The Man U management probably felt he would get into less trouble with the bright lights of Crawley. There's not much harm sitting in the square and watching the fountain lights change colour.
Re Mellor. Not sure why Man Utd would send a young Mancurian down here for a loan (Matty Willock was a southern lad and moving back towards his family) and I'm sure Scunthorpe, Oldham and a few other clubs would be closer to home and need a forward.
On the other hand Jim, it is not a bad reflection on our club that the likes of Man Utd & Southampton - who have one of the best records of developing & selling young players - are prepared to send their prospects to us.
We can be fairly sure that - before they make that decision - they ask around & check us out.

So where's this kid we are meant to be signing from Man Utd? The other day it sounded like it was a done deal. Wonder why the delay in announcing we've signed him. Maybe he will be staying at OT as Utd don't have Greenwood available at present, Martial has gone and Lingard could be moving.
Not going to happen by the sound of it. All explained at the Swindon preview press conference. Utd evidently stuffed up with the paperwork and JY did not sound impressed. I wouldn’t be holding my breath for anyone else to come in either by the sound of it.
I found it by chance on the Observer FB site while poking around on Facebook, Jim. Don’t know if it is still there but I assume it will be loaded up onto the club’s main website at some point.
