It is not risk free. Read somewhere it is a loan with obligation to buy.Loan with an option to buy? That's basically risk free. When did we start getting so good at negotiating deals?
It's still ridiculous that he keeps being mentioned. He was an abomination from day 1.See the **** of Fred lives on.

ABC sounds good for a hard exam.Excellent signing. I guess the transfer window isn't a total failure anymore and is back to being an amazing success.
I imagine an ABC midfield in big games against strong, high pressing opposition with Mount and Eriksen as second half game changers. And a more offensive approach (probably with only one of Casemiro and Amrabat) plus gametime for Mainoo against weaker teams.
Amad is 16. Amrabat might get 4.Shirt number, I wonder? 16?
Amad just turned 21.Amad is 16. Amrabat might get 4.
In a good way or a bad way?I still don't know why I remember some of his Utrecht games. It's one of those randomly memorable players.
The best bit was:See the **** of Fred lives on.
In a random way, he looked decent but nothing special but he was also very young. Though the thing that surprised me when I saw him again last year was that he wasn't as attacking as I remembered, around 20 years old he was basically an attacking midfielder if I remember correctly.In a good way or a bad way?
If we had money we would have bought him. We can only do this loan deal and hes out of contract end of the season, so its a good deal for Fiorentina.Loan with an option to buy? That's basically risk free. When did we start getting so good at negotiating deals?
He can deputise for Casemiro but I think Ten Hag might also (at least on occasion) look to replicate his Ajax midfield setup, which generally consisted of a 4-2-3-1 shape with a ball-winner (Schone or later Alvarez) in central midfield, alongside a player who dropped into the defensive line and collected the ball from the GK/CBs before progressing the play through carries/passes (De Jong or later Gravenberch). I'm expecting Casemiro to play the Schone/Alvarez role, while Amrabat replaces Eriksen in the De Jong/Gravenberch role. Ten Hag can still select Mount if he wants to go with a more aggressive 4-3-3, but this signing at the least gives Ten Hag the tactical option of changing the orientation of his midfield to a 4-2-3-1 if he wants to. McTominay is too limited to play either of the deeper roles, while Fred was too erratic. Amrabat is not world class, but his passing and dribbling from deep are both good and reliable and he should help bring a bit of balance to the midfield when picked.Is this more of a Casemiro mid/long term replacement rather than partner? just watching some of his highlight and "vs" videos it does seem his best position is a 6 where he can receive the ball a lot and keep things moving.
Really? He must have really improved over the years.Wasn't good enough for Feyenoord, but he might be able to adept to this slightly lower level.
Yes he is. It's wierd that he hasn't played in the premier league because he has always felt like one of those players who has been around for a long time.I still don't know why I remember some of his Utrecht games. It's one of those randomly memorable players.
Just wrong place wrong time I guess. He was also used as a rb with us a few times.Really? He must have really improved over the years.
Can we go with Batty Dave? The absolute mad lad.Thank god we’re no longer ‘Casemiro or bust’.
What is his Oleised nickname going to be though? Soffy? Yanny? Amby? Batty? Dave?
Kruger? Mercury?The best bit was:
he's a ferocious pitbull with loads of energy. Like Fred
No. Unfortunately not.Will be be eligible to play against Arsenal?
Mount on the right then? I don't see ETH giving up on Mount after 2 games.See, now THIS is good business. Loan with an option to buy at a pretty low price. A player that can have an immediate impact on our ability to not get dominated in the middle of the park.
I really hope the plan is to have him start with Casemiro in a double-pivot.
That is the next problem. How long it will take for Ten Hag to change tactics and stick Amrabat in next to Casemiro instead of Mount further up next to Bruno.See, now THIS is good business.

Yes, let Mount and Antony battle it out for that position. The pressure of knowing that neither of them have an assured place in the first eleven might be good for both of them.Mount on the right then? I don't see ETH giving up on Mount after 2 games.
With Mount injured for 6-8 weeks, it should be the Brighton match onwardsThat is the next problem. How long it will take for Ten Hag to change tactics and stick Amrabat in next to Casemiro instead of Mount further up next to Bruno.
But that’s for another day.
Delighted we look like we’re signing this guy.
