Manchester United completed the signing (as reported in stuck thread earlier) of Chris Smalling from Fulham. He'll actually join ready for next season.
Moving out of Old Trafford, we say farewell to Danny Simpson, a player who has spent the last couple of seasons on loan anyway, at Blackburn and Newcastle. He opted to join the Magpies. We wish him well.
United continued the loan policy that has served them quite well. Following one Devid Beckham's footsteps to Preston is Danny Wellbeck, who will remain there until the season is over.
Also on the move is Zoran Tosic. He made his debut against Spurs last season in the FA Cup (I was there), but made very little impact, tbh. He has shown glimpses of talent for the reserves (we try to show the matches on here, too), but has gone to Cologne until the end of the season.
The reserve players who were on 6-month loan deals have returned to the club.
So, all the hype and speculation over this big name and that star player being linked with United can be put to bed. Well, for now. Another window opens in the summer and no doubt, we'll be linked with everyone and anyone.
So, the list looks like this:
Danny Simpson £ 500,000 to Newcastle United
Zoran Tosic On Loan @ Cologne
Danny Welbeck On Loan @Preston North End
Tom Cleverley On Loan @ Watford
Daniel Drinkwater On Loan @ Huddersfield Town
Sam Hewson On Loan @ Bury
Matt James Emergency Loan @Preston North End
Mame Diouf Loan : Expired Molde
Tom Heaton Loan : Expired Rochdale
Febian BrandyLoan : Expired Gillingham
Ben Amos Loan : Expired Peterborough United
David Gray Loan : Expired Plymouth Argyle
Craig Cathcart Loan : Expired Watford
James Chester Loan : Recalled Plymouth Argyle
