I hope we are moving away from the double pivot because neither VdB or Thiago(rumors) are pure DMs.

On the side note I am having problems while trying to type through android. The keyboard keeps disappearing if i try to edit text.

Having read the classic threads one question I want answered is does Donny attack the space? How does he compare to Messi, Iniesta, Cleese etc?

This looks all but done, very good signing imo, cover for Bruno and Pogba.

Fair enough. He seemed to play the Matic role but also moved forward a bit more. It's not like we were overrun constantly. Maybe Pogba was a bit deeper than usual to help that but I can't really say.
We weren't overrun I agree but when Pogba is in that double pivot I feel we need someone with real positional sense sitting behind him.

To anyone not aware of its origins (myself included) and for any causal observer it doesn’t come across that way?

So to be clear this is ok to post at another member without consequence? If so it may well be my new favourite thing!
I may have reported it as well... awkward, but then again I haven't been here long either so just thought it was a bit of a hectic response!

Mike is thanking United, VdB and Ajax for the extra follows on Twitter and says he now has more followers than the maximum capacity of the Ajax stadium (Cruijff arena)

Keep a clean shit tomorrow, United is my final bus
Hope he's a lot better than what I saw in those videos. Definitely didn't show any flair in those clips. United as a club should be competing with the very best in Europe.

PS: I'm not judging him on a few minutes of videos. I can't say I ever remember seeing him play.
I didn't want to come in here and start spreading negativity after we finally look like adding a new player, but I'm with you.

He was losing the ball for fun, trying daft things with poor technique. Overall just looks a bit average on the ball. I can see why people talk about the runs he makes when talking about what he's good at. I was hoping for an expansive passing game with a good brain on the ball, somebody to control midfield and pick out the forward players.

Like you said, I hope our scouts have got this one right.
