We haven't brought him yet, have we?Good acquisition, well done to club and Jose.
Sarcasm?I am truly elated at this news. That is Carrick well and truly replaced. Hopefully now we go for a 10 next
I think we acquired him the moment City pulled out and briefed the media with usual "he chose money over Pep" and "not interested anymore" as it was two horse race for this signature. From then on it was a matter of details I guess, recent news only confirms it.We haven't brought him yet, have we?
Jim white is never going to live that Benatia stopover down.at the very first reply
Is he quite similar to Carrick then?I am truly elated at this news. That is Carrick well and truly replaced. Hopefully now we go for a 10 next
On the same plane as Benatia, Jimbo?Tweet

The age and height conspiracy destroyedOur average height is gonna get ruined with this signing
Fernandinho and Willian have done well, so here’s hoping.Are we going to finally have a Brazilian do well in a United shirt?
People usually make the excuse that they fail to adapt to the British weather but that cannot be said with Fred who has lived in Ukraine, which is equally as cold as the UK, for 5 years.
Nope, nothing like him.Is he quite similar to Carrick then?
That's Fred you've described. A defensive midfielder with an eye for a pass through the lines.Hopefully he's 1 out of at least 2 midfielders that we sign.
I would quite like someone like Seri come in too who sits deeper and is more of a playmaker.
It's incredible how bad rep does Luckhurst have on here? He was the only one who was insisting last season that we've no interest in Fabinho and are only interested in Matic.No he's a stupid bumda.
I just want to win a transfer thread.
The Pogba one should have been mine, btw, but some other cnut started one rather than adding to the existing one.
Yeah I don't get it. I think it stemmed from Fabinho. Everyone was convinced we were in for him, but Luckhurst. When Di Mario reported we were in for Fabinho everyone shat on LuckhurstIt's incredible how bad rep does Luckhurst have on here? He was the only one who was insisting last season that we've no interest in Fabinho and are only interested in Matic.
Yep, and, in fairness to Luckhurst he went big on this story a few days ago - if it comes off, fair play to him.It's incredible how bad rep does Luckhurst have on here? He was the only one who was insisting last season that we've no interest in Fabinho and are only interested in Matic.
No he did well on this and the Matic transfers. I'm just curious to know how many he calls overall and what the general hit rate is.It's incredible how bad rep does Luckhurst have on here?

He looks more like a box-to-box with an eye for a pass, and gets involved in build up play.That's Fred you've described. A defensive midfielder with an eye for a pass through the lines.
He gets a bad rep because 90% of the stuff he prints is click bait.It's incredible how bad rep does Luckhurst have on here? He was the only one who was insisting last season that we've no interest in Fabinho and are only interested in Matic.
To be honest, if Fred played any further back he'd be a Matic replacement. I don't think we need one, maybe a back-up but that wouldnt be Seri.He looks more like a box-to-box with an eye for a pass, and gets involved in build up play.
Seri sits further back and dictates play with through balls and cross field passes etc.
No idea if that was him. But is he wrong? Look at United fans on Twitter.No he did well on this and the Matic transfers. I'm just curious to know how many he calls overall and what the general hit rate is.
Also is he the one who kept calling certain sects of United fans a bunch of "fanbois"?
Which stuff of his is click bait? He's a genuine United fan who largely writes complimentary stuff about us. You can say that the Matic one is pure guesswork, but I'd disagree.He gets a bad rep because 90% of the stuff he prints is click bait.
Him getting Matic right could either be sheer coincedence or an actual source. Because most of his stuff is rehashed or wrong you can't really tell.
Yeah I agree. I didn't consider him as reliable at all but he isn't bad at all. Like few said he was the first to report Matic transfer when everyone was busy joining Fabinho train.It's incredible how bad rep does Luckhurst have on here? He was the only one who was insisting last season that we've no interest in Fabinho and are only interested in Matic.
I think to be fair that was because he received a lot of criticism from United twitter when he said that United doesn't have any interest in Fabinho. I think di Marzio said Fabinho is close.No he did well on this and the Matic transfers. I'm just curious to know how many he calls overall and what the general hit rate is.
Also is he the one who kept calling certain sects of United fans a bunch of "fanbois"?
What happens if he breaks his leg though? I hope we get all these deals to the 99% stage but signatures come after the WCSigning him before the world cup is a good idea just in case he performs really well in the world cup, and his price goes through the roof.
He has a bad rep because he is a bellend. Matic the only one he has gotten right so far.It's incredible how bad rep does Luckhurst have on here? He was the only one who was insisting last season that we've no interest in Fabinho and are only interested in Matic.

Surely if you're unsure of his hit rate you can't really rank him as one of the top reporters?I think to be fair that was because he received a lot of criticism from United twitter when he said that United doesn't have any interest in Fabinho. I think di Marzio said Fabinho is close.
As far as his general hit rate is concerned, I don't know but I consider him and Duncan Castles as two top most reporters when it comes to news about United.
This signing will go down as the easiest job for the marketing department in history.Fred The Red
I saw an interesting discussion between the 'wise heads' on the Sunday Supplement. The experienced journos expressed a huge degree of sympathy for their juniors, it's a new world and unfortunately they are pressured to get stuff on the website, that generates traffic, that in turn gets in the ££'s. The experienced guys work on the big stories, and are given plenty of time to back up what they say.He gets a bad rep because 90% of the stuff he prints is click bait.

I agree. The dream looks to be SMS but sadly no links to him.Pogba, Matic, Herrera and Fred. Add one more creative player to the mix to compete with Pogba and we've got great balance.
