Starting to see a few links to this guy whi I think would be a really solid but at the reported price (30 - 40 million euros)
Lucien Agoume

Baleba replacement or partner to Baleba? What kind of midfielder is he?
At those price points should allow for him and a keeper, no?
But I don’t know a thing about him/if he’s any good

Let's go, Lucien is the keeper we are looking for.
Have seen literally nothing of him, but have seen his name come up a lot in those "alternative targets United should sign" type posts online.
Scored a nice goal at the weekend
Oh interesting, thanks.On paper he looks very impressive to be fair
I'm not convinced. Someone posted his running stats and he was pretty slow. We need a player with high mobility.
How reliable is the source?
For 25-30m I don’t think you can go wrong, it’s not like 50m on Ugarte, I think he’d be a good signing
Not sure at the moment trying to find more info.
I know nothing about him
Has been my first choice after Baleba. Not seen much of him beyond his all touch highlights and the impressive stats. I would hope he’s the Ugarte replacement with Baleba being the Casemiro replacement
Seems a good player from what ive seen.
Improved really well last year. Isnt that mobile type player aka Baleba though.

Do you know his strengths and weaknesses or shall I youtube binge him
Stats look good, and that price is point is where we need to be working at to address 2 or 3 positons without the added pressure of a massive money move on the players shoulders. Allows them to come in and be a squad player if that's where they land up, for ~30m thats fine.
Tesco Baleba? Is he a better option than Ben Stiller? If we can get them for around £25-35 million each, maybe we go with both? We need two new CMs anyway, and at that cost the risk that one turns out bad isn't too big given they are on sensible wages. At least not compared to the big money we've wasted on dross in recent years.

I have decided I want him for these stats alone. Let's make this happen guys. You know what to do
Haha, common theme: “I know nassink about heem!” +1 for me.
I pray we get this right and the scouting team earn some coin with a gem few saw coming.

He is from Cameroon, but had played for France at all youth levels.
Not capped yet at senior…..biggest worry - Afcon….can still play for his birth country…..

A signing like this at that price point would be great business. Let’s get it done asap
Who, the actor ?
Any reliable sources or is this just another clickbait frenzy to excite the muppets?
Bring em all in, would be a hell of a team.
Brighton should be selling us Baleba and spending some of it on him.
He's even slower than Ugarte.
I prefer Lamine Camara.

Really promising that the club are targeting the right profile of footballers. I can’t lie, he looks like a really good fit for what we’re looking for. Maybe a year too early for him, but he’s super talented and exactly the type of player we should be considering.
Funnily enough, I think we were tracking him at Sochaux. Wouldn't be surpised if we knew about him when we got Kambwala. Seems like a reasonable price, hope it's someone we're looking at.
Probably dependant on sales I'd imagine.
Sign Agoume this year, sell Ugarte next year, buy Baleba. ???. Profit.
The latter for now.
For £26-35m I'm all for this.
I think for a player who will play alongside Bruno he is the better option. In terms wjat we have missed in mid since scholes and carrick it looks like stiller. On paper Stiller and Agoume look like a good midfield pairing. Probably a good midfield three with Bruno, if we played a midfield three.
Well that's not good
People saying his slow. He never looked slow from the highlights I’ve watched . Just looks more to me like he doesn’t do much running because his team hardly defend transitions. I could be wrong though
What's the difference between forward passes and progressive passes?On paper he looks very impressive to be fair
Also without knowing anything about him or how Sevilla plays these days he doesn't seem to have a high passing volume or completion rate. I thought we would be interested in someone who's a bit more involved.
He seems more like the option when we can't rely on sales. I think all of our sales are now going to go down to the wire as the players or clubs are going to try and squeeze us. I think it's wise to not be reliant on sales and still invest. We can then prepare for Baleba in Jan or the summer.
