members (currently 11).

yep, thats why people are saying which ITK's as theres so few to trust..
Best thing, think we'll not sign anyone and when we do sign someone its a bonus

Larrys mate in JP Morgans prob just threw a tenner on it and the bookies got afraid.

Is that the 3rd time they've suspended betting on Vidal? Why do they keep re-starting it at all?

I went looking for it on oddschecker during the week and couldn't find a market for it.

TheTownie

It was suspended last night was it not?

Vidal club after Sep 2 is still open:

Rayne Wooney

He's going to end up going to Bayern isn't he, Javi Martinez got a bad injury in the game today, along with Thiago still out and Kroos gone they are looking light

Nope. Valencia is injured and Anderson isn't fit.
Cleverley is firing on all two cylinders though!

That Javi Martinez injury could be bad news re vidal. If those cnuts snap up another top player i ll be disgusted. A bit off topic but I hate the way Bayern seem to think they have a divine right to buy every up and coming German player. Its as if they say ''you can train him, prepare him for the big time and then hand him over to us ready made''. I hope Reus doesnt end up going to them in the long run. The way they acted with Gotze before the CL final v Dortmund was classless.

Mr.Crinklewood

Its been an hour since that tweet so any idea what the rumor was? Or was it bs
