He got man of the match in the cup final against Ajax a few weeks ago too.Watched Ivory Coast match during AFCON and was really impressed by how he played. Good experience at PSV so does seem the type that will pop up in premier league sooner or later.
Type of deal we've bemoaned the club for not attempting when they happen at other clubsApparently €35m may be enough to acquire his services.
Quite sure De Jong is the no.1 midfield target but we would absolutely still need an out and out DM to play beside him if we got him.He's physically strong and a good tackler, but his distribution is not the best, we would still need someone like de Jong to bring the ball out of defense
We better be signing 2 midfielders!He's physically strong and a good tackler, but his distribution is not the best, we would still need someone like de Jong to bring the ball out of defense
Quite sure multiple clubs would be all over him if it wasn't for his legal situation.Haven’t seen him too much but he looks a little immobile to me.
Bissouma would be my first choice without doubt. Class player, knows the league too. Great as both a ball winner and ball user.
We would have to fire him from the club if he’s found guilty though. That’s an enormous gamble to take on a potential sex offender.Haven’t seen him too much but he looks a little immobile to me.

Sangare and Frenkie would be niceHe's physically strong and a good tackler, but his distribution is not the best, we would still need someone like de Jong to bring the ball out of defense

Can't see United looking into it much coming on the heels of the Greenwood stuff...

Still under investigation though...He has no ‘legal situation’ and is not awaiting/on any trial to be ‘found guilty’ of though. Not sure why the ongoing misunderstanding of his legal case. He was arrested 8 months ago and released without charge. That’s it.
Bissouma would still cost a fair bit so I imagine we're looking at cheaper options.Haven’t seen him too much but he looks a little immobile to me.

Which means nothing in an of itself. It’s not a legal status of any kind. The fact that he was arrested and then bailed, before then being released from bail just means the coos reserve the right to ask him anymore questions if they wish. People can stay ‘under investigation’ indefinitely. People are acting as if there is some ongoing case that requires an ‘outcome’ - there really isn’t.Still under investigation though...
We’re not going through a similar situation. We’re going through a similar situation to the person Bissouma was arrested with, but not to Bissouma himself.Still under investigation though...
We're literally going through a similar situation already. Other clubs might sign up for him regardless but I really doubt we will
He has a year left on his deal I’m sure.Bissouma would still cost a fair bit so I imagine we're looking at cheaper options.
We'll have to compromise in some of the gaps that need filling unfortunately.
He can also come and go as he pleases, he has been playing with Mali in every international break in the last 6 months.Which means nothing in an of itself. It’s not a legal status of any kind.

Look you can say all this but it’s most likely not a coincidence that no one is being linked with him at all. There’s not a sniff of interest from what I’ve seen.We’re not going through a similar situation.

Greenwood is the subject of criminal proceedings and Bissouma is not.
Lique 1 is a higher quality league.Compares favorably to Real's 100m man for 65m less

But isn't De Jong at his best as a deep-lying playmaker behind 2 CM's? Where would Sangare fit in that 3 man midfield if he's not getting the DM position?Quite sure De Jong is the no.1 midfield target but we would absolutely still need an out and out DM to play beside him if we got him.
Would allow Frenkie to do what he does best
Well there’s not a sniff of anything - not a sniff of any criminal proceedings, disciplinary action or discussion about his legal status. He’s living his life as normal without any mention apart from a fee on the caf from what I can see.Look you can say all this but it’s most likely not a coincidence that no one is being linked with him at all. There’s not a sniff of interest from what I’ve seen.
Those passing stats are quite good really. Would be nice to have a DM who's not afraid to take some responsibility for creating at times as well.Compares favorably to Real's 100m man for 65m less

Not true, Frenkie isnt necessarily best with an out and out DM.Quite sure De Jong is the no.1 midfield target but we would absolutely still need an out and out DM to play beside him if we got him.

I must’ve read some version of this 1000 times on this forumThe club will let him go to Leicester or Everton on the cheap where he’ll prove to be a massive bargain, and then we’ll monitor him for several years while considering a bid of £80 million plus.
