It seems he’s been offered to United so is available. Unclear if we are looking at him as well as Sabitzer or he was an alternative…

Seems extremely unlikely we get both.

Transfermarkt is saying he is out of contract in 5 months. Wouldn’t we just buy him? Or are we truly that poor?

Hasn't really progressed much after showing great promise 3 years ago.

Came here to post exactly this. Once Sabitzer’s signed that’s our transfer business concluded.
Yeah won't have that playmaker for most of second half of season so will have to play a different way without Eriksen

I’m currently stood at the station and I’ve seen this train is approaching. Do I jump on?

Why would they loan a player who is out of contract in 5 months? Clearly nothing in it.

Probably nothing in it, but that won’t be due to the length of his contract. It’s irrelevant. If he stays they will need to pay him for the final 6 months of his contract, if they loan him, then we will. Either way he will be a free agent in the summer, but no reason why he has to spend the last 6 months at Lyon instead of here, theoretically.

Would take him. Still so much talent and was still pretty good last season.

Edit - Also Lyon have just signed a forward and a left winger and he's already not playing much so I can see him being available for cheap relative to ability

That would be a bit mental as Sabitzer is decent defensively and composed in possession while Bruno is neither.
I should’ve added I meant as an option in games we require a bit more of a playmaker from deep and Bruno has a better passing range, the majority of the time it would be the opposite way with Sabitzer as an 8 and Bruno as the 10.

Has there been any real link or just 1 tweet?
Not happening.. no movement here.. no medical arranged.. no time left.

Think he wouldve been on the list before we decided to go for Sabitzer

Looks like one of a number of midfielders we enquired about and/or were offered in the past 24 hours. Seems we decided that Sabitzer was our favourite of the available options. I do quite like Aouar but I think we made a sensible choice.
