Manchester United XI: Johnstone Jones - Smalling - Evans - Shaw Carrick - Fletcher Young - Rooney - Lingard Wilo Subs: Amos, Keane, Blackett, Powell, Pearson, Rothwell, Zaha.

Do loans count? Tom Lawrence played for 3 clubs in the 13/14 season.

Except it is the same for all and was even explained on Sky Sports News yesterday. If you have the transfer sheet filed by the 11:00 deadline then you have an hour for international deals and an extra 2 hours for domestic deals to be finalized. It isn't different rules for all, it is the same rule of get the transfer sheet in by 11:00 and you'll get the extension to finalize the deal. If you don't submit the transfer sheet then it is tough titties. In this case, United submitted the transfer sheet.

Blind is best as a DM and can play as a LB, won't have anything to do with signing another CB or not. Blind is best as a DM and his agent has said he will be playing there. Rojo is also a CB.

What would that one trick be? United fans are saying that Gibson is a much better player than Cleverely on Redcafe Tbh that doesn't mean much as Clevs is the current scapegoat and well as a member of Redcafe I can say that over half the post are beyond stupid. Go back to when Gibson was being sold and you'll have half the posts saying he's League 1/2 standard. The general consensus I found on Everton forums last year was that James McCarthy wasn't good enough for them and they didn't want him. Fair to say most of them are clueless too. Gibo was fantastic for his first season and a half at Everton. He was a key player in their run of 14 or so matches undefeated with him in the side. For the 12/13 season they also won 52% of the matches he played in while only one 25% of those he didn't feature in. Unfortunately it is injuries that have kept him on the sidelines for so long.

First you say you can not comment because you have never seen Rojo play at CB but then you go and make judgments on him and compare him to other players. Of all the forums I have been on, Con you are in the running for the worst poster I have ever seen.

People keep trying to tell me Vlaar is too slow. What are all of your reactions to that? I think it is shite.

He's injured. Nonsense like Blackett? Clearly you didn't watch the match or any of the pre-season matches. He's been the best centre half during the tour and didn't do much wrong yesterday and was much better than Smalling. He is fantastic on the ball and is extremely composed with great passing out from the back. In no way does he need to be sent packing. Marcos Rojo is close to signing and they will share the LCB role.

I saw a soccer centre in Brampton so went down to check it out and show them how it's done. Unfortunately it was closed. The one on Sandalwood and Dixie? It is only used during the winter for 6-aside. Are you from around Brampton? Yeah I think that's the one. Why is it only used in Winter? My in-laws live there so went a couple of years back. Nice place. Is that where you are? In the summer we just play outdoors. They are only small 6-aside pitches so not many people would play it over full 11-aside pitches outside during the summer. I think they turn some of the pitches into basketball courts during the summer actually. Yeah I live quite close to that soccer centre.

What did any of them make of Tom Thorpe? Unfortunately his spell there was interrupted with an injury about 10 minutes in. Personally from watching the U21s I always thought he looked a bit better than Michael Keane who has had a few successful loans in the Championship.

Talks of Marcos Rojo being signed too. Blackett's emergence in pre-season has come as a bit of a surprise to all fans of the club. Michael Keane and Tom Thorpe were rated much higher. Keane had a good tour and Blackett was even better. Van Gaal favours having a left footed CB and has already said Blackett is capable of playing at the top level but he just doesn't know if he can play every week. Blackett's main problem has always been a lack of focus, he'd switch off to often and be caught out. The new 3 at the back system seems to fit him perfectly too as he has some clear deficiencies in a two-CB pair and at LB.

You're Canadian? His school was unbelievably good. Cyle, Keven Aleman (was at Real Valladolid but just signed for Herediano in Costa Rica. Never played for the school team though), Alex Halis, Chris Nanco (both underage Canadian internationals and both at Syracuse now), and litte Osorio (in Uruguay at Nacional). Have to say Brampton is undoubtedly the best town in Canada at footballer.

The number 2 ranked player for the 2015 draft when to my rival school. Was highly rated for the 2014 draft too but decided not to sign. Name is Cyle Larin, never played for the Canadian under age teams and wasn't rated as one of the best few at the school. Was fast as **** though and a nightmare to play against. Their whole teams was amazing but trying to track his runs was killer, I remember taking his legs out a few times as I simply couldn't keep up with his pace.

Manchester United won the Manchester Senior Cup today by a score of 4-1 against City. All four goals scored by James Wilson. All four of his goals can be seen here: http://www.redcafe.net/threads/james-wilson.390269/page-11

For 4m too. Great signing he'll be.

Ander Herrera

He always plays in the deep two for Ireland so CM isn't a foreign position to him. He also played for your reserves in CM as well.

With Van Gaal's preference to mould youth I think we may be seeing some of Ben Pearson and Joe Rothwell this season in the midfield. Ben is a energetic and feisty little lad and loves scrapping it out. The past year he played a more disciplined sitting role focusing on covering the back four but in 2012/13 for the U18s he had more freedom and showed great ability on the ball and an eye for a pass winning academy play of the year. Joe missed most of the 12/13 season with illness and injury but he had probably a better 13/14 season than Ben Pearson. A box-to-box player with a great burst of pace allowing him to make darting runs through the middle. Here is a video of Pearson putting in a great display against a midfield of Moussa Dembele and Bentaleb.

How has he never made it in the Premier League? Playing his whole career in the Premier League would point to him in fact making it in the Premier League. Roy Keane was probably a big part of this move as they played together at United and Keano brought Richardson into Sunderland.

Apparently he reached 33km/h during the Argentina match which would make him the 7th fastest player in the world.

Cortese left in January. Why would he be designing the kits?

He supports Spurs so 98% sure he is talking shite. No offence mate. ...more than likely Jack, the fact a talent like he is entering the last year of his contract speaks volumes at how this club is being run at the moment. Let's hope Jack and his family don't feel messed about and start looking at the tons of options he would have available to him in a years time. Players under the age of 18 can only sign 2 year contracts max I believe. Can I be Jack's agent?

You got that right. Football will never be bigger than the GAA in Ireland so we have to build up our football infrastructure globally. It is quite a revolutionary plan really.

MON is meant to be going to the Villa v Spurs match tomorrow. Going to try get Naughton and Kane to play for England. Reports earlier of trying to get Wickham to play for us and Patrick Bamford would be a good one to try get back too. May as well try get Michael and Will Keane while we're at it.
