Re: Who's done enough to get a move?
I’m with CT here. The number of players who have either contributed very little or haven’t been given a chance is staggering. I’d also completely forgotten about Delcroix and several others. In terms of getting good fees for these ‘saleable assets’. Let’s not forget the big money is in the PL not th...

Brownhill not at fault.
Trafford played a suicide pass to him and there’s no way he could have expected that.
Trafford is not good enough and has cost us this game.

If controlling a pass, moving forward and finding a decent shot or lay off to a team mate are deemed an acceptable standard. Championship or otherwise. Then he was way off it. As for beating a man, forget it. Best not seen and forgotten. A complete waste of money and time.

Sack Kompany and find someone new. A complete player churn with big financial loses. Take our chances on promotion.
