We should be all over this, he's a really exciting player and for 18M would be a real bargain.

Based on that 1 clip, he reminds me of Chris smallingReputed United CB target Gabriel Magalhães (~ £30m), age 22, 190cm tall, currently at Lille, no serious injury issues, will decide between several offers this week.

You mean the Brazilian SmallingBased on that 1 clip, he reminds me of Chris smalling
Bremen did not get relegated and Sahin was too bad even for them. You want none of that near United.Other CDMs are available from just relegated sides:
Although 2 are passing their prime and the 3rd is Italian and probably going to stay in Italy. Nuri Sahin on a free?

Ouch, signed from VillaOn a lesser note: Wolves have signed 23-year-old keeper Matija Sarkic from Aston Villa.

He's been at Villa for 5 years, too. I guess the fact that he's constantly been on loan means that he doesn't really feel attached to them.Ouch, signed from Villa
Edit: whoops, didn't realise you'd already mentioned Villa Controversial one
Not without a transfer fee obviously. I never suggested that. In a lot of these situations there's a gentleman's agreement that they can go for a decent fee if they for example stay for 1 more season and don't kick up a fuss. 40 million is still a decent amount for a player with his pedigree. For example, Ziyech cost Chelsea an initial fee of 33 million pounds and Ajax had a gentleman's agreement with him that they wouldn't ask for insane amounts so he could pursue his dreams while they still made a profit on him.It's business. They have to get as much money as possible so they can reinvest to try to stay in PL. Just because of a player contribute however significantly, doesn't mean the club would just let go easy. By your logic, Ronaldo would have been allowed to go without any transfer fee involved by Real Madrid?
I meant Ronaldo did for Madrid so much for what they paid us to get him. With all the gentleman's agreement and such, in Ronaldo case, you know what I meant.Not without a transfer fee obviously.

So it appears that David name-dropped Lille once he knew about their interest. He does want to leave for sure, and I only hope as a Canadian United fan that he leaves for any team other than Leeds.The contacts [with Lille] came to a standstill this week, but we've received interest from other clubs, with much better proposals even, including Leeds. However, I explained again to Jonathan that we want him to play for us this season, although there are still some challenges.
I thought so too, looks like a non league teams shirt.Awful kit.
If that's the sort of price Villa are expecting I'd swap my target to VdB.I wouldn't go anywhere near him at that price.
How are they seemingly having such a free run at him? Primed for us or Chelsea to swoop in!Tweet

Leicester went from 41pts to 81pts!Liverpool went from a circa 70 point season to 97 points within a year. It's a monumental task but it is possible.

I'd be surprised if Grealish didn't have an agreement with Villa at a reasonable price. He's given a season in the championship and now in the Prem out of loyalty.If Grealish leaves it’ll be for comfortably less than 80mil.
Sane? Oh, you mean Sadio Mane! Tbf - our attacking players are a very good age to keep improving. Maguire and AWB should be better for having a year behind them at the club. They won't be moving house or getting used to a new manager, new teammates, and new routine.It's not just Allison and Van Dijk. The players that were there improved massively. The likes of Robertson, TAA, Wijnaldum, Sane etc found new gears. People need to forget this idea that it's simply significant that will get us to be where we want to be. The likes of Martial, Rashford, Pogba Maguire etc have to step up.

Yeah given that we really need a backup for Matic. The only reason I see is that Pogba might be staying and then we have too many midfielders - McFred, Matic and PoggersHow are they seemingly having such a free run at him? Primed for us or Chelsea to swoop in!
We certainly have depth in numbers, but only Matic can play CDM and he's no spring chicken.Yeah given that we really need a backup for Matic. The only reason I see is that Pogba might be staying and then we have too many midfielders - McFred, Matic and Poggers
I don't get the need for a striker. If Sancho signs we have Martial backed up by Ighalo (until Jan) and Greenwood and Rashford can play there.He doesn't say. He just says that a right winger, centre back, creative midfielder and a striker is what is needed.
Also, £20m is not that much % wise on an £80m transfer. If we were trying to sign someone for £8m and another team said £10m then it would seem obvious to settle at £9m. It just seems worse cos the numbers are bigger.It’s been like that for years. Very annoying.
I also find it hard to believe. And if Arsenal can't get him despite of such big advantage & decent fees, what a bottle.How are they seemingly having such a free run at him? Primed for us or Chelsea to swoop in!
I wouldnt touch Sahin nor Capoue with a stick, we should stay clear of those no where near the quality. Tonali is really promising, but he wont leave Italy.Other CDMs are available from just relegated sides:

They do have the funds but lets not forget who owns the club.Arsenal don't have the funds.
