I have been thinking about Gedson and genuinely not sure what's going on. He hasn't made the bench this season so why would we waste a squad place. Got a feeling he may head back to Portugal before the window closes. We may just be waiting to see how it all pans out. Jose's 'puzzle'.
They deffo know nothing but meh.

Skriniar's imminent sale to Tottenham for 45 million could pave the way for the French midfielder Chelsea, although further disposals are needed, and even Smalling as a new element in defense.
I stopped reading by half way through the first paragraphI need som insight here people ...
I don´t watch much Serie A anymore, and haven´t seen Skriniar in any matches to be honest.
I see in FIFA and FM that he´s not very fast - it seems like he has got not much pace about him, mediocre at best: 69 of 100 in FIFA, and 13 + 14 of 20 in accelaration and pace respectively in FM. I know these are just computer games, but FM is known to have one of the best scouting networks in the world, and is used by real managers and clubs to get a first impression of players.
And: Skriniar is right footed. After Jan left we´re desperately lacking of left footed natural CDs (Davies is not a natural central defender).
Sanchez has decent pace. Dier too (or he used to have: uncertain about his pace over the last season or two). Davies and Toby are defo on the slow side, Doherty is no Kyle Walker either (Aurier is slightly better in that aspect). Reguilon should have decent pace. But compared to our best season a couple of years ago when Walker and Rose covered for Jan & Toby´s lack of speed, we now have a kind of slowish back line. And with no established cover in midfield (still early days for PEH) to protect the defence, our defence is in dire need of quick legs imho.
Those of you that have seen Skriniar play and know about him, and taking in the difference of speed of play from Serie A to PL: is he quick enough to play in a slightly unprotected defence who has no Usain Bolt look a likes in it? Or is he a positional genius and does he have such a great reading of the game that he can disguise his lack of natural speed? Like Jan to some degree did at his best (and even our great Ledley)?
In short, however unrealistic it might be, I´d love us to get a fast, left footed power house of a central defender who can be the leader of our back line for many years. If not left footed, at least very comfortable in playing in the left side. Is Skriniar this player?
Honest question guys - I want to know and understand more why some are so adamant that this guys is the solution to all our problems.
Exactly. Even Dele is a better option as a midfield player.
Both clubs won't sign CB this window...
Because all reliable reports about United are they won't sign center back this window and Chelsea wants Rice as a 6?
Both clubs problems aren't their lack of a cb but the lack of a top manager. This is why we will finish top 4.
