He’s not registered for the PL squad this season. No-one’s going to loan or buy a striker who hasn’t kicked a ball for 18 months.
We can reregister him at the end of the transfer window if players leave though surely? Not saying that you're wrong, and I think he is being trained up for a transfer, but I think it's possible he could play again if we wanted him to.

Apparently Omari Forson has signed for United. I know nothing about him but I have seen him mentioned in this thread before and how his situation was up in the air. I wonder what the fall out was about? He was linked with multiple clubs, right?

Guess that's killed any feint hope I had of him signing up again. I don't know any actual details but he has joined us from West Ham so I think he's used to moving and looked to force a move I think. It may have also been for a better pathway. I think the issue is he tried to force the move halfway through a scholarship so got himself stuck, and we possibly blocked it, but a lot is speculation as he apparently has signed now.

Tbf to him of all the top 6 clubs to go to I reckon United are the best club to be at. He will either get a good loan or as a good a route to the first team as any of the other top clubs.

Honestly quite disappointed to see us linked with signing Aarons from Norwich when KWP still doesn't get a chance. Such a case of the grass being greener if we do indeed sign him...

We also have Hinds behind KWP who is a player a lot of people like as well.

Why are you disappointed? There have been rumours of Aurier being allowed to leave on loan or permanent and Tripper is having a bit of a mare recently. A suite of Peters and Aarons would, potentially, be a great pairing to have back there.

So with our injury crisis, I see a lot of people on here and on social media suggesting that it may mean Parrott is included on the bench at some stage while Kane and Son are out, and Lucas injured.

I know he's only 16, but for those that have actually watched him play, do you genuinely believe this could be the case? Is he really capable of perhaps playing 10-15 minutes off the bench if needed despite his age? Or do you think it's all a bit fanciful still?

Huge talent but very, very raw. I don't know if he'd be ready. To link up with the likes of Ericksen and Co you need to be sharp of mind and smart. It's a lot to ask of the lad.

Vincent? Poch said in the interview after the UTD game that he is not in his plans.

Beggars can't be choosers. Poch is an obstinate so and so sometimes. Definitely his least appealing characteristic. If we need an extra body and we're not going to spend, then for crying out loud at least consider it. Instead of cutting off his nose to spite his face.

Even if Moura is fit I’d imagine there will be a youth attacking player on the bench. Even if used Nkoudou they’d still be a spot free unless poch goes heavy on defenders. If we go 4231 then likely Moura/ llorente up top. The one that doesn’t start would be our only available attacking sub.

I'm pretty sure we're not in Janssen's either to be honest. Its not like Poch to officially ostracise a player unless its clear that bridges have been burnt. I'm just reading between the lines etc but I felt from pretty early on that Janssen gave up ever making it here and got a bit sulky about it. I don't think that would have impressed Poch.

You’d have to think if Sterling doesn’t get a look in at this point he’s pretty done with us.

Just sent out a bat signal for Edwards and Onomah to suddenly step out of the shadows and become the players we all believe they can/could be. Could do worse in this situation, until I remembered (I think) that they're both injured too. Rubbish timing.
