If the media reports are accurate, Utd are showing an interest in Nkunku.

I have also just seen a quote from Matt Law suggesting some sort of deal with us taking Garnacho.

I am not a massive fan of Garnacho as a player and I would much prefer Gittens.

Tom

These type of deals never work, just look at the one with CG and JF.

If we don't want Nkunku then sell him.

I also believe Gittens will end up at Bayern.

I think we will sign them both Tom and send George on loan. Garnacho is very talented, home grown, has a goal in him but does come with a bit of attitude so like you I'm unsure on him but if cash comes our way and we get rid of that lazy fecker Nkunku I will be pleased. Gittens is a very direct winger who will give us another option and I think this one will happen. Neto is top drawer and a brilliant pick up in the summer 24 wimdow and I expect him, Palmer and Estevao Willian to slot in behind Delap with Noni, Garnacho and Gittens giving strong back up. Jackson to stay or go will be the interesting one for me.

It’s almost written in stone that he leaves this summer. But, it’s a shame that we’ve ever really seen Nkunku as an inside left forward alongside Palmer as an inside right forward - both behind a decent striker.

Greenaway

I did not think we would let Jackson go but there continues to be a lot of media noise at the moment.

One thing is for sure, we need at least another striker in before this happens, if it does and the movement needs to be early in the window.

I still think Gittens will finish up in Munich.

Bill, I remain hopeful/ confident that Gittens will be joining us.

I am also hopeful of another forward joing and then I assume Guiu will go out on loan. Maybe to Ipswich.

Bill, I have just been told Gittens is a done deal and will be announced shortly. He joins Chelsea.

I don’t believe that even our SDs would be pea-brained enough to consider Garnacho. As a player his lightweight and lazy. More worryingly, his attitude stinks: Amorim and the Man U fans can’t wait to see the back of him.

Personally think it's a shame we've never got to see the best of Nkunku. He looked electric in the first few games back from injury. Seems a bit lost in Maresca's system (not unlike Gusto), and his body language this season hasn't read well at all – looks like petulance and downed tools, a lack of fight to win his place, which is disappointing (but I guess also somewhat inevitable if you're not sure what your place might actually be in the team in the way we're set up) .

The manager has a choice to make. If he plays with Palmer in the middle semi supporting our CF then Nkunku doesn’t get a game.

I personally would have dropped Palmer for a few games last season and given Nkunku a chance to impress. In that position.

If Palmer plays on the right then the dynamic and shape of the team changes probably to a 433 and then again Nkunku doesn’t get a game.

It’s a tough gig for the lad.

I kno it was ed1 who said long contracts can be a problem after the time because the incentivisation is gone and the player can do the 'down tool' because he's going to be payed by the club any way so it might be that and mudrik has 7 year as well.

I’m not sure I totally buy into the “length” of being the only reason a player might lose interest in giving his best.

Maybe a percentage of it is down to personal ambition, professionalism or just maybe money.

Whatever it is, some players just seem to lose there way!

Nkunku only has 3 years left on his contract, so not really a situation to down tools.

fuser, that’s why I’m not totally convinced about the length of contract argument.

I just think there are so many variables it’s just unlikely to be a one size fits all reason.
