I'd say so, he's in the mould of an Adnan/Pogba type i.e he won't need to go out on loan or anything like that, he looks a good player just lacking the final product. I have a feeling that he'll go on to be an outstanding player for us.
That would be a huge boost, aseptically if Wilson and Lawrence also make the jump, very exciting.

I disagree. I don't think he's ready yet at all.

HELLO
The guy is in absolute incredible shape, think this could be a massive season coming up for him.
Not sure about incredible shape, he looks to have a good posture and is certainly smiling but Coke Zero?

Man City make a €38 million bid for Benatia according to Tancredi, still waiting to see what the United news is.

It won't help Welbeck unless he's played in his natural position and not shunted out of position on the wing.
Then we'd have to sell everyone who was better at that position that he was which would weaken the team significantly.

Any chance he can make the step up directly into the main squad like Adnan did?
I don't think so. He drifted out of many U21 games this year, whereas the likes of Januzaj and Pogba tended to boss them quite consistently. He needs at least another year, in my opinion.

Or just use him as a sub in his natural position? Or... if he gets into the goal scoring run that he hit in December, don't drop him? Madness I know!

Tancredi has as much reliability as IndyKaila in my opinion.

Wide-forward/defensive striker IS his natural position. It's what he's good at. His composure in front of goal is not good enough for him to be someone relied upon for goals. I don't understand how people can claim he's progressed then claim he's played out of position. Maybe he's progressed because he's found his niche on the field?

When he's played upfront he scores goals and assists. He's just very rarely ever used there. I get pissed off listening to gimps who criticise him, the same gimps that probably criticised Smalling for playing RB last season.

Anyway, don't listen to a thing Palmeri says, he's useless.

I literally don't know where to begin. Why would Barcelona prefer him to go to an immediate CL rival for a start? Christ
Perhaps because they have actually done the courtesy of speaking to Barcelona rather than just dealing with the player/agent?

tbf to him, he was the first to break the story that barca would be open to selling Fabregas.
He also reported Vidic to Inter first. But the problem is his tweets have become a caricature of everything that's wrong with getting transfer info from tweets.

Its says we haven't put in a bid to Barca yet. However this guy is unreliable anyway.
Although I have seen it reported elsewhere that United have offered Fab a better contract offer than Chelsea.

I'd have to question any tweet that said a CL team would prefer to sell to another team they will probably face in the CL over a team that are not in the CL! So calling bollocks like 99% of his work.
