Also was MOTM few seasons ago when Brighton beat us 2-1 at the Bridge and he scored that rocket goal. He was brilliant that game.

It his hilarous how many pundits, commentators alike do still not know how to spell his name properly. It is SIMONS ffs lol.

That is more down to us then for selling him for a lower fee and not holding out for more. I thought we sold him on the cheap considering the season he had in the Championship and his potential, however we included a sell-on clause. With Doak, however his injury was cut short, however you would see how highly Middlesbrough fans rated him and some thought he was the best player in the league itself. £25m for a good British talent from a major club is not a lot these days. He has a lot of potential, assuming he stays fit and Bournemouth have a lot of money spend after their outgoings.

Hudson-Odoi was the star of the show that second leg. Amazing when you see how far some of the players in that game have come. CHO, James, Guehi, Gilmour, Gallagher, Smith-Rowe (even though he has regressed a bit) and of course Bukayo Saka who is one of the best wingers in the league.

We should be all over Guehi now but either way, very good that we have got Hato for the mean time who is solid. I would keep Veiga too, for now who looked really good at CB for Juve on loan and has been solid for Portugal too.

I defo would be up for loaning him there. Iraola play the progressive football from the back. Would like to see this happen. Tremendous talent and glad the board are not wanting to sell him. Serious talent.

How are United making all these transfers and contemplating more, without one sale yet. Wasn't United making staff redundant because their financial situation was supposed to be so bleak...

Yep, agreed but he won't go Saudi. He is already a multi-millionaire who in his last few years, would want to prove himself after a dismal season. He has been on at least £300k p/w or the last 5 years, so money won't be a factor to make him go Saudi. Also has a young family and I don't imagine his partner wanting to go Saudi to live. He defo will wait for a move to a London team such as Fulham or West Ham and if not feasible other teams outside London, then his last option would be Europe.

If you think it is a waste of money due to who we already have, that is fair but to call him bang average is just stupid. Him and KDH is completely different. Guehi is an established England international and recent FA Cup winner and is courted by the biggest teams. KDH with all respect was never going to be a regular starter here. Guehi is a very good defender.

I wouldn't take Guehi right now, only because I don't think the money is worth it, but calling him bang average is just ridiculous. He is a very good CB. No doubts about it. There is a reason that he is being courted by CL clubs and the current PL champions.

I am surprised they haven't gone or him. Would not be surprised to see them try and Grealish now...

Bayer Leverkusen and Napoli both wanted him but he wants to stay in the PL. Villa too. I think people have judged him as if he is the finished article. He scored 6 goals and 7 goals in the league past 2 seasons. Not great, but in a awful team set up, it is decent, considering how bad United have been. Had a brilliant performance at the Bridge couple seasons ago in that dramatic game. But. yeah only 21. I like that he doesn't hide and always willing to try and beat his man and have a go. He needs to work on this, but I think he may surprise people in a few years.

I would get it if we was not in for Simons but I don't get going for both. It seems overkill and players will not be happy. Palmer will start majority of games at no.10, you would imagine. Sometimes he will be out on the wide right, but then the AM role, Enzo often plays there and Estevao can play there too. Also, I get Estevao is young, but we all have seen he has the talent, so where does he fit in. I was not expecting Gittens to start, but we now have him, Neto and Simons and Garnacho if they join who both can play there. Seems too much players. If Simons comes, I think that LW spot becomes his when Palmer is in the no.10 role so then we have how many players waiting to come of bench? This season it is good to have a big squad, but we don't want a scenario where players get unhappy quick time and rotating all the time is not good for cohesion. Let's see.

Simons has creativity and also can score goals. Last season he got 10 goals and 7 assists in 25 league appearances, whilst in 23/24 he got 8 goals and 11 assists in 32 league appearances. So that shows he has a eye or goal and can create too. Also his shooting from long range is very good. Palmer can do it here and there but Simons is the only one really, if he was to join who can hit rockets.

I think I would prefer he joins a good Championship team, such as Ipswich. Sunderland will be most likely around the relegation zone and won't create much chances and he may struggle to make a real impact there. I remember when Abraham went on loan to Swansea who were in the prem and he started fairly well, then after struggled to make an impact and was frozen out. Following season, he joined Villa on loan who were in the Championship and helped fire them to promotion. Scored 26 goals in 40 games when I check which was a phenomenal record Following season, he was our no.1 striker. I felt the Swansea loan was good but a wake up call. Guiu at the same age has not had no way near the same experience Abraham did and that is why I think it is important we make him develop without throwing him into the PL and he struggles. I also would say that Abraham was ahead of development than Guiu is at the same age and had more first team competitive football. I would prefer he goes to a premiership chasing team such as Leicester, Ipswich or Coventry where Lamps is and then take it from there.
