Hopefully we can get some better news about our injury situation before the Arsenal match, as however unfortunate it was, Sanchez possibly being out for them is good news for us (hopefully), as he sure is one heck of a talented player.

What point am I trying to make? You really need it spelling out?

Injuries. Are. Bad.

Thanks for these posts, that clears things up ever so slightly.

But if they play for another team and are a good player then it's good.

No it is not, it is very unfortunate for the player involved.

Koeman's publically expressed his wish to take Depay to Everton.

Can't imagine that he'd have done that without being given the nod. Hopefully, it'll just be a loan.

He said he also would be interested in taking Rooney, and he wouldn't be averse to letting Lukaku leave, so possibly we could do some business there.

Agreed i'd be disappointed if we did sell him, Depay has the potential to be really good player; he needs more minutes and opportunities to develop his confidence.

If I were Koeman I'd be looking at Schniederlin. He was excellent at Southampton and looks to be surplus to requirements at United.

Good shout. Barry can't have too long left, and Schneiderlin would be a decent replacement.

He seems to have lost his way a bit, at United.

It would be a great shame if he were to leave, as he is certainly someone that we need in our squad, even if he hasn't played relatively all that many times for us.

We shouldn't be looking to improve our rivals squads especially not those teams who are in and us.

Why do we 'need' him? He rarely plays, and when he has, he's been pretty poor. I fully expect a purchase or two, in that department.

As for your second point, the poster suggested that Everton should be looking at Schneiderlin, and I agreed. At no point did either of us mention that we should sell him to them.

It is always better to have a good squad of players to select from, and personally I do think he is a player that we should be looking to keep hold of, as he can offer us something in that area of the pitch.

Everton should be looking at him, Memphis and Rooney, but equally so, that shouldn't mean we should be interested in selling them at this stage.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Koeman must be eyeing him up and Schneiderlin will fancy it. Don't think your boys will miss him given he's done nothing in a season and a half. Must say I'm syrprised, thought he was exactly what you needed but consecutive managers have decided otherwise.

I wouldn't mind Schneiderlin trying to shed his cloak of invisibility with Everton. Just as much as I wouldn't mind Barkley trying to re-discover his direction and form, in an effort to replace Rooney at United.

I would prefer to see Miki played more often in a forward thinking role, then for us to sign Barkley.

You can see why he is interested in a number if our players that haven't for one reason or another managed to get much game time, as they are still very good players.

A triple swoop of him, Memphis and Rooney, might be stretching things a bit to far, but two or even just Obe wouldn't be that hugely shocking to be honest.

Although I would of course prefer if we kept Memphis and Schneiderlin, as I do believe that they can still offer us something, I am not totally writing them off just yet.

I'd like to see Martial start against Arsenal especially considering Zlatan is suspended.

A front two of him and Rashford would certainly be a pacey combination, and could cause their defence a fair bit of problems, so I am in agreement with you on this point.

It's more than just their (supposed) quality, they have links to Everton/Koeman for one reason or another.

No idea who Obe is but I'd be surprised if Everton signed all three of the others you mentioned.

I can't see them going for Rooney. Depay looks the most likely.

Not convinced by Barkley, but I'd take Lukaku, for sure. He'd be massively expensive, mind.

I have to ask the question, what has he done recently to justify such a thing? I like him as a player, he's got lots of potential, but so far this season he's done little to justify his position in the team, and it could even be suggested in the squad.

The only thing in his favour is that with Rooney potentially a doubt having pulled out of the England team, we may well be down on numbers up front and he may be our only option. Memphis scored a couple over the weekend, but I doubt that's enough to give him the chance.
