Very happy with this signing. And good to see we’re offering 2 year contracts again.

Reading between the lines it looks like he might not have come had we only offered a one-year deal.

Still need another 47 signings this week mind, otherwise there are going to be even more soaking wet mattresses than there are already.

Excellent signing not a gamble as he can definitely do it at this level and should only get better

Obviously one that’s been rumoured for a while but very pleased to get it sorted. Lots of good reviews and I’m very happy to see that he’s turned down Championship clubs to play regular football at our level, exactly the type of player we need at the club.

It might be worth taking a look at some of the other players released by Man U.

Good signing,he can turn on a sixpence.
I wonder who elsie we are after.

Is that Elsie Tanner

Settled down nicely and enjoying his football now, can see teams taking an interest if he carries on...

At least he’s contracted next season, so if teams do sniff we can command a decent fee.

Then Beech will find another kid out of an academy to replace him.

Think he proved a point tonight?!

Superb...

Great game from him, defending and going forward. He's fast too.

Out for “a period of time” according to Beech on BBCRC.

Sounds similar to Walker?

I was told on Sunday afternoon that the physio thinks it could be really bad, as bad as Walker’s, but waiting to get it scanned first.

I wonder if he’s had the scan and it’s bad news?

I know walker had a history of injuring that area which extended his absence , so although it's bad hopefully it's not as bad , broken collarbone is 6-8 weeks, final weeks can start working on fitness, 2 weeks of on the ball training, possibly 8-10 weeks out

Commentary said if it fixes itself it’ll be about 6wks out. If it requires surgery then a lot longer. Massive shame for the lad and a blow for the team but nothing we can’t overcome with a strong squad.

At least it’s January soon. With Obiero, Dewhurst and Malley possibly going back, we could possibly bring RB cover in on loan.

The silver lining (if there is one) is he will not be sold in January.

No question about his potential. Played right back, right wing back. right mid and played on the left too. Good two feet and can pass and cross a ball. What is his best position. Curious what his best position is. Some people say Riley does not play alongside Guy in the defensive midfield role. Could Tanner play defensive midfield.

I would like us to play 3 at the back and push Tanner up the field. Still think he can rwb if armer plays the other side.

He’d be a decent wing back in a good side. He’ll have learnt a lot this season.

I think Armer will probably have a better career though. Looks a classy player for his age.

I can’t see where Anderton will fit in now. Looks the part at times but not up to it.

agreed Nobby

He’ll have learnt a lot this season.

He looked excellent at wingback at Cheltenham, but one game isn’t enough to tell the full story. Always looks decent going forward but can leave us exposed when playing in a back 4.

He was flying before being injured, and struggled to regain his consistency in the latter part of the season. As mentioned by others, he’ll have learned a lot this year and will only improve going forward. He’s been a quality bit of business IMO.

I’d be keen to see a 3-5-2 / 5-3-2 whatever you want to call it next season.

It suits Tanner and Armer perfectly and if Anderton is going to stay I think left side of a back 3 would be the only position I’d consider him in. I definitely wouldn’t trust him as 1 of 2 centre halves.

In the middle {of a christmas pud}.

I think we have 2 really good full/wing backs who with the right centre backs playing alongside them will only improve and become very good players.

I think Tanner needs to work more on his 1-1 defending as he gets his distances wrong at times and gets beaten from time to time but going forward he is excellent. I think a lot of that will be due to the fact he played midfield/wing at Utd academy and only moved to full back as a scholar so will have probably missed out on his early schooling.

Armer meanwhile looks the opposite for me and when he's on his game playing on the front foot (2nd half on Saturday as an example) you don't get past him easy however I would like to see him attack more and drive into the opponents box.

Will be interesting to see where these 2 eventually end up as I see Armer as a ball playing CB in a few years time and Tanner as an attacking midfielder and should both get to to a good level, hopefully with us.
