According to the Health secretary we held informal talks, early talks and initial talks.
That’s a lot of talks

That's the best post I've read here today. Very insighful.
Nah I’d want to play in Spain if it couldn’t be United. Better weather, better lifestyle plus what is it, 14 champions league titles? High chance of success there.
Better lifestyle is completely subjective but yeah, probably a better lifestyle for most people.
Thanks for the effort and all the info. One thing though, watching him play and looking at his qualities so far do you personally feel he will further develop as a number 8 or his playing style is more suited to be a defensive midfielder where he played in his 1st season?
You, sir, have an impeccable taste.

Get the feeling that playing in Spain would get you Ballon d'Or easier.
Err... Galaticos? 14 CL trophies? Nice weather? To follow footsteps of Ronaldo? Future Ballon D'ors?
It's subjective but as a wealthy athlete there is nothing you can do in other countries that you can't do in Spain, in particular Barcelona or Madrid.
"Percussion qualities", "regain your splendour" - I just love the imagery a non-native speaker is able to convey in his posts!
@ Jim Beam :
I think he wishes to be a number 8 and he has the qualities to do it very well.
once thrown with the ball at the feet, it is very hard to stop, it is lively and runs quickly with the ball. He got a lot of fouls and cautions for the opponent which is always valuable
But if I were his coach I would put him number 6 because I have never seen such a young player occupy this position of high responsibility so well. He is excellent at defense, pressing and recovering the ball from the opponent's feet. He can still progress on his placement however
One last thing to remember to have an opinion on him. Last year our team was much less efficient than two years ago. More difficult for Cama to express himself, the expectations were out of proportion to him, and he was being watched. The departure of Raphinha and Edouard Mendy at the end of the transfer window were two hard knocks. He discovers his 1st Champions League and national selections. That's a lot for a 17 year old guy. I'm sure he will have digested it all and will confirm.
Thank you for your welcome, great forum, it made me want to watch Looking for Eric

Thanks. As what I predicted based on stats why his performance dropped because in 19/20 he played as no 6 while in 20/21 he played as no 8.
And also good to hear the bold texts regarding his strength and weakness. The bold texts make him look like a perfect midfielder for Ole's criteria. An all rounder midfielder with amazing work rate and attitude as well as incredible physical abilities. After reading this, I am more convinced he will fit in to what Ole wants his midfielder to play.
He sounds like Edgar Davids. Flawless on ball controls, able to dribble, strong defensively, physical player, fighter attitude, and passing is not his strong point but not weak point either.
You laugh but wouldn't you move to the US if you had the opportunity to surpass the orange one?
Orange one being Trump?
Cheeky shite
Madrid night life...
Who else?
When have you ever been so nice to newbies?
Nah. I wasn't the best footballer but my dream was to play for United. That said I can see the appeal of playing in Barca. Fantastic climate, great city etc. Perhaps Rome would be great as well or even Marseilles. That said money seems to be the main appeal.
Damn imagine still being in the head of random french people despite not being president anymore.
Err.. I do have the impression that is what motivates Mbappe wanting to join Real, at the very least.
I’m usually not, but he’s delivering a semi interesting message
United need a quality #8 that play box to box with the desire to do the defensive side of the work. It would be a comfortable role for him and gradually work him into the 6 role if that is deemed the position of strength for him in the future. The vital piece would be to get him into the squad and not have another quality young CM slip out of our sights when we have the chance to bring him in.
Promote him, Geebs.
I just want a DM to pair with Pogba. Could he do that?
Edgar Davids regen!
I loved the bit about putting him back in defence when they were winning and attack when they were losing. An interesting approach to keep someone hungry and learning and for a player who was already obviously well ahead of his years. Very cool info. I’ll be gutted if he doesn’t come here!

It would be worrying if I couldn't remember less than a year ago.
He’s had 1 post. His next 9 might be rants to the gods of brexit, love notes to trump or praise of @esmufc07. All disgusting and so we should wait
Fair enough.
You want another MaxNL or whatever that guy's that sold Depay to the café name was. You promote him, he'll jinx Camavinga
I was most surprised at how much you were buttering him up. Good post though. I always like those situations where an intelligent oppo signs up due to interest in their team's players.
You're reading into it, don't you think?
It's obviously a reference to his abilities on the snare drum.....
After this bloke and Varane, we ought buy Haaland and then that Mbappe guy. We'd smash everyone.
Don't think Pogba is going to be around to be honest. I'm not convinced they are willing to pay him what he wants and be on a 4 yr contract at massive wages. Another topic though.
Trump, while a completed donkey on twitter, is a hell of a lot better than this soon to be vegetable we have now for president. Again, another topic for a different forum.
I just think with how the Bellingham thing has played out, we will be pissing ourselves for allowing this player to make a move elsewhere if we have the chance to sign him.
In France when we talk about percussion it's not about controlling tempo but the ability to quickly transition when carrying the ball.
That'd be a shame. That said we can't afford to lose him on a free.
I'm comming down from my Sancho-high, need.. . more.. .. unzipping!
No pressure at all then. Fabregas was bossing the midfield against us, Juventus and Real Madrid in the CL at 18/19.
