@CharIieBennett Has it started?

[Ray C. @RayC1945]

@swinburne_mark Hall without a doubt.
I'm not on the Howe out wagon but to lose a potential world class talent you already have on a long term contract, to an opponent you are attempting to catch, would be catastrophic, bordering on criminal!
I like Eddie but he is probably easier to replace

[Ray C. @RayC1945]

@Magpie24_7 Yes.
He is going to be a club and England captain some day.
Has the potential to become another Duncan Edwards of Steven Gerard.

@FoxNews @foxandfriends The man is off his effing trolley!!!!!

[Ray C. @RayC1945]

@swinburne_mark Ginola v Ferencvaros

Controlled on his thigh, flicked over the head of the defender and thumped in a stunner from 25 yards.

[Ray C. @RayC1945]

@SimplyUtd £100m is a hands off, not for sale, we don't want to sell him pricing.

[Ray C. @RayC1945]

@S0uthernGe0rdie Can't see it!!
Not in a month of Sundays!!!
Wages, age, attitude...... Which profile does he fit???

[Ray C. @RayC1945]

@swinburne_mark Like you, Sir Les!
I am convinced we would have won the league if he had stayed and I still don't understand the rationale of letting him go.

[Ray C. @RayC1945]

@afc_ben10 "Some people are on the pitch, they think it's all over.............it is now!!!"

[Ray C. @RayC1945]

@swinburne_mark Jonathan Woodgate (immaculate)
David Batty { Get and Give)
Pedro (GOAT)
Alan Shearer ((30+ goals per season)

[Ray C. @RayC1945]

@toon_collector Certainly not to the teams you are trying to catch!!!

[Ray C. @RayC1945]

@swinburne_mark No good for me, I can't understand a word he says!!!!

[Ray C. @RayC1945]

@swinburne_mark He didn't want to play and Eddie knew it.
Eddie has always said he will only play those who are the future.
He gave Tripps his last hurrah at home and that was fully deserved but left him out for the last game.
Tripps would have given his all but Eddie had already moved on

[Ray C. @RayC1945]

@richardajkeys Because of the shirt he was wearing!!!

[Ray C. @RayC1945]

@sinceApril1970 Could be a good call, Norman.
Howe seems to have cut the chord and cut him loose already.
He puts a lot of store in unity and team bonding and we saw evidence on the pitch on Sunday that something is not right.

[Ray C. @RayC1945]

@sinceApril1970 @GianfrancoShoIa He's not the finished article yet and you can see there's more to come.
He is responding to the coaches who have more potential to worry on
Definitely keep him

[Ray C. @RayC1945]

@swinburne_mark I can't see him playing again.
Imagine the negative reception he will get that could impact the rest of the team especially in games where we need maximum effort and togetherness

[Ray C. @RayC1945]

@swinburne_mark Which one(s) of those would take us to the next level?
I don't think of them would.
Fishing in the wrong pond
Possibly better off looking abroad for players like Bruno, Tonali, Botman and Thiaw, Isak, Ekitike.

[Ray C. @RayC1945]

@LukeEdwardsTele No Europe could work in our favour this Summer as it will allow us a larger transfer budget under the new financial rules at a time when we probably need to focus on a project reset and team rebuild.

[Ray C. @RayC1945]

@doshmeisterr @CraigHope_DM He will get more when he shows he is worth more.
Eddie says he picks his team on the basis of what his players show on the pitch and in training ground preparations.
We've seen Osula earn his place by producing game changing cameos.
