Oh, haha

Pjanic is quite well known I think, CM

Ounas is a winger from France, only 19 looks tricky as fk, it's mainly been UK tabloids linking us though

Again just rumour but apparently we were made aware of Vardy release clause but opted not to take it up as we didn't want to impede Rashford. Hope that's true as it shows really good intent from the club.

United were reported as very interested in ounas on one of the fan sites about 4 weeks ago by a guy who is well connected in Spain,so there is some truth in that.

Buzzing about zlatan.

If your 'one trick' is scoring goals, then it's not a bad trick to be able to carry off.
1 season wonder possibly.His record prior to this season is st basically.
That's just not true.

His first season in the Premier League, he scored 5 in 37 with quite a few games off the bench, not playing as far forward and in a team that only escaped relegation by the skin of their teth after a fantastic run.

He's scored 50 goals in 120 starts + 24 subs for Leicester.

He scored 34 goals in 38 starts + 2 subs for Fleetwood.

Do I think he'd be a good signing for you? Probably not, with Martial and Rashford and millions to spend, you could do better. But his record is far from st.

There's some truth in it because it was reported on one of the fan sites?!

It is true,in the context of him being a goal machine which is what I replied to ,he scored about 26 goals in 106! appearances prior to last season,this is not the record of a prolific goal machine.

Is he related to Gary hehe? He came to my school when I was a nipper, got me on the red path. Apparently Eric's a CB, quite young but very promising albeit raw. Completely off the radar though, so it'll be interesting to see some more about him.

A lot of pretty average strikers have one good season in their late 20s. The press talk about him like he is 22.
1 goal in 4 games for someone who offers nothing but goal scoring is terrible.

He's good on football manager. Not a 'must buy', but good... not like that's a benchmark or anything.

Actually with my vast knowledge of Spanish football (I Watched a 2 minute you tube video of him) he is strong,fast and tackles like Carlton palmer.

I've watched a fair bit of Bailley and think he looks fantastic. From the verry first game I watched with him I thought "who's this guy? he looks decent", he was fast, strong, positionally very good and seemed to inspire confidence around him, for that reason I was shocked when I discovered his age.

He is prone to the odd mistake, but no more than someone like Stone's, I would be delighted with the signing as he could form a great partnership with Smalling long term smile

Leaked Fixtures?:

Also, friends in Sweden tell me that Zlatan gets revealed/announced tomorrow?
