Source? I saw Romano day we agreed a loan deal with UTD but so have Palace and the VDB needs to choose.

{Ed025's Note - he has not impressed me what i have seen of him ONE but maybe thats just me, any addition at this stage is a plus though mate..

Very similar player to Lamps used to be with late runs from midfield (obviously not as good) . I can see that working.

Not sure he's been given a chance to impress at Utd. Think he'll do well for us if he does choose us, far better option than most of our midfield.

{Ed025's Note - your right dan..

He hasn't impressed anyone but we need another body in midfield and are not in a position to be too choosey. The problem I see is that it may limit Onayango's playtime to little or none. However that depends if the manager decides to keep Gomes ahead of Onayango in the pecking order. For me Onayango deserves his chance now, he looked better in there than both Doucure and Gomes last time around. Onayango didn't stand out greatly but that's okay, that was a good thing as our midfielders have been standing out for all the wrong reasons. Him and Allan would make a good partnership whilst Doucure is out. Allan looked class when coming on against Villa.

Looks like Woody out of Cheers. Let’s hope he’s got more brains.

I watch man utd on sky before olly got sacked. He bit the bullet and brought van der beek on while chasing the game. He turned the game around. Running at defence from midfield and a clever passer of the ball. He got man utd in the front foot to salvage the game. But he's going to be rusty with hardly playing. Just a shame rafa used one of our 2 loan signings on a player who can't even get a game for villa. If available I think Dele Alli could turn out a goid player for us too. Only 25 and can score goals from midfield, which we have been lacking since Cahill left in all honesty.

It says in the Echo, that most trustworthy of papers, that he has chosen Everton over Crystal Palace

Apparently United said he could choose between us and Palace even though Palace were not paying his full wages but we agreed to pay all his wages

Can somebody explain to me why Palace can negotiate better than us and get a better deal agreed?

{Ed025's Note - because they know we are desperate mate..

So we've gone out and got the player Lampard wanted and fans moaning we can't do a good deal - i give in.

I'm sure by offering to pay his full wages gave us a better bargaining position with Utd than Palace. Also if Palace had agreed the deal and then we came along with offer of full wages Utd would have said to Palace hang on a mo.

Not sure it would be worth the hassle for Utd, setting the loan deal up with us for same wages if it had already progressed with Palace.

Your right and people would have moaned saying why couldn't we have just offered to pay his full wages to get the edge on Palace what a joke etc. Can't be farting around at this point in the window, just get it done. Relegation would cost us even more so we need to do everything we can and take the threat serious.
