Please for the love of god.
Any midfielder would do at this stage. Even if we can't pronounce his name.
Fred got destroyed several times by either Trincao or Traore. I don't believe they would've got much change out of Tchouameni who I believe is probably the strongest DM linked to us.
Yup
Give them back Martial for this guy, when we can't get a refund perhaps they will offer us store credit.
If we can sell Lingard asap, and with James’ sale, we should get a DM, and Tchouameni would complete a nice transfer window,
Have there actually been any credible links to this guy? It seems more like a few people in this forum really like him so are just willing it to happen...
Compared to all the journalists linking us to Camavinga, Rice and Neves, the stories attaching us to this guy seem very thin.

Can’t say I’ve seen anything linking us to Neves, and the Rice links are very weak - we’re fluttering eyelids at him rather than seriously making an offer.
It's not gonna happen now anyway. Too late. Those guys are deep in training with the national team now.
This guy is another Eric Djemba-Djemba....no thanks
There have been 0 credible links to any midfielder. The most has been some throw away comment including us in competition with Chelsea to get Saul. So yeah 0.
Think if he has a good season them we might go in for him next summer maybe even January
Pivoting from the Camavinga thread.
Frustrating than we can make signings like Amad and Pellestri but not ones like this.
Yeah seems to be an area where the club have had a bit of a blind spot for many years, maybe it comes from the bad experience of summer 2015 when the Schmidfield didn't work out well at all and only Matic has been brought in since then
It’s so poor though. So many players have passed us by in CM. We’ll sign someone in Jan/next summer and it’ll be another 4 or 5 years before we sign someone else. We are the only club in football that doesn’t prioritise midfield, going back to the SAF days.
The only time we've made signings like Amad and Pellestri in recent years was Amad and Pellestri. We at least tried for both Camavinga and Bellingham the year before but both said no, recruitment isn't the issue here, we're going for the right targets. I'm glad that we're not blowing are load on mediocre players like Neves. At some point in the next windows I'm confident we'll get it right, we've slowly been fixing priorities. It was always a massive ask to get everything fixed this window but we've done a fantastic job in getting 3/4 of the way there. Feel some of our fans are getting a bit spoiled from just how much progress we made this window. We'll be there soon.
Midfield is the most important area of the pitch there is no excuse for having it in the state it’s in. The only player I’d keep is McTominay. Pogba isn’t a true CM so he’s not in my thoughts.
Matic Pogba Fred VDB and McT promoted and hannibal for the youth. Every single midfielder we have on the books has been brought in since then

We've got Ronaldo for 2 seasons and we are wasting one of those by having such a crap midfield, we'll comfortably get top 4 but nothing more than that, it's not spoilt to want the team to compete for the PL, as far as waiting goes, it seems that's down to a Rice hard on and he's not even that good.
God I was really hoping to see a good link when I opened up this thread
Would be my preferred midfield signing.
A loan with an option to buy if we can't find the funds would be great.
One can hope.

desperate stuff now..

For France, playing with Pogba yesterday for the second half vs. Bosnia. He is clearly the best DM for us. We should have bought him already.
Was it a midfield 2? Bosnia is not a very strong team but interesting to see nevertheless
Seen very little of him but he looks really complete and mature for his age. If he's as good as suggested, I really hope we don't miss out. Passing doesn't look limited either.
Looked like a midfield 3 with Veretout at 6, Tchouameni and Pogba as 8s (Pogba a little more advanced)
So strong and mobile, with good passing, too. Such a shame, his name is not Rice.
Started like that but then became a midfield 2 when Kounde at RB was red carded and Veretout was subbed off. Tchouameni was fantastic with Pogba.
Really hope we look for deals like this instead of overpaying for Rice. But I'm not surprised that Chelsea were the ones linked with him.
Definitely worth keeping an eye on, was very impressed with him yesterday.
We have our January target
I've been following him a bit, watched him again last night, very energetic, full of running, Good passer(long or short) and press resistant too which is what is needed to be a top DM, the kid is improving everytime I've watched him, we should get him in this January before our rivals pick up interest.
So why are you posting it here?
What on earth are you on about? Don't i have rights to post on here?
The boy has a better ceiling compared to Fred, isn't that what we all want to sign a player better than Fred?
Yup. He looks a quality young CM. I'd argue that we also need a proper playmaker from midfield but this as one out of two additions in the midfield sounds great.
it's no surprise that Ole doesn't really trust United scout system to come up with "hidden gem". So far, other than the most obvious players to get, their recommendations are not that successful.
