    look excellent

    Have that air of confidence we had pre January last year

    It was quite painful to say that

    Good chance of going up.

    No way - they will have a fire sale in January like Patrick did.
    Or will they ???

    Their biggest task is going to be keeping that team together come January. Pains me to see them doing so well but you have to say fair play so far, they look superb.

    They have players that are much more mature/older than our squad, so perhaps wouldn’t get much money for them. Brooks looks a great prospect can’t see him being there after January even if he has just signed a new contract.

    Not wrong, Sharp and Clarke aren’t mature then. I’m not comparing us and them on ability just on age and experience.

    I agree wouldn't get much for alot of their players as they are quite mature. Brooks is a different matter though they don't need to sell he is on a 4 year deal they will get some big big money for him if they cash in.

    They have a history of selling though, Kyle Walker, Kyle Naughton, Che Adams, Lawton, Maguire, off the top off my head.

    Yep though they now look far better than we did when we came up.

    Goes to show that if you can knit and keep it together, the sky's the limit.

    But they have got good money for those players and no doubt they will if they sell Brooks.

    Yes, but that’s not my point, I was pointing out that even if they wanted a ‘fire sale’ in January some of their mature players wouldn’t attract bids high enough for them to consider selling and perhaps they’d be limited in numbers in their prize assets such as Brooks.

    They’ll lose nobody in January, that’s the difference between them and us. They’ve got the 7th highest average attendance, one of the biggest stadiums in the division and a Middle East prince ready to chip in.

    Roll on Chien Lee.

    They’ve not been together longer in this division longer than our team last season.

    They may well keep what they have, but they’ve always had those assets and still sold in the past.

    I agree with you can't see the mature players attracting high bids and the only way brook will be sold is if some massive bid comes in. Wilder is a united fans so I doubt he will be leaving anytime soon. Hate to say it but they will be up there end of season.
