jb 0 Posted April 25, 2014 Waiting for a flight to Amsterdam and lots of tracksuitedmen have just shown up... Had a brief chat with Neil Adams who seems positive (as you''d expect!)... Only other news to report is that Elliot Bennett is travelling with the squad. I''ll update further if I see quagliarella:) OTBC! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jb 0 Posted April 25, 2014 All the usual suspects travelling (including elmander & Gutierrez)... Didn''t spot hooper but sure I just missed him. No becchio or pilkington as far as i could see. Also noticed a young black player that I didn''t recognise. Certainly brightened up an otherwise boring wait! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jb 0 Posted April 25, 2014 A bit of google image searching later... The young black guy looked very much like Loza... But I thought he was on loan at Southend? Was hanging out with josh murphy, so would make sense. Does anyone know if he''s been recalled from his loan? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lynn Canary 0 Posted April 25, 2014 I believe Loza joined Southend on 28 day emergency loan deal. I think his loan would have finished now. On the Norwich City youtube channel, he was training with the first team in the latest training video. Could be a surprise package that Man U dont know anything about. Could be very handy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jb 0 Posted April 25, 2014 Thanks LC, it''s definitely him. Wonder if he''ll make the bench? Squad are all in the departures bit now... Hooper definitely not amongst them. Could be travelling separately I suppose, but if not Loza''s inclusion would make even more sense. Crikey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lynn Canary 0 Posted April 25, 2014 Hopefully Hooper will join up with the rest of the squad. If he doesnt though, would Adams put Loza on the bench or go for a more experienced striker like Elmander or Becchio ? Id like to see Loza get a chance. Im sure he would be buzzing for it if he was named on bench Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jb 0 Posted April 25, 2014 I imagine that''s the case, LC... Just realised there''s no r.bennett, bassong or yobo here either, so maybe it''s not compulsory to travel with the rest of the squad... I''m not really sure how it works, just sharing what I''m seeing :) if Loza does get a chance, I''m sure he won''t let us down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ray 111 Posted April 25, 2014 Can''t be certain about every one but think you will find Loza has travelled and Becchio, Hoolahan and Bassong have not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jb 0 Posted April 25, 2014 Didn''t see wes... Re Loza, just meant that he would know murphy better than the other squad members as they''d played together in the u21s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Howson is now! 0 Posted April 25, 2014 Don''t worry JB, Private Frazer was clearly trying to imply a little casual racism on your behalf. Makes perfect sense that two youngsters who have probably trained together for years, won a youth FA Cup together, and are enjoying being involved with the first team together, would quite possibly hang out together.

Jacks Back 0 Posted April 25, 2014 Everyone knows it must be racism if two players who have played together since their teens were hanging out in the first team squad, who they probably don''t know that well. Calm down political correctness police. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ray 111 Posted April 25, 2014 Howson is now!Just one minor point, Loza didn''t play in the FA Youth Cup Final, he was too old, but apart from that spot on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

splutcho 196 Posted April 25, 2014 That''d be a grand way to lose the game. Did we learn nothing from last week? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 4,149 Posted April 25, 2014 Seems that some haven''t splutcho. It will be extremely tough: we need to be well organised, play to a plan and have our wits about us from the off, not from 15 minutes in - but I''m sure NA will have learned from last week. Man U might not be as good as in previous years but still got to the CL quarter finals, and are in a not dissimilar situation to ourselves in managerial terms, which is quite likely to give them a boost. Let''s hope it doesn''t, though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
