Who's baldy?Baldy is now saying we're looking at him.

The egg that is Duncan Castles. In his latest transfer podcast according to aggregators.Who's baldy?
For Everton? I’m surprised it’s been so quiet on links to him, would have expected links to multiple clubs tbh.He’d be my dream signing.
He says Pool, the Arse, and United are sniffing around. It came up with a conversation regarding United’s midfield.Who's baldy?

I think he could be right and with his contract running out in 2023, I can see a number of clubs monitoring his situation with a view to signing him in January or in the summer window 2022.He says Pool, the Arse, and United are sniffing around. It came up with a conversation regarding United’s midfield.

Yeah but knowing our luck someone else will make the move and leave us standingSurely a £40m bid in the last week would spark some movement, especially if the player would be keen to move?
The difference is Bossumo has premiership experience and is ready to sign for a top club. Camavinga is 18 years old, playing in a weaker league. He has indicated that his preference is either Madrid or PSG.Camavinga is a very similar type of player. Is younger, would be cheaper and even better
What he's specifically said is that, United have made enquiries regarding how much it would cost to sign the player from Brighton.Thanks, shame its castles.
There's no momentum for any deal right now when it comes to us. As thing stand, window seems to be petering away.I'm really not sure that United have even looked at Bissouma, and there doesn't seem to be any momentum around this deal.
Of course the questions would then have to be, why haven't United bothered to look, or why was Bissouma rejected?
United could have been really proactive, by offering Garner on a free loan and taking Bissouma, but even now, I'm certain there would be other players that could be offered up on a free loan.I think they will resist the offers to sell him this summer especially this late in the window.
Nice thought but we would never be interested in Garner, we bought Caicedo partly as succession planning for Bissouma leaving, we thought he was possibly going to Arsenal, but now we're in the final week of the window he wont be going anywhere.United could have been really proactive, by offering Garner on a free loan and taking Bissouma, but even now, I'm certain there would be other players that could be offered up on a free loan.
You'd have to get Brighton to ask Nottingham Forrest if they want Garner. Garner is already on loan this season.United could have been really proactive, by offering Garner on a free loan and taking Bissouma, but even now, I'm certain there would be other players that could be offered up on a free loan.
Wakey, wakey...!!You'd have to get Brighton to ask Nottingham Forrest if they want Garner. Garner is already on loan this season.
I doubt Garner is good enough to start for BrightonUnited could have been really proactive, by offering Garner on a free loan and taking Bissouma, but even now, I'm certain there would be other players that could be offered up on a free loan.
I think that's why he used the words could have and goes on to suggest other players to use as an alternative.You'd have to get Brighton to ask Nottingham Forrest if they want Garner. Garner is already on loan this season.
Wakey, wakey...!!
Read my comment again, and properly...
By including Garner it implies that he may have thought that Garner was still here, nothing to do with reading the comment 'properly'I think that's why he used the words could have and goes on to suggest other players to use as an alternative.
Well not really considering he said after "but even now, there could be other players we could offer up" which implies he definitely didn't think Garner was still hereBy including Garner it implies that he may have thought that Garner was still here, nothing to do with reading the comment 'properly'
No it doesn't, and I didn't...By including Garner it implies that he may have thought that Garner was still here, nothing to do with reading the comment 'properly'
I think the most important thing to look for is his ability on the ball. At Utd, your not going to be scrambling around midfield breaking up play as much, this is where Schneiderlin fell down, he looked good at Southampton breaking up play and moving the ball on. At Utd when he had the ball and had to use it, he was fecked. Fred is good at running around but is shit on the ball, so is McT.Is this guy really good enough for Man Utd? To come in and not only look a good player but actually to kick our midfield on a level or two?
I think the difficulty of doing that, the options we have and the level you have to be is massively underrated. The guy has played for Brighton, a relegation candidate. I'm aware they've played some decent football but what is deemed an eye catching performance for Brighton is quite significantly different from playing for us. We draw a game of football and the passing range, control, ability against the press is analysed to the Nth degree. Brighton can lose games and earn plaudits!
I disagree on Schneiderlin and the stile of play....he was never more than average at Southampton. No surprise to me at all that he hasnt gone on to do anything much since leaving us, to a lesser degree I see VDB similar, dont see him playing for elite clubs he has been linek dwith before comign here in the future. I agree on Bissouma, the last 15/18 months for me both him and Saint-Maxim have stood out as players that can go on to much bigger things, far more than the like of Traore and Neto for example at Wolves. Rice is the other one that should really be at a bigger club.I think the most important thing to look for is his ability on the ball.

With Bissouma, he's very powerful and good at the defending side.
From what I've seen he is good on the ball, his ball control is tidy, he has a good passing range, is decent at playing through the lines and making bursting runs through hhe middle. Hiss ability to get out under pressure and in tight spaces is also very good.
Whether he is good enough or not there really is only one way to find out.
Getting Saul gets us nowhere still. With Ronaldo coming in, Pogba has to go back into midfield, not left winger.every report coming out says this link to Pool is bollocks....they won't spend that kind of money on him when they have a pretty solid CM grouping already
we can forget about adding this guy especially if the ronaldo thing takes place. best we can hope for now is Saul on loan.
How so?Getting Saul gets us nowhere still. With Ronaldo coming in, Pogba has to go back into midfield, not left winger.
Rashford, Ronaldo, Sancho, Greenwood, Cavani, James and Martial will be competing for the front 3.
Hopefully Pogba raises his games and becomes more consistent in midfield, and we get someone like Bissouma, Neves or Tchouameni to sit back.
Saul is another no. 8, which we have plenty of.
The Ronaldo thing happened incredibly discretely though so you never know. We've really got our act together in this window.I'm really not sure that United have even looked at Bissouma, and there doesn't seem to be any momentum around this deal.
Of course the questions would then have to be, why haven't United bothered to look, or why was Bissouma rejected?
Weren' t Brighton one of the clubs after Dan James?Brighton will (rightly) play hard ball over Bissouma because he's absolutely their best player.
I think he'd be ideal for United. He's tough, fit, aggressive, skilful in tight spots, has a good passing range and a rocket shot on him. He's way better than Schneiderlin was. He never looks fazed.
Coming up 25 with three seasons prem experience. I think he'd improve us.
Their Captain is their best player, absolutely 100%. No idea where you get it's Bissouma from? Next you'll be saying it's Lamptey when he gets hyped again.Brighton will (rightly) play hard ball over Bissouma because he's absolutely their best player.

It was mentioned, but nothing seems to have come of it. Still time of course.Weren' t Brighton one of the clubs after Dan James?
