It looks like we’re talking to multiple midfield targets at the same time which is classis Woodward. I’d imagine that Tolisso is not near the top of the list.
Classic Woodward? Isn't it just standard practice to have multiple options?It looks like we’re talking to multiple midfield targets at the same time which is classis Woodward. I’d imagine that Tolisso is not near the top of the list.
I guess but am not sure if other clubs go as far down the line, putting deals in place with multiple targets as Woodward is said to do.Classic Woodward? Isn't it just standard practice to have multiple options?

That Boufasi guy is a good source though isn't he? If he is reporting we are in talks with his entourage I'd be more inclined to believe that than any VdB source.It looks like we’re talking to multiple midfield targets at the same time which is classis Woodward.

Hargreaves was easily money well spent. Absolute beast in the 08 seasonAfter how Hargreaves and Bastian turned out I ain`t sure going after players Bayern are willingly selling is a good idea.
This. They never got over 99.As a club United should NEVER trust players Bayern are happy to sell
Fans may not like it but this puts us in a stronger position to negotiate with the selling clubs as they are less certain on who our primary targets areI hate that our name is thrown into every transfer story
I'm so happy I'm not the only one who thinks this.Hargreaves was easily money well spent. Absolute beast in the 08 season

Bayern also weren’t ‘happy to sell’ him to us either.Hargreaves was easily money well spent. Absolute beast in the 08 season
Yes. I think generally we should treat this with caution but Tolisso is a very good player from what I understand. @Blackwidow has given a post suggesting its more that Bayern are overloaded with options after Kimmich entered the fray in midfield. If this is the case and Tolisso can stay fit, I think it's a wise deal for 35m.Bayern also weren’t ‘happy to sell’ him to us either.
Yup he had it all. Was absolutely immense. Would have been one of the most complete midfielders in the world if he had stayed fit.Hargreaves was easily money well spent. Absolute beast in the 08 season
He’s a good player tbh, only question I’d maybe have is the profile of midfielder he is. I’m in the group that would prefer a defensive specialist in midfield first, although I can also see the need to improve on Pereira and Lingard. I just think from a first XI perspective, even a Declan Rice is more what we need.Yes.

Heck even if he's only fit half the time, so long as its the right times, it's still a good deal. We have McTominay, Fred, Bruno, Pogba and Matic as it is. For 35m I'd be quite excited.

Most people will prefer a DM but I think Ole is set on Bruno with a pivot of Pogba and Fred/Mctominay in midfield. So we're looking for back upsGiven that you guys have Pogba and Fernandes it seems a little surprising you are going after likes of Tolisso and Van de Beek. I would think someone like Partey is much more of a necessity to improve your midfield given he'd allow someone like Pogba to be somewhat 'relieved' of offensive duties.
I think being without Pogba most of the season has highlighted to Ole that Lingard and Pereira are not good enough for this club, and I think he wants them gone. I’m not sure the purpose of Mata tbh, and still confused why he was given a 3 year deal last year. If we get an additional cover that he seems to be after for the 8/10 role - not sure if Mata is anything more than a highly paid mascot to keep spirits up around the grounds.Given that you guys have Pogba and Fernandes it seems a little surprising you are going after likes of Tolisso and Van de Beek.
