Poole can't make the bench - his international clearance has still not come through so he is still not 'officially' a United player. He can train and play in friendlies, but nothing competitive.
Oh really? I thought it got sorted out a few weeks back. That really sucks for the kid

Even if it had gone through he cant be registered for the Champions League squad because he's not eligible for the B list
 
I was talking about the McClair issue in the other thread. It's a fecking joke. Have the people in charge of the club forgotten we are running an academy. WTF is going on?
 
As a follow up from the French link a week or so ago:

 
If we sign him, it's surely for the first team. I haven't seen him play, what kind of player is he?
 
The original article a week ago said that we wanted to sign him in Jan and then loan him back to Fulham for the remainder of the season
 
Just a note but today is Tahith Chong's 16th birthday which mean he's eligible to sign a new 3-year contract with Feyenoord (very likely) or sign for an English club...

I read somewhere he is very very likely to remain at feyenoord. Dont think he comes here.
 
Ash Fletcher on loan to Barnsley sounds like it's going to happen at some point today.
 
Seems we have officially signed U15s Northern Irish striker Ethan Galbraith.He played in the U15's 1-1 draw vs. Liverpool yesterday.
 
Crazy isn't it.The experts will have more chances to claim their expert statement about how youth football performance means nothing.

That's true, and I can understand why Grimshaw is in more demand. His versatility makes him a very valuable asset to have in the lower league. While Pearson plays in the not so glamorous DM role, that not many teams value.
 
Glad to see us get more youngsters out on loan and hopefully they get 1st team experience
 
We agreed a 50k fee for U16s Italian defender Luca Ercolani from Forli.Been trialed with us for 2 years and technically has been our player for a while.The first of hopefully many recruitment for that age group to boost up next season's U18s squad.
