Regarding the Under-21's game Knill was reportedly at the other night. Under-21's teams now, are what used to be the referred to as reserves. The United players he was watching are those playing just below the first team. If they are going out on loan, it won't be to League 2. Unless they're able to cut it at Championship level now, they wouldn't be in United's 'reserves'. If we were to be looking at loans from United or Liverpool, it'd be more likely from their youth set-ups.

What was wrong with Jo Kuffour? He was great and I'd still have him back now.

I think Phil is on about the delay in signing contracts, which I seem to recall costing us Jo, rather than his lack of quality as a player

Indeed, as I remember it he agreed to sign a new contract after his holiday but somewhere in between the airport and TQ1 he got nabbed by Leroy and ended up signing for Brentford.
