A host of clubs are looking to make a move for Manchester United centre-back Will Fish this summer.

Former United coaches Kieran McKenna and Michael Carrick are both keen to land him.

If nothing else, it’s comforting to know we’re looking for defensive reinforcements

70/30 for Fish……. 70% has an decent game, 30% has a shocker with Tommy Smith headless chicken moments.

I rate Porteous way higher, and he’s fairly average at Watford.

does that mean he's played 70% of his games in the rain, and 30% when it's not raining?

There is some flipping & flopping around on both 70 & 30 days I would say. :D 👍

The argument about Wolfie though is he’s apparently better with different people around him. Maybe that’s the same with Fish. A Man Utd defender as opposed to Stevenson or Hanlon. It will make a difference.
Damien Delaney? Shyte at Ipswich imo…… decent at Stoke when they were EPL.
If Kieron rates Will Fish, then i’ll go along with that.

Good that we are after these young players but if we are promoted this year we will need experienced players, Humphreys Baggott and Ali Al - Hamadi need to play games and are unlikely to get game time in the premiership so would need to go out on loan but if we stay in the Championship they need to play next season IMO.

Based on Marko's comments, we better be careful we don't get stiched up like a kipper.

Talking of potential Man Utd players, where is that waste of space Brandon Williams?

Valuable space in the team wasted on that sick note.

It's a bit fishy isn't it. I think he's in trouble with a loan shark myself.
