Understandable from a fan’s point of view. It’s also the honest reason the question is even asked. I’m hoping he plays at Wolves on Saturday.

There’s no outright forwards on that list of regular starters though. Gross also plays in multiple positions unlike Ferguson so not a good comparison. Perhaps as the squad develops your list will get shorter rather than longer anyway.

I think the answer is we have a squad not a regular first 11. The days of Nelson and Bremner up front every week are long gone. I would have thought people would be used to it by now.

Not how I saw it. He seemed to walk away preparing for his fate.

My post was about Caicedo. Ferguson naively ‘liked’ Caicedo’s post. Not a big deal for the reasons pointed out by others above, but still a bit dim.

Yes, but there is a way to achieve one’s ambitions whilst showing respect for those currently supporting your career. As a side issue do people really ‘like’ posts without thinking ? That strikes me as a bit thick.

Is this why Ferguson liked Caicedo’s Instagram ? Is there any point to all this when dealing with players that don’t respect contracts ? Getting pissed off with these parasites now and also pissed off with the hero worship some have for footballers who quite frankly do not deserve it.

Right on both counts. We can win though by ignoring the ‘football world’ and continuing to do what they are supposed to be doing which is to get them young and cheap and give them the means to achieve success. Pundits (mouthpieces) are inadvertently confirming the failure of the big clubs to do...
