I just hate his corners...please god just put some pace on the ball.

This couldn't have come at a worse time. Getting married on Monday, last day at work today so frantically pulling together everything...now i'm sat on here for the day! Great appointment if it comes off. Best we could conceivably get and the right move for him as well.

This thread has gone the way of the Marc Albrighton and Barry Bannan ones before it. He's made 1 Excellent Performance and had 2 Good Performances in 2 Years. As Gareth says it's encouraging but comparing him to Samir Nasri or saying he's potentially worth £25m is a bit rich. Remember he is abright spark in a very dull team, Samir Nasri is in a team full of stars. Playing well and we should keep him but other that very much let's wait and see if he c an string 10-15 performances together.

This is how I see Delph and as Ponky said he looked great when he first signed pinging balls around and we haven't seen that plus Bannan is better than him at doing it. Each game barring perhaps Fulham and Blackburn the ball is bouncing off him and he looks a yellow card waiting to happen.

We must go for them, surprised so many have moved Herd to right back as he's been excellent in CM. It will more than likely be: Given, Hutton, Dunne, Collins, Warnock, Herd, Petrov, Jenas, Bannan/Heskey/N'Zogbia, Agbonlahor, Bent I do hope Clark plays instead of Collins as he needs a kick up, only bonus here is Swansea are not that cut throat but they'll get chances!

I think Clark should get a chance when he is fit, until then we are stuck with Collins but he is too rash in everything he does. Also how did Collins get 2 Bonus Points in Fantasy League this week, easily our 3rd weakest player on show.

We had the same conversations when he played against Fulham and United last year. Realistically he's had one good 20-25 minutes spell and took a very cool penalty. If he's does this over 20-25 games, then we'll have a player. If he has a season similiar to last he'll be a Steven Davis.

Can't be true, there are better players out there for United. Back to yesterday's performance. I'd say it was encouraging. First half I'd go as far to say he was our worse player up until he had the free kick. Was taking too much time on the ball and getting dispossessed. Second half, great link up play with Ireland, Gabby and Warnock plus a superb penalty. Deserves to keep his spot and if we start to use Ireland and Bannan well we might just be better to watch!

Yesterday's most worrying part was when he was one on one with L.Young (i think), and last year he ripped past him and scored at Villa Park. At Loftus Road he looked up, turned around and bumbled out to the side waiting for support. Not quite the player we bought. Hopefully a game against his old club will motivate him. If not performance pull him out of the firing line as against City him giving the ball away will only add to the scoreline.

I think it will be: Given, Hutton, Warnock, Dunne, Collins, Petrov, Jenas, Heskey, N’Zogbia, Agbonlahor, Bent. Subs: Guzan, Clark, Herd/Ireland, Bannan, Delph, Albrighton, Fonz

One of footballs biggest myths. I would say in our squad only Gabby, Bent and N'zogbia would comfortably beat him in a foot race along with he is fat another myth I think Dunne just suffers from this opinion because he has an odd body shape that makes him look immovable and fat. Our best defender by a good margin.

Jimmy Bullard has signed for Ipswich. Very predictable.

Samba and Givet are supposedly back but I think Nelsen is still out. Think we would have walked it with last week’s defence. With that in mind, I think Heskey will play and wouldn’t be surprised to see the same team after Mcleish praised both him and Gabby. Although I would prefer to see either Ireland or Albrighton in for Gabby.

Definitely has a job to do here. Delph, Bannan, Makoun and Gardner are all unproven. Steady Eddy or not Stan gave us some good performances last season and even if it's for 20 minutes shoring up the games later in the season he should stay.
