Crazy signing if true. Looking forward to the midfield of:
At the end of the transfer window.
McTominay - Fred - Bruno

Sergej Milinković-Savić

linked with him for 6 years or so, will never believe.
This is more what I would expect. Under £100m but if (for example) Rabiot doesn't come off then maybe spend a little more and get someone else. I would be very shocked if we spend over £120m... And if we buy more than two more players.
The process for scouting 800 midfielders has begun
Yep agreed.
I like him. I don't think he's going to come and be this connector/metronome, though. Nothing like De Jong. So we'd have to get Rabiot to do that. To me he's more of an old school midfielder. Gets involved all over the pitch, tries things, scores loads of goals.
Rabiot, Fred and SMS looks quite balanced to my eyes. Rabiot and Fred have decent work rate because SMS is not the type to be triggering every press. He's a big leggy unit.

Please be true... After a day off Arnautovic and Rabiot this much needed.
Is he any good? Has he regressed or progressed?
Also can he unlock Pogba?

He's the Ezequiel Garay of midfielders. More chance of us signing Nigel De Jong.
Rabiot - SMS
FDJ
Murtough madness?!

Not saying much but Serie A fans on Reddit think this would be a very very good signing for us and if it was at the price quoted (€60 mill) it would be an absolute steal.
I wouldn’t be too against him and Rabiot coming in if we were to miss out of FDJ. Rabiot has been more of a CDM recently and SMS is a proper box to box.
We aren't signing FDJ. It ain't happening.
Wouldn’t say no IF it’s not agent or club driven BS and IF Frenkie is off the menu
I wonder are United putting a little pressure on Barca?
I’ll believe this when I see it but it’d be the first decent thing the clubs done all summer.
So when's this guy due a new contract?
Is he part owned by the Italian mafia and his registration will be virtually impossible?
There must be something wrong, its what we do.

Well we’re not signing all 4 of the midfielders we’ve been linked to in the past 6 hours. The line will be that these have been in the works for weeks and aren’t a reaction to yesterday, but it’s a bit of a coincidence that the day after Ten Hag has to watch McFred’s disappearing act, we immediately accelerate deals for every midfielder in Western Europe.
Lose 2-1 v Brighton
Within 24 hours we are linked / signing Rabiot / Arnautovic / SMS / Guido Rodríguez and of course FDJ

Oh this is golden if true, the amount shit back tracking oh boi
Would you have expected anything less? Every summer it feels like we do something similar.
Not really, we have to get on with it and it's not on Barca now, it's FDJ. Also Barca aren't worried, they have Chelsea around to buy him too
Links with this guy for 7 years in a row now. I’d love him here.
Now we're talking. This guy and Guido please will do nicely.
Chelsea ain't buying more midfielders.
Nothing but a distraction. We aren’t spending big now de jong isn’t coming.
At the end of last season (pre de Jong links) my preference as for us to sign a new midfield partnership.
If this is true, looks like we’re putting together a new trio of Rabiot, Savic and Eriksen.

Are you serious?
File with with Carvalho, Gaitan and Wes as consistently linked to and feck all happens
Thankfully this is nonsense, since it wouldn't make any sense.
Good player
Care to elaborate?
Probably - It's the hope that kills ya.
SMS = modern day Gaitan
He's a good player, but not the type of midfielder we need. As others in this thread have already pointed out.
Wrong 'ovic' thread, mate
Any credible source saying we're in for him?
The Telegraph are pretty credible I would say.
Fair enough - not sure what you mean by that. If we don't need a dynamic, strong, technical, good passer who can control the center of the park then I guess you're right.
