Whiteman for me was an un-necessary panic signing. How many tines did he end up on the bench after signing, another one for the future? If that's the case why did the Blades let him go.
I was not suggesting that Whiteman was a bad buy, I think he is a good player,and will get better. Just pointing out that Fergie and the club were outmaneuvered, and that in Mandevilles case, we have had the same opportunity to get something for him in January if he has a good start to this season, which is not beyond the bounds of possibility. On past record I will not hold my breath, and that we have been proactive in our thinking, and could not wait to get the lad out of the door as quick as possible.
No, I am an old cussed B*****D. Will you bet me £50 to be given to the youth team that he scores more goals than Alfie May, Kiwomya, and Beestin this coming season? Thats three chances to my one RA.
Heart like a pea. If we sign a couple of decent forwards and the midfielders people want us to sign I will be very surprised if those three get a lot of game time, so I will give you the ChekaTrade Trophy as well if you want, oh I forgot you they didn't count last season because Mandeville scored a couple.
RA, in no way was I trying to belittle you personally sorry mate.

I am with Selby on this I am convinced Mandy is good enough but we seem to be in the minority. I have a holiday booked in September in Morecombe and I will make every effort to watch him and form my own opinion as to his potential. I enjoyed his good run of form with us and I find it hard to accept the lad has been written off by my club.
