You seem pretty sure about it not panning out that way. Everton could potentially break into the Top 6 with Zaha which is a way nicer situation to be in than playing for Palace while they fight for a 11-15 spot (best case scenario).

Under VAR will concede the most penalties in the prem with all the shirt grabbing he does.These pricks are willing to pay £30m for Iwobi and £70m for Zaha, yet they want Smalling on loan?
Feck sake lads, at least have the decency to offer us £15-20m. Smalling is a very good defender despite his weaknesses on the ball.
Average defender.
Are you saying AWB and Maguire cannot pass? I think you'll find that's inaccurate.
Did you actually watch AWB in pre-season? He was excellent going forward almost as much as he was excellent defending.
Well said.
With the clusterfeck that Ed has put us in, at least it has tapered my expectations. If we get 4th, it will be a miracle. Ole deserves the Manager of the Year for that.
Agreed.
Seven CBs we are an absolute shambles
I imagine Zidane will not make overtures for Eriksen as he wants Pogba, either now or next summer. A very strange window of clubs needing to shunt players around against their will. Mostly seems like tabloid nonsense though, I do wonder how much of any of it is true.
He's just bought one of the best defenders for exactly that though
Wonder what the bid will be? 75 million Euros payable over 15 years?
I honestly can't see us getting more than a point from our opening two fixtures.
This 100%
I remember when we sold Stam to Lazio for around 17 million quid. It was payable over 10 years I think and even then the feckers failed to pay an installment and the Italian league had to stump up the money from some kind of hardship fund.
Ole will deserve that for finishing top 10.
Hopefully the club did at least say to Everton what about Jones or Rojo.
I like Smalling but I doubt Solskjaer seems him as 'integral'.
More likely we just don't want to loan one of the few CBs we have who other clubs might actually buy.

You don't move out your very useful squad players in order to give chances to young players, when there's useless squad members laying about. Rojo and Bailly hardly ever play. They spend 6/9 months on the treatment table interspersed with a few appearances where they look absolutely crap. Move them out and there'd be plenty of space for Tuanzebe.
Bollocks. He's played plenty games with VAR and conceded feck all penalties.
This is my worry. Every match he will give away a penalty. We see it week in week out, multiple times per game.
Three of at them are usually injured at the same time anyway so maybe there'll finally be a season that doesn't require a midfielder to play there.
I don’t know why everyone is losing their shit. This is exactly what I wanted - careful, considerate transfers. We have bought in two players who,by the end of the season, I am very confident will be considered two of the best in our squad and the league. We want and need midfield reinforcements but it just can’t be anybody - it has to be a player of quality, who is hungry for the challenge and wants to be at the club for the right reasons! If we did indeed pull our of both Dybala and Erickson because they didn’t want to be here then that’s fine with me.
This model Ole and the club is taking is not going to be quick - it’s going to be a painful, slow transition to being a good team again and I think it’s the right one.

Obviously didn't watch any pre-season games. It was fairly obvious that this season we can expect much less long balls from DDG
1.5 days
Please will you and people who keep saying similar look up the actual situations VAR will be used in.
Which plenty of games has he played that used VAR?
FA cup last season VAR was used I think
Getting rid of Smalling would be definitely soften the blow of not signing anyone else this transfer window.
Have a break all this negativity for nothing. We just fixed our defence ffs
I would take a free agent CM now or a loan one because things are absolutely desperate
Everton pulled out of deal for Doucoure. Think it be worth a punt and try and add 1 or 2 players as part of deal. Add steel to our midfield and has good engine to get box to box.
Yes, the relationship between Ole and Woodward might be doomed from the start, we won't know until we see it over the course of a season. You seem really determined to make Ole out as some kind of spineless man, but he's put faith in some of our important players while also making our team look a hell of a lot better than Mourinho ever did. If you don't get the exact tools you want for a job, you either quit or stay and fight until you get what you want.
And yes, it's a forum. That means I can critizise your opinion also. I may have been a bit rude, it's just that you seem a bit too impatient when taken into account that this project has barely started. You're slating a manager before he's even gotten his first game with his first pre-season and his first own signings. He leaves it up to Woodward to sell these players, and I want them out as much as you do, but he also focuses on the positives rather than the negatives which we sorely need after Mourinho.
Sell 2 though and we have 4 for rotation and bailly as backup. That's not too bad
VAR will be used in all 360 Premier League matches this season.
It will only be used for incidents involving
- each goal scored
- each penalty awarded
- each straight red card shown
- cases of mistaken identity
There's no one in for them though
It was, but hardly plenty of games is it... a few at most.

The main issue most fans have is that we should be competing for the league. It's obvious that we should. But we're not making the right decisions. Liverpool in this position last year decided to fix their two biggest issues over a few months. They won the CL and nearly won the league. Once you fix your biggest weaknesses you have a chance. But United doesn't have the right owners. So we're left hoping that we're good enough. Meanwhile teams like Everton and Wolves have far superior midfields.
I think I've finally made peace with the fact that we're not going to get another signing in.
Nobody is getting rid of Smalling while keeping Jones/Rojo.
You can only sell players if another club wants them.

Wonder what his wife has to say about that.
If we don’t bring anyone else in, where’s the motivation to even turn on the telly for the Chelsea game? It will take a modern miracle to scrape a top 4 finish this year.
