It was an open secret that Will Keane was going to Wigan on loan, once his foot injury cleared up. I've got to say I'm a bit surprised it's only until 1st January, I presumed it would be for the rest of the season. I still think that this is what will happen, it's a good move for him, Wigan and for United, especially as he'll presumably be able to link up with fellow United youngster Nick Powell'
It wasn't such a sure thing that Michael Keane would leave as well. I read on Twitter that he would have gone to Derby sooner, but things were delayed when Nigel Clough was sacked. That's a pity because he had an excellent season on loan at Leicester last season and he's been treading water at best, going backwards possibly plying his stuff for the under 21's.
There a couple of others who could really do with testing themselves out on loan, even if it means the under 21's struggle for numbers. We won't really know where Larnell Cole or Tom Thorpe are in their development until they get proper first team football. Still the two Keane's are the biggest talent still in the under 21's now that Januzaj has made the move up to the first team squad, so they really had to go out on loan.
Music
Acoustic Ladyland - Last chance disco: These were a group i really loved, apparently they are still doing things together, it won't be under the Acoustic Ladyland moniker. Mind you Polar Bear are pretty special as well. The driving rock and jazz worked brilliantly in their hands.
Deap Valley - Sistrionix: Another guitar and drums duo, but it works reasonably well, there's enough difference between their sound and that of the White Stripes and the Black Keys. I wouldn't go as far as to say they are anywhere near as good as mentioned bands, but it's a pretty good album.
Forest Swords - Engravings: The scouse experimental electronica man's follow up to the excellent Dagger paths, and the standard hasn't dropped, once again it's excellent.
Julia Holter - Loud city song: Experimental almost avant garde artists don't usually tend to be that prolific, but not Holter. This third long player in three years is probably her most mainstream, but there's no lowering of standards. It could be her best yet.
Money - The shadow of heaven: Another Manchester act going the high pitched vocalist left field indie pop route. It's not really my groove to be honest, I can listen to it, and appreciate it, but I'll never really get off on it. There are a couple of top tunes on it, I'll give it that and it did grow on me the more i listened to it.
No Ceremony - No Ceremony III: This manchester electronic act really hit the button, their debut album is a very stong first effort. I wouldn't class this as that experimental, but it still shifts through the genres.
White Hills - So you are.. So you'll be: More Psych/space/kraut rock, this time from the States, I love this stuff, even if it doesn't really break any new ground. There a couple of real storming Hawkwind type lift off moments, that really rock.
