Don't really see many scenarios where we hit him, would only be in the event that we sign no other midfielder and Fred leaves. As is though, we have Fred and Eriksen as 2 who can play there next season like this season even if we sign nobody else. Presumably we'll get a better backup for Casemiro but Sabitzer isn't that anyway. Just a straight replacement for Eriksen while Eriksen is out basically.
Yeah, that's all fair... It's basically just like, if he comes here and looks like an absolute world beater basically. He probably won't but you never know.

Take a look on RAWK. Depression there is amazing. They even say that we bought a good player. They didn't said that even for Casemiro and Varane. :lol:
Must sting a bit that they're aching for midfielders all season, the bloke looks up and down like a Klopp type of player, and we come along, skint, finding out we need a midfielder yesterday, and sort it out in five minutes.

It's strange looking like the well-run club compared to them for the first time in a while :lol:

What’s your thoughts on Sabitzer JB?
Didn't watch him enough, but according to some other people that I trust we got ourselves Ander Herrera kind of player. Can run all day, versatile, solid passer and finisher. We will probably lose a bit of Eriksen calmness, passing ability and vision from deeper areas, but we also might end up even more defensively solid and annoying to play against.

Should be a good signing, especially in the context of losing Eriksen with so little on the clock.

pundits have said :
Eth won't succeed because his suit is too big?
Martinez is too small
Casemiro here for a payday/steady eddie

They started on Antony too, waiting to see what's next for this dude

‘Austrians have never succeeded at United, therefore this is a bad signing’

Are we sure the Glazers are still in charge? We somehow seem to be been run pretty intelligently all of a sudden.

Do other clubs do this plane tracking stuff as much as we do :lol: :lol:
Yes. It is not different when it is a Bayern transfer. (even outgoing transfers got tracked - that is why you have the films from the Munich airport). The journalists track the private airport in Oberpfaffenhoffen (often get runway pictures, too) and the airport. Then the hospitals and the training grounds. If I would be a journalist I would pin a tracker onto the red company Audi that Mösmang (who is responsible for the new players arrivals and their integration into town) drives.

The general competency of the club has steadily improved ever since Woodward left. We’re not handing ridiculous contracts out and the transfer targets make sense.

I think that’s a very solid assessment.

It’s the thought process of a club not doing well. Any signing made by your rivals seems like a sensible one and all of your own have a negative spin. I can think of another such place in a not too distant past.

Fair play to the club.

We got confirmation of the severity of Eriksen's injury just this morning and they immediately got to work identifying and bringing someone in to fill that hole/need within a very compressed period of time.

He was linked around noon and he's at the training ground to sign all the documents by by night time.

Feels like we're more competent in the market these days than years past
