Well, obviously.

I measure all United youngsters on the Malpas scale, which makes things doubly difficult for Robson.

We got rid of bloody 10! Only brought in 5 so far so we don't really need to get rid anymore (obvs other than Donaldson)

14 have left. Ray's made quite clear that there's another 5 (or so) to come in and has given no suggestion whatsoever that that depends on guys leaving. Your chap above has just misread things. 

Donaldson will go because he's pish but that's about it.

And it was instantly obvious to me (and I presume everyone else) that he had great potential. BTW he was playing pretty regular at 19.

No. There were plenty of fuds heavily critical of Armstrong well into his second or third season in the first team.

Well, that's on them!

On the player front, I'm a huge advocate of quality over quantity. Occasionally you'll have to rely on younger players to fill in, but better that than having a huge squad of shite like that which Jackie/Mixu accumulated.

3/4 quality signings now would do the job.

Need to get backup keeper, 2 midfielders and 2 strikers in on budget

Ray would like to offer Quinn a deal, but that depends on getting Donaldson off the wage bill

Guilty as charged! Knew that we had to move Donaldson on to sign Quinn and read more into it......

Agree with this, I would bring in a left back as well but can't see it happening

How should they be measured if not against the previous players that came through the youth system and went on to bigger and better things?

Anyone know what trialists played today?

A striker (didn't look up to much).

That goalie who's on trial, no chance with the goal (he played the 2nd half).

Paul Quinn (loud and no messing, could be a good signing).

Have you not signed trialist Paul Dixon yet or did he not look any good?
