It was merely a sideways glance at the ridiculous ease of gaining a full England cap these days - contrast with Steve Bruce - both cheeky and clever IMO

If that really passes for cleverness in your book, surely you're not in a position to criticize low bars of any kind?
Are you rating your own joke?
I liked Sparky's joke, then again I would
I believe so...moving on...
In the squad tomorrow?
what ever happened to this guy?
had high hopes for him back in 2015 !

So did LVG. Sadly it didn't work out
He's not that great.
Still at United. His contract is up next June.
He was on trial at a Heerenveen in the summer but they declined to sign him.

Random bump!
Good question. Is he still a United player?
Him and Demi Mitchell stand out like a sore thumb in our squad, sadly. Hope a good club can come in and give them a chance to start anew.
I thought Mitchell would be back up to Scotland. CBJ too. Joel Pereira was the last youngster I expected to go to Hearts.
Yeah, but what about Sergio Canales?
Is Mitchell still injured? I always liked him as a left back, would love to see him get back and put in some great performances, but sadly I think his boat has sailed. Williams seems to be the next great thing on the horizon. With CBJ, I never thought he had what it takes to nail down a first team spot, although he had a tremendous ability to whip crosses into the box, but his defensive side was poor. Looks like they could be on their way next summer.
Cheers for the update
He's a prime example of one where the loan system failed him completely, hope he can still get a career somewhere
How have you come to the conclusion CBJ is poor defensively but then you like Demi who can't defend to save his life. CBJ played CB growing up and is about 10x better defensively than Demi. You'll be hard pressed to find a fullback worse defensively than Demi.
Didn't he fail a trial for a Dutch club that Van Gaal gave a word for?
Because that is my opinion, and I stick by it.
What that Demi is better defensively? Believe it all you want but it is categorically wrong. Demi has been beyond shit defensively at every level and club he's played at.
I thought he looked quite composed and liked his crossing and passing in his few appearances here.
I get your point.
Yeah he looked tidy enough for us. I'm quite surprised he's struggling for a club, based on the limited number of times we saw him.
On loan to Tranmere for the whole season (makes zero sense 
).
).What about it makes zero sense? We don't want him and no one wants to pay for him.On loan to Tranmere for the whole season (makes zero sense

Because?
Pretty obvious he’s done here given that plenty actually thought he was gone. No one wanted to pay so we loaned him.

Release him from his contract.
He's getting paid way more here than anyone will offer him. Now that makes zero sense, why would he agree to that? Not to mention what benefit to we get from that.

So give him a payout of the remainder of his contract instead of getting someone to pay part of his salary for a year and pay a loan fee.... sure
Forgot he even existed. Another shite academy product, like 90% of our academy products since the class of 92. Yet some fans still live in this alternate dimension where United is all about fantastic youth products that win us trophies. Bizarre.
What I remember about CBJ:
1)A very unusual running style
2) An absolutely fantastic left-footed cross down the flank.
3) An absolute lack of anything else that makes a good defender/footballer.

Another overhyped academy product who amounted to nothing.
CBJ is a strange one. He looked a decent prospect, has that amazing ability to cross and was trained up as a central defender so it appeared he had lots of the tools to give it a decent go. He played well when he broke through under LVG and then once LVG was sacked a series of disastrous loan moves have halted his progress. I always thought the swiftness with which Jose loaned him out was strange as Shaw was coming back from injury and CBJ appeared to be decent cover based on the previous season. Who knows what might have happened had LVG stayed on with this lad.
Is he on the piste?
Maybe a good player with low ceiling, that is why he doesn't have a future here.
Rather than fulfilling an average player's potential, Mourinho would rather not develop him.
